In the MMORPG Black Desert Online, there are great news. The first dungeon for five players has been released and offers instanced boss fights for fixed groups for the first time. We at MeinMMO explain to you how to enter Atoraxion.
What is it about? In the MMORPG Black Desert Online, the dungeon Atoraxion has opened. It is mostly an open area where you can also randomly meet players. However, the area is divided by various boundaries and offers an instanced boss fight only for your group at the end.
Unlike normal areas, only the boss at the end drops loot in Atoraxion. This means that you need to defeat him to truly benefit from the new area. The boss is designed for a group of five people, but is theoretically doable with fewer players – then it will be really hard.
In this video, we see first impressions of Atoraxion:
How do you get to Atoraxion? To be able to enter the area and fight the boss, you need to meet the following requirements:
- Level 57 or higher
- You must have completed the questline “An Invitation from I”
- Either the Awakening or the Succession questline must be completed
If you have met these requirements, you gain access to the Black Spirit main quest “The Last Stronghold, Atoraxion”. During this quest, you need to travel to Vahmakia and create “Talibre’s Tear” in the Ancient Stone Chamber to gain access to Atoraxion.
You can only complete the final task of the questline once per family. If you want to return from Atoraxion to the Stone Chamber, you need to speak with the NPC Sol-Magia.
The different zones present challenges
The entire area is divided into zones separated by fog. To penetrate a fog and advance to the next area, you need certain items.
To complete the final boss fight, all five group members must possess Lucrezia’s Dagger. It is not enough for only the group leader to hold the item.
A detailed guide on where to find all the necessary items and how to best defeat the associated bosses can be found directly at playblackdesert.com.
Why is there a dungeon only now? So far, Black Desert Online relied on open-world areas where players could gain experience together or alone. There were no instanced areas. Therefore, Atoraxion is not a “real” dungeon, except for the final boss.
Players on reddit have so far received the idea well, especially if the rewards are right. The gear score, that is, the strength of your equipment, holds significant value in Black Desert Online.
What do you think about the dungeon concept that Black Desert Online is trying out here? Are you players of BDO and looking forward to it, or do you think it is unnecessary now? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
Slightly trivial but no less important: Where do I actually get a horse in Black Desert Online?
