Chaos Tome
The Chaos Tome is one of the most unpredictable Tomes in Megabonk. Instead of giving a clear and fixed bonus, each upgrade randomly increases a different stat. This makes it risky to invest in but also fun if you enjoy unpredictable builds. **As of Patch 1.0.12, the reward bonus from this Tome has been increased by 50%, making it a more worthwhile gamble.**
Overview
- Stat: Random Stat
- Base upgrade per level: Varies
- Max level: 99
- Category: RNG Tome
Effects
- Every level of Chaos Tome increases a random stat.
- The boost can go into offense, defense, economy, or utility.
- Reward bonus from this Tome is now 50% higher (Patch 1.0.12).
- Sometimes the rolls line up and create a surprisingly strong build. Other times it might spread thin.
How to Unlock
- Requirement: Charge all Charge Shrines on a Tier 3 run across all 3 stages without leaving the charge zone.
This is a tricky unlock that requires both patience and good survivability.
Synergies
- Luck Tome: As of version 1.0.19 Legendary upgrades on the Chaos Tome are bugged and provide double the intended bonus. High Luck will allow you to get these legendary upgrades much more often.
- Cursed Tome: Extra difficulty plus random buffs can turn a run into a high-risk, high-reward experience.
Strategy Tips
- Don’t rely on Chaos Tome alone. Use it as a side investment after your core stats are covered.
- Best used in runs where you already feel strong and can afford some randomness.
- Since its reward bonus is 50% higher, it might now be worth prioritizing slightly earlier.
- Be ready for inconsistent results—sometimes you’ll get great offense, other times mostly utility.
Notes
- Considered one of the most “fun” Tomes, but not always reliable.
- Unlock condition is one of the tougher shrine challenges.
- Patch V1.0.12 greatly increased the reward bonus by 50%, making the Chaos Tome a much more appealing high-risk, high-reward investment.
