The Seven Deadly Sins Origin Version 1.5 Update Adds Merlin and Sealed Sanctuary

Netmarble released Version 1.5 of The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, a major content patch that expands the game's roster and endgame systems. The update introduces Merlin as a new multi-weapon SSR battlemage and adds a new Sealed Sanctuary map zone for crafting. Players can now stack Engraved Equipment with standard armor pieces to preserve set bonuses while gaining unique traits. The studio also removed the Cube Key requirement for collecting elite boss drops.

Netmarble expands the game with a new multi-weapon character and crafting zone

Merlin enters the game as a versatile magic character whose combat style shifts based on her equipped weapon. A Grimoire focuses her attacks around ice elements and freezing status marks, while a Wand transitions her into a lightning damage dealer with fast ability cooldowns. Equipping a Staff allows players to summon mirror clones that distract opponents while building a resource meter for cost-free ultimate skills.

Access to the Sealed Sanctuary requires navigating intense desert sandstorms, where players can find specialized crafting materials such as Malachite. Players must complete the main campaign update to unlock this region, which offers progression for character mastery levels. The patch also introduces Taranis's Sanctuary, a five-player raid dungeon designed for top-tier armor drops.

High-tier gearing received an overhaul that allows Engraved Equipment to stack alongside standard tier armor simultaneously. The updated gear system retains essential five-piece set bonuses alongside inherited unique Engraved attributes. Groups may attempt the new five-player raid twice weekly, utilizing fire and wind vulnerabilities to obtain top-tier equipment.

Netmarble released this update for The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin through its official channels. Netmarble continues to release simultaneous content expansions for other significant action games within its catalog.
