Black Desert Online Kicks Off War Of The Roses Story Arc And Adds A New Monster Zone

Black Desert Online PC players can now participate in a new form of conquest war as part of the fantasy MMORPG’s new War of the Roses narrative arc. Players can either side with Kamasylvia and O'dyllita as war erupts over the two territories over who will get to sit on the Allmother’s throne.

“Queen Brolina Ornette of Kamasylvia and Queen Viorencia Odore of O'dyllita bolster their respective factions, welcoming all adventurers eager to their cause,” Pearl Abyss intones. “One throne, two successors. Who shall emerge as the rightful queen?”

Players can also head up to the Yzrahid Highlands to take on challenging new monster and earn valuable loot as the new high-level monster zone officially opens its doors. Yzrahid Highlands is guarded by an army of ancient weapons, the largest of which is Seculion, a self-healing construct that someone’s other weapons to its aid.

“Seasoned adventurers will be pleased to learn they can hunt high-level monsters in the new ‘Yzrahid Highlands’ monster zone packed with high-value goods,” the studio announced. “This active new environment, the fourth addition to the territory, is in Ulukita’s cold, harsh southern region.”

Note that you’ll need to have an AP rating of at least 310 and a DP rating of at least 420 to enter the new monster zone. Potential rewards for defeating Seculion and its army of ancient weapons include Kabua’s Artifact, Kabua’s Fragment, Flame of Resonance, Embers of Resonance, and Sealed Black Magic Crystals.
