DragonSword: Awakening Patch 1.0.3 — World Boss Reset & Promotion Door

Last updated: July 2026

Official July 24, 2026 update fixing World Boss and Sudden Mission daily resets plus the Intermediate Promotion Quest prison door softlock.

Patch 1.0.3 Overview — July 24, 2026

Shortly after Patch 1.0.2, Hound13 published Update Notes 1.0.3 on the Steam news hub. The patch targets two high-impact progression blockers reported by launch-week players farming endgame loops and climbing the Mercenary Corps promotion track.

Changelog

  • Fixed an issue where World Bosses and Sudden Missions were not being reset
  • Fixed an issue in the Intermediate Promotion Quest where the prison door would not open

Why This Matters

World Bosses and Sudden Missions feed daily loot and Merc Guide discovery. When they failed to reset, players lost a core endgame loop documented in our Endgame Hunts & Raids guide. The Intermediate Promotion prison door softlock stranded mercenaries mid-rank — after updating, reopen the quest and interact with the door again.

Install the latest Steam build so you receive Patches 1.0.1 through 1.0.3 together. For residual graphics start-up issues see the Start-up Crash page; for the full issue list see Launch Known Issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Patch 1.0.3 fix?
World Bosses and Sudden Missions now reset correctly, and the Intermediate Promotion Quest prison door opens so the promotion chain can continue.
Is 1.0.3 a content update?
No. It is a small progression hotfix following Patch 1.0.2 on the same calendar day — no new heroes or regions.
Do World Bosses still refresh daily after the patch?
Yes. The bug prevented proper resets; after 1.0.3 the daily rotation should resume as designed for endgame farming.
