Rune Slayer Guide, How to Join Holy Faction & Demonic Sect

Rune Slayer offers players the exciting option to pledge allegiance to one of two powerful factions: the Holy faction and the Demonic sect. Each faction not only shapes your role in the game but also influences your character’s story and abilities. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of finding and joining both factions, helping you decide which path suits your playstyle best. Remember, you can most likely only join one faction, so choose wisely.

Joining the Holy Faction

1. Head to the Way Shire Gate

Begin your journey at the Way Shire gate. From here, sprint straight out toward the area where King Slime spawns. This serves as your starting point for the route.

2. Navigate the Path

When you reach the curve in the path, take a left into the forest. Continue through the wooded area until you approach a hill. While there are several routes up, it’s best to avoid the steeper, more frustrating spots and stick to the smoother path.

3. Locate the Lake

Keep moving until you find a lake—known as Lake Shire. Once there, proceed straight until you spot a crevice in the rocks. Be cautious near the water, as a crocodile might be lurking in the area.

4. Find the Knights Templar Area

Behind some nearby buildings, you’ll come across a Knights Templar area. Speak with the NPC here and ask for the lift. When boarding the lift, remain absolutely still—avoid drawing attention with any weapon moves, or you risk falling through the platform and facing a quick defeat.

5. Reach the Holy Faction Headquarters

After the lift ride, follow the path up a series of small rocks. Navigate around to the left until you arrive at the Knights Hideout. Here, simply select the option that confirms your intent by saying, for example, “I would like to join your cause.” Congratulations—you are now a member of the Holy faction.

Joining the Demonic Sect

1. Begin Near the Holy Guild

The entrance to the Demonic sect is surprisingly close to the Holy faction’s location. After visiting the Holy area, locate the basement part near the guild.

2. Open the Gate and Proceed

Find the small gate in this basement area and open it. From here, you’ll need to dash through a series of challenging obstacles. Follow the indicated path—there will be moments when you need to choose the correct route (instead of always turning left, sometimes turning right is necessary).

3. Dodge Hazards Along the Way

As you make your way through the passage, you’ll encounter hazards such as heat and pools of lava. Be quick and careful—crouching might help avoid damage from intense heat, and timing your jumps is essential to avoid lethal falls.

4. Encounter NPCs and Clear the Path

Watch out for strong NPCs along the route. The corridor requires both speed and precision. The layout may seem confusing at times, but stick to the designated path and avoid landing in the middle of dangerous spots.

5. Final Step: Joining the Demon Sect

Eventually, you will reach the area where the Demonic leader, Malar Reth the World Scorcher, awaits. Here, confirm your decision by stating your intent to join. For example, say, “I would like to join you in desecrating this world.” Once completed, you will be welcomed into the Demonic sect.
