The Mystic Raid in Lost Ark is a limited time event that players with characters level 1300 and higher can enjoy.
In this adventurous video game, Lost Ark, players can explore a vast open world while hunting achievements and collecting items.
Although the game is primarily focused on the player-versus-environment, you can enjoy a player-versus-player gaming mode in which you have to defeat other players.
There are several activities that you can enjoy in Lost Ark, but it is advisable that you focus on the main story quest as it functions as a guide to Lost Ark.
In addition to the activities, you can occasionally enjoy in-game events, which are only active for a limited timeframe. During the Mystics and Mayhem event, players can complete 3 unique raids, including the Mystic Abyss Raid.
Mystics and Mayhem
The Mystics and Mayhem in-game event commenced on Wednesday, 26 October 2022 and it will conclude on Wednesday 16 November 2022. During this time, you will be able to complete 3 distinct raids.
To complete the raids, the heroes of Arkesia have to team up and use their skills and abilities to overcome unique mechanics. The raids that you can complete include the Vykas Inferno Difficulty Legion, Achates Trial Guardian Rand, and the Mystic Abyss Raid.
For every raid that you complete during the event, you will earn items, which can positively impact on your gameplay.
Lost Ark: Mystic Raid guide
The Mystic Abyss Raid reveals that Guardian Mystic, formerly known as the Herald of Vairgrys and the Ark Carrier, has started casting dangerous msits from the permeated chaos and has to be vanquished in this new, limited-time Abyss Raid.
It is up to you to defeat Mystic, along with other bosses in his lair. In order to defeat the Mystic, you need a character with a minimum level of 1302. Moreover, you have to form a party with other Lost Ark players.
The party has 8 players, but it is recommended that you use 2 ranged damage dealers, 1 high stagger damage dealer, and 1 Pally or Bard support player. You should also use ranged characters, as Mystic is deadly on melee characters.
Once your party is ready, you can enter the Mystic Raid, but keep in mind that there are different phases of the fight. After successfully completing each of these phases, you will have 2 options: receive your reward and complete the raid, or continue the battle to earn more valuable items.
There are different gates in the Mystic Raid, and you have to complete one gate before you can move on to the following gate.
Once you have completed the raid, you will be rewarded with 150 Mystic Tokens, which you can use to exchange for these items:
- Limited Edition Toy
- Legendary Rapport
- Aldebaran Gift Set
It is worth noting that the raid is only active for 3 weeks, which means that you can obtain 450 Mystic Tokens. It is recommended that you carefully consider which items you want to purchase since you cannot purchase them all.
