Three New Pillars Expand Atoraxxion on Console
Pearl Abyss has released a substantial update for Black Desert on Console. It adds three key chapters to the Atoraxxion dungeon saga: Yolunakea, Orzekea, and The Final Gladios. The move marks a clear shift in the ongoing story, bringing fresh lore and tougher challenges across the Atoraxxion dungeons.
Yolunakea Opens the Third Gate
The doors to Atoraxxion: Yolunakea are now open. This third stronghold was built by the ancient architect Yolu. It offers two difficulty modes, Normal and Elvia, and players can access them through the Sol Magia. You don’t need to have cleared the earlier dungeons to join in, such as Vahmalkea or Sycrakea. Teams will team up with Yaz of the Secret Guards to uncover Yolu’s history and purpose.
Orzekea: The Series Climax and New Loot Loop
Orzekea stands as the final biome in the Atoraxxion arc, telling the tale of Orze, the last Dehkima. This zone is playable in Normal and Elvia formats and features zones meant for high-level foes. Access is available through the Elvia side, where players face off against a potent Atoraxxion weapon. After the last boss falls, a new area called Orze’s Paradise opens, and rare loot can be earned twice per week. The update also introduces a five-player co-op mode, letting a group of Adventurers link up to beat the final boss together.
Solo Atoraxxion: A New Personal Path
Black Desert on Console now includes a Solo Mode for Atoraxxion. Players can tackle the main lines of the story and explore the dungeons alone, without needing a full party. To start, hit the Enter Solo Mode option in the Sol Magia’s Ancient Stone Chamber and begin your independent adventure.
The Final Gladios: A Tough Solo Test
The Atoraxxion tale closes with The Final Gladios, a high-stakes challenge designed for veterans. You unlock this solo trial after finishing all suggested tasks from Vahmalkea, Sycrakea, Yolunakea, and Orzekea. Completing The Final Gladios rewards players with the Atoraxxion Final Selection Box, which can grant either a Primordial Hammer or an Ancient Hammer once per family.
Season: V Brings Fresh Rewards
Alongside the big story chapters, Season: V has begun for Black Desert on Console. Players can rake in a wide array of rewards by pushing their Season Character to level 60 and beyond. The Season kick-off started on October 1 and will run through December 24, 2025. The new season gives a steady path for players who want ongoing goals and consistent loot.
Closing the Gap Between Console and PC
This update shows Black Desert on Console moving closer to its PC counterpart in terms of content. The team hints at more big drops, with the Edania update set to arrive on November 13, bringing further surprises and additions. The overall push underscores a continued effort to keep console players in step with PC fans.
What Players Can Expect Next
Fans can look forward to a steady stream of new material that strengthens the console version. The mix of new story chapters, a solo path, and a weekly loot loop should appeal to both lone players and groups. The addition of a five-player co-op, alongside hard-hitting solo options, provides a flexible way to approach the challenges.
