Lost Ark’s Winter Update Introduces New Solo Mode Raids And Kicks Off The Freja Holiday Event

Lost Ark’s December update is live, introducing the Act 2 and Act 3 Solo Modes to the MMORPG and kicking off the annual holiday event. Both solo modes are tied to Kazeros. Act 2 has players teaming up with the Allied Forces to face Brelshaza on an icy battleground. To participate, players need an item level of 1670 or higher. Act 3 will have players challenge Kazeros Raid Act 2 to deal with Thaemine and new Abyss threats. This act will require an item level of 1680 or higher.

Between now and February 4, players will have access to a free South Rimeria Event Powerpass, which will drop players in Elnead as if they’ve completed the South Rimeria storyline and give them gear with an Item Level of 1650. The pass also lets players skip Tier 3 honing and get started on Tier 4. Note that this is for a single character. So choose wisely.

As mentioned, the December update also kicks off the holiday event. The event, as well as the Steaming Hot Springs mini-game, returns. This includes an event feast and a new event shop where tokens earned by completing daily activities can be spent. Full details on the event and the rest of the update are available in the patch notes on the Lost Ark site.
