Unlocking the Hero Sword in Megabonk requires precision—many players struggle with its ambiguous requirements. This guide clarifies the exact steps to conquer the challenge.
Hero Sword Unlock Requirements

 - Avoid chaotic enemies that drop orbs in tight spaces
 - Focus on dodging mechanics and positioning during boss fights
 - Collect gold/XP carefully to avoid accidental orb pickups
