Traverse Planet Lillipa in PSO2's Ultra Explorations!

~ May 15th, 2019 ~

 

Ultra Explorations

Face a brand new difficulty of foes with [Ultra Explorations]. These quests will cycle through Sub Tunnels, Desert, and Quarry, on a daily basis. Players can join in on the mayhem with a main and sub class of Lv. 85+.

Ultra Explorations comes with several characteristics, such as reduced healing effects, new enemy attachments, and a new enemy classification. The latter two will be explained in the following paragraphs.

 

Coinciding with the Photoner invasion is the mysterious arrival of [Ultralized Enemies]. These enemies have different color schemes and attacks.

 

Sometimes enemies will appear with Photoner infections that increase their health and power while the core sends out powerful attacks. Unlike regular infection cores, these Photoner cores are not considered weakpoints.

 

Enemies can also have barriers, severely reducing the player’s damage. The best way to attack them is to ascertain the weakpoint, such as, hitting them at close range, hitting them from the back, or hitting them from above, etc.

 

Clearing the Emergency Trials may reward players with a S-Class Ability Capsule.

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.
