Somni's Engine Badges
Badge hunting, not badge buying.
Somni’s Engine badges track specific accomplishments inside the experience. They are not cosmetic. Purple Hearted unlocks Shermie. Witness Eclipse proves you reached floor 30 and survived Project Eclipse. Beta Tester marks early players who were there when the Isle of Dreams opened.
There is no badge shop. There is no badge vendor. Anyone selling badge unlocks is running a scam. Read this page before you pay anyone anything.
The three confirmed badges
Purple Hearted
Awarded for defeating the wandering engine — the named boss that roams the Isle of Dreams. This is not a common spawn. The engine appears occasionally in zones and must be fought to earn the badge.
Purple Hearted is required to purchase Shermie from shopkeeper Somni. Without the badge, Shermie’s shop entry stays locked even if you have 4300 Prisms.
How to find and defeat the engine: see how to beat the engine. The short version: the engine is a rare spawn, it hits hard, and the Purple Hearted badge win rate sits around 0.9% of all attempts. Do not believe anyone who says they can unlock this badge without fighting.
Witness Eclipse
Awarded for reaching floor 30 and defeating Project Eclipse — the fusion of Manic Inkchor and Ether that spawns every 30 floors. Project Eclipse is Somni’s own Manic counterpart. Witness Eclipse does not unlock any shop Recruits. It is a proof-of Accomplishment badge. It does not gate content, only prestige.
How to fight Eclipse: see how to beat Eclipse. The short version: Project Eclipse has approximately 1000 HP plus 500 HP per extra player in the squad, armor 10, and a beam attack. Your squad needs a plan before floor 30.
Beta Tester
Awarded for playing during the early access period. The exact criteria Somni Foundation used to grant this badge: being present when the experience launched on 20 August 2026. If you were in the first waves of players, you received this badge automatically. The description reads “So our story begins.” — a reference to the opening line of Somni’s Engine’s narrative.
Badge seller warnings
Every badge in Somni’s Engine is earned through gameplay:
- Purple Hearted → defeat the wandering engine
- Witness Eclipse → defeat Project Eclipse on floor 30
- Beta Tester → played during the launch window No third-party service can unlock these badges. Anyone claiming to sell badge unlocks wants your account credentials or is running a straightforward scam. Do not provide passwords, cookies, or billing information to anyone offering badge services.
Why badges matter
Badges in Somni’s Engine are gatekeepers and trophies, not filler:
- Purple Hearted is a hard gate on Shermie. You cannot buy the tank Recruit without it.
- Witness Eclipse is a squad achievement marker. It says your table pushed to floor 30.
- Beta Tester is a participation marker. It says you were here early.
Badge tracking
