Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on November 16, 2022 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 207 updates and is approximately 1.76 GB.

 

Atoraxxion: Yolunakea

Today's update introduces Atoraxxion's third biome: Yolunakea. If Vahmalkea's theme can be called "desert" and Sycrakea's the "deep sea," Yolunakea's theme is that of a "sunlit forest" – designed to present a completely different atmosphere from the other two biomes.

 

With Yolunakea, we paid close attention to the amount of time required to reach its final boss to ensure Adventurers wouldn't spend too much time running through Vahmalkea → Sycrakea → Yolunakea as a party. You can expect to spend less time reaching Yolunakea's final boss, Amarillos, compared to the time it took for Vahmalkea and Sycrakea's boss. (Of course, this is under the assumption everyone in the party understands Yolunakea's mechanics.)

 

As a boss, Amarillos has a total of three phases. Similar to Sycrakea's final boss "Centilutos," all five Adventurers must work together and coordinate their tactics to subdue Amarillos.

And so, we invite you to continue the story started by Vaha and Syca. Unravel the story of Yolu, the third disciple of Dehkia and overcome her ultimate weapon, Amarillos. 

• A path to Atoraxxion: Yolunakea, the Last Stronghold of the Ancients built to defeat the Dark Invaders, has opened.
  
  • Yolunakea, "Atoraxxion's third stronghold," is divided into Normal and Elvia difficulties.

* Atoraxxion: Yolunakea (Season Server only) will be updated later.

How to Enter Atoraxxion: Yolunakea

 

[Enter via Ancient Stone Chamber - Sol Magia]

•  Enter Yolunakea by interacting with the Sol Magia, even if you haven't completed Atoraxxion: Vahmalkea and Sycrakea.
  
  • But, you have to complete [Atoraxxion] Talibre's Tear in which you can interact with the Sol Magia at the Ancient Stone Chamber.

 

[Elribta's Door located in Atoraxxion: Vahmalkea, Sycrakea - Vaha/Syca's Garden]

• Move to Yolunakea after interacting with Elribta's Door located in the following Atoraxxion strongholds:
  • Elribta's Door located in Atoraxxion: Vahmalkea - Vaha's Garden]
  • Elribta's Door located in Atoraxxion: Sycrakea - Syca's Garden]

 

 

 

Yolunakea Main Quest

 

•  Added Yolunakea main questline which tells the story of Yolu, the third protagonist of Atoraxxion.
  
  • Explore Yolunakea's main questline alongside Yaz of the Secret Guards to gain insight into the story of Yolu, the architect of the biome.
  • Yolu's story is connected to Vaha and Syca's stories, so it can be started after completing the Vahmalkea and Sycrakea main questlines via the Black Spirit (,).

* Please note that Atoraxxion: Yolunakea can be completed and Weekly Quest Rewards can be obtained even without completing the main questline. 

Since Atoraxxion: Yolunakea's main questline is connected to Vahmalkea, Sycrakea, and the Mountain of Eternal Winter stories, we recommend you to check out the respective main questlines beforehand in order to be completely immersed in the story.

 

 

Yolunakea

 

• Atoraxxion: Yolunakea has the following areas, which you can proceed through by defeating the spawning monster and bosses.

Area	Spawning Monster	Obtainable Item
Yolu's Nail	[Yolu's Remnant] Veinturam [Yolu's Remnant] Oreturem [Yolu's Remnant] Syketurem [Yolu's Remnant] Vayeturem	Pulsating Tree Vine
Yolu's Query	[Yolu's Remnant] Keluos	Yolu's Arid Fragment
Combine Pulsating Tree Vine and Yolu's Arid Fragment into a [-] shape regardless of the order. Obtain Distorted Tear of Temptation (You can encounter the next area boss)
Yolu's Spine	Area Boss [Yolu's Avarice] Lekra Vuhuma	Yolu's Hot Vine
Combine Distorted Tear of Temptation and Yolu's Hot Vine into a [-] shape regardless of the order. Obtain Soaring Hatred Tear (You can encounter the next area boss)

Combine Soaring Hatred Tear and Yolu's Contorted Lightstone into a [-] shape regardless of the order. Obtain Voidlight Dagger (You can encounter the final boss)
Yolu's Garden	-	-

• Yolunakea's characteristics per area are as follows:
  

Area	Details
Yolu's Nail	Yolu's creations, Oreturem, Syketurem, Vayeturem, and Veinturam, are deep in slumber waiting for the day when the Dark Invaders arrive. A system that detects Dark Invaders is always active and Vayeturem, one of the Ancient Weapons, will explode if there is a overflow of energy.
Yolu's Query	Defensive protocol "Keluos" remains operational here to ward off unauthorized intruders to the stronghold. Once the Sun Control Tower here is activated, you can entrust yourself to the blue aura to move to Yolu's Spine.   (If the party already activated the Sun Control Tower, you can entrust yourself to the blue aura to move without disabling the defense system as long as you obtained Yolu's Arid Fragment.)
Yolu's Spine	This is where you shall face "Lekra Vuhuma," a creation of Yolu bearing a hidden tale. You will need the keys obtained from Yolu's Nail and Query to fight "Lekra Vuhuma."
Yolu's Mane	A system that detects unauthorized intruders is installed here. Depending on the alert level, countless Veinturam will flock to the stronghold's defense, seeking to halt any invaders in their footsteps.
Yolu's Teeth	This is where you shall face the giant alligator Ancient Weapon "Sebekaruk" adorned with Lightstones. You will need to use the keys you've combined and obtained from Yolu's Spine to fight "Sebekaruk."
Yolu's Garden	This is the last area where you can prepare before entering Yolu's Cradle where the final boss slumbers.

Please Note

- You cannot damage other players with "Force PvP" (ALT + C) toggled on while mounting one of the mounts found in Yolunakea. You will, however, lose Karma if you attempt to do so.

- You cannot resurrect until all other party members are killed while fighting in Yolu's Cradle.

- All items except for the Voidlight Dagger and loot dropped from defeating the final boss will be removed once you leave Yolu's Paradise, accessible after defeating "Impassioned Amarillos" in Yolu's Cradle.

- Penalties for dying in Atoraxxion are as follows:

	Normal/Season Server	Elvia Realm Server
All Areas (except Yolu's Cradle)	No penalty	Penalty applied
Yolu's Cradle (Final Boss Fight)	No penalty	No penalty

* You will automatically be kicked out of Yolu's Cradle (final boss area) 4 hours after entering.

Yolu's Thread

•  Yolu's Threads can be found in certain places of Yolunakea.
  
  • Yolu's Threads were designed by Yolu as one of her own defensive measures to halt the onslaught of the Dark Invaders. Unravel these threads to uncover hidden stories or proceed with the main questline.

 

 

Impassioned Amarillos

 

•  The final boss "Impassioned Amarillos" utilizes the power of the Origin of Life each time it falls to assume another form which greatly increases its power to fend off the threat of Dark Invaders.

•  You can obtain "special loot" from Yolu's Paradise, which you gain entry to upon defeating Yolunakea's Last Ancient Weapon, Impassioned Amarillos, twice a week.

[Solo] Atoraxxion - Vahmalkea, Sycrakea

The Solo adventure mode is a "story mode," where adventurers can complete the Atoraxxion main quests on their own and not necessarily in a party. Many adventurers provided us with feedback that they wished to play through the story at their own pace. We hope this update will be a great pleasure for those adventurers.

 

Furthermore, the story that unfolds in Atoraxxion has a deep connection with Illezra, an important figure in Black Desert, so we recommend that all adventurers experience it for themselves.

 

However, Atoraxxion was originally designed as a 'co-op' configuration through all its basic to advanced stages. So, quest completion rewards will only be obtainable through the "5-person Co-op" mode. Additionally, Solo mode is currently only available up to Vahmalkea and Sycrakea. It will be soon updated in Yolunakea once adventurers have played through the content to some extent.

• Added a "Solo" mode so players have the option to proceed with Atoraxxion's main quests alone versus a party of 5.
  • You can begin your solo adventure by pressing the "Enter Solo Mode" button upon entering Atoraxxion via the Sol Magia at the Ancient Stone Chamber

* Elements such as monsters and threads will be applied differently in the two modes: "Solo" and "Party of 5" so that all the Atoraxxion main quests can be completed accordingly.

* Certain threads outside the main questline that require party members to unravel cannot be completed in Solo mode.

 

 

• All "[Co-op]" tags from Atoraxxion's main quests and summaries have been removed with the addition of Solo mode.
  
  • Removed the [Co-op] text from quest names and summaries.
  • Updated certain quest summaries and dialog.

 

• Added information regarding the surrounding terrain so they can be carried out more smoothly for the following Atoraxxion: Vahmalkea quests.
  • [Atoraxxion] Shattered Memory
  • [Atoraxxion] Unacceptable Imitation

[Solo] Atoraxxion Disclaimer

 

- Certain threads unrelated to the main questline will not be available for [Solo] Atoraxxion.

- Items obtained from Atoraxxion are not compatible within the two modes: [Solo] and [Party of 5].

- You cannot obtain certain knowledge via Atoraxxion on [Solo].

* The chance to learn certain knowledge by defeating monsters or the drop rate to obtain Circuit of Special Information items is lower in Solo mode compared to Co-op mode.

Learnable Knowledge & Relevant Items	Unavailable Knowledge & Relevant Items
- Knowledge from the main questline - Knowledge from defeating monsters - Monster Knowledge from Circuit of Special Information items - Scholarly/Adventure Log-related Knowledge from the Field	- Scroll of Dehkima's Records obtained from defeating the last boss - Knowledge obtained from unraveling threads outside the main questline and requiring party members

- [Solo] Atoraxxion content was designed to be soloable. Thus, completing this mode will not count for the weekly Atoraxxion quests that grant you rewards. 

- Depending on the Adventurer's progress, the monster will spawn then vanish in [Solo] Atoraxxion content.

→ Therefore, when reentering during [Solo] Atoraxxion, interact with the object if the monster does not spawn.

(Eg: When reentering [Solo] Atoraxxion after defeating Berurah and you cannot see the next area monster spawning, interact with Syca's Eye: Berurah which summons Berurah to proceed with the next area.

Atoraxxion content additions and improvements

 

• Reduced the number of monsters that have to be defeated during the following Atoraxxion main questline.
  • Atoraxxion: Vahmalkea: number of monsters to defeat 30 → 15
    • Applicable quests (Elvia difficulty included): [Atoraxxion] The Story Thus Far, [Atoraxxion] Start of the Maze, [Atoraxxion] Activation
  • Atoraxxion: Sycrakea: number of monsters to defeat 30 → 15
    • Applicable quests (Elvia difficulty included): [Atoraxxion] Syca's Scale, [Atoraxxion] Master's Warning

 

• Added explanations per biome when entering Atoraxxion.
  • Check the left side of the minimap for each biome description when entering Atoraxxion

•  Added the title that can be obtained after defeating Maleficent Centilutos, the final boss of Sycrakea.

Title Name	Requirement
Really Syca that Place	Defeat Maleficent Centilutos once
Lonely	Defeat Maleficent Centilutos 5 times
Dismantled Syca's Heart	[Elvia] Defeat Maleficent Centilutos once
Schemer of Sycrakea	[Elvia] Defeat Maleficent Centilutos 5 times

 

 

Kamasylvia & O'dyllita Family Stats Quest

A special Family quest has been added that can be accepted after completing the Kamasylvia and O'dyllita main questlines. You can obtain DP +1 and AP +1 for all characters within your Family after completing this quest. We’ve added them in order to provide different ways to increase your family stats other than enhancing your gear. Therefore, we hope it is helpful for Adventurers who have already completed the Kamasylvia and O'dyllita main questlines. We recommend this Family quest also for Adventurers who have not completed these two territories' main questlines as both the Kamasylvia and O'dyllita stories will become even more important in Black Desert in the future.
