Visit an unseen realm to take on challenges in a parallel dimension

Manhattan Beach, CA — October 19, 2022 — Today, Pearl Abyss launched Abyss One: The Magnus in Black Desert Online, allowing players to visit an alternate realm that coexists alongside the world of Black Desert. Starting today, players can also earn ghoulish goodies during Black Desert Online and Black Desert Mobile’s Halloween events.

Abyss One: The Magnus

The Magnus is a realm separate from the Black Desert world without the limitations of time and space. Players in The Magnus can travel to Abysses, where they will encounter storylines that explore the anomalies of this new world. Adventurers must overcome unique challenges with their wits, creativity, and Magnus-exclusive gear to complete missions. Watch the Abyss One: The Magnus trailer here.

Players can enter The Magnus through wells located in large Black Desert cities such as Balenos, Serendia, and Calpheon. The Magnus can also be used as a transportation system to freely move items across different warehouses in the world. 

Once players complete all main quests in The Magnus, they will receive:

  • A “PEN (V) Boss Defense Gear,” one of the best gear for protecting new Adventurers
  • The ability to travel between large cities through The Magnus
    • Please note that traveling consumes silver if players exit The Magnus from a different portal than the point of entrance
  • The ability to access all inventory items regardless of their location in the game
    • Players can move and store inventory items from warehouses in large Black Desert cities through a storage keeper
  • An “Abyssal Legacy” skill, allowing players to combine two skills into a single, more powerful skill
    • The “Abyssal Legacy” skill can be learned once per class. Players obtain this skill by using the “[Secret Book] Abyssal Legacy” item
