June 26, 2024 – Classic hack n’ slash RPG Vindictus welcomes players to continue the veteran online game’s exhilarating narrative with the addition of Season 4 Episode 9, “Desperate Deterrent.” This action-packed update expands players’ maximum level from 115 to 120 and features a thrilling new raid, “The One Who Protects the Altar,” which only the highest-level players can attempt due to the sheer skill needed to face the brutal boss Sreng and his mighty army of giants.
“Desperate Deterrent” is the latest story update in NEXON America’s Vindictus. For over 14 years, players worldwide have continued to return to the expansive world of Vindictus to explore the wild landscapes inspired by Celtic mythology and embark on epic adventures featuring real-time combat and deadly monsters to face off against. The hack n’ slash game boasts stunning visuals, unique characters and a wide variety of customizable gear, allowing players to forge their own paths to becoming a legendary hero.
“The One Who Protects the Altar” Raid
Only the strongest heroes at level 120 can try their hand at the latest raid found in the Mount Celsina region of Toward Taratha, and those who complete the battle before Tuesday, July 9 will receive bonus Evil Cores. With a group of highly skilled players, heroes can embark on a journey to stop the resurrection of Lord Balor, but first must face the boss monster Sreng, who hopes to bring the lord to life. A fearsome foe, Sreng is a mighty commander capable of brutal attacks using nothing but his own body and the earth around him and is assisted by his formidable army of giants.
Increased Level Cap
With the level cap expansion of 120 also comes new “Uaithne” weapons and armor, each with powerful stats.

Additionally, players can earn Boxtryoshkas and other in-game items each time they move up from level 116 to 120 until Tuesday, July 23 in honor of the new level cap.
