NCSoft, the renowned developer behind the popular MMORPG Lineage M, has officially launched a new party dungeon named ‘Des 나이트’ on March 19, 2025. This update aims to rekindle the fond memories of players by revisiting the classic adventure routes from the original game. The ‘Des 나이트’ dungeon invites users to experience a blend of nostalgia and fresh challenges, appealing to both seasoned veterans and newcomers alike.
The dungeon is designed specifically for characters that are level 70 or higher and can accommodate a party of four players. Participants can choose from three difficulty settings: Normal, Difficult, or Hell, depending on their bravery and skill levels. This versatility allows a broader range of players to engage in the content, creating opportunities for cooperative gameplay.
The dungeon experience is structured in three notable stages. Players will first find themselves in the Talking Island Dungeon at the second floor, where they must defeat the formidable boss, Baphomet. Successfully overcoming this challenge will grant access to the Hidden Terminal, which then leads to the Grendel Dungeon’s seventh floor via a magical portal. At this final stage, party members confront the ultimate boss, Des 나이트. Only by vanquishing Des 나이트 can players complete the dungeon and claim their rewards.
Upon successfully conquering the dungeon, players receive rewards that vary based on the difficulty level they selected. These rewards include the Des 나이트 Equipment Box, Adena (the in-game currency), and experience points. Opening the Des 나이트 Equipment Box can yield valuable items such as the Des 나이트 Spirit Stone, crucial for crafting the legendary ‘망자의 팔찌’ and other equipment like the Des 나이트 Gauntlets and Boots.
For those who are particularly committed, clearing the dungeon 20 times unlocks a special reward: the Des 나이트's Spirit Stone Box, enhancing the overall experience. Weekly rankings will also determine additional prizes like the Des 나이트's Amusement Box, Des 나이트's Spirit Stones, and Combat Reinforcement Scrolls. Thus, the design not only rewards players for skillful dungeon runs but also encourages them to teamwork and persist in the game.
To heighten excitement surrounding the dungeon's launch, NCSoft has produced a special promotional video that visually narrates the dungeon's progression, culminating in the encounter with the mayhem and mystique of Des 나이트. This video is available for viewers on the official Lineage M YouTube channel.
Furthermore, NCSoft has initiated multiple events to commemorate this update, enhancing user engagement further. From now until March 21, 2025, a postal event delivers various exciting packages to players daily at 7 PM, such as the Divine Transformation Package, Divine Magic Doll Package, Divine Holy Relic Package, and Skill Card Package Box. However, accounts that have not logged into the game for the past ten days will regrettably not be eligible for these rewards.
In addition to this mail distribution, NCSoft will launch a Weekend Dungeon Buff event from March 22 to 23, granting players extended access of the dungeons ‘Lastabad’ and ‘Island of Nightmare’ from four hours to eight hours. Moreover, the entrance level requirement for these dungeons will be lowered from level 70 to 60, making the experience accessible to a larger player base.
Players can also benefit from completing specific event quests designed to enhance their experience points while engaging with the weekend dungeons. The scheduled event not only provides rewards but also promotes a sense of community as players band together to overcome challenges in the redesigned environments.
This update and the related activities represent NCSoft's dedication to enriching the gaming experience for Lineage M fans. Given the game's legacy and continual updates, it is clear that the developers are committed to ensuring that players not only feel nostalgia but also encounter novel elements that keep the game fresh and exciting.
