Adventurers, 

A new update is coming to Black Desert for Xbox One. This update is bringing some much needed bug fixes to the game, as well as Guild Boss Scrolls, World Boss - Kzarka, Quality of life fixes and more. 

World Boss content has been updated. When a world boss monster spawns, a world alert is sent to let everyone know it has arrived, and each boss spawns in a specific location. 

When you try participate in the raid, please make sure to equip suitable gear and stock up on potions for the fight. When you get killed during the raid, you will get a death penalty. The world bosses will despawn if you cannot kill them within 15 minutes. The HP of the bosses is shared across all channels, so it will be a team effort from everyone to destroy them. During the world boss period, force PVP function will be disabled.

To be eligible for rewards, you must deal a decent amount of damage to a world boss. Most adventurers who receive rewards will receive it based on how much damage they have dealt to the boss. Of course, there are outliers, and some adventurers may receive loot based on nothing but luck. 
 

First World Boss : The Lord of Corruption has Risen! 
A new evil is threatening the world of Black Desert. The Lord of Corruption’s ritual is nearly complete, and we need you to put a stop to it before he can truly cross into our realm. 

The world boss, Kzarka, has been added to the game. At certain times, Kzarka will rip a hole through into Serendia Shrine, and that is your chance to strike. Make sure that you are well prepared for this fight, as Kzarka can be a tough nut to crack. 

Recommended AP/DP: 150+AP, 180+DP 
 

▲ Kzarka appears at the innermost altar of the Serendia Shrine.

Kzarka is sometimes immune to all attacks and will then prepare to breathe fire. When he does this, the danger zone will be displayed in red and you have to make sure to avoid this area to survive. If it is your first time participating in a Kzarka raid, it’s better to watch how the other adventurers are evading the attacks to learn his patterns.

Items that drop from Kzarka include: Kzarka’s Sealed Weapon Box, Liverto Weapon Bundle, Mark of Shadow, Shrine Guardian Token, Black Stone(Weapon), Black Stone(Armor), Silver.

These items are not guaranteed for killing Kzarka, but it is possible for him to drop them.

By completing Boss Subjugation quests in your guild, you will be rewarded with Guild Boss scrolls. Only the guild master and guild officers can receive and complete guild quests, as well as the subjugation quests. There are different types of scrolls depending on the size of your guild.

These Boss Subjugation quests can be fairly expensive to initiate, but they each provide you with a Guild Boss scroll which can give you some amazing rewards, assuming you can kill the boss of course. 

We heavily recommend working together with your guild members to try and kill these guild bosses. If all of your guild members die during the quest, you will have 2 minutes to rush back to the boss before he disappears. 

You can earn a whole host of rewards including Liverto Weapons, Grunil armor, Crystals and more from defeating these guild bosses!
