MAJOR UPDATES - Black Shrine - Donghae (Solo): Calamities 8 to 10

We’re adding Calamity 8, 9, and 10 difficulties for the Bamboo Legion, the "Beacon of the People," in Donghae (Solo). Like other bosses at these difficulties, you’ll rely on your equipped gear stats for combat, rather than Light Orbs.
With the release of new gear, many adventurers have recently seen their overall stats improve. We’ve taken this into account when setting the minimum AP requirements. To keep things fair, we’ve also enhanced some of the rewards for successfully completing the Boss Blitz.
We’re excited to see adventurers once again face the returning Bamboo Legion, overcome their might, and help clear up any misunderstandings. We look forward to seeing your continued achievements.
  • Added Calamity 8 - 10 difficulties to Bamboo Legion in Black Shrine - Donghae (Solo).
 
  • Updated entry requirements for each boss difficulty as follows:
Boss Difficulty Required Stats
Calamity 8 360 Displayed AP
Calamity 9 370 Displayed AP
Calamity 10 380 Displayed AP
※ On Calamity 8 difficulty and higher, stats from Light Orbs (Sun, Moon, Earth Aura) won’t be applied. Instead, your character’s stats will be determined by the gear you have equipped when you enter.
※ Weekly boss blitz attempts are shared across all difficulties for Black Shrine - Donghae (Solo).

 

  • Weekly boss blitz rewards for each difficulty are as follows.
    • Your Boss Blitz ranking determines the rewards you receive, with Rank 1 offering the best prizes. The higher your rank, the more guaranteed loot you’ll get—and you’ll also have a better chance of scoring extra items.
    • Unspecified quantities in rewards default to one item.

MONSTER

Edania Boss Subjugation

Each Boss in the Edania region is designed with a specific difficulty level in mind. Since Jordine and Enslar were more challenging than intended, we’ve slightly adjusted their difficulty.
We've also made boss fights a bit easier—picking up a recovery orb will now restore some of your Black Spirit’s Rage as well. We hope these changes help you enjoy your battles and show off your skills.
  • Changed weekly boss Jordine in Aetherion Castle as follows.
    • Reduced the time it takes for Jordine to test Edana and reveal himself by 30%.
    • On 75% HP, successfully resolving the mechanic now applies a DP Reduction debuff to Jordine.
      • Jordine can now use that mechanic at most once.
    • Black Wings - HP reduced by 15%.
    • Black Wings - After using the flying pattern, it now expends all power and remains stunned for an extended duration.
    • Reduced Jordine's HP by 30% when fighting alongside Black Wings.

 

  • Changed weekly boss Enslar in Orbita Castle as follows.
    • [Phase 1] Enslar's HP reduced by 15%
    • [Phase 1] Reduced required destructions of Fallen Darkness after the Sacred Flame ignites: 3 → 2
    • [Phase 2] Reduced the number of times Enslar summons Enslar's Shadows, but increased the number of Shadows summoned.
    • [Phase 2] Improved so when Enslar is hit by Knockdown, Floating, or Bound effects during certain attacks, Enslar falls to the ground.
    • [Phase 2] Increased Knockdown duration for Enslar by 2 sec.
    • [Phase 2] Changed so after summoning all Shadows in the pattern triggered under 50% HP, Enslar descends to the ground.
 
  • [Throne of Edana] For the Throne - Changed the effects and visuals of Recovery Orbs that spawn during boss fights.
    • Recovery Orbs now restore HP, recover resources, and also recharge Black Spirit's Rage.
Before After
 
  • Applied the following for faster weekly quest completion after finishing the boss fight during [Throne of Edana] For the Throne.
    • Your character now automatically moves to the front of each throne after the fight to speed up weekly quest completion.
 

 

Dark Rift

To make Dark Rift boss subjugations faster and more convenient, we’ve adjusted their spawn locations. Bosses that previously spawned in multiple spots will now spawn in a fixed location.
 
With this change, starting a Dark Rift subjugation at Omar Lava Cave or Phoniel’s Cabin will let you encounter all the bosses along a single route.
  • Changed the four Dark Rift bosses—Red Nose, Dastard Bheg, Muskan, and Dim Tree Spirit—to always appear at fixed locations.
    • Changed the spawn location of Ahib Griffon to Phoniel’s Cabin.
    • Dark Rift bosses will newly appear at their updated locations after the Nov 6, 2025 (Thu) maintenance.

Boss Name Location (Before) Location (After)
Red Nose Ehwaz Hill, Northern Plain of Serendia Northern Plain of Serendia
Dastard Bheg Altar of Agris, Alejandro Farm Alejandro Farm
Muskan Southern Mountain Range, Biraghi Den Biraghi Den

Sycraia Underwater Ruins
  • Changed the name of Sycraia Underwater Ruins (Upper) Paint to Sycraia Underwater Ruins Paint.
  • Changed Sycraia Underwater Ruins (Abyssal) to drop Sycraia Underwater Ruins Paint.
  • Added Rich Merchant's Ring Piece to the obtainable items list for Sycraia Underwater Ruins (Abyssal) in Monster Zone Info.
    • Drop rate and availability remain unchanged; only the item list display in Monster Zone Info has been updated.
 

 
  • Reduced the vibration effect of falling rocks during Sangoon Calamities 8 to 10 in the Black Shrine.
 

MOUNT

  • Changed so that when using mount skills with your weapon drawn, your weapon is automatically put away.
 

NODE/CONQUEST WAR

This week’s maintenance has brought adjustments to node tiers, participant limits, and schedule across Calpheon, Mediah, and Kamasylvia.
These changes reflect feedback from our adventurers and take into account each region’s size, terrain, and participant count, all with the goal of making Node Wars run more smoothly.
