Seven Deadly Sins: Origin 1.4 → 1.5 — What Changed (Catch-Up)

Stopped playing after the 1.4 Echoes of Hearts patch? Version 1.5 'Beyond the Sandstorm' (June 4) is the biggest jump yet: a new SSR hero, a new region and story, a weekly co-op raid, and a system-level gear overhaul that lets engraved gear and armor equip together — plus the quality-of-life changes that make daily farming far less key-gated.

Stopped playing after the 1.4 Echoes of Hearts patch? Version 1.5 'Beyond the Sandstorm' (June 4) is the biggest jump yet: a new SSR hero, a new region and story, a weekly co-op raid, and a system-level gear overhaul that lets engraved gear and armor equip together — plus the quality-of-life changes that make daily farming far less key-gated.

  • From 1.4
  • Merlin · SSR
  • New region + Act 14
  • Weekly Raid
  • Gear overhaul
  • No keys on elites

Version 1.5 shipped on June 4, 2026, three weeks after 1.4. Unlike the live-ops-only 1.4, this one adds new content AND reworks core systems: the new SSR hero Merlin, Main Quest Act 14, the Sealed Sanctuary region, the Taranis's Sanctuary weekly raid, a sweeping gear overhaul and a much friendlier farming loop.

This page is the delta only — what's new since 1.4. For full detail, see the dedicated Version 1.5 patch notes, the livestream recap and the gear-overhaul deep-dive linked below.

The short version

What to do first

Priorities coming from 1.4

  • Don't salvage your armorThe headline system change: engraved gear and armor now equip together, so armor set effects stack with engraved passives. Hold good armor instead of breaking it for materials.
  • Run the Merlin Trial & free pullsTest Merlin free, then weigh her banner and the Daisy 'A Timeless Heart' rerun. A 14-day login hands out 1,400 Star Fragments.
  • Farm elites — they're key-free nowField elites no longer cost cube keys, and cubes now drop a double reward. Stockpile SR Magic Crystal Shards for the new SR→SSR recipe.
  • Build toward the raidTaranis's Sanctuary is Abyss-only weekly co-op for ~1,000 Star Fragments/week — gear up and find a party.
Content

New hero, story & region

  • Merlin — SSRThe first hero to span three damage elements: Grimoire (Cold), Wand (Lightning), Staff (Fire). A Tag-Skill carry built on a Frost Mark. Launches with her 'Morning Star Aldan' skin and a Trial event. (Exact rates/multipliers come with the Update Details notice.)
  • Daisy rerun — A Timeless HeartA standard-rate Daisy Pick Up (120-Loyalty pity) with her skin, tied to the earlier potential fix.
  • Act 14 — The Snare of TimeNew main-story chapter, plus the new compact 'Sealed Sanctuary' region (new gatherables, the Temple of Undying, an Elemental Harmony traversal skill).
Systems

The gear overhaul

  • Engraved + armor equip togetherEngraved passives and armor set effects now stack — your farmed armor finally matters. Some set values are trimmed to compensate, but the net is a clear power gain.
  • Crafted quality unlockedFixed crafted quality becomes a minimum and rolls a range up to a per-item cap (as high as 125). Two new sets: Greedy Ruler (quality 120–130 via the Vow system) and Ferocious Watcher (engraving material).
  • Six heroes get a third engraved setMannie, Escanor, Clotho, Jericho, Dreyfus and Hendrickson.
  • Gluttonous Soul weapons + cheaper limit breaksNew weapon sub-options, and a new SR→SSR Magic Crystal Shard recipe (still capped once per week per weapon).
Raid, Junction, QoL

New end-game & quality of life

  • Raid — Taranis's SanctuaryWeekly co-op (up to 5), Abyss only, its own key. Two clears/week for ~500 Star Fragments each (≈1,000/week). The 'chess boss' has destructible board pieces and party gimmicks.
  • Dungeons reworkFerzen Mines, Deep Spider Nest and The Capital of the Dead close to return later as raids; their rewards fold into Boss Challenge (one clear pays both). Hold old materials to exchange 1:1.
  • Timespace Junction Sectors 5 & 6Fraudrin and Diane added; per-floor recommended heroes from Floor 5. New Hell/Abyss tiers on the Corrupted Guardian Golem.
  • Quality of lifeField elites cost 0 cube keys; cube keys now open a double reward (two different drops). Leaderboard / Time Attack Pre-Season 2 begins.
