Atoraxxion: Orzekea

Last Update: March 27, 2025
 
 
The story of Atoraxxion, the last stronghold built to thwart the Dark Invaders, has finally reached Orzekea after passing through Vahmalkea, Sycrakea, and Yolunakea.
 
The content of Atoraxxion Orzekea will first be available through this week's update, where you can experience the suggested questline centered around Orze and encounter the field monster zones with the current highest difficulty. Following this, the final boss will be updated next week, so please keep this in mind.
 
As you might infer from the term "field monster zones," Atoraxxion Orzekea has a distinct difference from other Atoraxxion biomes. The locations where you previously defeated monsters to obtain items for entering the next area have been changed to field monster zones where you can subjugate monsters.
 
Upon entering Orzekea from the Elvia Realm, you will encounter powerful field monsters within Orzekea. If your sole purpose is the so-called "boss run," you can boldly skip these sections and challenge the final boss immediately after combat with Her Knight, Cathawen.
 
How will Orze's story unfold in Orzekea, and what awaits adventurers at the end of that story? We ask for your keen interest in the soon-to-be-revealed Orzekea.
  • Embark on an adventure to Atoraxxion: Orzekea, the last stronghold to stop the Dark Invaders.
    • Orzekea, the last biome of Atoraxxion, offers both normal and Elvia difficulties.
    • On the first week of the update, you can enjoy suggested quests in normal difficulty and field monster zones in the Elvia Realm.

How to Enter Atoraxxion: Orzekea

[Enter via the Ancient Stone Chamber - Sol Magia]

  • No matter if you've cleared Vahmalkea, Sycrakea, or Yolunakea, you can step into Orzekea by interacting with Sol Magia.
