• Overview
  The Nyzul Isle Uncharted Region is a challenging new battle mission designed for level 99 adventurers.
  This mission is an expansion of Nyzul Isle Investigation featuring increased difficulty and new gameplay elements requiring players to make dynamic decisions in the course of battle.

• Undertaking the Mission
  1. Go to the commissions counter and receive an Imperial Army I.D. tag.
     
     　
  2. Apply for the mission as you would a standard mission, then enter the battlefield from the Nyzul Isle staging point.
     *Nyzul Isle missions occupy a unique position in Assault. You will not be able to manually set level restrictions, and no Assault Points will be gained for successful completion.
     
     　
  3. After entering the battlefield, use the Rune of Transfer on the initial floor to select your destination.
     Before warping, you may obtain temporary items as desired from the Vending Box.
     *Nyzul Isle Uncharted Region missions will always begin from the first floor, regardless of your previous progress.
     
     　
  4. Upon arriving at your destination floor, examine the Rune of Transfer to receive your mission orders.
     *Objectives will be announced upon arrival at a new floor.
     　
     　
  5. Upon completing the mission objectives, examine the Rune of Transfer to proceed to the next floor, or suspend the operation and return.
     
     1. Proceeding
        After completing Floor 100, you will be returned to Floor 1.
        - "Travel to Floor ###" will transport you to the next floor.
        - "Travel to Floor ???" will transport you to a random floor.
     2. Returning
        To return, select "Exit the Assault area."
        You will be rewarded for your efforts with Nyzul Isle Investigation tokens.
        *No tokens will be awarded to players who leave via magic or time limit expiration.

  • The mission will always begin from the first floor, regardless of your previous progress.
  • Monsters will be stronger to provide a suitable challenge to high-level players.
  • New notorious monsters will appear.
    
  • Notorious monsters will no longer drop Vigil weapons.
  • New mysterious items and corresponding appraised items will be added.
    
  • New equipment rewards will be added.
  • Alexandrite and the corresponding cotton and linen coin purses may be obtained.

• Temporary Item Preference Settings
  To streamline the process of obtaining temporary items, players can now set preferences by speaking to the NPC Sorrowful Sage in Aht Urgan Whitegate.
