NCSoft offers a preview of Blade and Soul’s new Shrouded Ajanara dungeon ahead of its release this Thursday. The upcoming dungeon will follow the events of the Altar of the Infinite dungeon and the narrative that started back in May, sending players to privately train with Grandmaster Nayul as they prepare to face the Dark Lord.

“Grandmaster Nayul has invited you to join him for his training at the Ajanara Monastery. When you two meet he reveals to you that he has been sensing a shift in the realm that may endanger everyone. Is it possible that the Dark Lord is trying to break through the Dark Realm and return? To prepare for the challenges ahead, you must train in an environment that mirrors the cold power of the Dark Realm and face a challenging opponent.”

Shrouded Ajanara is a solo dungeon for level 60 players with Hongmoon Levels 25 and up and is available in Easy, Normal, and Hard versions. Players who successfully complete the dungeon will have the chance to obtain various rewards such as upgrade materials, Dawnbright Amulet Chests, and Ajanara Special Insignia Chests. They’ll also be able to earn new achievement and earn additional rewards by completing the dungeon’s accompanying quests.

The Shrouded Ajanara dungeon will be opening its doors with the release of the Dawn of Darkness update on August 10th.

The Dawn of Darkness update includes:

  • Shrouded Ajanara – This is a solo dungeon for players who are Level 60 HM 25+. After receiving and invitation from Grandmaster Nayul, players join him for training tat the Ajanara Monastery. The grandmaster has sensed a worrisome shift in Chaos, hinting at the possible return of the Dark Lord. As such, Ajanara has mirrored the freezing cold environment of the Dark Realm, and will pit players against challenging foes. With a series of quests to complete and scaling rewards depending on which difficulty players complete the dungeon, Shrouded Ajanara will put players to the ultimate test. The dungeon also comes with eight new Achievements and three Player Titles to unlock.
  • Frozen Vipercap Cavern – Venture into this icy cave and players will discover that the mushrooms within are not the friendly (or edible) kind. Players must defeat waves of mutant mushrooms in order to take on the Giant Golden Vipercap boss. The faster groups of players can clear the dungeon, the better the rewards, so be sure to prioritize speed and damage.
  • Daily Challenge Refresh – Daily Challenges are getting a new system that lets players accumulate up to two additional days’ worth of Daily Challenge rewards. The Daily Challenge UI has been updated to show players how many Daily Challenge rewards are ready to be claimed.
