– Lost Ark Corps Commander Raid Iliacan Teaser
When Smilegate’s representative MMORPG ‘Lost Ark’ released a teaser video of the new corps commander raid ‘Disease Corps Commander Iliakan’ on the 19th, active analysis and discussion of users continues.
“After Cain’s death, we continued to investigate the Airgaitz project,” said Artetain Administrator Bastian. “The theory that became the forerunner of the project… it was a remnant of power… What prompted Dr. Eichmann to come up with the theory was… Iliacan’s. It was the eye ‘Rubia’. The aura of the disease is spreading more and more while avoiding our eyes. Everyone said the investigation was meaningless… but now it’s different.”
Afterwards, the adventurer heads to Iliakan. Facing the adventurers, Iliakan greets them with a line that says, “You insignificant creature that will eventually decline and die. For a long time… my soul has been trapped in this disgusting land. But… now is the time.” Originally, the body was cut and sealed, but for some reason, it was resurrected as a perfect body.
In the first battle, a minion appeared. This boss monster that handles water threatened adventurers by using various range techniques. At this time, you can see the pattern of the shield destroyed on the adventurer’s head. Users predicted that the shield destruction would reduce defense or prohibit the provision of a shield.
The key to combat with minions is falling. The battlefield is surrounded by rivers, so if you escape by an enemy attack, you will fall into the river and die. In the video, you can see a situation where some personnel fell into the water because the minion did not properly handle the gimmick that displayed the ground mark while it was ruthlessly hitting the ground following taking it down with a jump.
After the battle with the minions, the adventurers head to Iliakan. The gimmick of avoiding a huge slash on the way was also an eye-catching element. The most impressive gimmick in the full-fledged battle scene with the Iliacan is dealing with ghosts with a lantern in a dark space like the Metus Islands. There were acquaintances around me who had not experienced the Metus Islands because they might not overcome the fear, but when I saw the gimmick of the Iliakan, I sighed deeply.
The overall gimmick was designed with an effect that expresses the theme of disease well, and there were many familiar gimmicks such as grabbing, magical eyes (petrification), and continuous range attack. In the petrified state, if you are hit by Iliakan’s special attack, you can see them annihilate, so it is important to be as careful as possible.
The video ends with Iliakan’s line to the adventurers suffering from disease, “Everything will die and be reborn. Cry. I am the king of death. I am Iliakan.”
Viewers who watched the video commented, “The trailer is really well made”, “The directing and music are crazy”, “The scene of falling into the sea from a fall is cool”, “The Annihilation Directing is creepy”, “This is a game”, “The concept is perfect, just to enjoy I’m left” and “I think the pattern will be fun”, etc.
