The Lost Ark June "Wrath of the Covetous Legion" update has officially been revealed, giving players a full-fledged, in-depth preview of what's to come starting this Thursday.
From Thronespire, a new single-player dungeon experience, to the Vykas Legion Raid, Kungelanium Guardian Raid, a new event island, cosmetics and more, here's a breakdown of Lost Ark’s Wrath of the Covetous Legion update.
Lost Ark June 'Wrath of the Covetous Legion' Update Revealed
Thronespire
Kicking things off, Thronespire is a new single-player, 50-level dungeon experience set in a "twisted dimension." Players will be tasked with battling until they run out of time, working to defeat as many floors and enemies as possible before they fall to the Demon Legions.
Completing the first 25 floors grants first-time clear rewards, while the other 25 floors are focused on prestige and completion times. Players will need to be Item Level 1325 to participate.
Vykas Legion Raid
Vykas follows Valtan as the second Legion Raid arriving into the Western version of Lost Ark. In this raid, players will face "dangerously beguiling members of the Covetous Legion" before battling Legion Commander Vykas. No revives are said to be available mid-battle, so players must ready to fight for their lives.
Vykas is an eight-player Legion raid, has three gates, and is complete with new unique characteristics, abilities and mechanics. Players will need to be Item Level 1430 to attempt Normal difficulty, and 1460 for Hard.
Players can participate in Legion Raids after completing the guide quest "[Guide] Notice: Legion Raid." As an added step for the new Vykas raid, players will need to visit the Lunar Knights NPC in Vern castle and start the quest "Blooming Again," which tells the Covetous Legion Commander's story.
Kungelanium Guardian Raid
Described as a "fearsome force of evil" in the Chain War, frost predator Kungelanium has seemingly awoken from his glacial slumber by the re-emergence of the Demon Legions and the Chaos spreading throughout Arkesia.
Joining Deskaluda, Kungelanium will enter the gauntlet of Level 6 Guardians available to challenge in a Guardian Raid. Kungelanium will be available for players to challenge once they reach Item Level 1460 or higher. Like other Guardian Raids, players can attempt to face them alone, with a party or matchmake with up to three other heroes.
Heartbeat Island
This update is also set to debut a new event island, Heartbeat Island. Players can find Heartbeat Island by speaking to Jollous, the festival expert located in major cities, or by sailing directly to it (located near Anikka). Players do not need to complete a quest in a City to enter.
Heartbeat Island invites players to collect Festival Coins through various activities, which can be exchanged for a variety of rewards. There are daily quests that dole out Festival Coins just by relaxing in a designated area, and hourly quests for dancing and defeating Rekiel, the Dancing Queen.
