[FLOOR 2 STORY] Sword Art: Eternity Beginner Guide

A first-session path from the Town of Beginnings spawn through level 5, then the next pages to open.

First session

  1. Before you leave the spawn town — You begin with 20 Col. Sprint inside the Town of Beginnings until Stamina is level 5, talk to the Black Swordsman, draw your weapon with Q, and only then take the 10-boar quest at the gate.
  2. First session — Shops, the boar quest, and the level 5 trade unlock.
  3. Keys — Draw, parry, dash, camera, and the binds reports still disagree on.
  4. After level 5 — Move to Medai for wolves and a level 5 weapon. Cook boar meat if you need Col. Follow the blue story marker when your level matches the episode.
  5. Level bands — Boars, wolves, the corrupted dungeon, and Nepenthes.
  6. Episodes 1 to 3 — Kirito, Tolbana, and the level 14 labyrinth gate.
  7. Before a dungeon — Buy remedies, confirm the weapon is not at zero durability, and read the death rule. Normal deaths clear only the current experience bar.
  8. Healing and death — Town regen, steak, potions, and Permanent Death.
  9. Dungeons and bosses — Mini-boss routes, the Minotaur, and floor boss rules.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when you die in normal play?

You keep the character level you already reached, and the experience bar toward the next level returns to zero. You respawn in a town. Optional Permanent Death mode is a separate ruleset in which death deletes the character.

How do you change the camera?

On a keyboard, press O to toggle first person and third person. The experience page lists PC, console, mobile, and tablet. In-game key remapping is reported as unavailable.

Are there working codes right now?

The Codes screen and the in-game cog menu are both documented, but no working code string and no expired code string were published as of October 17, 2026. Do not type placeholder words.

When can you trade with other players?

Player trading of Col and items is reported to unlock at character level 5. Below that level the trade menu does not complete a transfer.

Why will attacks not connect?

The weapon has to be drawn first. Press Q. If the blade is sheathed, left click does not damage the target. Third person makes the sheath state easier to see.
