Atoraxxion: Vahmalkea
Developer Commentary
Atoraxxion, which means "Ator's Paradise," was built long before Black Stones were discovered to detect and defend against the Black Spirit's power. After lying dormant for ages, Atoraxxion has reemerged into the world.
In Atoraxxion, you'll team up with fellow Adventurers to take down monsters and tackle unique mechanics and boss patterns. Playing your part and syncing up with your team is crucial. This update introduces you to "Vahmalkea," the first biome of Atoraxxion, which has the desert theme.
Vahmalkea features five sections, each packed with special challenges and monsters eagerly awaiting you.
The new mechanics and challenges might seem strange at first. But with clues that pop up as you progress, tips from the Black Spirit, and teamwork with other Adventurers, you'll gradually advance and find the joy in strategizing together.
Once you defeat Apex Lucretia, the boss blocking your path in the final section, you'll acquire the knowledge of Lucretia along with Vaha's legacy.
Adventurers who have achieved a certain level of Lucretia's knowledge can lead their party with expert exploration skills and take a shortcut straight to the boss in Vahmalkea.
Atoraxxion stands strong through the ages. Explore Vahmalkea, the first biome, and experience the thrill of the challenge with hidden records, new mechanics, and formidable bosses.
