Thaemine Legion Raid

159 KB
69 KB
Thaemine the Legion Commander of Darkness has finally appeared under the red sky.

Despite the efforts of adventurers to fend off demons in Luterra, the allied forces failed to stop Thaemine from summoning his fortress, the Dark Baratron. Thaemine created this area under red moon, and disappeared into the Dark Baratron. Seated on the Throne of Despair, he is observing and preparing as the Dark Baratron begins to impact Arkesia. Under the influence of the Dark Baratron that unravels order and disperses darkness, Luterra is being reshaped, beginning to resemble the chaos of Petrania. Track Thaemine to Dark Baratron and face him as the war between Light and Darkness wages in an 8-player Legion Raid. In the Legion Commander Raid 'Darkness Legion Commander Thaemine,' players will be able to experience new cinematic scenes and epic music as battles against the Darkness Legion unfold. Adventurers who wish to appreciate the scenes are advised to disable 'Skip Dungeon Cutscenes' in Settings - Gameplay 'Control Settings' before entering. Additionally, in the Settings - Audio category, players can adjust the various in-game sound volumes.
