MAJOR UPDATES - SYCRAKEA
● Atoraxxion - Sycrakea, the Last Stronghold built to fend off the dark invaders, has been discovered.
- Atoraxxion's second biome Sycrakea has separate difficulty settings akin to Vahmalkea on normal and Elvia Realm settings.
How to Enter Sycrakea
- You can enter Sycrakea regardless of whether you've cleared Atoraxxion: Vahmalkea as long as you are in possession of Talibre's Tear x1.
※ However, you must've also completed the "[Atoraxxion] Talibre's Tear" quest so that you can interact with the Sol Magia inside the Ancient Stone Chamber.
- You can enter through Elribta's Door located in Vaha's Garden of Vahmalkea, Atoraxxion's first biome.
- You can enter Vahmalkea through Elribta's Door located in Syca's Garden in Sycrakea.
Sycrakea Main Questline & Syca's Thread
● Added the new Sycrakea main questline and knowledge category for Syca, the second person of interest in Atoraxxion.
- Complete the Sycrakea main questline to learn more about Syca's story and the hidden side of Atoraxxion, the "Stronghold of Salvation."
- Syca's story is directly connected to Vaha's and will be immediately available upon completing the Vahmalkea main questline.
※ You can still reach Syca's Cradle, the area of Sycrakea's final boss, without having completed the main questline.

Area | Details | ||
Syca's Scale | Steam that rises up from gaps in the unstable surface can cause devastating burns due to the extreme heat. Lure the cold-insulating Ancient Weapons onto these parts to temporarily cool them down, but be careful not to lower the temperature to extreme levels. | ||
Syca's Grave | Stellagia that were installed to serve as filtration devices soon became contaminated by the poisons emitted by the deep sea coral in the vicinity. Worker weapons known as "Mala" that used to collect power also were tainted by the poison, which led them to collect even more poisons that would eventually impact all of Syca's Grave. |
||
Syca's Glare | To enter Syca's Glare, you will need to loot the keys off the ancient weapon bosses Berurah and Serpen in order to pass through the Darkened Dawn. Upon entering Syca's Glare, the enormous Apocros who reigns the skies will appear. |
||
Syca's Garden | This is the last area where you can get ready before entering Syca's Cradle where the final boss slumbers. | ||
Syca's Cradle | The area to make your stand against Syca's Last Ancient Weapon, Maleficent Centilutos. Maleficent Centilutos will charge the Rune Magia to cast and unleash merciless attacks upon all the dark invaders. |
Normal Server | Elvia Realm Server | |
Field (of each server's Atoraxxion) | No penalty | Penalty applied |

- You can obtain such "special loot" from the following quests available via "Syca's Time Capsule" found in Syca's Paradise.
※ Unlike Vahmalkea, you can complete the weekly quest for Sycrakea as long as you have the "Key of the Sunken Dawn" looted from the defeated .

Unlike "Vahmalkea," Atoraxxion's first biome, Adventurers will be able to encounter the bosses guarding each area of Sycrakea. Each Boss has its own unique pattern that will test your mettle, and you will encounter more of those "Thread" puzzles signature to Atoraxxion along the way. Sycrakea hoards a total of seven delightful Threads, five of which you shall run into while completing the main questline. Do note that one of those five Threads are required to move onto the next area.
Once you defeat the bosses and unravel the Threads, you will ultimately make your way to reach Syca's Cradle, where you will find "Maleficent Centilutos." The core mechanic of Maleficent Centilutos lies in "electrical currents." This is directly connected to the "power supply devices" located all over Syca's Cradle, as you can control the amount of electrical power that is supplied unto Maleficent Centilutos, which will determine just how much more safer and easier your the encounter will be. Also, you will need to work together with your party members especially depending on the state of Maleficent Centilutos.
We designed Sycrakea to bit slightly more difficult compared to Vahmalkea, and we can guarantee that those Adventurers who dare brave their chances on the Elvia Realm difficulty will suffer much deaths (and be penalized for it) even before reaching Syca's Cradle. Thus we highly recommend you uncover the weaknesses behind Sycrakea's Ancient Weapons on the normal servers where no death penalty is applied.
MAJOR UPDATES - Florchestra
● The instruments of Florchestra, the maestro of a famous wandering musician named Artina who brought out the musical talent of Shais, have been revealed to the world.Florchestra instruments boast a more exquisite exterior than the old beginner instruments, and their sounds can be modulated through a processor called an Effector. Also, the musical technique differs for each type of instrument. A musical technique refers to the many different ways of playing music and the Effector is a music processor that modulates the sounds of instruments to be more extravagant. You can use a fuller sounding and more beautiful music than with the old beginner instruments by using these two tools to its full extent.
These new instruments were crafted to bring out the talent of skillful Shai Adventurers who enjoy Black Desert's instrumental performance system. Also, even if you're unfamiliar with certain terms, there's no need to worry! Part 1 (The Effector) of "Florchestra Music Class with Maestro Artina" will be released (MMDD) to make it easier for anyone newly stepping into the world of instruments to understand the Florchestra content.

Effects | Description |
Reverb Time | Provides a sense of space by adding reverberation. |
Delay FeedBack | Adjusts the number of echoes. |
Chorus FeedBack | Adjusts the Effector's amount of repeated sounds. |
Chorus LFO Depth | Adjusts the Effector's modulation depth. |
