Hello, this is Director Lee Jong-joo.
The Lunar New Year is already upon us. With an extended holiday this year, including a designated temporary holiday, it promises to be a meaningful and restful time for many. I hope everyone has a wonderful celebration.
This week, we’re rolling out the updates we previously announced. Let’s dive into the details!
Final Chapter of "A Cagesong of the Ocean"
The concluding chapter of A Cagesong of the Ocean is here to bring the story to a dramatic and emotional close.
This final chapter is 2-3 times longer than a standard story chapter, packed with intricate dialogue and cinematic scenes.
In the original work, the ending of A Cagesong of the Ocean was rich with meaning but could be difficult to fully grasp on a first playthrough. Even though I’ve played it many times, I took extra care during this update to revisit and refine every detail, ensuring the narrative is as impactful as possible.
For this chapter, themed around the journey of a bard, I strongly recommend avoiding the skip button. Take the time to enjoy the BGM and the voice acting of the heroes—it will enhance your experience.
In the ending scenes, the timing of the music and visuals has been carefully synchronized to increase immersion. As such, some dialogue scenes may progress more deliberately than usual.
There are many moments in this chapter that are best experienced firsthand in the game, so while I’ve taken several screenshots, I’ll only reveal a few to preserve the impact.
Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t forget to claim your rewards using the revised coupon code! Thank you for your continued support, and have a fantastic Lunar New Year!
A somber, blue elegy that suits Duorl perfectly.
It's reassuring to have someone watching your back!
What does the inscription on the gravestone say?
In charge of support.
Is something enormous approaching!?
Una, can you finally speak clearly now?
The long journey has come to an end with A Cagesong of the Ocean, and now the original story of The Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch remains. The prologue is also in the final stages of work, so it seems that the promised release on February 7th will be possible without any issues.
A Cagesong of the Ocean: Extreme II
The advanced difficulty level of the A Cagesong of the Ocean, Extreme II, is being added as previously announced.
While the difficulty isn't directly comparable to the A Tear of Vermillion due to differences in monster placement and skills, the level scaling has been balanced.
Players who cleared A Tear of Vermillion: Extreme II with ease should find this challenge manageable.
In Cagesong of the Ocean, Extreme II, you can obtain shoes up to Tier 21, so be sure to take note!
Cave Sweep Function
With the addition of the Extreme II difficulty, the need to run through caves has increased. Considering the accumulated fatigue from repeated runs, we’ve looked into a way to make this process more convenient.
Finally, the much-anticipated Cave Sweep function is being added!
While features like sweeping or skipping can be a double-edged sword, we believe this functionality is the right choice for this update.
The feature will be accessible via the Cave button on the adventure map. Although we initially planned to provide both individual sweeps and full sweeps, issues were identified with the individual sweep function.
After deliberation, we decided to introduce at least the full sweep feature in this update, with the individual sweep being considered for a future update.
New Boss: Dogma's Threat and Corridor of Validation
The final boss of A Cagesong of the Ocean, Dogma, will make its appearance in Threat of Gagharv and Corridor of Validation.
Dogma will become available starting next Monday due to the existing schedule for Threat of Gagharv.
Unlike previous bosses, Dogma features unique mechanics involving the continuous generation of Right Arm and Left Arm parts.
Successfully and swiftly neutralizing these parts is critical for targeting the main body, Dogma.
Each time the Right Arm or Left Arm is destroyed (up to 3 times), the main body takes increased magic damage.
The arms have a maximum damage cap per hit, favoring heroes with high attack counts over raw damage.
Magic damage deals double the cap compared to physical damage, making magic-using heroes particularly effective in this encounter.
Dogma will also be added to the Corridor of Validation, a personal content mode. To make this available sooner, it will be accessible immediately after the update.
(Note: As you may know, the first-clear rewards in the Corridor of Validation are unique for each boss.)
If you haven’t yet played the current Corridor of Validation (Octum), we recommend completing it before the update to ensure you don’t miss out on rewards.
