New Arcana Archives Invasion
Arcana Archives also hosts a new scheduled invasion. During the event period, the map becomes the stage for elite encounters and the new boss, creating a separate objective from normal Specter hunting.
Elite Monster Respawns Outside the Invasion
Elite monsters are not limited exclusively to the scheduled invasion. Outside the invasion period, elite enemies can respawn in Arcana Archives, giving players an additional reason to patrol and hunt on the map between event windows.
| Map State | Available Encounter |
|---|---|
| Invasion Active | Elite encounters and the new boss form the main event challenge. |
| Outside Invasion Hours | Elite monsters can respawn during regular Arcana Archives hunting. |
New Arcana Archives Boss
The invasion introduces a new boss for Arcana Archives. This encounter is the central target of the event and should be approached separately from the regular Specter monsters and the elite respawns available outside the schedule.
