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 Roschest. 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 Roschest, and stop the Black Order before it plunges the world into another Black Crusade.

Black Purgatory Weekly

Released in the July 2021's Season 6: Act 16 patch, Black Purgatory takes place after the events of Exile Mountains, where Roschest has now been destroyed and taken over by the Black Order, with their main objective is to bring forth a Second Black Crusade by reviving Apostle Ozma from Dark Side. Your goal is to traverse through Rochest's Outskirts along three different areas while battling Imposters, reach Horrendous Astaros at Chaos Gate and defeat her.

Crossroads

• The map layout for Black Purgatory shares functioning similarities 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, clearing out monsters per room and eventually encounter Black Order members in the form of mini-bosses such as Jade, Venta, and Onyx. Once they're defeated, 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

• The Easy Mode Route. Only enabled by taking all three lower routes starting with APC Rescue, Level 1 is preferred for newly formed parties who wish to learn the content's mechanics without heavily altering it's difficulty outside of Guide/Squad Mode, while offering the minimum rewards amount.

Level 2

• The Normal Mode Route. By taking the lower routes twice and going upwards once into one Dark Knight dungeon during the third intersection, this is preferred towards parties who wants a fairly balanced weekly run that offers a slightly increased amount of rewards and challenge.

Level 3

• The Hard Mode Route. By taking the lower route once and going upwards twice for two Dark Knight dungeons, this is preferred towards parties that are aiming for a more tougher challenge with not only a increase towards Named/Boss monster's HP, but a higher rewards amount in return.

Level 4

• 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 Very Hard Route. 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 Named/Boss encounters' HP of by 100%. This is only recommended towards stronger 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. That intruder has a lower HP threshold, and defeating them gives off their respective benefits to your party without altering the difficulty.

Black Order Followers

• Defeating Sub-bosses such as Midnight's Darkness, Despero or Jett increases the party's over all attack, further increasing depending on how many where encountered. (+3%, 8%, or 25%) under Lemidios' Holy Fire, while Avenger & Mistress will receive Untainted Faith that is a cosmetic feature, but still functions the same way.

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 and the potions that were purchased expires during every weekly reset on Tuesday.

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% similar to Sirroco Raid's Bullet Time.
  • Crusader Ralph - Casts  Fountain of Life on allies.

Rewards

• Upon defeating Astaros, there's a chance she'll drop:
  • 1 Level 100 Guide of Wisdom Epic Equipment
  • 1 Level 100 Mythic Equipment
  • 1 Level 100 Product of Corruption Equipment

Daily Version

After clearing [Black Purgatory] Preparations for a Holy War, players can access a Daily version of Black Purgatory only available in Destroyed Roschest that are split into four dungeons with their own layouts and respective bosses alike.

Guide and Squad Mode

Added in August 2021's Season 6 - Act 18, Black Purgatory 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.

Overall 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 skill cooldowns at the War Trader disabled.
• The Lemidios' Holy Fire/Untained Faith Attack buffs are temporary, fading off after moving to another section.

Dungeons

• Guide and Squad Mode is split into two different pathes; as Weeks 1 & 2 vary depending on the dungeon and bosses you'll encounter after clearing the first intersection in Outskirts of Roschest.
• Path 1 - Calling Jade, Despero the Pureblood, Onyx Black, Bloodlust Midnight's Darkness, Destructive Berias
• Path 2 - Calling Jade, Despairing Tiamat, Stretchy Darkness Jett, Timor the Pureblood

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 the Dark Knights will not increase the rewards or overall difficulty.

  • The player is given both blue & green pulsating lines during I'll bury you.
  • Can be hit twice with Green Orbs generated during This is it!.
