Amsterdam, the Netherlands — 31 January, 2024 — Korean publisher and developer Pearl Abyss introduced today the newest Black Desert Online update, bringing new high-level content, quality of life improvements, and a new outfit.
Seasoned adventurers will be pleased to learn they can hunt high-level monsters in the new ‘Yzrahid Highlands’ monster zone packed with high-value goods. This active new environment, the fourth addition to the territory, is in Ulukita’s cold, harsh southern region. New key features include:
High-Level Monsters: Designed for veteran players with recommended AP 310 and DP 420 to counter more powerful and challenging monsters
Alternative Playstyle: The prominent ‘Seculion’ monster acts as an ark, storing powerful energy required to mobilise the monsters in the monster zone
High-Value Goods: More diverse and valuable items can be obtained, including Kabua’s Artifact, Flame of Resonance, Kabua’s Fragment, and more
