On the 26th, 'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) rolled out its massive November update, introducing the top-tier party dungeon 'Garden of Illusion', a 'Statue Liberation' system, expanded 'Blessing Tablet' tiers, new time dungeon stages, fresh skills, a buffet of events, and a laundry list of bug fixes.

The star of the show is undeniably the 'Garden of Illusion' party dungeon. Once you’ve wrapped up the main quest [Act 5, Chapter 8: The Disguised], you can access it via the party dungeon menu. While the normal difficulty offers auto-matching, the heroic tier does not. It’s a gorgeous, albeit deadly, garden filled with poisonous flora and thorns, presided over by the boss 'Mirinasha', who is waiting for players to challenge her.

The 'Statue Liberation' content is also stirring up a bit of a buzz. Once all your statues hit level 60, you unlock the liberation feature, with further liberation opportunities every 10 levels thereafter. You’ll need 'Liberation Stones' to grant symbols, which can be sourced from achievements, events, the shop, or the upcoming 'Tower of Challenge' season rewards.

You are granted 40 attempts to assign up to 10 symbols. Be warned: once those 40 tries are gone, they’re gone for good, regardless of your success rate. Symbols are assigned randomly from a pool of eight types, with scores ranging from 1 to 5 based on probability. The liberation process is split into two pages; finish the first, and you’ll unlock the second, allowing you to toggle between your preferred loadouts.

But wait, there’s more than just new mechanics. The developers are running a slew of events, including a 'Mihaje Canyon Drop Rate Boost' that increases your chances of grabbing 'Blessing Tablet: First Record' by 5 to 10 times, a 'Ygritte’s Spirit and Mount Synthesis Support' program based on your synthesis history, and a 'Party Dungeon Conquest Special Support' that rewards you with selection boxes for clearing dungeons. It’s a solid chance to scratch that progression itch.

On top of that, we have the new Mythic Spirit 'Barkan', an alliance system, expanded time dungeon tiers, more Blessing Tablet slots, adjusted monster spawns, a refined alliance raid leaderboard, clearer UI for upgradable costumes, and a heap of bug fixes. You can find all the gritty details over on the official Arthdal Chronicles website.
