If you’ve been wandering through Deepwoken as a Pathfinder wondering when you’ll finally unlock that game-changing power everyone talks about, you’re in exactly the right place! I’ve spent countless hours mastering every Oath in this brutal Roblox RPG, and I’m about to share everything you need to know about these life-defining vows that separate casual players from true legends.

Oaths aren’t just another talent card in Deepwoken—they’re the ultimate expression of your character’s beliefs, granting unique abilities that completely transform your playstyle. Whether you want to become an armored juggernaut as an Arcwarder, manipulate reality as a Visionshaper, or serve the sinister Lord Regent as a Contractor, your Oath choice will define your entire journey through this unforgiving world.

In this comprehensive guide, I’ll break down all 17 currently obtainable Oaths, reveal insider secrets about the two upcoming Oaths (Warmaster and Chef), explain the progression system, and warn you about the consequences of becoming an Oathbreaker. By the end, you’ll know exactly which Oath matches your playstyle and how to obtain it without wasting precious time.

What Are Oaths in Deepwoken?

Oaths are powerful viewpoints and beliefs that your character vows to live by until the day they fall. Unlike regular Deepwoken talents that occupy talent slots, Oaths are classified as unique Talent Cards that don’t take up normal slots—similar to Murmurs and Resonances in the game’s progression system.

Here’s what makes Oaths so special:

One at a Time: You can only wield one Oath at once, making your choice incredibly important
Progressive Abilities: Each Oath provides a progressable set of abilities that unlock as you complete specific requirements
Story Integration: Your Oath defines your character’s personality, potential, and story path
Oath Damage: A unique damage type that’s only resisted by Oathless status or universal defenses like Reinforce and To the Finish
No Talent Slot Cost: Oaths don’t consume your precious talent slots, giving you maximum build flexibility

Every player begins as a Pathfinder—someone without an Oath but not devoted to being Oathless. While being a Pathfinder offers no real advantages, it can protect you from players who need Oath Kills for progression (like Linkstriders or Contractors), though you shouldn’t rely on this protection.

Complete List of All 17 Obtainable Deepwoken Oaths

Let me break down every single Oath currently available in Deepwoken with their exact requirements, benefits, and what makes each one unique. I’ve organized them from easiest to hardest to obtain based on stat requirements.

Oaths With No Stat Requirements

1. Oathless (No Requirements)

What It Does: Grants 3 extra Wildcard Mantra slots, 10 Health, and 20% Oath armor resistance
How to Get It: Travel to Miner’s Landing docks, find Cerulean through a log entrance in a cave, then speak with three disciples: Viridian at Fort Merit, Saffron at Meteor Isle, and Celadon at Summer Isle
Best For: PvP players who want maximum Oath resistance and flexibility
Can Be Reobtained: Yes

This is the paradoxical Oath that’s technically an Oath despite being called “Oathless.” I use this on my PvP builds because that 20% Oath armor makes you surprisingly tanky against other Oath users. The three extra Wildcard slots give you incredible build flexibility too.

2. Contractor (No Requirements)

What It Does: Manipulate Puppet Strings of Zi’eer with gap closers, counters, and ranged grabs
How to Get It: Complete Lord Regent’s quest by choosing “No, I came to join you” dialogue option
Progression: Grip 3 players with Oaths in Depths Layer 1 to unlock all abilities
Best For: Aggressive PvP players who love combo-heavy playstyles
Can Be Reobtained: No (Lord Regent kills you on sight after breaking it)

Contractor is my go-to recommendation for players who love offensive playstyles. The Hidden Tendril abilities let you control the battlefield, and Judgement is one of the most satisfying execution moves in the game. Just know that breaking this Oath permanently locks you out—you become maximum negative reputation with Etrea and The Ministry.

3. Linkstrider (No Requirements)

What It Does: Grants cyan eyes and abilities related to dimensional manipulation
How to Get It: Use the Linkstrider machine
Progression: Kill players with Oaths to unlock abilities
Best For: Players who enjoy unique mobility and dimensional mechanics
Can Be Reobtained: Yes

Level-Based Oaths

4. Fadetrimmer (Level 12 Required)

What It Does: Reality-bending abilities with your scissors
How to Get It: Reach Level 12 and complete the Fadetrimmer quest
Best For: Creative players who want unconventional mechanics
Can Be Reobtained: Yes

If you’re looking for something different from standard combat Oaths, Fadetrimmer delivers. The scissors mechanic is weird at first, but once you master it, you can pull off moves that leave opponents confused about what just happened.

5. Dawnwalker (Level 15 Required)

What It Does: Grants white eyes and light-based abilities
How to Get It: Reach Level 15, find Klaris Llfiend at Mother of Lights, pay 30 Kyrsan Medallions
Best For: Players who want supportive light-themed abilities
Can Be Reobtained: Yes (but costs 60 Medallions the second time as penalty)

Single Stat Requirement Oaths

6. Blindseer (40 Willpower + All 3 Mental Fortress Talents)

What It Does: See the world differently with enhanced perception abilities
How to Get It: 40 Willpower, all 3 Mental Fortress talents, interact with wall glyphs
Best For: Intelligence-based builds focused on awareness and prediction
Can Be Reobtained: Yes

Blindseer is perfect if you’re running a Willpower-heavy build anyway. The Mental Fortress requirement means you need to complete Bravery, Compassion, and Curiosity quests, which takes time but rewards patient players with one of the most unique Oaths in the game.

7. Starkindred (40 Strength)

What It Does: Harness the power of the Stars
How to Get It: 40 Strength, complete Samael’s quest
Best For: Heavy strength builds focused on raw power
Can Be Reobtained: No (Samael rejects you permanently after breaking it)

8. Jetstriker (50 Agility)

What It Does: Grants silver eyes and flow with the Song’s rhythm
How to Get It: 50 Agility, become rivals with Alirian
Best For: Speed-based builds that love mobility
Can Be Reobtained: Yes (Alirian will forgive you and let you re-oath)

Jetstriker is hands-down the most fun Oath for players who love fast-paced combat. The mobility options make you feel like you’re dancing through fights, and Alirian is one of the coolest NPCs in the game. Plus, if you break it, he’s chill about letting you come back.

9. Visionshaper (50 Charisma)

What It Does: Grants bright magenta eyes and owl-themed abilities from The Nestmind
How to Get It: 50 Charisma, complete the Nestmind’s hunt
Progression: Complete specific hunt objectives
Best For: Charisma builds who want unique vision-based powers
Can Be Reobtained: Yes (requires Dark Feathers again)

10. Soulbreaker (50 Combined Willpower or Charisma)

What It Does: Break souls and manipulate spirit energy
How to Get It: 50 combined Willpower/Charisma, wish with Yun’Shul
Best For: Hybrid mental stat builds
Can Be Reobtained: Yes

Weapon-Based Oaths

11. Silentheart (75 Weapon + 25 Strength + 25 Agility or Charisma combined)

What It Does: Gives darker, duller eye color and powers from The Dreadstar
How to Get It: Meet stat requirements, survive the Beloved Zofia ghost encounter, face The Dreadstar
Best For: Weapon-focused builds that want stealth and assassination abilities
Can Be Reobtained: No (The Dreadstar won’t appear again)

This is arguably the edgiest Oath in Deepwoken, and I mean that in the best way. The requirements are steep, but if you’re already building a weapon specialist, Silentheart’s abilities complement that playstyle perfectly. The ghost encounter is genuinely creepy too.

12. Bladeharper (75 Medium Weapon or 90 Combined Weapon + 25 Strength or Agility)

What It Does: Transform into a living blade with enhanced weapon abilities
How to Get It: Meet weapon stat requirements, complete “The Blade Within” quest
Best For: Dedicated weapon builds focusing on sword mastery
Can Be Reobtained: Yes

Intelligence-Based Oath

13. Saltchemist (75 Intelligence)

What It Does: Master alchemical abilities with Panacea effects
How to Get It: 75 Intelligence, complete Saltchemist quest
Best For: Intelligence builds focused on DoT and utility
Can Be Reobtained: Yes

If you love tactical RPG gameplay with planning and strategy, Saltchemist is your Oath. The alchemy system rewards players who think ahead and prepare for encounters rather than rushing in blindly.

Multi-Stat Requirement Oaths

14. Arcwarder (20 Flamecharm + 20 Thundercall + 20 Fortitude)

What It Does: Encase yourself in Arc Suit armor for incredible defense and combat power
How to Get It: Meet stat requirements, complete Alpha’s quest at The Ignition Union
Best For: Tank builds who want to be nearly unkillable
Can Be Reobtained: No (You lose Ignition Union reputation permanently)

Arcwarder is widely considered the best Oath in Deepwoken for good reason. The Arc Suit makes you an absolute unit in combat, and the abilities synergize perfectly with elemental builds. The stat investment is high, but worth every point for players who want to feel invincible.

15. Chainwarden (40 Combined Strength, Fortitude, or Willpower)

What It Does: Wield chains with grappling and crowd control abilities
How to Get It: Meet combined stat requirements, complete Vice Warden Morredh’s test
Best For: Bruiser builds who want CC and tankiness
Can Be Reobtained: No (Vice Warden calls you pathetic and refuses)

16. Blightsurger (80 Combined Strength, Fortitude, or Agility + 40 Willpower or Thundercall)

What It Does: Embrace blight corruption for devastating power
How to Get It: Meet stat requirements, embrace the blight
Best For: Hybrid builds willing to trade health for power
Can Be Reobtained: No

17. Saintsworn (15 Each: Flamecharm, Galebreathe, Shadowcast, Frostdraw, Thundercall)

What It Does: Channel the Five Heroes’ souls, summon the Saintsblade (28 damage, 10% penetration)
How to Get It: 15 points in all five base attunements, interact with all five obelisks (Thundercall at Boatman’s Watch, Galebreathe at Garden Reservoir, Flamecharm at Saramaed Summit, Frostdraw at Crypt of the Unbroken, Shadowcast at Moon’s Eyrie)
Progression: Complete 3 World Events (Doom of Caeranthil or Interluminary Parasol)
Best For: Multi-attunement builds who want versatility
Can Be Reobtained: No

Saintsworn is the ultimate flex Oath. If you can meet the requirements for all five attunements, you’re already a veteran player. The Saintsblade is incredibly powerful, and channeling the Five Heroes feels epic. This is endgame content for dedicated players only.

Upcoming Oaths: What We Know About Warmaster and Chef?

The Deepwoken community is buzzing about two confirmed upcoming Oaths that will expand player options even further:

Warmaster Oath

Expected Theme: Counter-Oath to Contractor, aligned with The Circle of Honor
Known Users: Warden Jericho (confirmed by developer Ragoozer)
Lore Connection: Opposes Zi’eer and the Ministry, aims to stop the second Great Drowning
Power Source: The Circle of Honor (relationship to The Authority unknown)

Based on the Journal of Jericho and Windrunner dialogue, Warmaster will likely function as the “good guy” counterpart to Contractor’s villain role. I’m expecting abilities focused on justice, honor, and protecting others—maybe some anti-Contractor mechanics specifically designed to counter their puppet strings.

Chef Oath

Expected Theme: Cooking-based mechanics
Known Details: Literally nothing beyond the name
Community Speculation: Possibly tied to food buffs, restaurant management, or culinary combat

Chef Oath is the wild card here. The developers haven’t revealed anything beyond confirming it exists. My personal theory? It’ll revolutionize the food system in Deepwoken, potentially offering team-wide buffs or unique crafting mechanics. Think of it as the support-class Oath for players who want to help their teams through preparation rather than direct combat.

For players who enjoy support roles in RPGs, Chef might become the perfect Oath when it releases.

Oath Skipping: Save Time on Your Alt Characters

Here’s a pro tip that most players don’t know about: if you’ve fully progressed an Oath on one character, you can skip that progression on future characters across all your slots!

How Oath Skipping Works:

Max out any Oath on at least one character
On a new character, meet that Oath’s requirements again
Talk to the relevant Oath NPC
Spend 10 Knowledge to instantly unlock all abilities

Important Notes:

You still need to meet the stat requirements
Currently works for most Oaths EXCEPT: Chainwarden, Bladeharper, Blightsurger, and Soulbreaker (will be added in future updates)
For Blindseer and Linkstrider, use the wall glyphs and Linkstrider machine respectively
No confirmation dialogue—entering dialogue instantly consumes your Knowledge!

This feature is a godsend for players like me who love experimenting with multiple builds. Instead of grinding through Oath progression multiple times, you can jump straight into the fun parts on your alts.

Oathbreaker System: Breaking Your Oath (And the Consequences)

Sometimes you’ll want to change Oaths—maybe you picked wrong, or you want to try something new. Breaking your Oath is possible through the Shrine of Yun’Shul, but “it’s called an Oath for a reason.” The consequences vary dramatically depending on which Oath you break.

Oaths That CANNOT Be Reobtained After Breaking

Arcwarder

Lose Ignition Union reputation significantly
Delta will insult you: “You’ve got some nerve showin’ your face to me after trashing an Arc Suit like that.”
Breaking message: “Your connection to the Arc Suit withers, cut off at the stem. An expensive choice to make.”

Contractor

Instantly become maximum negative reputation (villain) with Etrea and The Ministry
Lord Regent will immediately kill you on sight in his courtroom
Zi’eer’s message: “Don’t bother showing your face again. I had little faith in you to begin with.”
You regain access to Castle Light
This is the harshest Oathbreaker consequence in the game

Chainwarden

Vice Warden Morredh insults you: “Another deserter? You’re pathetic.”
Permanently locked out of reobtaining

Silentheart

Attunement Trainers respawn afterward
The Dreadstar won’t appear if you try again
Breaking message: “This matters not. Your heart has already been claimed.”

Starkindred

Samael permanently rejects you: “The Stars were never yours to lay claim to. You’re just another heretic rejected by the blood.”
Further interaction: “Insolent worm. Leave.”

Saintsworn

Cannot be reobtained (needs more testing on specific consequences)
Likely involves all five attunement obelisks rejecting you

Blightsurger

Cannot be reobtained after breaking

Oaths That CAN Be Reobtained

Oathless

Cerulean welcomes you back: “The way opens more to you, my disciple. Safe travels.”
Simple dialogue option: “I’d like to become Oathless once more”
No penalties

Bladeharper

Breaking message: “Was this not the future we sought? Perhaps not.”
Can reobtain without issues

Blindseer

Breaking message: “The world grows darker once more. The night rolls in, and so do its terrors.”
Can reobtain without issues

Dawnwalker

Klaris will test your commitment: “It seems you lack commitment. Not everyone can be a beacon. Some are fated to retreat into the dark.”
Can reobtain but costs 60 Medallions instead of 30 (ouch!)
Klaris’s greeting after breaking: “Ah, the flake is back again. What do you want?”

Fadetrimmer

Breaking message: “Whatever, man.” (Most casual Oathbreaker message ever)
Can reobtain easily

Jetstriker

Alirian shows disappointment: “Huh. And here I thought I’d found a true rival. I had fun while it lasted, friend.”
Reobtaining involves apologizing: “Please forgive me.”
Alirian accepts: “Hmm. Okay, sure. You’ll still make a good rival. Want to strike up an Oath again?”
One of the friendliest Oathbreaker experiences

Linkstrider

Breaking message: “Like two halves of an image coming together, you once more feel like at home in this reality. Your view of greater dimensions has retreated away into the horizon.”
Can reobtain without issues

Saltchemist

Breaking message: “Your body feels still. Inert. The Panacea’s effects have worn off.”
Can reobtain without issues

Soulbreaker

Dramatic breaking: “Something awful holds your mind in its grip. ‘THEN IT IS SO, YOU SHALL FORGET THE PROMISE YOU MADE, A NEW PATH OPENING IN ITS PLACE.’ The sensation departs you. Your mind is quiet once more.“
Can reobtain

Visionshaper

Nestmind releases you: “Our end of the deal has already been struck. You’re welcome to seek out whichever path pleases you. Just know that you have not won your freedom, mouse.”
Surge requires you prove yourself again
Need Dark Feathers again to reobtain

My personal recommendation? If you’re unsure about an Oath, avoid the ones that can’t be reobtained until you’re absolutely certain. I learned this the hard way when I broke Arcwarder early in my playthrough and regretted it for weeks.

Lore Oaths: Time Magic and the Void

Beyond the upcoming Warmaster and Chef, there’s one more Oath mentioned in-game lore that deserves attention:

Time Magic / Void Oath

Mentioned By: The Knives of Eylis and Arch_Mage
Abilities: Manipulating time perception (slowing time)
Connection: Likely related to Voidwalkers and the Voidsea
Theory: Not true “time magic” but rather Voidsea manipulation that includes time distortion

When you ask Eylis about her Oath as a Voidwalker, she hints at abilities beyond normal comprehension. The community suspects this “Void Oath” would grant powers similar to what the Knives of Eylis display—reality manipulation that appears to affect time but is actually Voidsea-based.

If this Oath ever becomes obtainable, it’ll probably be endgame content with insane requirements. The lore implications suggest it might require exploring deep Voidsea locations or completing Voidwalker questlines.

Choosing Your First Oath: My Recommendations

If you’re a new player, I recommend:

Oathless – No stat requirements, gives you time to learn the game while having Oath protection
Jetstriker – Fun, forgiving, can be reobtained if you change your mind
Fadetrimmer – Only Level 12 required, unique playstyle, easy to get

If you’re building for PvP, consider:

Arcwarder – Best defensive Oath, but can’t be reobtained
Contractor – Amazing offensive tools, but harshest Oathbreaker consequences
Oathless – Oath resistance is underrated in PvP

If you’re a completionist, go for:

Saintsworn – Shows mastery of all attunements
Visionshaper – Complex quest chain with interesting lore
Silentheart – Challenging progression that proves your dedication

Similar to choosing your character in other complex RPGs, your first Oath should match your intended playstyle while being forgiving of mistakes.

Pro Tips for Oath Progression

After maxing out multiple Oaths across different characters, here are my insider tips:

Before Choosing an Oath:

Carefully read all consequences for breaking it
Research the full ability progression online
Make sure your build actually synergizes with the Oath’s abilities
Test the stat investment on a throwaway character first

During Oath Progression:

Screenshot or write down your progression requirements
Join the official Deepwoken Discord for quest help
Watch video guides for complex Oath quests (especially Visionshaper and Saintsworn)
Don’t rush—some Oath quests require specific timing or conditions

After Obtaining Your Oath:

Experiment with all abilities in safe areas first
Learn the cooldowns and resource costs
Practice combos in non-permadeath situations
Check if vibrant gems can modify your Oath mantras

General Wisdom:

Oath mantras cannot be leveled beyond level 1 (unlike regular mantras)
Some Oaths change your eye color (aesthetic bonus!)
Oath damage bypasses most resistances except Oathless
You can collect all Oaths on one character using Shrine of Order and Yun’Shul wishes (confirmed by Content Creator Always_Afk in March 2026)

Advanced Oath Mechanics and Hidden Features

Let me share some advanced knowledge that even veteran players might not know:

Oath Damage Mechanics:

Only resisted by Oathless Oath’s 20% Oath Armor
Bypassed by general defense modifiers (Reinforce, To the Finish)
Some Oath abilities deal multiple damage types simultaneously
If you have higher Physical resistance than Oath resistance, the game uses Physical for damage calculation

Oath Shards System:

Used in Battle Royale mode to obtain Oaths
Takes 3 shards to get the Oath, 1 shard for each subsequent talent
Not relevant to main game progression

Knowledge Skipping:

Always costs 10 Knowledge regardless of Oath
No confirmation—be careful not to accidentally consume Knowledge!
Can still be used even if Oath is already fully progressed (wastes Knowledge)

Pathfinder vs. Oathless:

Common misconception: They are NOT mutually exclusive
Pathfinder = without an Oath for gameplay purposes
You can have Oathless Oath and still be considered a Pathfinder in some contexts
“Person without an Oath” wouldn’t fit on Wanted Posters (probably why they used Pathfinder)

Oath Talent Categories:

Every Oath has a Talent category
All have associated Mystic lines (even if unused)
Works like Rare and Innate Talents in terms of game structure

Eye Color Changes:

Linkstrider: Cyan eyes
Visionshaper: Bright Magenta eyes
Jetstriker: Silver eyes
Dawnwalker: White eyes
Contractor: Dark Maroon eyes
Silentheart: Darker, duller shade of current eye color

These eye color changes are purely cosmetic but add cool flavor to your character’s appearance.

Community Resources and Where to Get Help

The Deepwoken community is surprisingly helpful despite the game’s brutal difficulty. Here are the best resources:

Official Resources:

Common Oath Mistakes to Avoid

Learn from my (painful) mistakes:

Don’t Rush Your Choice:
I picked Starkindred on my first character because the star theme sounded cool, only to realize it didn’t synergize with my build at all. Since you can’t reobtain it after breaking, I wasted hours of progression.

Don’t Ignore Stat Requirements:
Planning your stat distribution before committing to an Oath saves massive headaches. I’ve seen countless players realize they’re 10 points short in the wrong stat after already investing heavily elsewhere.

Don’t Break Permanent Oaths Carelessly:
Breaking Arcwarder, Contractor, or Silentheart is permanent. Make absolutely certain you want to change before visiting Yun’Shul. No refunds in Deepwoken!

Don’t Skip Research:
Some Oath quests have hidden requirements or timing windows. The Visionshaper hunt, for example, requires specific Dark Feathers that you might waste if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Don’t Forget About Oath Skipping:
If you’ve maxed an Oath once, you can skip progression with 10 Knowledge. So many players waste time grinding progression again when they could instant-unlock!

Future Oath Predictions and Updates

Based on developer patterns and community speculation, here’s what I predict for Oath updates in 2026:

Warmaster Release:

Likely tied to a major content update
Will probably require high Strength and Fortitude
Expect Justice/Honor-themed abilities
May include anti-Contractor mechanics
Could involve The Authority faction

Chef Release:

Completely unique mechanics not seen in other Oaths
Possibly tied to cooking stations and restaurants
Team buff potential (making it the first true support Oath)
Could revolutionize the food/hunger system

Quality of Life Updates:

More Oaths getting Knowledge skip functionality (Chainwarden, Bladeharper, Blightsurger, Soulbreaker)
Possible rework of breaking consequences for some Oaths
Balance changes based on PvP meta shifts

New Lore Oaths:

Void/Time Oath might become obtainable in deep Voidsea content
Potential Oaths tied to unexplored factions
Oaths related to the Divine Authority or other cosmic forces

Stay tuned to the official Discord and this page for updates as new Oaths release!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you have multiple Oaths at once?

No, you can only wield one Oath at a time. This is a core mechanic that forces meaningful choice and prevents overpowered combinations. If you want to try different Oaths, you’ll need to break your current one (with consequences) or create a new character.

What happens if you die with an Oath?

When you die, you’re sent to Fragments of Self in The Depths. Your Oath remains with you through death—it doesn’t disappear just because you wiped. However, if you create a completely new character after permanent death, you’ll start as a Pathfinder again.

Which Oath is best for PvE?

For pure PvE content, Arcwarder is incredibly strong due to its defensive capabilities and damage output. Oathless is also great because the three extra Wildcard slots let you bring more utility mantras. Saltchemist works well for players who like preparation and strategy in PvE encounters.

Which Oath is best for PvP?

The PvP meta shifts, but currently Arcwarder dominates due to its tankiness and damage. Contractor is excellent for aggressive players who can land combos. Oathless is underrated in PvP because that 20% Oath resistance negates other Oath users’ advantages.

Can you skip Oath progression if you haven’t maxed it before?

No, you must fully progress an Oath to max on at least one character before the skip feature becomes available. There’s no way to bypass initial progression, so buckle up and complete those requirements!

Do Oaths affect your reputation?

Yes! Some Oaths impact faction reputation:

Contractor: Massive negative reputation with Etrea and Ministry, hunted by Divers
Arcwarder: Lose reputation with Ignition Union if broken
Dawnwalker: No reputation changes

What’s the easiest Oath to get?

Oathless is technically easiest since it has no stat requirements—just a simple fetch quest. Fadetrimmer is the easiest level-gated Oath at Level 12. For stat-based Oaths, Blindseer at 40 Willpower is relatively achievable.

What’s the hardest Oath to get?

Saintsworn is objectively the hardest, requiring 15 points in all five base attunements (75 total attunement points minimum), finding all five obelisks, and completing three World Events for progression. Silentheart is also challenging due to weapon stat requirements and the scary ghost encounter.

Can you get every Oath on one character?

Yes! Using the Shrine of Order to reallocate stats and Yun’Shul wishes to break Oaths, you can technically obtain every Oath on a single character without wiping. Content creator Always_Afk confirmed this in March 2026 with his Oathbreaker Abridged video.

Do Oaths work in Battle Royale mode?

Yes, but differently. In Battle Royale, you collect Oath Shards from chests—3 shards get you the Oath, then 1 shard for each subsequent talent. It’s a simplified system for the faster-paced mode.

Final Thoughts

Oaths are one of Deepwoken’s most defining features they shape your gameplay, your story, and your identity in this brutal world. Whether you become a beacon of light as a Dawnwalker, embrace darkness as a Silentheart, or serve sinister powers as a Contractor, your Oath choice will create memorable moments and define your legacy.

My personal journey through all 17 Oaths has taught me that there’s no single “best” choice—only the Oath that best fits your playstyle and character concept. I’ve had just as much fun with simple Oathless builds as I have with complex Saintsworn setups. The beauty of Deepwoken’s Oath system lies in its diversity and the meaningful consequences of your choices.

As you prepare to swear your first (or next) Oath, remember that “it’s called an Oath for a reason.” Take time to research, plan your build, and understand the consequences of breaking your vow. The power emanating from words spoken from the soul is indescribable—use it wisely.

Now grab your gear, meet those stat requirements, and go claim the Oath that calls to you! May your journey through Deepwoken be legendary, and may your Oath carry you through even the darkest depths.
