The Magatsu you know and love has received an expansion! This revamped quest will not only receive a new title, but also give players the opportunity to further face off against Magatsu in a second phase. But before we talk about that second phase, let's review some of the changes in store for the original Magatsu.
Magatsu's Phase 1 Adjustments
The Emergency Quest [Advent of the Annihilator] will receive a new title: Manifestation of the Calamity.
Manifestation of The Calamity will become a pre-scheduled Emergency Quest, giving Magatsu some resistances mentioned in a previous post.
Clearing this quest will give players the opportunity to participate in the second phase once the quest is available.
A.I.S vs Magatsu
In the second phase, players will board the A.I.S in an epic confrontation with Magatsu. Not just one, but three different Magatsu will appear through the series of battles. These include a striking type, ranged type, and the golden Magatsu Sai.
The A.I.S will also be equipped with new powers, such as:
Weak Buster: Fires a bullet weakening the enemy's defenses.
Over Boost: Provides a sudden burst to the thrusters, giving you a quick boost high into the air.
Area Heal: Recovers the HP of yourself and nearby allies.
Upon incapacitation, players will have to wait a few moments before their A.I.S revives.
New ★12 Weapons
禍杖ノチウハウ Evil Staff Nochiuhau
禍矛ユクカ Evil Lance Yukuka
禍刀ラクカ Evil Katana Rakuka
Once this update arrives, players will have the chance to receive these new ★12 weapons.
Episode 3: Chapter 4
The records and memories of ten years ago; everything associated with this girl had been erased. Beneath the battle between this girl and [Apprentice], an evil lurked. An evil that threatened to devour the present; an evil that attempts to deceive history. Several people have gathered on Planet Lillipa in search of the truth!
Cherry Blossom Lobby
The Cherry Blossom Lobby returns once more, gracing its surroundings with the relaxing sight of pink, dancing petals. Sakura Nyau will appear for a limited time, dressed in a freshman school uniform with a flute and ransel in hand. Upon defeat, he may drop the Sakura Ransel weapon camo!
PSO2es 1 Year Anniversary

About the Emergency Quest Calendar
There seems to be a bit of confusion over how the EQ calendar works, so here's a basic rundown.
The Emergency Quest calendar can only list events that were scheduled ahead of time by PSO2's development team.
The calendar is unable to show Emergency Quests that occur at random. There is no way to predict all EQs for the current week like the pre-scheduled list.
However, if you are premium user with PSO2es installed, you can receive notices for Emergency Quests 1 hour in advance.
The Emergency Quest schedule below lists both Emergency Quests and the start times for Boost Events. Things like "EXP Boost Day" and "Mesetan Shooter: Boost Period" are merely there to inform you when that Boost Event is about to begin. There are no Emergency Quests called "EXP Boost Day."
Please be sure to notify us whenever there are issues with the calendar, so that we can fix them as quick as possible. Also keep in mind that you may need to resync the calendar periodically as Emergency Quests and Boost Events can change at Sega's discretion.
