How to unlock reborn

[Toad, Man of Sage]

I see that the developer has mentioned get reborn 8/8 to unlock. How is this done?

By simply playing the game, you get unlock XP. You can see that on the left side of the "game over" panel. Every unlock, you'll unlock more content (items, heroes, etc..) and new challenges.

You unlock Reborn at the last unlock 8/8.

This is for 2 reasons:
1. Reborn adds a lot of complexity to the game so it's better for Reborn to be unlocked later on when the player is already very comfortable with the base game.
2. Reborn requires Surge (unlock #7/8) to work.

You need to unlock Reborn first, it's unlocked at 8/8 as explained above.
Then you Reborn from the campfire. It can be done starting from Act 2.

Hero cards have a the reborn button, so you can check Reborn from the codex -> Heroes

I may have been unclear. The mechanic for reborn doesn't have a page like the 4 debuffs do. Is there a plan to put a page down for the mechanic?

Well not really no. Maybe more info could be added on the Reborn Panel itself. But what exactly, is missing as information about Reborn that you feel would need to be in the Guide Panel?

A first time user or returning user may have multiple issues(clicking through to quickly, forgetting what it is, etc). My own experience was reading it and then thinking I understood but I did not. When I wanted the info panel again I could not find it and was lead to the forums here.

Reborn:
-What it is: Changing of heroes and where to find the information for each hero
-Limitations: Once a run. Only Camp fires. Act 2+. Cost. Unlocking.
-Relics: I believe there is one that makes it so you can reborn in act 1.

Also, I believe you said that the mechanic is game changing enough to lock behind level 8 unlocks and this would lead me to believe it would warrant a place in the Guide Book. Surge didn't get it's own page but I do see it in the Glossary. Would this be a more appropriate place for such information?

(As text doesn't covey tone this is all feed back in what I want to be a positive manner as I quite enjoy your amazing game. Thank you for creating such a joy in my life!)

Imagine if all the game was included in the guide book, what the guide book would look like.

Shop. Can buy heroes for random value between 65 and 95 gold. Rares : X to Y gold, legenary Z to A gold, heirloom B to C gold.

Campfire, same thing. tons of stuff to explain

Reward Rerolls, same thing. tons of stuff to explain

Passive Swaps, same thing. tons of stuff to explain

Relics Swaps, same thing. tons of stuff to explain

And so on, and so on... the guide book would be terrible to navigate through if everything was in there. Why not instead just give you the information when you need it. In this case, when you are at the campfire (you can see the Reborn Button, if you are in Act 1, it says "Reborn unlocks after beating the Act 1 boss") Then inside of the Reborn panel it explains what Reborn is and its cost.
