Sword Fights on the Heights IV Guides & Walkthroughs

Welcome to the SFOTH IV Guides Hub

Sword Fights on the Heights IV is a classic Shedletsky sword arena: floating platforms, iconic gear, and short, brutal lives. This hub is the map of every how-to on the wiki. Start with onboarding if you are new, jump to Hunt walkthroughs if you only need badges, or open combat and location guides when you already know the basics.

Every guide below is written for the classic place (Roblox place 47324), not for community remakes. Internal links use trailing slashes and stay locale-agnostic so every language build resolves correctly.

Start here

Getting Started

Your first session checklist: spawn with the Linked Sword, learn slash versus lunge, grab a better blade, survive long enough to find the Locus, and understand what a KO actually means on the Heights. Includes a practical route for the first ten minutes and pointers into the rest of the wiki.

Controls

Detailed input breakdown for mouse and keyboard, double-click lunges, hotbar sword switching, camera habits that win trades, mobile notes, and what changed when the in-game shop was historically available or disabled for events.

Event guides (The Hunt: Roblox 20)

The Hunt: Roblox 20

Full 2007-era walkthrough for September 17–28, 2026: finish Crossroads first, press all five buttons in the anniversary hub (caged Noob, red-roof house, brown mountain under the rocket, blue glass building, disappearing bridge platform), portal into SFOTH IV, collect four swords without worrying that death wipes event progress, then claim Duel of the Heights UGC back in the hub.

Secret Quest

Hidden badge route gated behind Four Sword Collector. Purple portal into the Abyss, blue brick trigger, red door teleporter, launcher hops, and the dark sphere finish. Timed with the same Hunt window ending around September 28, 2026.

Map and combat mastery

Sword Locations

Where to find every classic sword and how the Locus portals shortcut the route: tan/white toward Illumina, blue toward Windforce, red toward Medkit / Venomshank side, purple toward Shield routes, plus notes for Darkheart, Ghostwalker, Firebrand, Ice Dagger, and the Touchstone.

Combat Tips

Practical fighting advice: Illumina fly (double Illumina or Illumina + Ghostwalker), Darkheart forcefield healing, Touchstone escapes into the Locus, Windforce knockback caveats, Firebrand versus Ice Dagger, and streaking habits that keep you alive longer than raw damage numbers.

Illumina Fly

Deep how-to for sustained aerial movement: double Illumina swap-lunges, Illumina + Ghostwalker hybrid flight, hotbar timing, mobile limits, and September 2026 Hunt notes when Illumina physics felt unstable under server authority. Required reading before serious under-platform badge attempts.

Classic badges

Badges

Evergreen Shedletsky awards: 5 / 20 / 97 Kills, Blademaster (20 KOs without dying), John, Loved of Muses (Magic Card under Illumina via Ghostwalker + Illumina after Jet Boots removal), PWNED Shedletsky / Epic (Linked Sword only for Epic), plus Touch The Divine discontinued notes and brief Hunt badge pointers.

How to use this hub

1. Brand new? Read Getting Started, then Controls, then Sword Locations.
2. Only here for Hunt badges? Open Hunt Roblox 20, finish the four-sword badge, then Secret Quest if you still have time before the event ends.
3. Already fighting? Jump to Combat Tips, then Illumina Fly, and cross-check matchups on the Tier list.
4. Chasing classic badges? Open Badges, then Illumina Fly for John Loved.
5. Looking for free strings? Classic SFOTH IV has none—see the Codes Hub explanation, then come back here for real unlocks.
6. Curious about automation? Read Scripts for context, then return to legitimate practice guides.

Sibling guides intentionally cross-link each other. If you finish Sword Locations, you should already see Combat Tips and Getting Started in the article footer path. If you finish Hunt, Secret Quest is the natural next page. If you finish Badges, Illumina Fly is the movement companion.

Writing standards for this wiki

Guides on this site aim for real usable detail: named landmarks, exact Hunt button spots, Locus portal colors, and combat mechanics players actually use in 2026. We keep classic sword names (Illumina, Darkheart, Ghostwalker, Windforce, Firebrand, Venomshank, Ice Dagger, Linked Sword) consistent across pages so search and internal linking stay clean.

When an event ends, event guides remain as historical walkthroughs with clear date windows so future readers know what was time-limited. Core combat and location guides stay evergreen unless Shedletsky changes spawn layout or sword behavior.

Suggested reading order (first hour)

1. Getting Started
2. Controls
3. Sword Locations
4. Combat Tips
5. Illumina Fly when you are ready for aerial tech
6. Badges for classic milestone goals
7. If Hunt is live: Hunt Roblox 20 —Secret Quest

That path takes you from Linked Sword spawn to confident Locus routing, flight literacy, and—during anniversary events—the full badge set without bouncing through unrelated Roblox code farms.

Bottom line

Use this Guides Hub as your table of contents. Pick the page that matches your goal—onboarding, Hunt, map routing, Illumina flight, classic badges, or duel craft—and follow the cross-links at the end of each article into the next skill you need on the Heights.
