Lost Ark Kazeros The First Update: World-First Race Begins December 3

The ultimate test of skill arrives in Lost Ark. Kazeros The First update launched December 2, 2025, bringing the most punishing raid content the game has ever seen. For teams bold enough to attempt it, a world-first race with prestigious rewards awaits.

The First Race Begins

Starting December 3 at 10AM PT (6PM UTC), the Kazeros The First Race challenges players to conquer a special difficult version of the Kazeros Raid Denouement: Final Day. This isn't your typical raid—there are no revives. One mistake, one death, and your run ends. Extreme coordination and survival skills are absolutely required.

The top 10 teams from both North America and Europe will be immortalized on official leaderboards, with their names etched into Lost Ark history.

Entry Requirements

This challenge isn't for the faint of heart. To even attempt Kazeros The First, players need:

• Minimum Item Level: 1740
• Prerequisite: Clear Act 4: Fortress of Destruction – Hard Difficulty (Gate 1 & 2)
• Limit: Once per week per character
• Special Condition: Ark Grid effect disabled during the event

The disabled Ark Grid means raiders can't rely on those extra stat boosts—pure skill and team synergy determine success.

Prestigious Rewards

Every team that successfully clears Kazeros The First earns an impressive haul:

• Title: "Lord of the Abyss"
• MVP Background: Final Day
• Mount: Brilliant Wings
• Lounge: Fortress of Destruction
• Insignia: "Conqueror: Kazeros The First Difficulty"
• Gold: 100,000

But the true prizes go to the fastest teams. Top 10 rankings unlock animated titles (Kazeros The First, Second, Third, and Top 10), unique stronghold structures displaying player names and clear times, and exclusive adventure banners based on ranking position.

Monarch Skins Showcase

Alongside the raid content, the update features a Monarch skins showcase with two stunning armor designs. These regal cosmetics offer players a chance to dress their characters in appropriately majestic gear.
