The Russian edition of Lost Ark introduces the Mystery of Rune-Liar update, a fresh chapter in the Kadan storyline that also reintroduces the Acrasia Express event. Alongside new content, the developers released a compact overview trailer to give players a sense of what lies ahead and how the story threads connect in this next installment.
Central to the mystery is the voyage to the Run-Liar island, a journey that begins when players converse with the Knight of the Moon Order in Bern. That dialogue opens a path to a deeper quest line for those who choose to press further. For the most committed adventurers aiming to maximize progression, the payoff is Alphonse Vedice’s coveted deck, a relic tied to the broader lore and a progression system prized for its strategic value.
The Akrasia Express story mode targets players who want to accelerate their ascent, offering a faster route to item level 1445. Beginning at character level 1302, new missions unlock for heroes, with rewards scaling in tandem with gear ratings. This design creates a tangible incentive for players to continue exploring the evolving narrative while steadily enhancing their combat capabilities.
Endgame options receive a broader expansion with Secrets of Rune-Liar, introducing new ghost ship raids. Accessible to heroes who reach a battle rating of 1415 or higher, these encounters challenge teamwork and individual skill. One raid transports players to a location near the Papuanica continent, adding a fresh directional cue for exploration and combat. In addition, some players have reported a workaround to navigate a PS Store access restriction, underscoring the ongoing community effort to maximize playtime and keep content flowing to fans facing regional constraints. This dynamic illustrates how online gaming communities adapt to platform rules while pursuing the same adventures available elsewhere in the game.
