To clear the Seal of the Sword in AFK Arena's Voyage of Wonders, you must clear enemy camps sequentially to build up relics, activate colored switches in the correct order to lower stone barriers, and defeat the central boss camp to secure the Crystal Chest.
Team Setup and Battle Strategy
Hero health and energy carry over between battles in the Voyage of Wonders. Prioritize self-sustaining teams with reliable healing, shielding, and crowd control rather than pure burst damage.
- Support Engines: Deploy Rowan, Elijah & Lailah (Twins), or Tasi. Rowan provides steady health and energy potions, keeping your team ready to activate abilities early in consecutive fights.
- Frontline Anchors: Use resilient heroes like Lucius, Daimon, or Arthur to provide shields and soak up damage.
- Crowd Control Substitutes: If a core hero takes heavy damage, swap in control specialists like Arden, Fawkes, or Mehira to incapacitate high-threat enemy backlines.
Turn off auto-battle during the final seconds of each encounter. This preserves full energy gauges so your carries can cast their ultimate abilities immediately when the next battle starts. If a key hero dies early during an encounter, pause and restart the fight before defeat registers to avoid losing roster members.
Relic Priority
Enemy strength scales with your account's combat rating when you enter the event. Prioritize defensive, stat-draining, and energy-recovery relics over situational offense to maintain sustained survivability across all fights.
| Tier | Relics | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Top Priority | Icebringer, Firebringer, Sunstone, Moonstone | Drastically reduces enemy offensive stats while siphoning defense and accelerating energy gain. |
| High Priority | Energy restoration items, Deathly Bow, Pendant of Betrayal | Quickly eliminates high-health targets and enables rapid ultimate ability cycling. |
| Situational | Faction-specific stat boosts, crit amplifiers | Effective if your main carry matches the boosted faction, but secondary to team-wide sustain. |
Avoid relics that trigger only when hero health drops below low thresholds, as your goal is to stay near full health between encounters.
Route and Lever Progression
Follow this movement order to avoid trapping your team behind raised barriers:
- Clear the spawn perimeter: Defeat the weak entry camps directly east of your spawn point to accumulate your first relics and build full energy bars.
- Lower the outer barrier: Clear the perimeter guards and interact with the lower colored switch to lower the stone barriers blocking the western path.
- Collect perimeter chests: Advance along the newly opened path, defeat the adjacent camp, and pick up the wooden chests along the edges.
- Trigger the blue switch: Push through the northern corridor and activate the blue mechanism to lower the primary blue runic stones.
- Clear central camps: Sweep through the camps previously sealed by the blue stones and claim their relics before touching any further switches.
- Loot the lower-right sector: Collect all accessible standard chests in the lower-right quadrant before moving toward the next switch.
- Toggle the red mechanism: Head southeast and activate the red pedestal to lower the red barrier guarding the northern bridge.
- Clear the elite camps: Defeat the secondary elite camps flanking the main corridor to max out your relic buffs.
- Defeat the boss: Engage the final boss camp using manual targeting to interrupt the enemy carry immediately at the start of battle. Once defeated, open the Crystal Chest to finish the adventure.
