Latest update lets players carry one save across PlayStation, XBOX, Steam, and Epic Games Store
Manhattan Beach, CA — August 13, 2026 – Pearl Abyss has released Edania: Part 2 for Black Desert, opening the long-awaited “Inner” region of Edania and introducing new endgame challenges, bosses, hunting grounds, and gears.
First revealed in August 2025, Edania is a demonic endgame realm divided into an “Outer” region ruled by demon kings who have inherited the power of the gods and an “Inner” region where the gods themselves exert their influence.
With today’s update, Adventurers can venture deeper into Inner Edania for the first time and confront the immense powers of Agris, Markthanan, Elion and Aal, four powerful beings that have long played a role in Black Desert’s lore.
Six New Hunting Grounds Await in Edania
Edania: Part 2 introduces six new hunting grounds designed for high-level Adventurers, each offering unique encounters, mechanics and rewards:
- Agris’ domain – Aphrodon Temple
- Markthanan’s Domain – Hermesia Inner Castle
- Elion’s domain – Magaia Temple
- Aal’s domain – Aresion Temple
- Elion’s Domain – Scales of Judgment (3-Player Party Zone) Elion’s domain
- Hadum’s Domain – Event Horizon
The recommended stats rise progressively across the new areas, with Event Horizon requiring 420 AP and 505 DP, making it the most demanding of the newly added monster zones. Meanwhile, Scales of Judgment stands apart as a dedicated three-player party monster zone, where Adventurers must work together to maintain the balance between opposing forces.
Four New Bosses and the Battle for Throne of Edana
Edania’s Inner region introduces new bosses: Aphrodon (Agris), Emesia (Markthanan), Magaia (Elion) and Aresion (Aal). Each boss has its own minimum Attack and Defense requirements, ranging from 405/485 to 420/505.
Adventurers can take on one Edana boss per week through a dedicated weekly quest. Completing the challenge rewards an Edana Rising Token, which can be used to enter the Throne of Edana.
The Throne of Edana puts Adventurers against one another for control of each region. The current Edana must defend their position against challengers, with the final Adventurer standing becoming the new Edana and earning exclusive privileges and rewards.
New Accessories: Ekleta and Apeiron
Two new accessories have been added to expand endgame progression. While the two ultimately share the same maximum stats, they offer different progression paths. Ekleta can be obtained by converting high-grade Kharazad accessories and can be enhanced using materials specific to each accessory slot.
Apeiron, meanwhile, can be obtained directly as loot from the new hunting grounds and can also be traded through the Central Market.
This gives Adventurers two distinct approaches to pursuing the new gear, whether they prefer upgrading existing equipment or acquiring and developing new accessories through gameplay and the in-game economy.
New Outfit “Godslayer’s Armor” and Crystals
The update also introduces new outfit, Godslayer’s Armor, which can be crafted by collecting Embers of Ynix from the Edania’s Inner region. The new outfit represents equipment imbued with Inyx’s power and can be obtained through a quest at the Ancient Foresight cave near the Radiant Lands.
Additional progression items include the new Wandering Origin Crystal, which can be crafted using materials obtained within the Inner region, as well as new artifacts and consumable items.
Discover the Tachyon Legacy
Adventurers exploring the new region may also encounter the Tachyon Legacy, hidden throughout the region. Discovering the legacy leads to a special trial; those who successfully complete it can obtain Agris Gold Coins.
The coins can be accumulated and exchanged for valuable rewards, including Cron Stones, Nev’s Fragment, Advice of Valks (+250) and Twilight of the End accessories.
The update currently focuses on opening Edania’s Inner region and its new gameplay content, while the next chapter of Edania’s story is planned for a future update. Pearl Abyss plans to introduce the final Hadum boss fight as the finale to Edania’s new main questline in September, continuing the overarching story of Black Desert.
