You can spend Stigma Coins at the shop maintained by the Supply Soldier Salio. You can buy the items below:

Damien

The new boss Damien has been added. Damien has a Normal mode and Hard mode.

You can challenge him through the Corrupted World Tree area or by using the Boss Matching system.

In the test server, requirements to enter have been decreased. Characters level 140 or higher can enter, in a party of 1 to 6 people. In the official server, daily entrance limits and weekly clear limits will be added.

Here’s some screenshots of me fighting Damien. I think he has two other phases after this.

Here’s a short video of some of the attacks he has in his first phase.

Thanks to 스페랑카 on Naver for the animations below!

PHASE 1

Damien’s first phase has ??? HP with 300% PDR. Throughout the fight, his sword will fly across the map, hitting you. It can also lock on to your position and fly straight towards it.

He has three 1HKO attacks: the sword will stick itself into the ground and pulse every few seconds, the smoke markers on the ground that explode after a few seconds, and the fireballs he shoots downwards.

He has one special attack, one that looks like Demon Avenger’s Bloody Imprison. If it hits you, you have to complete a DDR-type minigame where you have to enter all the arrow keys correctly or else you will be binded for a short period of time (during which you cannot move, attack, or use any potions).

In the top right of the screen, you’ll see a UI with 7 crystals, it is used for the Stigma curse. It says “Next stigma will be created in: XX seconds”. Every 30 seconds, a stigma will appear and you’ll see a number above yourself (1/7). If it reaches 7, you will instantly die and Damien will become stronger.

But you’ll also notice that sometimes, the World Tree’s Altar appears. If you stand on top of it and use the Offering’s Stigma skill without getting hit for a short period of time, you can remove all Stigma stacks on yourself.

PHASE 2

Damien’s second phase has 120,000,000,000 HP with 300% PDR. I haven’t actually fought this yet but it looks super cool!

PHASE 3 (?)

There’s one more Damien mob in the data, it has 210,000,000 HP with 1000% PDR (which is nuts). So I think this one is just maybe a final death animation or maybe you have to do something specific to kill him in this form.
