BLACK DESERT CONSOLE
TEST YOUR COMBAT SKILLS WITH IMOOGI, THE FEARSOME SERPENT BOSS
Featuring massive fangs and a spine-chilling roar, Imoogi is the latest boss to arrive in the Land of the Morning Light on console. Players can challenge Imoogi after successfully completing all preceding tales in Land of the Morning Light. Imoogi requires a different strategy to defeat as the serpent delivers wide area-of-effect attacks. Players must avoid Imoogi’s attacks and focus on destroying an altar in the center of the arena.

BLACK DESERT MOBILE
NEW WIZARD CLASS: IGNEOUS ASCENSION
Black Desert Mobile players can now embrace the Wizard class, casting powerful magic attacks with his Rod and Knife. Wizard bombards his enemies with deadly elemental powers, making him most effective in large-scale battles.
- Lightning Storm: The Wizard summons lightning from above, striking down his enemies within a certain range. He can continuously perform attacks using extra mana.
- Mana Echo: The Wizard reuses the last skill he casted, enabling him to use the same skill repeatedly. Players can strategize to use this ability to deal deadly, unrelenting attacks.
- Teleportation: The Wizard teleports and bypasses enemies in front of him across a certain distance. With enough Mana, he can teleport up to four times when paired with the ‘Mana Echo’ skill.
- Elemental Flow: The Wizard uses this passive skill to gather more mana. Elemental Flow stacks up to five times and can be combined with ‘Mana Echo’ to boost the reused skill and the Wizard’s defense.
To celebrate the arrival of the Wizard class, an array of events await players. Through the daily mission event, players can collect Magic Staves and exchange them for valuable items, such as Chaos Jewel x1/Ah’krad x3 Selection Chest Bundle and Combat Plus (7 Days). Players can also participate in a login event until Monday, September 4, to obtain Sun Crystals and Black Pearls, which will help their journey in Black Desert Mobile.
