It is already the final month of 2025. Time flies, doesn't it? If I may share a small wish, I truly hope all you Raven 2 players have a wonderful end to the year. Now, shall we return to the game? This week, Raven 2 has rolled out sequels to existing events and provided a buff to Hero-tier gear. The Tower of Chaos has also been the talk of the town, with players posting concerns about clearing the 45th floor on the community boards. Let's take a look at the advice shared to help you conquer it.

Raven 2 Latest News

Check out the Hero gear patch notes

On December 3, Raven 2 adjusted some Hero and Legendary gear upwards. The update targets 10 pieces of Hero armour, 6 Hero accessories, and 2 Legendary accessories, effectively bumping up some of their stats. Among the Hero gear, items like the Parnack Greaves, Gauntlets, Rings, and Earrings saw improvements, likely increasing the value of the Ancient Citadel. Notably, the 'Seal of Ruin' received the most significant performance boost, with Weapon Attack and Attack power increased by 2, and Damage Reduction Ignore increased by 1.

Bug fixes and Hot Time events have also kicked off. Recently, players reported that the 28th floor of the Tower of Chaos had become unusually difficult. It turns out the boss monster's attack power was abnormally high, so that has been rectified. Furthermore, from the end of maintenance on December 3 until 4:59 AM on December 10, the 'Abyssal Soul Hot Time Event' is underway. During this period, the amount of Abyssal Soul obtained from defeating monsters in Abyss floors 2 and 3, as well as the total daily limit, has been increased by 1.5 times.

Let's share questions & strategies

Currently, the summit of the Tower of Chaos stands at the 45th floor. Climbers are struggling to defeat the final boss, Liliberesk, the Arbiter of Chaos, in hopes of breaking records. A Night Ranger named 'Card' on the user board expressed anxiety about the 45th floor, asking, 'I barely cleared 44, so 45 is probably impossible, right? The boss falls once you deplete over half its HP' and 'Do I just need to go full damage on 45?'. Given the context, the former seems to be a description of their struggle on 44. It is understandable to hesitate before the ultimate challenge.

In response, players 'Pretty' and 'No-ppa-kkeu-sseu-ral' chimed in. The latter is a legendary top-tier ranker who once dominated the Tower of Chaos rankings. They suggested that the 45th floor is actually easier, though the original poster seems to disagree. I suppose the perceived difficulty can vary wildly depending on your build and specs.

Pretty provided some granular setup advice. They recommended obtaining the sleep resistance buff on the 40th floor and using Heaven Stones such as Curse Reflection, Resistance Shield, Combat Expert, and Madness Calling. Their advice? Prioritise buff-oriented skills over pure damage-dealing Heaven Stones for a smoother run.

When the original poster still struggled, the advice became even more specific: 'Are you using a Crit Chance set? Are you capturing all your Critical Hit probability from the Tower of Chaos buffs?'. Finally, Pretty shared their own build used during their successful clear. If you are having trouble with the 45th floor, do yourself a favour and read that post.
