Disclaimer: I will be directly translating the GM Note from KTERA on Nexon word-for-word as much as possible, so the original writer is not related to Essential Mana. However, I will provide my own comments in PINK to point out some parts people may misunderstand or have no idea what it is talking about. This is because the Writer of this GM Note used both (parentheses) and [brackets].

How do you do? This is Dungeon Creator Bängbäng. (Note: 방방. It’s not “bang bang” from shooting guns.)

Today I’ve brought a dungeon that was created to fit the concept of upcoming April Fools called “Liar Tarski’s Playground” to share with everyone.

We shall take a peek on the dungeon’s design and things to expect.

[Why this dungeon this time around?]

TERA team have been concerned about what they can do to bring more quality contents while playing TERA. (Believe it or not, it’s true?!) However, we could not create enough contents within every season update, unable to maintain the motivation to playing the game until next season update. For that Reason, we’ve tried to create various contents to fill in those blanks.

Also, BAMARAMA being called “End-Game Content(?)” was also part of our concerns.

So this time we have decided to bring a new dungeon after Dreadspire during the off season to extend our concerns! (Note: meaning they need more time to finish whatever they’re planning.)

[Who is ‘Liar Tarski’?]

(Tarski’s coercive, fearsome looks. He looks awfully familiar… or is it?)

As you can tell by his looks, this big guy looks just like One-eyed Jack from Wonderholme. This isn’t because we couldn’t be bothered to create new looks, it is because he is One-eyed Jack’s Twin Brother. (Note: specifically Older Twin.)

Tarski was also a servant of Bandersnatch just like One-eyed Jack. However, after discovering the charm of contradictions and paradox, he began to lie as a part of his daily routine. Getting cocky, he began to lie to Bandersnatch, and when Bandersnatch felt that it has gone overboard, he exiled Tarski to an alternate dimension.

Spending time alone in an empty space, Tarski was not tormented by solitude, but the fact that he had no one to lie to. Having nothing to do but pass time while falling in despair, a miracle occurs to Tarski. Adventurers have leaked into this alternate dimension when during the time when Bandersnatch’s powers weaken once a year.

Of course, those adventurers would be you, the readers, right?

[Mr. Developer, what do you mean by “Liar”?]

(Tarski’s underlings who giving hints) (Note: 369!369!369! I also like lies!!)

As mentioned above, the lonely Tarski was eagerly waiting for the adventurers to arrive. And when they do, he will try to lie to the adventurers at his best. I kept emphasizing this word “lie” because… Well, Tarski is actually the TERA’s first(?) lying NPC.

Tarski will begin to lie staring at a certain time, and all you need to do is judge whether it is true or false and react to them. Easy, right?

While watching the burnt out development team enjoy it despite due to being tricked to death, I thought it’d be great if this was brought to everyone, so I am extremely happy that it will be added in the new update. In the upcoming March 31st! Let’s get tricked by the surrealistic lies altogether!

Furthermore, all hints related to the game progression are provided by the Hint NPC.

[Other Information Regarding Tarski]

In terms of difficulty, Liar Tarski’s Playground is about the same as Verno’s Laboratory HM, and Wonderholme (Note: a mix of WHNM and WHHM according to KTERA players).

I recommend that you have enough experience in TERA’s dungeon gameplay. As its difficulty is similar to the dungeons aforementioned, it is designed for Verno +12 gear set.

Also, this dungeon will drop VM7 materials, Enchantment materials and other goods, so I look forward to aggressive participation. (Translation**: Please run through this dungeon to your heart’s content… Maybe we’ll meet someday??).

(**Note: Also can be translated as “In other words” by the context. I’m not joking either. This is literally what it says, but I had to localize a little though. Makes 0 sense in English.)

[Wrapping-up]

With this, I will be closing the sneak peek into the newly developed “Liar Tarski’s Playground”.

I hope that this dungeon will bring you a different taste of enjoyment, and the TERA team will also continuously play to fix and polish the issues as soon as possible.

Thank you.
