• Awakening or Succession questline

The first part of this questline is talking to many different NPCs in the Lily Valley Inn.

Required Items:

• 100G Gold Bar. (10 milllion silver)
• 5 different mats to make Talibre’s Tear (removed in patch October 12, 2022)

Atoraxxion Quest Tips for Heidel Inn:

• Grace Lauren is on the second floor balcony
• the mercenaries are on the very top floor.
• The quest window “Navigate” button doesn’t navigate stairs most of the time.
• if you get stuck, look around for beams of light

After Heidel, you will be led to Ancient Stone Chamber to do some more talking.

This is also where the entrance to Atoraxxion is.

• Quest: [Atoraxxion] Risen Ancient Weapon can be done solo.

NOTE: The questline will soon have you defeat 15 Atoraxxion mobs. Unless you chose the solo mode, these monsers are very difficult solo.

“[Atoraxxion] Start of the Maze” is the name of the quest in which you have to kill 15 Ancient Weapons.

WARNING: If you exit Atoraxxion for any reason, all key pieces you have aquired will be deleted.

NEVER EXIT ATORAXXION!!! hahaha! Just teasing, but it feels that way once you are in. 🙂

WARNING 2: In party mode, try to stick together!! There is no map function inside Atorraxion. If you seperate from your party, it can be hard to find them again, if you are new to the dungeon.

Atoraxxion Zones & Key Upgrades

Some of the zones are locked and need keys to open.

Key parts are dropped by mobs you fight while going from puzzle to puzzle.

In the first two zones you enter, you must fight mobs until each player has 5 Vaha’s Cold Thorns.

These make your first key, Vaha’s Dried Fang.

This key is then upgraded as you obtain more parts by defeating bosses.

Atoraxxion Dungeon Mechanics

Each Atoraxxion Gateway requires a unique key.

Each Atoraxxion key is made and then upgraded by monster parts you pick up from killing mobs and two bosses.

Key Upgrade Path:

Vaha’s Dried Fang > Vaha’s Burning Fang > Vaha’s Twisted Fang > Lucretia Dagger

These fangs (keys) get you through locked gateways like in the image below.

Atoraxxion gateways only stay open for a couple minutes, then lock again. Why? Pure torturous reasons, to be sure! 🙂

You can get through a gateway if your party member unlocks it, but this isn’t really a good thing!!!

Check first to make sure you have all the parts you need before progressing through a gateway.

Each party member needs ALL key parts.

Atoraxxion Key Part Requirements:

• Vaha’s Cold Thorn x5
• Searing Heart Piece x1
  
• Frozen Shell of Reason x1
  
• Vaha’s Whispering Bell x1
  

Atoraxxion Puzzles

There are 5 main puzzles you will have to win in order to progress in the main quest line for Atoraxxion.

• Puzzle 1: Balance the Two Platforms with Weighted Boxes
• Puzzle 2: Simmon Says: Mimic the Ancient Weapon
• Puzzle 3: Memorize the Red/Blue Light Patterns of 4 Light Towers

3. Press {KeyBind:Attack2} the item to resurrect the player.

Cooldown: 5 min

※ Does not restore lost EXP.

Stage 1: Seperate to 50% HP

• 2 players charge Lucretia and draw him to a corner
• 2 players charge Urukios and draw to a seperate corner
• Keep two bosses seperate or they will perform a devastating AOE attack
• 1 player on the trash that spawns in the middle room
  • attack the three towers, which spawns circles on the floor
  • draw the adds to the circles to kill them over the circles, which greatly increases damage to them AND bosses
  • don’t allow mobs to get close to Lucretia or Urukios, or they will heal them
• DPS both bosses down to 50% at the same time.
• At 50% HP, one boss will go immobile and stiff before the other, then quickly move to the other boss until both are immobile

Stage 2: Color Match Floating Orbs

• Middle mobs will disappear
• Lucretia and Urukios will slowly walk to the center and fuse.
• Player with boss agro should keep him in a corner
• Avoid floating rocks, which CC and explode if you touch them
• Colored orbs will spawn and follow the last player to go near them
  • Colored orbs need to be taken to the matching colored tower.
  • Avoid stealing other player’s orb by running as a team in a clockwise direction
  • Avoid using dash skills, if having trouble (it is sometimes a bit glitchy)
  • When a tower has been matched to an orb and completed, it will loose its color
  • If a tower is not matched fast enough, it will spawn a wave of mobs
  • When done correctly, boss will become immobile and take more damage

Stage 3: Lava

• Keep Urukios in a corner until he starts lava attack
• A beam of red will strike the ground and quickly kill all who are around it
• These kill zones do NOT disappear and this is why you need to strategize ahead of time and be careful how to move Urukios around the arena. (Don’t block yourself in/out)
• Pull Urukios in an orderly manner, so you still have a safe area to stand in.

Atoraxxion Travel Tips

• World map doesn’t work and it’s easy to get lost at first. Stick with your group.
• After every boss is defeated, make sure you ask if everyone picked up the boss part(s) needed to make keys
• There are teleporters scattered throughout Atoraxxion, called “Sol Magia”
• Sol Magia will teleport you back to the previous zone or back to the starting zone of Vaha’s Sky
• If you use a Sol Magia to teleport back to Ancient Stone Chamber, your key parts will be deleted.

Atoraxxion Pots

• The middle zone, Vaha’s Heart, has a statue you can buy pots from and repair. It looks like a Sol Magia, but is called “Vaha’s Heart, Atoraxxion Exchange.”
  • 3 Unique Party Pots (Duration: 20 sec. Cooldown 1 minute)
    • HP Recovery Greatly Increased for 20 sec
    • Movement Speed +30%
    • Debuff Resistance Against Monsters +100%

Vahmalkea Matchlock

You can also purchase a Vahmalkea Matchlock.

Matchlock Cost:

• Vaha’s Cold Thorn x2

Note that it is only temporary and lasts 2 hours.

Can’t be used outside of Atoraxxion.

Vahmalkea Matchlock is good for shooting Putoruim in the sky.

They like to hang out of reach in the air and attack you.

Their attacks and CC are can kill you quickly, especially if you can’t reach them!

Atoraxxion Party & PVP

• All of the zones, besides the last zone, are open to other players outside your party.
• The bad part about this is they can interact with and mess up your puzzle.
• They can also flag up and attack you while your back is turned and you’re in deep thought about the puzzles! LOL!
• Only the final boss zone, Vaha’s Cradle, is a private instance created just for your party.
• Party members can be recruited at any point before Vaha’s Cradle.
• Recruiting another to replace any party member could mean going back to the beginning zone and starting over. (Because all party members need ALL key parts to make a Lucretia Dagger.)
• If a member is disconnected during the final boss, he will be ejected from Vaha’s Cradle, not have his Lucretia Dagger, and log back into the previous room. (Be locked out of the final boss fight.)
• The final boss instance can NOT be reset without starting over and making a new Lucretia Dagger.

Solo Atoraxxion

Copied Patch Notes below from:

https://www.naeu.playblackdesert.com/en-US/News/Detail?groupContentNo=4265&countryType=en-US

The Solo adventure mode is a “story mode,” where adventurers can complete the Atoraxxion main quests on their own and not necessarily in a party. Many adventurers provided us with feedback that they wished to play through the story at their own pace. We hope this update will be a great pleasure for those adventurers.

Furthermore, the story that unfolds in Atoraxxion has a deep connection with Illezra, an important figure in Black Desert, so we recommend that all adventurers experience it for themselves.

However, Atoraxxion was originally designed as a ‘co-op’ configuration through all its basic to advanced stages. So, quest completion rewards will only be obtainable through the “5-person Co-op” mode. Additionally, Solo mode is currently only available up to Vahmalkea and Sycrakea. It will be soon updated in Yolunakea once adventurers have played through the content to some extent.

• Added a “Solo” mode so players have the option to proceed with Atoraxxion’s main quests alone versus a party of 5.
  • You can begin your solo adventure by pressing the “Enter Solo Mode” button upon entering Atoraxxion via the Sol Magia at the Ancient Stone Chamber

* Elements such as monsters and threads will be applied differently in the two modes: “Solo” and “Party of 5” so that all the Atoraxxion main quests can be completed accordingly. * Certain threads outside the main questline that require party members to unravel cannot be completed in Solo mode.

• All “[Co-op]” tags from Atoraxxion’s main quests and summaries have been removed with the addition of Solo mode.
  • Removed the [Co-op] text from quest names and summaries.
  • Updated certain quest summaries and dialog.

• Added information regarding the surrounding terrain so they can be carried out more smoothly for the following Atoraxxion: Vahmalkea quests.
  • [Atoraxxion] Shattered Memory
  • [Atoraxxion] Unacceptable Imitation

Solo Atoraxxion Disclaimer

• Certain threads unrelated to the main questline will not be available for [Solo] Atoraxxion.
• Items obtained from Atoraxxion are not compatible within the two modes: [Solo] and [Party of 5].
• You cannot obtain certain knowledge via Atoraxxion on [Solo]. * The chance to learn certain knowledge by defeating monsters or the drop rate to obtain Circuit of Special Information items is lower in Solo mode compared to Co-op mode.

• [Solo] Atoraxxion content was designed to be soloable. Thus, completing this mode will not count for the weekly Atoraxxion quests that grant you rewards.
• Depending on the Adventurer’s progress, the monster will spawn then vanish in [Solo] Atoraxxion content. → Therefore, when reentering during [Solo] Atoraxxion, interact with the object if the monster does not spawn. (Eg: When reentering [Solo] Atoraxxion after defeating Berurah and you cannot see the next area monster spawning, interact with Syca’s Eye: Berurah which summons Berurah to proceed with the next area.
