Description
Oath: Linkstrider is one of the 16 obtainable Oaths in Deepwoken. This Oath specializes entirely on support. Excels at controlling the battlefield by offering various buffs and granting heals to allies, while also inflicting debuffs and lifesteal for fighting enemies. Granted the power of this Oath is exceptional for fights in groups, having this Oath while alone will hardly give benefits, thus making it one of (if not) the worst Oath for solo players. Together with Oathless, Fadetrimmer, Dawnwalker, and Contractor, it is one of 5 Oaths that have no direct stat requirements.
“ The world is broken, linked by fragile webs. ”
― Entropy Link Description
The Oath is acquired after taking the lives of 4 players and conducting a ritual at the Entropy Catalyst, a mysterious ancient mechanism that allows the conductor to exist in two states at the same time. With the knowledge you acquire in this new state, you are able to morph the bonds that connect all souls.
Obtainment
- Entropy Catalyst Method:
- Knock 4 different players with Oaths.
- Take them to The Entropy Catalyst.
- Place them in the craters, sacrificing them.
- Since the Entropy Catalyst is a voidzone, they will be sent to the depths.
- Interact with the white orb that appears in the middle.
- Pristine Lotus Method:
- Collect 4 Pristine Lotuses located around The Entropy Catalyst.
- Grip 4 players with Oaths. Can be the same player.
- Return to The Entropy Catalyst with 4 Scarlet Lotuses.
- Interact with the white orb that appears in the middle.
Extra note: You can use a mix of both knocked players and Scarlet Lotus.
Linkstrider can be reobtained if you Oathbreak it.
Progression
The only way to obtain each ability is to grip players with an Oath. However, this does not always need to be done at The Entropy Catalyst. Entropy Link is acquired on the first grip, then in order, Symbiotic Link, Symbiotic Sustain, and Parasitic Leech. This totals to 8 total player grips: 4 to take the Oath, then 4 more to fully progress it. Alternatively, if the Oath has been fully progressed on another character before, 10 knowledge can be spent to fully progress it on the current character. To skip the progression for Linkstrider, interact with the slots where you place the people to max it out.
