[Instance Dungeon]

New Instanced Dungeon

The power of time that Tiamat had extracted from all over Apheta Beluslan was stored deep underground in the Apheta Beluslan Fortress, undergoing purification.

3. Dragon Lord’s Throne: Telos - Fixed an issue where some effects of the 'Young Dragon Lord's Roar' skill, used by Tiamat in Telos, were working abnormally.

4. A new instance dungeon ‘Wall of Lament’ has been added.

Tiamat has brought Samael, who was relatively successful in withstanding the experiments of the full-time project, here and is subjecting her to various time-related experiments.

The Daevas find the key location where the power of time is stored and encounter Tragic Samael, the Daeva with a miserable fate.
