Conan Exiles Age of War Chapter 4 Patch Notes
“The Sacred Hunt” Limited-Time Event
Underneath the blood-soaked wilds stirs a primal force, a calling of the hunt. Be you predator or prey, Exile? Rejoice, for both are sacred! Learn more about this new limited-time event below:
Greetings Exiles, With a great snarling and snapping of teeth, Age of War – Chapter 4 approaches. When it arrives on April 2, keep your back to the wall, and scan the moonlit land for movement. In the Sacred Hunt, the roles of predator and prey are…
Fatalities
- Chance for enemy humanoids to go into a “Dazed State” upon death strike
- Once dazed, the player can perform a fatality if facing the front of the dazed enemy and attacking using a melee weapon
- Performing a fatality adds a buff that stacks
Follower Overhaul
- Control over follower behavior has been removed from the follower radial and replaced with a new menu in the follower’s inventory panel
- Follower Command Radial has been reworked for ease of input, it now makes selections on release rather than requiring a second click/button tap
- New “Flee” command will instruct your followers to run from combat and regroup with you
- New “Wait/Defend Here” command will instruct your followers to stand in the indicated location until instructed otherwise. Aggressive and Defensive followers will fight to defend the location while Passive and Pacifist followers (such as mounts) will avoid combat while staying near the location.
- “Attack” and “Return” commands have been reworked to be more reliable when the follower is already in combat
- “Stop” command has been removed
Destructible Camps in Siptah
- Small camps that are destructible at X’Chotl and New Luxur in Siptah

New Buildable Siege Weapon – the Ballista!
- Ballista is unlocked via the knowledge menu tab at level 30
- Built on a Siege Weapon Base, which is built on top of a Siege Foundation. The Siege Weapon Base can then be upgraded into either the Trebuchet, or the Ballista
- Interact with the front of the Ballista to open its inventory, and the back (where the cranks are) to operate it.
- Hold down secondary/heavy attack to charge up the ballista
- Fire with primary attack
- Ballista ammunition is crafted inside the Ballista
- Two different kinds of ammunition, each with 3 tiers: Bolts and Balls.

The Bazaar
The Bazaar is receiving new offerings in Chapter 4, including a Poitain Jousting item set, an expansion for the Lost Dungeon building set, and a soothing Yamatai onsen placeable set. Additionally, more favorites from across the previous Chapters and Age are returning in special bundles!
Battle Pass
Age of War Chapter 4 Battle Pass will let you build a complete Zingarian Mercenary camp, including perimeter walls & gate, soldier & captain tents and armor, and other, diverse placeables. In addition, Battle Pass experience progression has received a major update in addition to some changes to Challenges. Read below for more:
