The Hero Sword is a powerful weapon that you can unlock in Megabonk, but the exact process is pretty complicated.
The game makes it amply clear that this weapon is there to be unlocked, but the official quest description is extremely vague. You’ll have to defeat a specific enemy without committing any forbidden action. However, there’s no description of what’s considered a forbidden action.
This guide will help you unlock the mighty weapon without any issues.
How to unlock the Hero Sword in Megabonk
To unlock the Hero Sword, you’ll have to defeat a Stage Boss successfully, but there are further restrictions. I have spoken about not committing what’s considered a forbidden action. In simpler words, you have to successfully end the boss battle without picking up any items or any types of power-ups.
You’ll come across such items during your run, but you can’t pick a single one. You also can’t use any shrines, which is another way to raise the odds of your run being successful. In short, you’ll have to complete an already-difficult task in a more painful fashion.
While items, power-ups, and shrines are banned, Gold and XP are considered. You’re safe to pick them up. To defeat the boss, you’ll have to use your base abilities and skills. This is quite a challenging task, as you’ll also have to be careful not to pick up any items or orbs. These drop when you defeat enemies (at random), and you can accidentally get one or more.
If you accidentally pick up an item, your quest to unlock the Hero Sword will be immediately over. In such cases, it’s better to restart your run. Here are a few tips and tricks that will enable you to beat the Stage Boss correctly and unlock the Hero Sword.
- Use a build that suits your playstyle.
- Stay alive as long as you can. Without power-ups, the key will be to survive for as long as possible.
- Use Gold and XP pickups.
- Learn and master the dodge ability to survive the enemies.
- Be careful about staying too close to an enemy, as you might accidentally pick up an item or two.
That’s pretty much all you have to do to unlock the Hero Sword inside the game.
