Hold Your King Prestige Guide: How to Prestige & Rewards

What Is Prestige in Hold Your King?

Prestige is a late-game progression system in Hold Your King that allows you to reset your progress in exchange for permanent, account-wide bonuses. By sacrificing your current upgrades, levels, and collected currency, you gain Prestige Tokens that unlock powerful modifiers, making subsequent runs significantly easier.

This system is designed for players who have completed the main campaign or reached a plateau in their character development. It adds immense replay value and encourages you to experiment with different strategies.

Prestige Requirements

Before you can access the prestige system, you must meet the following conditions:

• Complete the Main Campaign: Defeat the final boss in the story campaign.
• Reach Player Level 50: Your account level must be at least 50.
• Accumulate 10,000 Gold: The prestige process costs a one-time fee of 10,000 gold.

Once these requirements are met, you can interact with the Prestige Altar located in the main hub area. The option will appear in the game menu under "Progression."

How to Prestige

Prestiging is a straightforward but impactful decision. Here is the step-by-step process:

1. Prepare Your Resources

   Spend any remaining currency on upgrades, gear, or character unlocks. All currency will be lost upon prestiging, so use it wisely. Focus on buying permanent unlocks if possible.

2. Visit the Prestige Altar

   Navigate to the central hub and locate the glowing altar. Interact with it to open the prestige menu.

3. Confirm Reset

   The game will display a warning listing everything you will lose: levels, gold, gear, and progression. Confirm your decision to begin the prestige process.

4. Receive Prestige Tokens

   Upon resetting, you will be awarded Prestige Tokens based on your total accumulated experience and achievements. These tokens are permanent and cross-save compatible.

5. Start Anew

   Your character will be reset to level 1 with no gear or currency. You retain any cosmetic items and account-wide unlocks. Begin your new run with enhanced power.

Prestige Rewards and Perks

Each time you prestige, you earn Prestige Tokens that can be spent in the Prestige Shop. The shop offers a variety of permanent upgrades:

Prestige Strategy Tips

To maximize your prestige efficiency, follow these strategies:

• First Prestige at Level 50: Do not prestige earlier than the minimum requirement. The tokens you earn scale with your total experience, so rushing will result in fewer rewards.
• Spend All Currency: Before prestiging, purchase every upgrade you can afford. Even small stat boosts carry over indirectly by making your next run easier.
• Coordinate with Friends: In multiplayer, prestige together to avoid progression gaps. A mismatched team can make co-op frustrating.
• Track Your Tokens: Keep a mental note of which perks you have purchased. Avoid buying the same perk twice.
• Use the Prestige Planner: Some community tools allow you to simulate your prestige path. Check the Hold Your King community guide for links.
