Blade And Soul Opens A New Chimera Lab Dungeon, Auto-Combat Zone, And More Tomorrow
Something sinister awaits Blade and Soul players this holiday season with the opening of the Chimera Lab’s new Demonsbane dungeon. The new dungeon will open its doors on December 7th with the release of the martial arts-inspired MMORPG’s Dark Awakening update.
“This new Demonsbane dungeon picks up where we left off at the end of Grim Nexus,” said NCSoft. “You follow a mysterious trail and discover pretty quickly who’s at fault. But the horrors you uncover will challenge your courage and strength!”
In addition to the new dungeon, the update will also open up a new experimental auto-combat zone called Darkweald which will allow players to automatically hunt monsters and gather loot. Players can also expect a new holiday-themed Treasure Trove event, a new battle pass, new accessories and equipment, and a handy dandy gear guide to help new players get suited up to face the challenges the game has to offer.
This update includes:
- Chimera Lab Dungeon – Picking up after the events of the Grim Nexus dungeon, the Chimera Lab has been uncovered and the foul Ebondrake are working hard to regain their evil power. Follow the mysterious trail through the dungeon to uncover and defeat the horrors that lie within. Chimera Lab is a Demonsbane dungeon, which increases in both difficulty and rewards the more players clear the dungeon.
- The Darkweald Auto-combat Zone – The mysterious new Darkweald area is one filled with automotons and shadows. While no one knows quite how it came to be, it’s time to explore the area to uncover its secrets. Use auto-combat to conduct research through destroying anything and everything that moves, then collect rewards, including increased XP and loot.
- Equipment Guide and New Accessories – Rounding out the free update is a much-requested quality of life update, the Equipment Guide. Players can now easily track and plan their gear upgrades to better progress through the challenges that Blade & Soul brings. Plus, this update will also add new accessories for players to add to their repertoire of deadly gear.
More information about Dark Awakening will be revealed during a livestream later today. You can also make your way over to the Blade and Soul official site for a brief rundown of the updates contents.
This week, @bladeandsoul adds its Dark Awakening update, which will open Battle Pass Season 6, add a new dungeon, open the Winter Treasure Trove, and much more. https://t.co/ODEciXjcls pic.twitter.com/7YYYi42nc5
