On December 17th, players will face the gigantic towering boss known as "Magatsu." This boss is strong, powerful enough to destroy massive protective walls with its body.
The goal for this quest is simple, players must prevent Magatsu from advancing and destroying all the walls. They'll have various tools at their disposal like turrets, photon particle cannons, and the [calamity-binding arrows] used to hinder its movement.
The quest will introduce "Quick Emergency Trials," where players are tasked with objectives like "defeating specific enemies" or "evading Magatsu's attacks." As they continue to fight and clear the objectives, they'll earn points for Sukuna-hime's Divine Blessing! This blessing grants players with higher jumping ability, faster movement speed, and a wider Moon Atomizer range.
