Map of Black Purgatory

Black Purgatory is the second dungeon area of Chest Town and the dungeon area that follows the events of Exile Mountains. Players must be Level 100 and complete the necessary Act Quest to access the area through Destroyed Chest Town.

After losing the Coffin of Extinction to the Black Order, Lemidia Basilica receives news of a prison breach within Lemidia Capella. Its prisoner, Despero the Pureblood, has gone missing. Concerned about the Black Order's next move, the Priest Order sends reinforcements to the garrison at Chantri. In the meantime, the Imposter forces overrun Chest Town, and take over Los Chest. With the Imperial forces of Chest Town on the run and the former lands of Dark Side in the hands of the Black Order, Ozma's resurrection is close at hand. The Priest Order and the Adventurers must rescue the refugees, recapture Los Chest, and stop the Black Order before it plunges the world into another Black Crusade.

Black Purgatory Weekly

Released in July 2021 during the Season 6 - Act 16 patch, Black Purgatory is somewhat similar to The Oculus: The Sanctum of Resurrection where the dungeon's setting is located in a Destroyed Chest Town that's taken over by the Black Order and they're dead set on reviving Apostle Ozma of Chaos on bringing forth a Second Black Crusade. Your main goal is to traverse through Roschest's Outskirts including it's four areas, confront Horrendous Astaros at the Chaos Gate and defeat her.

Crossroads

• Black Purgatory's map layout is identical with Operation: Hope's belt-scrolling back at Harlem. You'll first begin your mission in Outskirts of Roschest that acts like a intersection area. After clearing out monsters per room and eventually encounter Black Order members in the form of mini-bosses such as Jade, Onyx or Venta. Upon their defeat, you're given a forked path in three different choices in the intersection's end to decide on which route your party wants to enter first as this dynamically alters the difficulty and rewards amount.

Level 1 (Easy)

• By taking the lowest routes three times in total starting with the APC Rescue one first, this can be seen as the 'Easy Mode' route that's recommended for parties who wish to begin running the weekly content by learning it's mechanics and offers a fair amount of rewards without altering the difficulty.

Level 2 (Normal)

• By taking the lower routes twice and going upwards once into one Dark Knight dungeon during the third intersection, this can be seen as the 'Normal Mode' route only recommended towards parties that prefer to have a fairly balanced run that offers a good amount of rewards and challenge.

Level 3 (Hard)

• By taking the APC Rescue Route once and going upwards twice for two Dark Knight dungeons, this can be seen as the 'Hard Mode' route only recommended for parties that aim towards a more tougher challenge and offers a higher amount of rewards and difficulty as certain Named & Boss monsters will have higher HP.

Level 4 (Extreme)

• NPC Grandis will always be located next to a Dark Knight dungeon path, sending out a warning saying "That place before you is too dangerous."

• By taking all three Dark Knight dungeon pathes upwards, this is often considered to be the content's most extremely difficult route of them all. Not only does it offer the highest amount of rewards that parties can earn, but the difficulty itself scales each time a Dark Knight is defeated, further increasing later boss encounters' HP of by 100%. This is only recommended towards very strong parties who are ready to challenge themselves.

Boss Intrusion

• Whenever you've made a selection at a crossroads or rescue a APC, your chance of meeting an intruder in the selected area appears whether it be a Dark Knight or Black Order follower.
• The intruding monster has lower HP than usual and can cast beneficial effects on your party upon being defeated.

Black Order Follower

• Defeating Sub-bosses such as Midnight's Darkness, Despero or Jett for example can increase the party's over all attack, further increasing depending on how many where encountered. (+3%, 8%, or 25%)

War Trader Posia

• Upon reaching the third intersection before the Chaos Gate, a NPC Merchant named War Trader Posia is located at that area and he'll sell dungeon-exclusive potions, repairs equipment and allows to reset the entire party's cooldowns that's only permitted to the Party Leader. He can be encountered once per run.

APC Rescue

• There are a total of six APCs consisting of ether Priests or Knights that can be rescued, offering their own special abilities by pressing the TAB key that's only enabled during Black Order Followers of Dark Knight boss fights. If one or two APCs are saved, the 1st and 2nd party members hold onto those abilities. Some can be used either once or twice depending on the effect and cooldown time:
  • Lightbringer Jenna - Can immediately cancel out monsters' patterns and put them in a groggy state.
  • Lightbringer Sera - Reduces oncoming damage by 25%.
  • Crusader Rina - Fully restores HP.
  • Inquisitor Lilia - Increases Damage Intensification by 25%.
  • Exorcist Sieg - Can slow down enemies by 70%, excluding players.
  • Crusader Ralph - Casts  Fountain of Life on allies.

Rewards

  • 1 Level 100 Guide of Wisdom Epic Equipment

Normal/Daily

Also included in the 6 - Act 16 patch, Black Purgatory Normal are split into four dungeons of the weekly content that functions similarly to previous Roschest dungeons such as Black Shrine & Basement of Pain. They can be only accessed in Destroyed Chest Town after clearing the [Preparations for a Holy War] Act quest.

Guide and Squad Mode

Introduced in Season 6 - Act 18, Guide and Squad Mode are easier and simplified versions of the original dungeon suited for solo play. In terms of Squad Mode, the player will be partnered with three Elite Members of their choosing.

Adjustments

• Guide and Squad mode are the same as the original but with some differences to it's gameplay.
• Instead of a forked path that dynamically alters the difficulty of the dungeon, Black Purgatory's Guide and Squad mode is more streamlined with only a single path with no various changes in difficulty.
• As a result, the kind of bosses you face are predetermined and changes daily. However, you will always face Horrendous Astaros as the final boss.
• Only one APC can be rescued in Squad and Guide mode.
• Amount of clear rewards decreased.
• Option to reset skills cooldowns at War Trader Posia removed.

Dungeons

Guide/Squad Mode is split into two different pathes; as Week 1 & 2 varies depending on the dungeon and bosses you'll encounter after clearing Outskirts of Roschest.

Monster Adjustments

• As expected of the Solo-only version of Black Purgatory, all monsters (Normal/Bosses) will have their stats and difficulty lowered and some movesets adjusted.
• Defeating Black Order Followers will not increase your character's attack, nor does the difficulty or available rewards with Dark Knights.

Rewards

  • 1 Level 100 Guide of Wisdom Epic Equipment
