MONSTER

Last week, we conveyed our gratitude for the anticipation surrounding the three new Dehkia monster zones introduced in the Black Desert Global Lab.
Today, we are pleased to announce the addition of the "Crescent Shrine [Dehkia's Lantern Tier 1]".
 
Furthermore, the two monster zones of [Dehkia's Lantern Tier 2] will be unveiled alongside the Land of the Morning Light: Seoul. Without the Sovereign weapon, these zones present a formidable challenge, emphasizing damage reduction and evasion. To ensure the growth and success of our adventurers, we have prioritized the introduction of new artifacts specialized in these attributes.
 
We ask for your patience and understanding as we prepare to bring you these updates as swiftly as possible. Thank you.
Dehkia's Lantern
Crescent Shrine [Dehkia's Lantern]
 
  • Rumors starting to circulate in Sand Grain Bazaar suggest that an adventurer exploring the Crescent Mountains was sacrificed at the Obsidian Altar by a group of Argos Saunils from the Crescent Shrine. According to eyewitness accounts, these Saunils possessed greater power due to a deep void and appeared to have awakened in a state of chaos.
    • Groups of Argos Saunil followers exposed to the void of Dehkia's Lantern have been found at the Crescent Shrine in the Great Desert of Valencia.
 
  • Shine Dehkia's Lantern at designated locations in the Crescent Shrine, and the Argos Saunils will be awakened by the intensified void.
    • Lantern Locations: Void Infested Obsidian Altar

The Crescent Shrine's forces exposed to Dehkia's void will gather more tightly around the Crescent Chief Gatekeeper. The Crescent Chief Gatekeeper's powerful attack permits no defense, so caution is required.
