PixARK Halloween Patch 1.73

Greetings, Explorers!

Halloween is just around the corner, and our next PixARK Halloween update is scheduled to go live around 12:00 am PDT on October 26. Official Servers will be offline for a few hours.

First, let’s take a peek at the Halloween main menu screen.



New Dungeon/Challenge

To start the Ancient Wyvern King challenge, players will need to Summon an Ancient Wyvern King Challenge Gate and be teleported to where the Wyvern King resides.

The Challenge Gate can be summoned in the Inscription Book when you put in Dark Magic Stone, Water Magic Stone, Wind Magic Stone, Thunder Magic Stone, Fire Magic Stone, Light Magic Stone, and Earth Magic Stone. You have the chance to produce one of the three different Challenge Gates once the summoning is done. Each of the three Challenge Gate has its own color, size, and summoning rate. The numbers of players and tames allowed to be teleported through these Challenge Gates also vary.

Once the Challenge Gate is summoned, the dungeon challenge is not activated yet. Players will need to obtain Energy Stone, craftable in the Alchemy Stove, and place them on the Challenge Gate to initiate the portal to the Ancient Wyvern King. If you want to challenge the Ancient Wyvern King for another time, you will have to place Energy Stone to create the portal again.

Out of the three Ancient Gate, only one can be activated via the Teleportation Platform at a time. A cooldown of 24 hours will be attached to players who have taken on an Ancient Wyvern King challenge.
  • Challenge Gate (Blue): summoning rate is 70%; teleport up to 5 players and 5 tames
  • Challenge Gate (Green): summoning rate is 25%; teleport up to 10 players and 10 tames
  • Challenge Gate (Purple): summoning rate is 5%; teleport up to 15 players and 15 tames


New Boss - Ancient Wyvern King

The Ancient Wyvern drops Wyvern Armor (Wyvern Head Armor, Wyvern Claw Armor, Wyvern Body Armor, and Wyvern Wing Armor, equitable on Fire Wyvern, Lightning Wyvern, and Poison Wyvern.) It also drops Magic Broom.
  • Wyvern Head Armor: reduces damage by 15%; drop rate is 10%
