Lost Ark’s next update arrives tomorrow, and Amazon has released all the details about what to expect. Along with the arrival of the new content of Elgacia, there will be a new storyline to check out, new cosmetics, an event raid, and a new endgame Abyssal dungeon.
This is a packed update, which isn’t surprising considering there's a whole new continent coming to explore. The team released initial details recently about the item level requirements just to even enter Elgacia, in order to give any stragglers time to get their characters ready for the new content.
Not only is there new terrain, but the story continues. The Demon invasion is beginning in South Vern and all over the world, Chaos Gates are feeding Legion Commanders’ power. There needs to be somewhere to go in order to have any hope of saving Arkesia, especially with the resurrection of Kazeros on the horizon. The gates of Elgacia will open, bringing a new story, new missions, new characters, places to explore, and much more. Explore and investigate, to discover the secrets of the Lazeniths.
On the new continent, you'll find a new field boss named Israfel, for item level 1540+, a new wandering merchant, new Rapport NPCs and quests, and a number of things to unlock. There are new collectibles, new titles, achievements, cards, and card sets, new continent specific jukebox songs and an Elgacia Knowledge Transfer option.
As for challenges, aside from the new world boss, there’s the new endgame Abyssal Dungeon: Kayangel, Light’s Sanctuary. This one arrives in two difficulties–normal and hard–and there are four gates to save your progress. This four-player dungeon is only accessible after you finish the Elgacia story.
Also coming is the unlock for the final 25 floors of Fortunespire. The tower will unlock and you will get first time clear rewards for every level you go up.
If you’re looking for a different challenge to match Lost Ark’s colorful and whimsical nature, maybe the new Balthorr raid event fits for you.
“Receive an event quest from 'Legendary Secret Tavern Master' located in each major city. Progress through the quests to unlock a ticket to the Balthorr Raid Event, which can be completed once per day at the Great Castle's Tavern. Transform into a beer and work with others to calm down Balthorr.”
After all, this is a game that has had you transform into a chicken to battle for supremacy and rewards.
