141: Trick or Treat!
55: “Let’s do this!”

See you in the Gateway Ship, Arks!

- The PSO2 Team

HALLOWEEN IN PSO2!

“Boo!” to you, from PSO2! We didn’t want Arks going Personal Quarters door to Personal Quarters door and possibly disturbing tired operatives, so we figured we’d throw our own Halloween Event!

Welcome to a Phantasy Star Halloween, Arks! After visiting Earth during previous quests, ARKS has decided to celebrate a beloved holiday of the inhabitants of Earth, which led to the HALLOWEEN EVENT! There’ll be candy-themed weapons and other fun things to find and explore. The new Urgent Quest TRICK OR TREAT!, the introduction of the Expedition BEWITCHED WOODS, costumed Rappys and Emperappys, decked-out Xia, and more, await operatives of Fleet Oracle! Check out the individual sections below to learn more about each facet of the Halloween Event!

[h2]DÉCOR THEME: SPOOK-TOBER![/h2]
Your ship’s Gateway Area has been decked out in Halloween-themed decorations, so that operatives are kept in the Halloween-spirit while dancing, showing off costumes, and of course, accepting Quests from the Quest Counter. For those who spend more time in the Shopping Plaza, pumpkins and autumnal-themed items have been put on display. Please refrain from carving any pumpkins, however.

Begins: 10/13 (PDT) (end of maintenance)
Ends: 11/10 (PDT) (beginning of maintenance)

[h2]PARTY CRASHERS[/h2]
In the limited-time Urgent Quest, TRICK OR TREAT, you’ll need to help clear out an area on Lillipa that was to be a party venue for Arks. However, rampaging Falspawn and Automata apparently decided to crash the party, and ARKS HQ needs 8 operatives to take on the role of bouncer (role, not class) to eject the unwelcome guests. The festival was going to include the use of Turrets and Energy Tanks (don’t ask how) so the presence of these should be helpful in clearing out the interlopers. Those of you who come wearing something special will be eligible for a PSE OUTFIT BONUS EFFECT! This boost will net operatives increased EXP gain as well as an increased rare item drop rate for the duration of their current instance of Trick or Treat! So before heading to the Quest Counter, check to see if you have any of the items in this article!

[h3]Featured Rewards[/h3]

Love Phoenix | ★13, Rod

Autumn Princess | ★13, Sword

Kouregi Barrel |★13, Assault Rifle

[h3]Available Augments[/h3]

[h3]Ares Weapon Series[/h3]

Ares Harmonizer | ★14, Harmonizer

Ares Partisan |★14, Partisan

[h3]Ares weapons at +35 Enhancement Level[/h3]

[h2]FRANCA’S AFTER DARK[/h2]
If you’re looking for a great spot to host your own Costume Party, then Franca’s has got you covered. Watch fireworks flit across the City skyline while sipping drinks from a nearby bar and reclining in alcoves alongside the infinity-edge pool. We’re certain at least a few Arks will prefer this over the Lobby as the new gathering place! Just don’t be spooked if a few friendly ghosts prefer it too!

Begins: 10/13 (PDT) (end of maintenance)
Ends: 12/08 (PDT) (beginning of maintenance)

[h2]BOO-TIFUL XIA[/h2]
Xia’s trying to get ready for the costume-party, but she needs a few things done first! Help her out with these Halloween-themed Client Orders, and you’ll eventually receive some RISING WEAPONS BADGE 4 and the below item!

Begins: 10/13 (PDT) (end of maintenance)
Ends: 11/11 (PDT)

[h3]Featured Reward[/h3]

* Magical Lollipop | Weapon Camo, Rod

Remember, in sufficient number, Rising Weapons Badge 4 can be exchanged in the Shopping Plaza for materials needed to create a ★15 weapon!

[h2]BEWARE THE LANTERN RAPPY (AND EMPERAPPY)![/h2]
Rappy and Emperappy love Halloween too, and they’ll be dressing up as well. If you’re lucky enough to come across them, you may receive one of the below items, and it may even have the Augment Lantern Fever on it!

Begins: 10/13 (PDT) (end of maintenance)
Ends: 11/10 (PDT) (beginning of maintenance)

[h3]Available Augments[/h3]

[h3]Featured Rewards from Lantern Rappy[/h3]

Chocolate Du Kuchen | ★13, Twin Daggers

Mufi Sucre | ★13, Talis

[h3]Featured Rewards from Lantern Emperappy[/h3]

Evolution Device: Lantern Empy | Mag Device

Azucar Drops | ★13, Gunblade

Rappy Suit Mini: Orange | Outfit, All Races, Unisex

[h2]GHOSTLY BINGO![/h2]
Who doesn’t love Bingo when there are prizes up for grabs?! Probably not Arks, which is good, because they’ll be able to access the HALLOWEEN 2020 BINGO card in the Halloween Event. As you take on quests, you’ll be informed when you’ve completed a task and the Bingo square number will be briefly displayed at the bottom of your screen. Your ARKS Bingo Card can be accessed through the main menu, then selecting “Current Events” and “ARKS Bingo Card.” To view what tasks you have yet to complete, click on the name of the ARKS Bingo Card–in this case “Halloween 2020 Bingo”–and select “View Details.” The tab that displays by default is named “View Bingo Card,” and this is where you can view remaining squares to be completed. The other Tab is named “Bingo Completion Reward” and this is where you view what rewards you have yet to receive. Finally, the number of times you get a “BINGO” –all squares completed in a straight line, may or may not include the “Free” space in the middle– may qualify you for one of the rewards listed below!

Begins: 10/13 (PDT) (end of maintenance)
Ends: 11/10 (PDT) (beginning of maintenance)

[h3]Featured Rewards[/h3]

* Monster Hats | Weapon Camo, Wired Lance

* Adilrate | Weapon Camo, Knuckles

Evolution Device: Wraithy | Mag Device

Rappy Bib | Accessory

* Jack Ignis | Weapon Camo, Twin Machine Guns

Evolution Device: Jacklan | Mag Device

* Miracle Magic | Weapon Camo, (Sword, Partisan, Double Saber, Katana, Launcher, Rod, Wand, Jet Boots)

Finally, make sure you pick up the Client Orders from Xia, as some of the Bingo squares are related to completing these for her!

[h2]ADDITIONAL CONTENT COMING ON OCTOBER 14TH![/h2]
Ever fancy a walk in the woods, at night? If so, then check out the spooky new Expedition, Bewitched Woods, which fits perfectly with the Halloween theme. A massive, winding forest has appeared on Omega and it’s up to you (and up to 11 other operatives) to chart its paths and determine its hazards. Minotaurqz, Omega Salamanders, Omega Dark Falz, and others are hiding in the gnarled trees, so beware of potential ambushes. This Expedition isn’t all risk and no reward though, as the items these enemies have upon their persons are often of great value; items like the CHAOS MALOSSISTONE (used in Zig products for Supernatural weapons), for instance. ARKS HQ has mandated that in order to venture into these frightful woods, you’ll need to be at least level 55 and have cleared a particular Client Order. Check out some of the potential items that may drop while in the Bewitched Woo:ds!

[h3]Supernatural Series[/h3]

Grand Foicerer | ★13, Rod

Aurg’s Fury | ★13, Double Saber

Golem Bluffs | ★13, Sword

[h3]Featured Rewards[/h3]

Rykros Staff | ★14, Harmonizer

Spread Needle | ★14, Assault Rifle

Lavis Cannon | ★14, Wand

[h3]Available Augments[/h3]

We’re sure you’re dying to get started exploring the Halloween Event, so pick up your costume and join in the festivities! See you in Franca’s Night Café, Arks!

NIER: AUTOMATA COLLABORATION PACKS

NieR: Automata Collaboration Packs – status: available, starting October 13th. Request for full data access: granted – transcription below.

ARKS are lucky in that each Falspawn we fight can–with enough discipline and will–be irrevocably exterminated. Others are not so lucky in that regard, as their enemies require deliberate and irreparable destruction. The androids of YoRHa and members of the Resistance in NIER: AUTOMATA have constructed advanced equipment and devices that ARKS Operatives might enjoy using, and so select groupings of these items will be available for purchase via the Steam store from October 13th to November 10th!

As ARKS Operatives are heroes to so many, inhabitants of the Fleet and Harukotan, Lillipans, and those residing in Omega, it is only fitting that they look the part. In the case of Omega, operatives seem to have stepped from the pages of legend, making them LEGENDARY HEROES, which happens to be the title of the next AC Scratch Ticket collection. This collection features regal pieces that are sure to inspire others to look upon operatives with a mixture of wonder and pride. Get your favorites from this collection between September 30th and October 27th, before the book is closed!

WHAT’S NEW IN EPISODE 5

If you’re ready for a phantastical adventure, then prepare yourselves operatives, because Episode 5 launches on September 30th! Read this article for details on what’s included!

The time for EPISODE 5 is drawing nigh, and operatives should prepare for its arrival on September 30th!

Finding yourself on a fog-enshrouded, flower-dotted plain, a strong sense of displacement and confusion fills you. You had been mid-battle with the Profound Darkness, yet again, in an attempt to sever its corruptive hold on Persona. Suddenly, you feel the vibration of riders approaching, and spot a girl astride a scaled mount, fleeing other riders atop similar beasts. A confrontation seems imminent, and you briefly have time to reflect on what this new mystery will bring in the way of adventure.

Episode 5 brings quite a bit of new content and features, and though you have but a few moments before the party is upon you, you muse over the changes that are to take place on September 30th.

[h2]WHAT’S NEW[/h2]
Some of the new changes and features include:

Player Level cap increased to 90
New ARKS Missions
New Seasonal Events
New Alliance Quarters
Exciting new Titles to earn
New Collection Folder
New quest types
New areas to explore
New S-Grade Augments
Ability to transfer S-Grade Augments
Ability to add a L-Ring Skill to ★12 Units

A few of the new features and changes deserve to have a little bit more said about them, so let’s get started!

[h2]NEW STORY[/h2]
After lending aid to those on Earth, ARKS discovers a mysteriously created portal that leads to another dimension, called “Omega.” This world seems driven purely by fantasy, a world of swords and magic instead of technology and science. The two worlds are in direct contrast with each other, and as the story progresses the player will frequently move between them while observing the strange similarities these worlds share. Simultaneously, a mysterious woman who calls herself “Alma” appears, and she seems to have information about Omega and–strangely–about ARKS.

[h2]SCION CLASS - HERO[/h2]
A new type of class has come to Fleet Oracle, the HERO CLASS. Heroes are trained in the use of several weapons, including: Swords, Twin Machine Guns, and Talises. But this class wouldn’t be the powerhouse it is if the Hero wielded these weapons in the style of other classes. No, their methods are unique amongst the Classes, in that Twin Machine Guns are suitable for ranged combat and can grant PP recovery mid-fight, Talises grant the Hero the ability to move to pre-determined locations at high-speed, and Swords decimate packs of enemies with a wide-range attack. Perhaps most interestingly, Heroes possess specific Photon Arts that allow them to quickly change between all three weapon types while in combat, making the Hero a self-reliant whirlwind of destruction that can adapt to changing situations on the battlefield with ease.

Notable Photon Arts of the Hero include:

Trickflash – Sword Photon Art for Heroes. Execute a high-speed thrust. Holding the button will swap to your Talis and unleash a follow-up strike.
Jet Wheel - Talis Photon Art for Heroes. Deploys a shuriken which spins about, slicing up targets. The shuriken remains active even if you swap to another Hero weapon.
Starfire Squall – Twin Machine Guns Photon Art for Heroes. Pelt enemies with a one-handed barrage of fire. Performing this Photon Art after dodging an attack will increase its damage.

[h2]DARK BLAST[/h2]
By harnessing the power that you’ve accumulated from Dark Falz, you are able to perform an ability called DARK BLAST. During Dark Blast, your HP and other basic traits are greatly enhanced, and different, more powerful attacks become available to you. Dark Blast is only useable once per quest, and the ability to use it depends on the status of a gauge that fills as you fight enemies. Once in Dark Blast Form, you’re able to use any special Dark Blast skills you may have acquired after spending accumulated Special EXP, which is built up by defeating enemies in a quest and gained upon quest completion.

DARK BLAST ABILITIES

Dark Barrier – raises a large Photon wall in front of you, which draws enemy attacks.
Ultimate Impact – Only useable once per transformation, this skill allows you to channel Photon energy into your arms and release it in a focused blast of destruction. Has a large area of effect and deals extreme damage.
HP Up – Boosts your Max HP.

ADDITIONAL DARK BLAST SKILLS

Extend Normal Attack Combo ½ - add extra stages to your Normal Attacks, such as a fourth attack.
Bloody Heal – Recovers HP for you and allies around you.
Physical Dash – Dash at high Speed for a limited time.

SPECIAL DARK BLAST PHOTON ARTS

Punishment Knuckle - Unleash a devastating punch after charging. Charging results in greatly enhanced attack power. So powerful that Demon Bulwarks in Buster Quests take only one punch to destroy.

[h2]A WORLD DIVIDED - OMEGA[/h2]
The world of Omega is divided amongst 4 nations.

CUENTO, a land of nature and magic; but also a land embroiled in civil war between those on the side of righteousness in the Revolutionary Army, and those who back a Pretender to the throne who seeks personal gain through any means necessary. This includes the consumption of Ephemera to fuel an unquenchable thirst for power, and obstinately ignoring the maddening effect Ephemera has on the user. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, after all.

WEYLAND is a land of parched plains and billowing dust. The wind, as it whittles the landscape, also whittles the people who reside there, molding them into volatile, combative, hardened warriors who are also experiencing civil unrest. Having attained his position through combat with all who would oppose them, their Emperor is not content to rule in peace, but would rather continue to challenge any he deems as worthy adversaries. Some would say this continual thirst for needless bloodshed borders on madness.

EPYK, a land of extremes in both its geology and people. The terrain vacillates between lush oases and barren dunes, while the people (and their Queen) are mercurial in temperament and passionate by nature. The Queen of Epyk craves excitement in her sand-filled days and may look to current events to get it.

YS ARTIA is a forest-dotted woodland, with green rolling hills and ocean breezes that invite visitors and residents alike to savor peace and tranquility; making it a popular destination for those wishing to relax. Their newly ascended Symbol wishes the same, but the demands of governing weigh heavy on his young shoulders and he has become resigned to his administrative future.

[h2]NEW ENEMIES – SUPERNATURALS[/h2]
SUPERNATURALS are a new foe for ARKS Operatives and are created by way of sorcerous summoning–catalyzed by Ephemera. Our research thus far shows that in general, the group does not seem to have any kind of shared weakness, and instead seem to have weaknesses dependent on their individual characteristics. Operatives have encountered the Omega Wolf, Foi Sorcerers, and Resta Golems so far.

[h2]NEW QUEST TYPE – BUSTER QUEST[/h2]
Perhaps the most formidable of Supernaturals, the Castrum Demonica is a fortification capable of summoning an endless wave of creatures and Demonic Arms such as Conjured Artillery, Ephemera Cores, and Demon Artillery. Though the Castrum Demonica are greatly feared, it has been shown that Guardians are able to control a siege weapon called a BUSTER TOWER. This will potentially change the fate of Omega, as those who seek to do good by restoring the land to a peace known before the appearance of Ephemera can now take a stand against those who seek domination.

Features of Buster Quests:

On a team of 8 operatives, you will alternate between the Defense Phase and the Buster Phase.
Defense Phases require defending your siege bases, known as Buster Towers, from enemies.
Buster Phases entail attacking the front line and protecting BUSTER PILES–weaponry needed to assault the walls of the Castrum Demonica.
Mana collected from the field is used for a variety of large-scale ARKS weaponry and support abilities.
As your number of cleared Buster Quests grows, your GRADE increases. A higher Grade means better rewards.
In general, you will be matched with operatives who have a similar grade.
