Aegir finally arrives in today’s second Lost Ark update of the month. The update brings not just the new Kazeros raid, but some balance changes, new cosmetics, and fixes. There’s also an extension to Ignite servers.
The Aegir raid is the core of the update, since it is the second Kazeros Raid ie being added after everyone has had a chance to adjust to Tier 4’s new skills and systems. With the first gate, you’ll face Akkan once more, and he will use all of the attacks the King of the Dead might, including Valtan’s soul. It’s designed to be a tough battle, though the Western versions of the raid have the difficulty adjusted down a little.
If you survive that battle, then you can progress and ultimately, confront Aegir. Chapter 1: Earth-Shattering Hellfire requires item level 1660 Normal / 1680 Hard, and with a title like that, you get a bit of an idea of how it will go. Put together your best 8-player team, use the new Hyper Awakenings and skills, and coordinate to take down this newest boss.
Victory will get you new Tier 4 Ancient Gear crafting materials, Hellfire Keystones, along with Tier 4 accessories, and more. There are a dozen new achievements, three new titles, four trophies, a new Memory Tome, and new Kazeros Raid Exchange items too.
With the Aegir Raid now in Arkesia, there have been a few tweaks to existing raids, including some damage nerfs and HP for raids on Ignite and live servers that should make the older content more doable.
Ignite Servers will begin to offer transfer to live servers a little later than originally announced. The new date is October 30th, and the team is doing this for a few reasons. First, some technical issues early on ate up some of the time everyone had. They’re also working to have “minimal economic impact” from the server transfers and have been fixing some exploits. Finally, the new date coincides with the new Mokoko Bootcamp event, with progression bonuses and incentives for veteran players to play with new ones.
New cosmetics are also in the update, just in time for Halloween. The Nightmare Cosmetic Collection gets showcase. It features new skins, pets, and the Spooky Witch's Forest Wallpaper.
