The Yoking Station is a Miscellaneous utility that serves as as stronger variant of the Smithing Station obtained in New Game+ by buying its recipe and defeating the Hedge Broodmother. It can upgrade weapons up to level 15 through use of Fusion Crystals, though not Armor.


How to Use[]

Once opened, the Yoking Station UI will show the player's inventory. Suitable items will be highlighted. Confirming an item will switch the screen to the enhancement menu.

The enhancement menu shows the item's current level and stats, cost to enhance it, and the stats it will gain. Once enhanced, it can not be reverted.

Weapon Enhancement[]

All weapons have a standard enhancement path from level 1 to 5 that improves their damage and durability.

After level 5, the player must choose between 5 upgrade paths: Mighty, Fresh, Spicy, Salty, or Sour.

The "Mighty" upgrade path has the same stats as the elemental upgrade paths, but gives an additional effect to some weapons, including:

Any other weapons receive no unique effects.

The other 4 paths, on top of the normal damage and durability boosts, imbue the weapon with corresponding Damage Augments.

Certain Tools can only follow the "Mighty" path. This includes all shovels, repair, ranged, pre-augmented (weapons with elements already added without upgrading), rotten, and the two robot weapons (Pinch Whacker and Prod Smacker).

After this point, the elemental paths and Mighty path converge into one path to further increase items levels beyond level 9. These upgrades require Fusion Crystals, obtained via crafting them out of Infused Ooze from killing Infused Creatures.
