Heroes of Arkesia,
Lost Ark’s November update, Day of Prophecy, is upon us. Only you can determine the fate of Arkesia as the long-prophesied war reaches its climax. This new update introduces the final confrontation with Kazeros, a new progression system, and events to help Heroes prepare for the ultimate battle.
Kazeros Raid Act 4: Fortress of Destruction
Journey to the heart of Diaspero to face the Covetous Master Echidna and the Sentinel of the Abyss, Armoche. This challenging raid requires completion of the Rimeria World Quest, Prelude Quest: Destined Trajectory, and Item Level 1700+ for Normal mode or 1720+ for Hard mode.
Kazeros Raid Denouement - Final Day
The climactic battle against Kazeros himself awaits those who clear Act 4. Face the enemy in both his Abyss Lord and Archdemon forms in this ultimate confrontation that determines Arkesia's fate. Entry requires clearing Gate 2 of Act 4 and meeting the Item Level requirements: 1710+ for Normal, 1730+ for Hard, and 1740+ for The First mode (opening on December 3).
Ark Grid System
This new endgame progression system unlocks powerful static and class-specific effects through two main components: Cores and Astrogems. Cores are obtained from Kazeros Raid Act 4 and Kazeros Raid Denouement, and provide combat-related effects. Astrogems enhance these effects and can be earned from Kurzan Front Nefta Operations (1 and 2), Drextalas and Krathios Guardian Raids, 1700+ Chaos Gates auctions, and via crafting through a new NPC.
Paradise Season 2
Running from November 19, 2025, until March 4, 2026, Paradise Season 2 brings new legacy and legacy set effects, orb effects, and more. Quality of life improvements include decreased luck dependency, increased Crucible levels, Hell key transmutation from the start, and the ability to move directly between Paradise dungeons without leaving.
