Brave Soulforged, King Arthur has called in reinforcements! The latest content update for SWORN has landed, bringing a fresh wave of challenge, power, and polish to the dark, Arthurian co-op rogue-like. Prepare to face three new corrupted Knights of the Round Table and dominate the battlefield with significant weapon and blessing tweaks.
Here is your essential guide to what’s new in the fight to reclaim Camelot!
Arthur’s New Corrupted Knights: Three Alternate Bosses
The biggest addition to this patch is the introduction of three new alternate Bosses. If you’ve been carving your way through the greater difficulties, prepare for an unexpected twist! These foes can now appear at the end of a Biome instead of the usual boss when playing on Knight difficulty or higher.
| New Boss | Title & Key Challenge |
| Lady Kay | Wall of Camelot. Wields a gigantic shield. You must find a way to power through her formidable defenses. |
| Sir Dagonet | Grasp of The Mire. A gluttonous knight who revels in traps and poison, dragging Soulforged and rendering them immobile with his devastating hook. |
| Lady Agravain | Scourge of Ships. Driven mad, this terrifying adversary dashes around her nest with breakneck speed. You’ll need to read her movements to survive her flurry of feathers and steel. |
These new encounters drastically increase the variety and unpredictability of each run, ensuring even the most seasoned players will need to adapt their strategies.
Combat Domination: Weapons & Blessings Tweaks
The developers have listened to player feedback and delivered some potent adjustments to the combat system, focusing on increasing build diversity and player power at the high end.
- Attack Speed Cap Increased: The Bonus Attack Speed internal maximum has been increased from 50% to a massive 100%. This means the total attack speed cap is now 2x your base, up from 1.5x, opening the door for even faster, more frenetic builds!
- Quality of Life for the Tome: The Tome’s Augment ‘Book Mark’ now has a Perfect Shot indicator, rewarding precise timing.
- Bug Fixes and Balance: Several blessings and weapon augments that were granting unintended amounts of attack speed (like Oberon’s Flow and the Gauntlets’ ‘Flying Fists’) have been corrected to ensure fair, yet powerful, gameplay.
The Potion Station: New Run-to-Run Mechanic
The fight for Camelot just got a little more strategic! The previous major update introduced a New Potion System, which is worth highlighting for new and returning players:
- Custom Flasks: Before each run, you can now speak to Guinevere to choose a powerful flask that offers an additional edge in combat.
- Fae Lord Shrines: Find special Fae Lord shrines during your run to unlock their unique flask, which guarantees a blessing from that specific Fae Lord. This allows for a deeper level of build planning and consistency.
More Polish, More Power
Beyond the major features, this update includes numerous general quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes:
- Updated VFX for the Greathammer and various event rooms.
- Stability and performance improvements, especially for lower-end machines.
- Tweaks to major enemy behaviour, like the Deep Harbour Wave Thrower and Major Suncaster, make their encounters more challenging and consistent with other Major Foes.
This update is a clear signal that the fight against the corrupted King Arthur is far from over. Grab your allies, choose your oaths, and dive back into a revitalised and even more challenging Camelot!
