Festival of Victors

New Game Update for June 20, 2025

As the legends of Temple of the Solstice Moon and the Shrine of the Midnight Sun spread, challengers have flocked from all over to challenge their gods. A vibrant festival is being held to celebrate these visitors, and the Victors who achieved the Eclipse Ascent. Empress Ai No Miko has invited you to be the guest of honor! Log in now to attend the /VictorMatsuri.

The Summer Solstice is today, which is the perfect occasion for a festival like this! Test the Celestial Dungeons' potential challengers, and measure your might against its Victors! Kitsune, Oni, and even Vampires are raring for a duel, but brace yourselves. The fighters blessed by the Midnight Sun and Soltice Moon have a few surprises up their sleeves.

Celestial Dungeons Update

Are you a Victor? Or have you yet to challenge the Celestial Dungeons?

Head to /TempleShrine and form a party to conquer the Shrine of the Midnight Sun, Temple of the Solstice Moon, and the Eclipse Ascent. You won't be able to do it alone...unless you want to make a name for yourself.

Anyone can enter /MidnightSun or /SolsticeMoon, but you'll need the Rite of Ascension to access /EclipseAscent.

This item will now require completing this weekend's new Festival of Victors event /VictorMatsuri, in addition to both the Midnight Sun and Solstice Moon dungeons. 

Completing the Festival involves defeating a Victor who successfully conquered the Eclipse Ascent Dungeon solo. By having you face (and defeat) this difficult boss, proper expectations for the difficulty of the Eclipse Ascent Dungeon will be set.

If you already have the Rite of Ascension item, then this will not affect you. Keeping it still allows access the Eclipse Ascent dungeon.
