Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on February 9, 2022 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 100 updates and is approximately 860.74 MB.

Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Underground) Rework

The Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Underground) rework that was announced during Calpheon Ball is here.

Unlike the ground level of Gyfin where you need to form a party of 5 and move through each area, the underground level was reworked to be a solo monster zone. Following this change, the monsters in the temple have grown significantly stronger, so we recommend this monster zone for veteran Adventurers (Optimal AP: 300 / Optimal DP: 380).

The fights will be focused around the gigantic Gyfin Rhasia Tower of Transfusion found in each of the rooms. There are petrified Ancient Weapons located near the towers, and the Gyfin Rhasia Decimators can be found roaming nearby. You can awaken the petrified Ancient Weapons (Flamen, Guard, Crusher) to fight them. Each of the Gyfin Rhasia have an “emotion” they hold. Defeating them will reward you with different buffs. The buffs give additional damage against monsters of the same emotion. This adds a layer of strategy to your rotation as you will need to take proper advantage of the buffs for efficiency.

Additionally, the path in Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Underground) is long and it can hold as many Adventurers as there are “Towers of Transfusion.” So, your rotation won’t overlap as much with another Adventurer’s rotation. We tried to present Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Underground) as a fresh new monster zone our veteran Adventurers can enjoy. We hope you will enjoy defeating these Ancient Weapons.

 

 

 

● Deep beneath Gyfin Rhasia Temple, petrified Gyfin Rhasia Ancient Weapons that have recalled their memories from the Ancient Kingdom of Orzeca in the distant past have been discovered. These petrified Ancient Weapons contain the "Burdens of Ruin" of Gyfin Rhasia.

▲ Gyfin Rhasia Tower of Transfusion

▲ [Anger] Gyfin Rhasia Crusher	▲ [Denial] Gyfin Rhasia Flamen	▲ [Resolve] Gyfin Rhasia Guard

※ If there are different types of "Burdened" petrified Ancient Weapons near one another, the Ancient Weapons become more powerful as their Burdens become entangled.
● You can obtain the following buffs when you defeat each of the "Burdened" petrified Ancient Weapons:

When defeating [Anger] Gyfin Rhasia Crusher	When defeating [Denial] Gyfin Rhasia Flamen	When defeating [Resolve] Gyfin Rhasia Guard
Stalwart Warrior's Resolve	Burning Rage's Hammer	Vanished Glory's Wisdom
Extra damage to [Resolve] monsters	Extra damage to [Anger] monsters	Extra damage to [Denial] monsters

● The more petrified Ancient Weapons found near the Gyfin Rhasia Tower of Transfusion that are defeated, the more burdens the Gyfin Rhasia Tower of Transfusion absorbs from the defeated petrified Ancient Weapons. The [Ruinous] Butcher of Gyfin Rhasia has a low probability of spawning amongst the mixed "Burdens."
- The Ancient Weapons of [Anger], [Denial], and [Resolve] will deactivate when the [Ruinous] Butcher of Gyfin Rhasia spawns.
- The Lost Civilization's Ruin buff will flow through your body when you defeat [Ruinous] Butcher of Gyfin Rhasia.
- Adventurers with the "Lost Civilization's Ruin" buff will have the following ability:
* A tremendous amount of extra damage to all monsters in the Gyfin Rhasia Temple Underground.

 

Lost Civilization's Ruin

● You can find Gyfin Rhasia Decimators near the Gyfin Rhasia Tower of Transfusion at the Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Underground).
- When you lure Gyfin Rhasia Decimator to the Gyfin Rhasia Tower of Transfusion and defeat it, the burdens of Gyfin Rhasia scatter, and you'll encounter a group of Gyfin Rhasia Decimators.

 

● Added two daily quests you can accept and complete in the Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Underground).
- You can accept and complete the quest with a Lv. 58 or higher character with the Knowledge on the NPC Tulitua (obtained from the Kamasylvia main questline). Also, you can check the quest when you have "Other" activated on Quest Type.
- You can find "[Daily] Chaos From Below" and "[Daily] True Rest" under "[Lv. 58] Gyfin Rhasia in Chaos" from the Recurring tab in the Quest (O) window.

Events

Character

● Made changes to the method of learning skills with effects only applied in Node/Conquest Wars as follows:

Skills with Effects Applied in Node/Conquest Wars
Yianaros's Light	Pilgrim's Steps	Knight's Defense

 - The items [Secret Book] Yianaros's Light/Pilgrim's Steps/Knight's Defense (I to V) that enable you to learn each level of the skills listed in the chart above were combined into [Secret Book] Guild Tactics (I to V).
- The [Secret Book] Guild Tactics (I to V) enables you learn any one of these three skills. However, once you choose to learn one of the skills, you will be unable to learn the other two.'
- Therefore, all the skills used in Node/Conquest Wars were reset, and all Resplendent Medal of Honor items that were exchanged for Secret Books to learn the skills were returned and sent to your storage in Heidel.
- [Secret Book] Yianaros's Light (I to V), [Secret Book] Pilgrim's Steps (I to V), and [Secret Book] Knight's Defense (I to V) in your Family Inventory were converted to Medal of Honor items and sent to your storage in Heidel.

Previously, we alleviated the required EXP per set of Contribution points. This time, we increased the prices of processed trade boxes that can be crafted by purchasing a residence with Contribution points acquired.
