AOTR Prestige Guide

Updated 2026-11-06

Prestige is a reset that buys permissions. The permissions are not written once.

People ask for a level. I am not going to publish one. The public pages describe what prestige does to your unlocks, and they do not give a single safe moment that I can repeat without pretending I watched a run. What I can repeat is the conflict that actually changes a trade.

Serum trading is written as Prestige 2 inside one cell of the trading table. The prestige article, the update record, and the Colossal Serum article say Prestige 3. Serum Bag's capacity also scales with prestige, so the gamepass and the reset are one decision. If you buy the bag and reset early, you still live inside that conflict.

Perks and artifacts are the other split. The trading table's older wording puts them at Prestige 1. The prestige article says Prestige 2. Families are in a third conversation because spin luck, not the reset, creates Helos or Fritz. Prestige does not reroll your family. It changes what you are allowed to hand to someone else.

Trello's prestige overview is the place that lists what you keep. I would read that card before a reset and I would ignore any guide that promises a damage percent for Prestige 5. That percent is not in the notes I saved. Codes are a side door: the wiki says level 25 or Prestige 1 can redeem, and GamesRadar+ says UPDATE5 wants Prestige 1. That is a code rule, not a reason to reset a fresh save.
