10-player raid in two parties of five. Normal opens at item level 2,800, Hard at 3,000.
Ludra was taken offline on Oct 8 and returns with the Nov 4 (CET) update; Normal (item level 2,800) and Hard (3,000) both open on day one. NC says the returning fight has new and adjusted mechanics made for the global servers, so the mechanics below come from the Korean / Early Access version — we will update them once the raid is live. The first 20 parties per region to clear Hard before the Nov 24 (PST) maintenance get ranked titles, and every Normal or Hard clear in that window gets the Ludra Hunter title.
Official announcement · Oct 23 NCSOFT · Ludra Awakens on November 4th (2026-10-23)
Two parties of five, 40 Odyle Energy. Party 1 clears the reactor and Rahu, Party 2 takes Ketu, then all ten fight Ludra. One Ludra kill counts per week, and every 4th clear guarantees a Ludra Gear Voucher. Each Ludra weapon drops at about 0.56% per kill and Philosopher's Stone: Revelation at 30%, plus Abyssal gear and the Wrathful crafting materials.

Accuracy matters — Ludra parries a lot, and a Korean guide puts the target at about 1,450. Ranged DPS have it easier in phase 2, when Ludra sits in a corner and only his head can be hit. Place a party kisk before the final boss for a respawn point, and decide the red-orb taker and the blue / red sides before the pull.

Boss 1 / 4
Opening · Party 1
Party 1 attacks the central reactor. When auxiliary reactors are summoned, 2–3 players ride the updraft and break them — left, right, then centre; while one stands, the central reactor is much tougher. Breaking it opens the way to the bosses.

Boss · Party 1
From 80%: a slice-shaped area fills while a laser sweeps — it kills on contact. Wait beside the safe zone and dash in when the area is about 90% full.

A player carries a bomb with a filling purple ring. Stand next to someone when it runs out so it passes on; alone, it leaves a black hole.

From 70%: everyone gets a red circle and an attack hits everything outside them — stack on the marked player so the circles overlap. When players are thrown to the edge, regroup and drop your personal puddles on the outer edge, close together.

From 30%: four devourers appear and Rahu aims a laser at one player — line it up so the laser runs through the devourers. Each one you miss adds a black hole, and three black holes wipe the party.

Boss · Party 2
From 80%: go to 6 o'clock and dodge the lasers, then work toward 12 o'clock, killing the spirits on the way. When the white area closes, gather on the sigil in the centre while the healers keep everyone up.

An eye marker appears over a player and Ketu flies in to slam — jump the ring that sweeps out when he pulls his weapon free. When two orbs drop, two players (not the tank) catch one each before it lands.

From 50%: face the red orbs and turn your back to the blue ones.

From 30%: fan attacks target everyone. Gather on the marker, then dash out about 5 seconds before they lock. An unavoidable hit follows — break a soul stone just before it for a few seconds of invulnerability, and leave one for the healer.

Boss 4 / 4
Final boss · both parties
A stomp sends out a purple ring — jump it. In phase 1, from his right-foot side one jump is enough, from the left you need two; in phase 2 it's the other way round. Melee: step back before it — his head swings with the tank.

Anyone can take the four blue orbs. The red orb explodes on its taker unless they have a defensive skill up — 
Focused Block, 
Shield of Protection, 
Focused Defense, 
Evasion Stance. Decide who takes it before the pull.

At 50% and 25%: a 6×6 grid covers the floor and puddles keep landing. One cell hides a blue pillar that makes you invulnerable — it shows only when a puddle hits it. Ranged players test the outer cells, melee the inner ones; whoever finds it calls it and everyone runs in before the wipe.

Phase 2: each player gets a blue or red band — blue goes left, red goes right. Different colours hurt each other when close, so set the sides before the pull.

Red and blue circles appear before a wipe-level breath. Step into the circle of your colour about 1–2 seconds before it fires so the protection lasts through it. Ludra goes berserk at 10 minutes.
