What is the Twining Threads event in Limbus Company?
Twining Threads is Limbus Company's Chapter 9.5 Intervallo event, running from April 16, 2026 through May 14, 2026 (KST). The event introduces two new Ring-affiliated Identities tied to a Fauvist art theme, a dedicated currency called Severed Thread, and a reward shop stocked with everything from a free Identity to Extraction Tickets. If you want the free The Ring Fauvist Student Meursault Identity without spending Lunacy, this is your window. The event stages are Level 58 Focused Encounters, so make sure your squad is up to the challenge before jumping in.
What do you need to access Twining Threads?
Access has two tiers, according to the Limbus Company wiki. You only need to have completed Prologue: Selva Oscura to open the event page itself. To actually play the battle stages, you need to have finished Canto IX: The Unsevering. If you are still working through the main story, prioritize getting to Canto IX before the event closes on May 14.
The good news: even after the event period ends, the combat encounters and story will remain available through Drive and Theater under the Detour Tales section. The reward shop, however, closes May 21, 2026 at 10:00 KST, giving you a one-week buffer after the event itself ends to spend any banked Severed Thread.
danger
The Reward Exchange stays open until May 21, 2026 at 10:00 KST, not May 14. Do not spend everything the moment the event ends.
How do you earn Severed Thread fast?
Severed Thread is the event's primary currency, and the sources for it are broader than you might expect. Here is a breakdown based on the official wiki data:
- Event-exclusive stages and dungeons award Severed Thread per run, with a bonus for first-time clears.
- The final battle node of Intervallo VII: Twining Threads has a significantly better Enkephalin-to-Severed Thread conversion rate than other stages, making it the most efficient farming spot.
- Older Main Story stages and dungeons cleared for the first time during the event period also award Severed Thread proportional to their Enkephalin cost.
- Mirror Dungeon clears award 10 Severed Thread per floor on Normal difficulty and 20 per floor on Hard difficulty.
- The Twining Threads Theme Pack floor pack appears on Floor 5 of Mirror of the Dreaming Hard Difficulty during the event. Clearing it on Normal grants an additional 50 Severed Thread; clearing it on Hard grants an additional 100 Severed Thread.
- There is a 5% chance on any stage clear to drop a Severed and Scorched Skein, which converts automatically to 20 Severed Thread. This drop rate rises to 10% on the final Encounter of the event.

Team bonus: how much does it actually help?
Having event Identities in your loadout, even on the bench, boosts your Severed Thread earnings. The bonuses are additive and cap at 120%, so stacking multiple boosters is worth it.
If you pull The Ring Fauvist Docent Rodion from the extraction banner early in the event, you are already at 40% before adding any of the 20% contributors. Getting to the 120% cap requires the two 40% units plus two of the four 20% units, which is a realistic target for players who have been collecting Ring-affiliated Identities.
info
The earning boost applies to first-time clear rewards and Mirror Dungeon rewards, not just standard stage repeats. Prioritize first clears with your boosted team to maximize value.
What are the battle chapters and how hard are they?
The two confirmed battle chapters in Twining Threads are 9.5-3: Wayfarer and 9.5-6: Saru, as documented on the Limbus Company wiki. Both are Focused Encounters at Level 58 with a 20 Enkephalin entry cost. Each has an EX Objective requiring you to clear within 10 turns.
Both encounters currently share the same enemy composition in Wave 1:
- Impulsive Fauvist Student of the Ring
- Feral Fauvist Student of the Ring
warning
The wiki notes that these battle chapters are stubs, meaning additional wave data may be missing. Check the official Limbus Company wiki for updates as community documentation fills in.
How do you hit the 10-turn EX Objective?
Based on available information, both EX Objectives require clearing within 10 turns. Given the enemy types are Ring Fauvist Students, building around your highest-damage Identities and concentrating fire to take out one enemy per turn cluster is the practical approach. Having the event Identities in your team serves double duty: the Severed Thread bonus and the thematic synergy with Ring-faction enemies.
What is in the Twining Threads reward shop?
A total of 5,300 Severed Thread clears out the entire shop. Here is everything available, per the wiki:
The Meursault Identity at 1,000 Severed Thread is the obvious priority for most players. After that, the 20 Extraction Tickets at 20 Severed Thread each represent 400 Severed Thread total, and the Identity Training Ticket IV stack at 15 each can eat up a significant chunk if you are leveling multiple units.

New identities and extraction banner
The extraction banner for Twining Threads features The Ring Fauvist Docent Rodion as the primary pull target, alongside the Kira Announcer cosmetic. Rodion's banner is the main paid/gacha avenue for the event, while Meursault is the free reward locked behind Severed Thread farming.
The event's teaser quote sets the tone well: "Excess is easy. Anyone can do it. The hard part is... making it succinct, the art of abbreviation." That applies directly to how you should approach the reward shop. Figure out which rewards matter for your account, calculate the Severed Thread needed, and farm accordingly rather than grinding blindly.
