MegaBonk Corrupted Sword Unlock Guide
The Corrupted Sword is one of the harder weapons to unlock in MegaBonk, and the requirement trips up a lot of players. Unlike other weapons that come through steady progression, this one forces you to rush upgrades fast. Here’s exactly how to unlock it.
How to Unlock the Corrupted Sword
To unlock the Corrupted Sword, you must get Cursed Tome to Level 20 in under 10 minutes.
This is best done in Hyper Challenge mode for the double XP bonus. Without Hyper, hitting level 20 that quickly is nearly impossible.
Best Setup for Unlocking
Character: Tony McZoom is the most consistent pick. His kit works well with projectile scaling and weapon synergy.
Secondary Weapon: Aegis is a safe choice, even at low levels, to help survive the early minutes.
Tome Priority:
XP Tome – Rush this to stack levels faster.
Damage Tome – Keeps Cursed Tome viable against early mobs.
Quantity Tome – More projectiles means faster clears, which means more XP.
Items: Moldy Cheese and Moldy Gloves are extremely strong with Hyper runs, as their poison effect deletes mobs quickly.
Tips for the Unlock
Farm aggressively. You don’t have the luxury to wander — push for XP orbs and magnets as much as possible.
Use Shrines. Charge Shrines give a vital tempo boost for tomes. Greed Shrines are worth the gamble if you can keep dodging.
Avoid distractions. Focus every upgrade choice on XP gain, Cursed Tome, or clear speed. Anything else slows you down.
Know the timer. If you aren’t hitting level 10 Cursed Tome by the 5-minute mark, the run is basically over. Reset and try again.
Final Blurb
The Corrupted Sword takes discipline to unlock. Hyper Challenge with Tony McZoom, XP Tome rush, and strong AoE items are the keys to success. If you get a lucky magnet or a few Moldy Cheese stacks, you’ll cruise to the requirement. Miss the 10-minute pacing, and you’ll need to reset.
It’s a grindy unlock, but worth it once you finally pull it off.
