The Next Endless Quest Twirls Into PSO2!

~ March 6th, 2019 ~

 

Endless: Eternal Rondo

The second Endless Quest debuts for you to deliver the diligence of your Episode 5 training! It'll be tougher than [Endless: Memories Beyond], and Extra Hard will be the only difficulty. You will be faced with 36 different areas, containing new mission orders, such as: "Do not take damage" and "Defeat a Certain Enemy."

Your mission orders and enemy spawns are subject to change depending on how many players are in the quest. For example, if you are playing solo, you won't have to worry about the order: "Defeat from behind."

At the end of the first lap, you’ll finally encounter an enemy that has yet to make an appearance in past multi-party quests!

 

One of the new areas will be [VR Arena (Forest)] from the Battle Arena!

 

Locales found within Episode 5’s story will appear as the interval areas, and medical terminals will finally be accessible. In certain interval areas, you'll also be given more time before you have to depart to the next area.

Furthermore, Duo and Trio join the score conditions! These conditions will also be added to: [Endless: Memories Beyond].

 

By achieving new high scores, you'll be able to obtain the Angel Wings A, B & C accessories. While A & B have fixed colors, the C variation's color will change to match that of your costume or outerwear.

 

Buster Quest Adjustments

The following adjustments will be made to standard Buster Quests:

  • Implemented Dash Panels.
  • If a Buster Quest is started with only one person:
    • Double amount of Mana acquired.
    • Reduce amount of Towers to two.
  • The Final Phase will have only one side with enemies on the stairs.

The following adjustments will be made to all Buster Quests:

  • Mana will automatically be picked up as you near them.

 

KOF Legends (AC Scratch)

Cosplay as fan favorite characters from the King of Fighters series! Collect the cosmetics of Leona, Mai Shiranui and Athena – as well as the two rivals; Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami! Lobby actions depicting fighting moves from the game will also be available.

 

 

New Year Carnival Revival Scratch

A revival scratch to commemorate the ARKS NEW YEAR CARNIVAL 2019 will appear on March 13th. The [Accessory Selection] side will include popular hairstyles, accessories, and lobby actions, whereas the [Support Item Selection] contains items for mag raising and item strengthening.
