Revealing the Secrets of the Cursed Sword & Sir Chadwell

Select Language:

There are many tough challenges in the new indie game Megabonk, and unfortunately, you can’t get some of the best weapons and items unless you complete these tasks. One challenge in particular is very difficult but necessary if you want to unlock the Corrupted Sword, which is one of the strongest weapons in the game.

The Corrupted Sword starts as the weapon for Sir Chadwell, a character you can unlock only after obtaining the sword first. To get it, you need to follow a few steps: first, unlock the Cursed Tome. Then, you must level up this Cursed Tome to level 20 in a very short time. Achieving this quickly is key to unlocking the challenge for the Corrupted Sword.

How to Get the Cursed Tome to Level 20 in Megabonk

Use Monke for Maximum Mobility

There are two main steps to unlock the Corrupted Sword. First, you need to defeat one of Megabonk’s stage bosses in under five minutes to unlock the Cursed Tome. This might take a few attempts but isn’t too hard.

The more challenging part is to level up the Cursed Tome to level 20 in less than 10 minutes. This requires good planning and setup.

This strategy is based on tips from a YouTube player, FalsePrelate. Using the character Monke makes this much easier because Monke can move quickly, climb walls, and the Bananarang is a great weapon for fast leveling.

To prepare, turn off all weapon and tome upgrades except for Aura, the Cursed Tome, and the XP Tome. Refund all other upgrades in the ship so you only have two slots for weapons and tomes.

Start on Desert Stage 1 and activate the “Hyper” challenge to double your XP gain. Collect your Aura, Cursed Tome, and XP Tome as soon as the run begins. If you don’t get the Cursed Tome quickly, consider restarting, since time is limited.

During the early levels after getting the main items, upgrade your Aura and Bananarang before the tomes, so you deal enough damage. Always take any Cursed Tome upgrade you find, especially XP, to help level up faster.

Tip: If things get tough, avoid Rare and Epic Cursed Tome upgrades, as they make the challenge more difficult.

Balancing leveling up the XP and Cursed Tome, along with the double XP from the Hyper challenge, helps you reach level 20 in under 10 minutes with the limited options available.

How to Get the Corrupted Sword & What It Does

After leveling the Cursed Tome to level 20 in under 10 minutes, you can buy the Corrupted Sword for 37 Silver in the Unlocks menu.

This sword is one of the best weapons in the game. It functions like a normal sword but hits both in front of and behind you. Plus, it deals more damage the lower your health. That makes it perfect for characters like Sir Chadwell or Athena. It also benefits from the Size, Damage, Cooldown, and Quantity Tomes.

Unlocking the Corrupted Sword also allows you to access Sir Chadwell, but you’ll need to complete Forest Tier 3 first, which can be quite challenging.

Getting the Corrupted Sword is tough if you’re unprepared, so make sure you set yourself up well in Megabonk to succeed.
