Journey to the Otherworld is an event for players above level 90. You gather materials in the first phase, then fight through the Otherworld, beat four emissaries, and face Asmodeus. Winning opens the Salvation map and a shot at the Damnation set and the Phoenix of Redemption.
The wiki lists the event window as September 1, 2026 to September 7, 2026, and the page was last edited on August 31, 2026, so treat those dates as the schedule the wiki published rather than a live countdown.
Phase one: gather Death Flames
During the first phase the boundaries to the Otherworld are weak. You kill monsters and collect Death Flames, then exchange them in the event crafting window for Black Letters, Water of Life, Dead Souls, and the Asmodeus Key.
The exchange can fail. The guide gives an 80 percent success rate for each exchange, so craft more than you think you need. You can hold up to 999 Death Flames.
The crafting items
- Black Letter: 3 to enter the Otherworld, and 10 more to start each emissary challenge.
- Water of Life: revives you when you die inside the Otherworld. The cost rises with each death: 1 for the first, then 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20.
- Dead Soul: lowers Asmodeus's HP. 20 souls cut 20 percent, 40 cut 40 percent, 60 cut 60 percent, and 80 cut 90 percent.
- Asmodeus Key: lets you challenge Asmodeus at once and skip all four emissaries.
A portal opens in Cape Dragon Fire. You must have your group closed and 3 Black Letters to enter. Inside, you challenge four emissaries, each with its own element, and they drop pieces of the Damnation set that help against the final boss. Each emissary costs 10 Black Letters. Only after all four are down can you face Asmodeus, unless you use an Asmodeus Key.
The four trials
Each trial costs 10 Black Letters to enter, and you can get up to 5 Death Flames back after finishing one.
- Trial of Earth: pick one of two Earth Emissaries. The difference is difficulty. Kill the one you picked. Reward: Damnation Helmet (1 hour).
- Trial of Night: kill the Night Emissary without dying. If you die you are teleported back. When the emissary is nearly defeated, a Damnation Metin (Heal) spawns and heals it for 5 percent. Reward: Damnation Weapon Skin (1 hour).
- Trial of Thunder: kill the Thunder Emissary without using items to recover or buff your HP and SP. Near the end you get a debuff that raises your skill cooldowns. Reward: Damnation Armour (1 hour).
- Trial of Air: kill the Air Emissary while a debuff cuts your defence by 500. Reward: Otherworld Talisman (20 minutes).
You need all four trials done before you can face Asmodeus, unless you use the key. During the fight you carry a debuff of minus 30 percent Strength against monsters, and an Otherworld Talisman removes it. Asmodeus cannot be truly defeated and respawns after each kill. The use of Dead Souls applies to every Asmodeus in that round. The first six drop a Damnation Chest, and every later one drops a Damnation Chest+.
Salvation
After the kill, talk to Guardian Hae-Tae to be teleported to Salvation. You get 15 minutes, and dying sends you back. The map holds the Salvation Metin and the materials for the Phoenix of Redemption, and a Salvation Metin Scroll spawns more metins.
Item shop offers
During the event the item shop sells a Death Flame Bundle for 49 DC and an Otherworld Key Chest for 49 DC. Some runs also list Dokkaebi weapons for 39 DC and Bk and Bl Dokkaebi Horns+ and Robe+ for 49 DC.
