Absolum: No Corrupt Biomes Code (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: It works even with the option not unlocked!
How to fix it
- Open the Mystic menu – From the main game screen, access the Mystic interface where you normally manage Ordeals.
- Scroll to the bottom of the list – The list of Ordeals is displayed in order; move all the way down until you reach the last entry.
- Select “Customize Ordeal” – Choose the option that lets you edit an Ordeal’s settings.
- Enter the code
f5a– In the text field that appears, type the exact charactersf5aand confirm. - Confirm the change – After entering the code, exit the menu and return to the game. The corrupt biome frequency should now be disabled, even if you have not unlocked the official option at the Soul Tree.
The steps above work on all platforms, including the Nintendo Switch.
If it still doesn't work
- Double‑check that you typed the code exactly as
f5a(no extra spaces or characters). - Make sure you are at the very bottom of the Ordeal list; the “Customize Ordeal” option must be the last entry.
- Verify that you have actually exited the Mystic menu and re‑entered the game world; sometimes the change only takes effect after reloading the area.
- If the problem persists, consider completing the required four Ordeals and purchasing the official corrupt biome control option from the Soul Tree, as the workaround may not apply in all situations.
What players reported
Go to Mystic. Bottom of the list. Customize Ordeal. Type in: f5a I don't know if this works if the player hasn't unlocked the options. Let me know if it does, if it doesn't then welp. Sorry I tried. To unlock the option to control Corrupt Biome frequency you have to complete 4 Ordeals and pay for the option with crystal at the Soul Tree. The easiest I completed were Sacrifice, Ritualist, and…

It works even with the option not unlocked! You are a hero!
Awesome. So it's a workaround for now.
Thanks a lot for this. It works on Switch as well.
