Ulukita, the Exalted Land
A new monster zone, the Exalted Land, Ulukita, has arrived.
Ulukita is located in the southern part of Mediah and was designed with Mediah’s unique colors in mind. As the zone covers a wide area, you can expect to feel like you are fighting while exploring the region, unlike the existing top zones. Although it requires high AP and DP as it is set to be the best monster zone, you can fight without too much stress as we did not add difficult gimmicks or attacks from monsters. Additionally, you can obtain the new treasure, Origin of Dark Hunger, which can be registered on the Central Market, and Lafi Bedmountain’s Upgraded Telescope.
In this update, two monster zones, Tungrad Ruins and City of the Dead, were added to Ulukita. These are monster zones, so there are no main quests for them, and two more zones will be added later after localization work is done. The update for the additional zones will include the highest grade shoes, Ator’s Shoes, and an exclusive story quest and production that befits the name, Exalted Land. (We will provide more detailed information later)
Furthermore, as Ulukita is currently the zone with the highest requirements in Black Desert, the entire region will be changed to a lawless zone in the future. The rules applied to the existing Valencian desert zone will apply to the lawless zone. In Valencia, when you die as a Fugitive, you are imprisoned in an underground prison located in Roud Sulfur Mine. In Ulukita, you will be imprisoned in an underground prison built within the region. This underground prison is much larger than the one in the sulfur mine and, well, a little scarier. Please keep this in mind. Unlike the existing lawless zones, Adventurers can use Marni’s Realm in Ulukita’s monster zones, so you can choose how you want to play.
The lawless zone will not be patched immediately, and we will provide further guidance when the update is ready. Also, please note that when Ulukita is changed to a lawless zone, the existing desert region will be released from the lawless zone.
- Ulukita, the Exalted Land, has been revealed in southern Mediah.

City of the Dead
Monsters in the City of the Dead can be knocked down by successfully administering a simple gimmick.
When the Tehmelun Messenger, leading the monsters, performs a certain action, using a CC skill (regardless of type) will cause all nearby monsters to fall down.
Then, you will have the Essence of Ulukita buff applied to easily defeat the monsters.
The key is to take advantage of this situation and sweep the monsters away.

Treasure – Lafi Bedmountain’s Upgraded Telescope
- When Ulukita, a region of ancient weapons, the power of darkness, and lawless people of the wilderness, was revealed, Lafi Bedmountain, an ancient language analyst and alchemist, is trying to create new inventions using unique parts found only there.
“Wit’ those parts they be sayin’ be there and me skills, I might be able to forge somethin’ grand! Especially that massive eyeball shaped piece! It be makin’ me heart race fer the first time in ages! May I delve into some research? I’ll be showin’ ye somethin’ mighty useful! Hehehe!”

Berserker
We sought to make improvements to the arsenal of skills the Awakened Berserker could use in PvE. The most common combo made use of [Seismic Blast], [Flow: Split Shot], [Flow: Scatter Shot], [Flow: Slugfest], [Titan Blow], [Flow: Ancient Wave], and while said skills were on cooldown, Berserkers could only use [Blasting] – [Ground Lifting] repeatedly. Today’s update takes the somewhat lackluster [Flow: General Disarray] skill and brought new life into it as [Flame Pummel], which we hope will be used a major skill for PvE situations, and relieve Berserkers from having to repeat [Blasting] – [Ground Lifting] to deal more powerful combos.
Awakening
New Skill – Flame Pummel
- Changed from Flow: General Disarray.
Titan Syndrome
- Changed to only be usable via Quick Slot.

Corsair
We sought to further accentuate the Awakened Corsair’s ranged-focus gameplay as opposed to her more melee-centric Main Weapon skills. With this change, we focused on improving [Wave-breaker Patraca] as a skill for Corsair to keep her opponents at bay, and added the new [Entangling Vortex] skill. These improvements allow her to increase the gap between her foes to even greater range, and we also added the [Surface-slicer Patraca] skill with its Knockdown debuff that can come in handy even when [Wind-piercer Patraca] is on cooldown.

Item
Ornette’s/Odore’s Spirit Essence Family Inventory Registration
Ornette’s Spirit Essence and Odore’s Spirit Essence can now be used directly from the Family inventory without having to transfer them to storage.
This was a frequently requested feature by Adventurers via our official channels, and after much consideration and discussion, we are pleased to announce this news.
Unlike other treasures that add special effects to Adventurers’ adventures, Ornette’s and Odore’s Spirit Essences were considered essential items. While treasure items add convenience and uniqueness to the game, we believed that having them be essential items would prevent Adventurers from fully experiencing the uniqueness of treasure items.
Finding treasures as a personal goal and obtaining them after a long journey (or unexpectedly) is a thrilling and proud experience. However, if this process is considered essential, it may be difficult to provide only enjoyable experiences.
Ornette’s and Odore’s Spirit Essences have been made available through various updates and events, but with today’s update, we have added more convenience and purchasing options through the Central Market. We hope that adventurers will enjoy their adventures in the wider world of Black Desert even more with this update.
- Ornette’s Spirit Essence and Odore’s Spirit Essence can now be placed and used from your Family inventory.
* Automatic use of Ornette’s/Odore’s Spirit Essence can be toggled on again by pressing the Potion Settings via your fairy.
