Liberate Shugo Captives and Gather Awesome Loot
Event Duration: 1/7 to 5/8
Ahoy there, matey! Cap’n Grogget, mastermind of the Shulack Pirates, has returned. This infamous leader of the Steel Rake, possibly the most feared vessel in Atreia, is seeking vengeance against the Daevas! He has imprisoned some Shugos in the Steel Rake Fortress and you’ve got the gutsy task to set them free. But beware: this mission will truly test your bravery.
Your courage won't just rescue Shugos: you’ll claim fantastic items throughout the event, like the Selection Box of Helios Weapons – Solaris, the [Event] Balaurea Odian Chest, and the Restoration Stone.
How to Participate:
Players level 76 and above can access the Steel Rake Fortress solo instance once per character each day. Instance entry resets daily at 9 AM.
Boost your entries with these methods:
- Log in daily and stay active for 2 hours to earn 1 [Event] Entry Coin for the Steel Rake Fortress.
- Swap the [Event] Freeze Frame with Katoshunerk for Entry Coins.
- Purchase your Entry Coins in the AION Shop from 3/7 to 5/8.
Invade the Steel Rake Fortress
By invading the fortress you'll amass keys to rescue the Shugos. The more you defeat the pirates, the more keys you acquire, which amplifies your rewards.
Stage 1: Penetrate the Fortress
Consult with Blubberinerk to learn your duties. Fight to the fortress on a Jet Ski (totally awesome, right?). Utilize the Jet Ski’s weaponry: the Drana Bomb and the Long-range Drana Bomb.
Stage 2: Fortress Combat
Inside the Steel Rake Fortress, Blubberinerk provides you with the Pipeline Blast Bomb to sabotage the pipeline. Destroy 3 Pipeline Controllers using it!
You’ll also get the Mounter for Enhanced Rascal: jump into the mech and wreak havoc on Cap’n Grogget’s crew! Deploy the mech’s full weapon suite: Fire Cannon, Fire Throw, Install Bomb, and Paralysis.
Eliminate Grogget’s wretched underlings: Doctor Arcetto, Madame Chichiriko, and Captain Muata. Once you beat them, seize their Slave Keys and rescue 10 Shugos!
In the end, give the returned Grogget a showdown to remember.
Stage 3: Claim Your Rewards
After vanquishing Grogget, you’ll receive one key plus another for every Shugo you save (maximum of 10). Utilize these keys to teleport with Blubberinerk to a treasure island to nab the ‘[Event] Freeze Frame’ from Steel Rake chests.
Finally, trade your Freeze Frames with Katoshunerk for premium items and bask in your triumph.
Important Note: All event items expire one week post-event closure.
