Lost Ark Rolls Out ‘Hunt For The Guardian Slayer’ Update Featuring New Endgame Content
Lost Ark’s big March update, which was announced last week, is now live with a whole host of new endgame content for the recently-released fantasy MMORPG. Dubbed Hunt for the Guardian Slayer, the update comes with a new storyline, two new islands to explore, new quests to complete, and a challenging new raid for players to take on.
“Experience a new storyline, complete with its own quests, new islands, and cinematic moments. These quests will include a cast of new and returning characters as you learn more about the Sidereals and search for the legendary Kadan, the first Guardian slayer, in your journey to find the final Ark.”
The new Isteri and Illusion Bamboo islands are recommended for players with item levels of at least 1100. Players will also need to complete the Feiton questline alongside the “Yorn - Let There Be Light”, “Whispering Islet - Start of Our Story”, and “Illusion Bamboo Island - End of the Trials” to be able to access the new content.
Hunt for the Guardian Slayer also introduces the new Abyss Raid where a majestic stag boss awaits adventurers who are powerful enough to take him on.
“Similar to the Guardian Raids that players have encountered in their adventures across Arkesia, participants will need to work together to defeat the Guardian Argos before time expires, with a limited number of revives available to the party. As an unrelenting foe, eight players are required to face Argos.”
The new encounter reportedly requires players to be at item level 1400 to be able to defeat Argos in his three phases. Unfortunately, only a handful of players have managed to reach or even get close to 1400 in the month since the game first came out in the west, which begs the question: is Amazon releasing content too soon?
