Current edition
Released October 30, 2026 on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 · patch 1.01.05 November 6 (UTC) · official sources checked November 7, 2026 · Kingy played the opening on PC (Steam build 26356968, title screen 1.01.03) on November 4, 2026, up to the Ratty Bug above the first Crystal Monument; later areas from creator footage checked on screen and player reports. 19 guides and 15 connected entries. Research checked 6 Nov 2026; article edit dates are recorded separately.
What still needs work
- Kingy has played only the opening, on PC with keyboard and mouse (November 4, 2026, Steam build 26356968): the beach, Commander Ekonta's sword, the barricade, the first Crystal Monument, the controls and options screens, and the Ratty Bug (five deaths, then a win with our own input helper). Everything past that is built from the official Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo listings and patch notes, creator footage checked frame by frame, and players' Steam reports.
- Player routes and boss tactics are reports, not tested results. Most footage predates patches 1.01.01 to 1.01.03, which fixed soft locks and bosses but not the route.
- Store prices are Canadian prices read on November 4, 2026; ending and collectible counts are single players' reports.
How updates are reviewed
Sources are linked to the guides that depend on them in Kingy’s review pipeline. A source change requests an editorial review; it does not automatically rewrite the guide or advance its edit date. Automated source checks are separate from a substantive guide review.

Kingy test run: Queen's Domain on PC, new game to the Ratty Bug ↗Kingy's own two sessions on Curtis's Steam copy, Windows 11, November 4, 2026 (PC local time): Steam build 26356968, title screen Version 1.01.03, windowed 1920x1080, keyboard and mouse, English. Covered the Options screens and all three pages of key bindings, a new game from the beach (no weapon, empty inventory), the Knight's Encampment, Commander Ekonta's dialogue and the Rusted Short Sword (Power 7, Slash, Average), equipping it from Status & Inventory, breaking the barricade with a charged attack after three quick slashes failed, the Knight's Encampment Crystal Monument (Save, Rest, Leave; Rest took life from 50 to 100), the Quit To Title never-saved warning, deep-water damage, and three deaths to the Ratty Bug on the plateau above the monument, each reloaded with Continue. Two more recordings later on November 4, 2026 (PC local time, same build): sprinting past the Ratty Bug (it followed us to the sea cliff and killed us), then two fights played with Kingy’s own screen-reading input helper (charged attacks with a step back): the first got its bar down to a sliver as we died in the same second (the Game Over reload undid it), the second killed it, unlocking its Bestiary entry (35 life, Attack Power 10, 26 EXP, weak to Slash, normal to Impact, resists Pierce) and leaving Total EXP 26, EXP to next 334, life 50/100. A clay pot near the monument broke with no visible drop. Not covered: anything past that plateau, the first weapons beyond the sword, a controller, Steam Deck and consoles. Silent clips and stills were recorded from the game window. We turned Look Acceleration and Mouse Look off in the first session and Pause When Unfocused off in the second; earlier values were not captured, and no binding was changed.Walkthrough · checked · published 5 Nov 2026

80min in, already soft locked ↗27 posts about saving after dropping down the well. Several players say it is not a soft lock: the area has its own teleporter, which one calls very large.

Beat the whale/water level boss, but still only have 3 trident emblems?? Where's the 4th? ↗30 posts. Two players say a door needs three Trident Keys and that a fourth can be bought from the shop after the Tower of Knowledge boss. One player lists five: one from breaking the Trident, Sapphire and Emerald in the temple, Ruby from the shop and a fifth from a whale boss in the Petrified Garden. Others describe a secret area near the start with doors needing three and then two. Re-read November 7: one player gives four sources (the gate, the Trident breaking at weapon level 5, a wall near the second save crystal by the two-and-three-key gate, the shop after the next boss); another says Spirit oil breaks the Trident at once, and that placed keys can be taken back out.Reported · checked · published 31 Oct 2026

Two slates get missed: one on a round platform with skeletons, reached by jumping and dashing from where you find the Trident, and one tucked between a tower and a wall near where the star lizard was.

why no continuous save... ↗38 replies. Players explain saves happen only at crystals and that death reloads the last save. TheLobsterClause's crash put them back about 5 minutes, not an hour; Broso says the game keeps continuous saves for crash protection that the player cannot load, and links a Workshop quicksave mod; 3ink warns dying without a reset can soft-lock placed trident keys.Reported · checked · published 2 Nov 2026

Tower of Knowledge stuck ↗Krinkle names the problem: no map and no direction marker, so similar-looking places get skimmed.

jump into well ↗Players say the well is not needed early and to come back later; enemies down there sit about 70% into the Bestiary. bb: there is no soft lock, the area has a teleporter and a consumable does the same.

Game is too hard ↗150 replies. The recurring advice: stop face-tanking; an attack spends the whole stamina bar and does almost nothing when the bar is empty, so charge attacks and kite; use throwing daggers as extra damage; read the Bestiary for weaknesses; weapon specials dodge attacks; it eases once you find more throwables, weapons, levels and hidden meals. Several players ask for an easy mode; none is offered.Reported · checked · published 30 Oct 2026
Does combat get better? ↗Split opinions. escyth and SubsistenceSasquatch: mid-game weapons use a different resource than the power bar, specials and throwables widen options by the second or third area; another player notes wind-up attacks can be interrupted and most attacks walked or jumped around.Reported · checked · published 4 Nov 2026

Locations of the six vault books and the slot order (The Great Work IV - Rubedo, The History of Dragons, Dams and Weirs, Upim's Fairy Tales, The Old Ones Beyond, Koko's Sapphic Adventures); Wodaso's Embrace appears after the lance; locations of The Rotting God (Jigeki), Monarch of the Void (Sipeha) and The Green Goddess (Puwema).Walkthrough · checked · published 1 Nov 2026
Help in ancient world ↗Data modules for the Ancient World scientist, one per region, as orange buttons in walls. One player's list: the cemetery near the second Wind Gem's save point, the Obmuer Temple chasm room with the trident doors, a room left of the Storm Gem altar with a manticore, and a locked cell in the prison dungeon. Others: the Ancient World's garage-door balcony below the blue tower; one of the round portal rooms exits to the far island.Reported · checked · published 2 Nov 2026
Witch's grimoire ↗The answer marked by the poster is a table of 33 grimoire passwords and rewards (B0BARLEY with a zero, BIOGENESIS Witch's Scythe, BLINGE Ring of Fire, SAOMATIC Starlight Blade, VINESAUCE Vineshroom and the rest). Replies: the book is in the big tree on the starting beach, about head height; the codes are streamer and creator names; an ink pot that refills over time is in a hidden room near the top of the Record of Sin; grimoire items don't count for achievements; the Witch's Scythe special is a three-charge whirlwind dash.Reported · checked · published 31 Oct 2026
How do I refill the grimoire? ↗The book says it must be refilled after three uses; the Grimoire Ink Enhancer is a key item. Replies: with the ink pot it refills slowly as you kill enemies; grimoire weapons seen so far max at level 25 but have low base power; the Vineshroom and Ring of Fire give ranged options from the start.Reported · checked · published 3 Nov 2026
Witches Grimoire ↗A player on their last charge asks whether it is gone forever. Replies: charges come back as you kill enemies, and the item only speeds that up; the poster saw more charges after a boss.Reported · checked · published 4 Nov 2026
Queen's Domain all Witch's Grimoire codes ↗The same 33 codes and rewards as the Steam table, split into melee weapons and other items; the book is behind the big tree on the starting beach where it meets the wall; three charges to start, one more per major boss, and an ink pot near the top of the Record of Sin. Says grimoire equipment does not count toward achievements.Walkthrough · checked · published 4 Nov 2026
Cheats? spawning food? ↗One player says one grimoire code gives a gun and another a sword that heals as it deals damage, without naming either. Another says the Chef's reward weapon spawns random food when it maxes and resets to level 1, that one Spirit Oil maxes it, and that you should be able to buy Spirit Oil for 15 Ancient Coins (disputed elsewhere).Reported · checked · published 7 Nov 2026
Different endings requirements ↗Three players on the four endings. Agreed: Ending 2 is the reforged True Holy Sword Akunra, Ending 3 the sword from delivering every memento (named Okbujo's Judgment by one), Ending 4 all the Silver Etched Skulls. Disputed: how much of the fight the sword must do (at least 50% of the damage; the whole fight and the last hit; or, one player says, a rocket launcher for most of it and two sword swings still gave Ending 2). One gives 69 skulls, a ritual under the Petrified Garden, then Ending 3 again choosing Eat over Banish.Reported · checked · published 4 Nov 2026
Getting the final ending? (big spoilers) ↗A completionist's notes: Ending 2 needs three of the gods' lenses to reach the place to evolve the holy sword again; Ending 3 needs all lenses, every NPC collection quest and nearly all the bestiary; the fourth ending's achievement reads Eat. Another player: keep the same save to 100%; 69 skulls; the Petrified Garden needs all four lenses and five Trident Keys; hit the fish statues three or four times, activate the symbols and drop into one of the houses; then Ending 3 again.Reported · checked · published 1 Nov 2026
Ending 2 - am i locked out of it? ↗A player at level 84 with four lenses keeps getting Endings 1, 3 and 4 but not 2. Replies: use the sword or it doesn't count; the triggers are finicky, so use only the weapon for the ending you want; one player lists Ending 1 any damage, Endings 2 and 3 at least 25 to 50% of the damage with only Akunra or the Okbujo sword, Ending 4 all 69 skulls and the ritual, then Ending 3 again.Reported · checked · published 2 Nov 2026
How exactly do I get the True Holy Sword? ↗After the first ending: find the Puwema temple at the top of Verdant Hollow (closed door with eight torches, a new lens in a chest nearby), then the eight Sipeha statues. One statue is under the Tower of Knowledge through an easily missed door past a trap door. Reaching the Rotting Cavern is debated in the thread.Reported · checked · published 1 Nov 2026
All Queen's Domain Endings and How to Unlock Them ↗Updated November 5. Four endings with achievements: Most Unfortunate (any weapon except Akunra or Okbujo's Judgement), A Kingdom Free From Darkness (Akunra: level Endu, all Wind Gems and the Storm Gem, eight Sipeha seals, the Altar of Purification), God Slayer (Okbujo's Judgement from eight mementos; Soul of Sipeha after the queen) and Eat (69 skulls, the Petrified Garden ritual, then the God Slayer fight again and Eat over Banish). Same save works; finish the skull ritual first.Walkthrough · checked · published 4 Nov 2026
Best use of Spirit Oil (I've already evolved all the rusted weapons)? ↗With every rusted weapon evolved, players suggest the Chef's pot (the reward for 60 Meal Tickets): each time it maxes it makes a random meal and resets to level 1, and one Spirit Oil is enough to trigger it. Meal Tickets handed in show under System Menu, Challenges.Reported · checked · published 5 Nov 2026
Grinding Weapon Exp Spots near a Save Crystal ↗Spirit Oil drops from the melee gargoyles on the Record of Sin's first floor (rarely, one player says, even at 90 luck) and from the two ghost manticores where you get the last Wind Gem, which don't respawn. One player says a bottle gives three weapon levels rather than XP (another asks whether that's so); one found the shop didn't sell it, maybe later in the game. Grind spots: the Tower of Knowledge's first save crystal, the Verdant Hollow piranha pond.Reported · checked · published 4 Nov 2026
Maxing weapons faster ↗A player maxing 63 weapons farmed Spirit Oil from Gargoyle Lancers in the Record of Sin's dark area; drops are not guaranteed even with the lucky walnut. Replies: equip the Training Band for weapon XP; book bugs at the Tower of Knowledge gargoyle puzzle give three or four levels in a couple of minutes; full-stamina, charged and weakness hits give more XP.Reported · checked · published 4 Nov 2026
Pandora sword Max level? ↗The Pandora Blade levels to 100 for 300% more damage and nothing else, and counts for the weapon-levelling challenge; one player says it stopped levelling at 86 when they tested it with Spirit Oil.Reported · checked · published 6 Nov 2026
Is it worth grinding to evolve the rusted weapons? ↗Players on what the evolved starters do (the club becomes a healing staff, the spear poisons and paralyses). One suggests waiting until you hold at least four oils, saving, using them on a rusted weapon and reloading if you don't like the result.Reported · checked · published 1 Nov 2026
Progression After Ending 1 ↗One player's route beyond Ending 1: it needs Sipeha's Lens and Jigeki's Lens (Wodaso's only finds secrets). Sipeha's Lens is in a chest beside the broken statue in Puwema's Temple at the top of Verdant Hollow, reached through the Rotting Cavern swamp (four Dark Triangular Slates open a temple door on the way); Jigeki's Lens takes three key pieces, one in a cave under the bridge to Siraatsu Castle and one near the start of Deimpo Mausoleum.Reported · checked · published 4 Nov 2026
