Blade & Soul: Theater of Mystery releases on December 5 and with it comes a new heroic dungeon, solo dungeon, Dungeon Challenge mode, and in-game events. Details of all that’s coming in the new update are below.

Dreamsong Theater

6-player Heroic Dungeon

Available in Normal and Hard Difficulty

Recommended for Level 55 – HM 17

Players will need to have finished Act 9, Chapter 18: What Remains

Enter the exclusive Dreamsong Theater located on the Street of Songs within Dasari Palace to watch the mysterious masked acrobats and animals of the Dreamsong Theater Troupe perform. There's only one problem – not everyone who enters the theater comes out after the show!

You’ll enter through the pre-show staging area which spotlights the first boss, Kamahage. After defeating him, you’ll be able to view the main event! Mazuko, the troupe’s ringleader has been enchanting and enrapturing the Dasari elite with a hypnotic miasma – before killing them on stage one by one. Bring down the curtain on his nefarious act to gain some impressive rewards.

Notable Rewards Imperial Earring *New legendary earring Mazuko’s Psyche *Critical chance and Critical Damage augment for Legendary Gloves Demon Fang *Exchanges with Skyshadow Orbs for Octagonal Obsidian gems Dreamcatcher outfit set Onyx Scale Onyx Scale Fragment Skyshadow Orb Sacred Vial Pet Pack Dreamcatcher Set

Dungeon Challenge – Dreamsong Theater

Dungeon Challenge is a new mode where players will create a party via the Ranking UI (F11) and compete for the highest score to receive weekly and seasonal rewards based on their ranking. Players will be able to earn the new Dreamsong Challenge Token that can be redeemed through Tower Trader Kangcha for the custom Dreamcatcher Set and psyches that are found in hard-mode dungeons as well as new Legendary Psyches that can be used to upgrade legendary rings and earrings.

The first season, starting on December 5, will pit parties against Mazuko of Dreamsong Theater. At the end of every Dungeon Challenge season, the parties that earn the highest score based on their dungeon completion time and their performance with mechanics will earn the achievement “Dreamsong Theater – Top Rank” and the title Star of the Show. And the parties that place in the top 2 – 10 will earn the achievement “Dreamsong Theater – Elite Rank” and the title Showstopper.

Den of the Ancients

Solo Heroic Dungeon

Recommended for Level 55 – HM 17

Players will need to have finished Act 8, Chapter 20: Restorations

Within the Ajanara Monastery lies the Den of the Ancients, the training grounds of the three immortal spiritual guides called the Alphas.

Face off against Hachi, a staff-wielding Dogman, Machi, a club-bearing Deerman and M'ao, the chakram-throwing Catwoman.

After a 10-hour cooldown, opening Stage 2 will contain even more presents, as well as the Jackpot – Stage 3, and so on and so forth. Each Jackpot will emerge with a 10-hour cooldown, meaning you’ll want to come back as soon as it’s ready to get to the next level – especially if you’re wanting the Dark Dignitary costume that comes from Jackpot – Stage 10.
