Echoes of Aincrad Post-Game Content Guide

Read this guide for the post-game content in SAO: Echoes of Aincrad. This includes everything that opens up once you complete the main story.

What to Do After Beating Echoes of Aincrad

Defeat Tezca Death Wielder!

The Underground Quest opens up after the Main Story, where your party explores the basement and battles Tezca Death Wielder. This boss fight will be extremely challenging, so it's recommended to level up and strengthen your equipment before attempting it.

New Side Quests will Appear

Warped Dungeons can be explored after completing the Underground Quest. They range in level from 60 to 150, and the higher the dungeon level, the stronger the Keystone you'll find. It's worth leveling up your character alongside your Keystone collection.

Keystones Are Now Unlocked

As you progress through the Warped Dungeon Quests, you'll start unlocking Keystones. These can be equipped, up to three at a time, and each one grants a different buff.

Try Death Game Mode If You Dare

Standard Edition players can unlock Death Game Mode starting on their second playthrough! This perma-death feature raises the stakes of the game.

Other Activities to Do During Post-Game

Improve Your Gear

Since most of the best content unlocks after the Main Story, it's a good time to max out your favorite weapon type and fine-tune your EX-MODs for the strongest build.

Find All World Database Entries

Haven't been keeping up with World Database entries? Start collecting them, you'll need them for some trophies, plus you'll get rewards and extra lore about the world of Aincrad.

Aim for 100% Trophy Completion

Many trophies come naturally from clearing quests, but others, like collecting Database entries and learning every Sword Skill, will take dedicated extra runs. Take your time and enjoy the post-game content while doing this.
