This guide covers Pixel Lineage on Roblox (universe 10767928510, place 126256942507957 by group Pixel Lineage). Oaths are dedicated character passives selected and ranked at the Shrine of Oaths inside your Castle hub. Because oaths directly alter your offensive margins or defensive safeguards, choosing the right oath requires understanding their unlock conditions and currency costs.
What Are Oaths in Pixel Lineage?
Oaths are specialized passive modifiers that sit on your hero profile and hub progress. They are separate from your starting Race rolls and Talent traits, and they do not replace class paths. While base classes, Super Classes, and Ultra Forms shape your active combat kits, oaths grant baseline stat modifications, unique triggers, or specific tradeoffs.
Only one oath can be active at a time on a hero. Because oaths cannot be stacked concurrently, you should pick an option that directly supports your active combat actions rather than attempting to balance multiple conflicting roles.
| System | Where It Is Handled | Primary Currency Used | Core Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Race | Hero creation / Hub rolls | Tokens / Robux | Base stat multipliers and racial passives |
| Talents / Traits | Hero creation / Hub rolls | Talent spins | Character-level baseline passive traits |
| Super & Ultra Class | Trainer's Shrine (Act 2 hub) | Gold / Ultra Sigils | Permanent combat role specialization |
| Oaths | Shrine of Oaths (Castle hub) | Gold (repair) & Knowledge (ranking) | Swappable hub passives with combat tradeoffs |
How to Unlock the Shrine of Oaths
The Shrine of Oaths is located in your central Castle hub area near the hub amenities. It is not the Trainer's Shrine (which is situated in Act 2 for Super Classes) and it is not the Goblin Merchant NPC.
- Locate the Shrine: Walk through the Castle hub buildings until you find the dilapidated Shrine of Oaths structure.
- Pay the Repair Fee: Unlocking and relighting the service requires an initial Gold investment of approximately 350 Gold.
- Open the Shrine Interface: Once repaired, interact with the shrine prompt to inspect the available oath rows.
- Select an Active Oath: Swear your chosen oath to bind its passive to your hero.
- Invest Knowledge: Spend Knowledge earned from game runs or code redemptions to rank up the active oath.
How Oaths Work: Ranking and Currency
Unlocking the shrine requires Gold, but progressing your oath relies on Knowledge. Community sources describe two separate oath progression structures depending on the specific patch version and guide context:
The Rank Awakening Model
According to player walkthroughs, oaths feature a ranking progression:
- Swearing the Oath: Commits your hero to a single active power.
- Spending Knowledge: Knowledge is fed directly into the shrine to increase oath ranks.
- Rank 3 Awakening: The oath reaches its awakened state at rank 3, unlocking its full power curve.
Documented Oath Tradeoffs and Effects
Player documentation notes that specific oaths provide clear operational tradeoffs rather than pure stat buffs:
- Steady Hand: Rewards clean defensive timing by providing Energy recovery on successful blocks or dodges.
- Wellspring: Bolsters starting resources and recovers pools upon eliminating enemies.
- Second Breath: Provides a recovery safeguard triggered once per battle when your hero drops to low health.
- Glass Blade: Boosts Attack and Magic at the direct expense of your hero's maximum HP.
- Bulwark: Increases maximum HP and Defense while reducing outgoing Attack and Magic.
Reported Late-Game Oath Variants
Alternative community-compiled class guides record a roster of up to 12 named late-game oaths unlocked in the Castle hub, reported to require active hero qualifications such as an unlocked Ultra Form, Honor reputation, and a 5,000 Gold swap fee:
| Reported Oath | Documented Passive | Reported Active Ability | Target Build Archetype |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oath of Iron | +12% Defense at low HP | Iron Stance | Tank Ultra Forms |
| Oath of Vengeance | +8% damage per missing Life | Reckoning Strike | High-risk DPS builds |
| Oath of the Hunt | +15% crit chance vs. bosses | Predator's Mark | Critical-strike / Rogue builds |
| Oath of the Scholar | +20% XP from all sources | Insight Burst | Leveling & Mage builds |
| Oath of the Wild | +10% dodge, +5% move speed | Forest Step | Evasion / Fist builds |
| Oath of the Pyre | +18% fire damage | Flame Wall | Fire-scaling Magic builds |
| Oath of Frost | Slow on basic attack | Glacial Bind | Sustained control builds |
| Oath of the Tide | +10% HP regen in combat | Tidal Heal | Solo sustain runs |
| Oath of Stone | Immune to knockback | Earthen Hold | Stance / Warden builds |

| Oath of Shadow | +10% damage at night in-game | Veil Walk | Stealth / Night builds |
| Oath of Dawn | +8% all stats at day in-game | Solar Flare | Daytime hybrid builds |
Note: Community wiki sources conflict regarding oath mechanics. Some public logs list oath names as unverified and treat the Shrine as a pure Knowledge-spend bench, while others describe the 12-oath roster above as post-Ultra unlocks. Verify your live in-game HUD requirements at the Shrine of Oaths before committing resources.
How to Get Knowledge for Oaths
Knowledge is the required resource for purchasing and ranking up oath passives. There are two primary methods to acquire it:
- Dungeon and Floor Clears: Running standard dungeon floors awards Knowledge upon completing encounters, though exact yields per floor are not published.
- Goblin Merchant Codes: Certain community redemption strings at the Goblin Merchant provide bulk Knowledge packages (such as recapped codes
TORMENTandLEGENDS, which each granted 100 Knowledge in community logs). Official codeOCTOBERawards Event Candy rather than Knowledge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Shrine of Oaths located?
The Shrine of Oaths is located directly inside the Castle hub. It requires roughly 350 Gold to repair and relight before its menu can be accessed.
Can I have more than one oath active at a time?
No. Game guides confirm that only one oath power can be active on a hero at any given time.
Do oaths use the same currency as class unlocks?
No. Super Classes are unlocked at the Act 2 Trainer's Shrine using Gold, and Ultra Forms require consuming an Ultra Sigil. Oaths are maintained at the Castle hub Shrine of Oaths using Knowledge and Gold.
What is the difference between an oath and a talent?
Talents are rolled directly on character creation or through talent spins in the hub. Oaths are purchased and ranked at the Shrine of Oaths via Knowledge.
