The press release is putting a different foot forward, however, highlighting Imoogi, a boss released after launch who can only be challenged once players have beaten all the other bosses. This includes aforesaid fox spirit, a ghost lady, a tiger lord, a pig king, and so on - you can see some of them in the trailer. Imoogi’s name means “giant snake” or “huge serpent” so I think he’s some kind of horse monster? Oh wait, you don’t think he’s that big lad in the header image do you? The one of a giant snake or huge serpent of some kind?
The questline is non-linear, so if you get stuck on the pig king you can have a crack at the vengeful ghost instead, and isn’t that a tactic we’ve all used to get through Sunday morning after a heavy Saturday night? Interestingly, Black Desert is taking this opportunity to add a new boss challenge mode called Boss Blitz. The idea is that once you defeat a boss you can fight them again at customised difficulty levels to rank in weekly charts - which is noted as a move away from monster grinding.
I’ve done a few Kill Ten Boars missions in my time, so reduced grinding in an MMORPG is something I can get behind, although I suspect grinding bosses might actually still be grinding? In any case, while I repeat that I know next to nothing about Black Desert Online, I do think it looks real purdy, especially some of those new blossom-stuffed areas in the expansion. If you’re already a player you can look out for the new hashtag content on June 14th.
