content auto translated from {from}

The October “Belgardin” update, arriving on October 21, will introduce the Shadow Raid “Belgardin, Hand of Death.” Players will face a unique enemy with a tragic story.

The quest begins with a sinister energy that continues to consume the Kadarum Archipelago. You must discover its source and cleanse the world of it.

To enter the new mode, you’ll need 8 players who have completed the Kadarum Archipelago story quest “When the Bell Fell Silent.” The raid will be available in two phases and four modes:

  • Expedition: item level 1750 or higher;
  • Normal: item level 1750 or higher;
  • Heroic: item level 1770 or higher;
  • Nightmare: item level 1780 or higher.

Expedition mode can be played solo or in a group: use the “Find Party” feature to team up with 1–7 players, or use Party Finder to join with a premade raid of 8 players.

Esdo Energy cannot be obtained by completing Expedition mode, and there is no auction at the end of the raid.

Raid Features

Each phase has a set number of revives for the entire raid. The number of revives available at the start of the fight depends on the dungeon’s difficulty. Additional revives are gradually added as the battle progresses.

The raid also features a new combat mechanic: long parrying. You can use it during certain attacks by the boss, Belgardin. To do so, hold down the G key.

Rewards

By taking part in the raid, players can earn new gear and materials:

  • Bracelets — awarded for the first clear of the dungeon’s second phase, regardless of difficulty;
  • Shadow of the Soul Lord — a material used to remove the bracelet enhancement cap at levels 10 and 15;
  • Hand of Death — a material used to remove the bracelet enhancement cap at levels 10, 15, and 20.
