Sevagoth — Sow and Reap
Endgame build. Dark Propagation plants Sow on Reap and spreads it on death. Gloom holds them still. Rooms fold.

First Gloom first
This loadout sits at Endgame. It wants Forma, Helminth, or shards you may not have. Play the Starter until those systems are open — then this page is the upgrade, not the homework.
Open First GloomWhy this build?
Endgame for endgame / endurance, the 2026 caster Sevagoth, any tile with more than three bodies
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Dark Propagation is why Sow/Reap beat 'just Gloom and a gun' in 2026.
- Gloom is still the crowd control. Do not Helminth 3 on this config.
- You can skip 4 entirely. The Death Well filling is a side effect, not the goal.
Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · new accounts · players without Helminth
Specialised investment for hard content
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Primer optional — Sow is percent-health. A Viral primer (Epitaph) is comfort, not required once Strength and the augment are real.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Gloom
- New account or low investment → First Gloom
- This is too much Forma / cost → Sow and Reap — Optimised

Your note, in this browser. Separate from Codex verification — the stamp on the card is editorial, this is yours.

- Required mods 0/9 · required — 0/9 named
- Forma 0/5 · required — 5 on the card. Codex does not track installed Forma.
- Helminth · optional — Not required
- Arcanes · recommended — 0/2 recommended
- Shards · optional — Optional unless the card says a breakpoint
Investment: 5 Forma · Reactor · 2 shards · 4 specialised mods. Typical farm ~4–6 hours. Trade if a route is vaulted.
Codex Checked · Compared against current game data for this update. · Update 43.5 · 5 Sept 2026 · PC · Current
Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

Tonight
What is actually up
30 minutes, one hour, or two — matched to this loadout, not a dump of the Origin System.
30 minutes
Farm Growing Power
One named gap. The Silver Grove quest
60 minutes
Growing Power, then Forma
Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.
120 minutes
One Archon Hunt
If you are logging off after this, stop at the named component. Do not start a second Forma session tired.
- Farm Growing Power
The Silver Grove quest
Who this is for
Play this build from zero
Steel Path. Dark Propagation is bought. You want hallways to fuse.
- Time to a playable copy
- After the augment and a Strength stack.
- First mission to practice in
- SP Exterminate. If kills do not infect the next room, Range is too small.

Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Gloom (3) so they cannot leave the garden.
- 2Sow (2) a clump, or just Reap (1) if Dark Propagation is on — Reap plants the seed now.
- 3Reap again through the ripe pack. Detonate. Deaths spread Sow into the next hallway.
- 4Shadow (4) only if you want the melee form for a heavy. The caster config does not need it.

Reap the clump

Duration
155% for Sow cook time
Range
175%+ so Sow, Reap, and Gloom share a tile
