Set in a medieval, dark fantasy world, Berserk centers on themes of betrayal, revenge, sacrifice, and monstrous power. Celebrate Berserk with limited-time cosmetics you can earn and collect so your characters can walk in the footsteps of these legendary figures. Don relics of war, symbols of ambition, echoes of vengeance. Wear them and become a part of the legend.

 

On May 6, Kentaro Miura’s iconic manga comes to life within the bloodied chaos of Estuar. Visit the in-game shop and defeat powerful demons to earn darkly glorious in-game cosmetics worthy of the Black Swordsman.

 

 

He stands as coughs rack his body, contorting his heavily wounded frame, streaking the snow crimson. Between shocks of pain, Femto’s unyielding rage burns bright in his mind. He struggles, leaning on a sword almost too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, more like a hunk of iron.

 

He scans his surroundings; mountainous peaks fracture the sky. Smoke rises in the distance to anchor this moonless night. He breathes and steadies himself, his eye catching a most curious artifact amidst the blood-streaked frost. A small egg with the makings of a face writhes in agony, a silent cry of anguish escaping its lips. He listens as the roar of frenzied monsters fill the air, his Brand of Sacrifice bleeding from their demonic presence. He grins contended, for he’ll hunt and kill all those wretched monsters. Down to the last one.

Slay Demons; Earn Behelits

Slaying powerful elite enemies in-game has a chance to drop sinister Behelits, oviod creatures which grant audience to powerful demons capable of terrible sacrifice. These Behelits can be collected and then used to earn Berserk themed cosmetics.

 

 

Trade in Behelits to the Berserk Reliquary to claim items befitting the will of Godhand themselves. Claim the Hawks Destiny Back trophy, which houses the shackles that once held the fallen knight Griffith captive, the honorable Skull Knight’s Heraldry Mount Armor, or the cursed Brand of Sacrifice Marking.

 

 

The Foretold Eclipse Headstone evokes the great sacrifice that devoured the Band of the Hawk to exalt their most trusted Commander, Griffith.

 

 

Upon seizing all items in this Reliquary, you’ll earn the Od of the Berserker Emblem, a potent symbol that aligns with the unflinching violence of its wearer.

Claim Iconic Armor in the in-game Shop

 

The loyalty of the ill-fated Band of the Hawk’s Mercenaries was only matched by their bravery in combat. Become the legend of the Black Swordsman and don the Barbarian’s Berserker Armor, avenge your fallen brethren as you swear vengeance on Femto while cleaving demons by the hundred. As a Necromancer, wear the finery of The Skull Knight, the ancient enigma, eternal foe of the inhumans. Wander together next to Chimimoryo Schnoz Pet, the oddity of the Astral Plane.
