When the El Gang successfully shoots Perkisas down from the sky, the red dragon falls through the ground to reveal
his treasure room. The gang follows Perkisas and another battle ensues, but this time Elsword and his friends are
transported to a nightmarish realm where they meet Perkisas' other form. Would you be able to resist the Nightmare
and defeat Perkisas in this final battle once and for all?


The Fall
  • After the Battle at the Summit (Phase 2), you follow the fallen Perkisas through a hole in the ground. This will start the battle again.

  • Perkisas will use his tail and claws to attack you. Watch out for the warnings when he's about to use Meteor Shower and Fire Breath which you must avoid.


  • After a set amount of time, Dragon Perkisas will transport you to the Nightmare Realm. This is signalled by a purple crystal appearing.

  • The Nightmare
  • After Perkisas transports you to the Nightmare Realm , you'll meet Nightmare Perkisas (human form) and he will engage you in battle. He will attack using varied abilities that will cause a number of debuffs so try to avoid it if you can.
  • Hitting Nightmare Perkisas will increase your score so follow the indicator to find out which part of the map he transports to.
  • Nightmare Perkisas will summon a Nightmare Crystal along with Nightmare Monsters in the silhouette of the characters. In this particular time, Nightmare Perkisas will not engage you in battle.
  • Nightmare Crystal
  • Once the Crystal has been destroyed, you will be transported back to the Treasure Room where you'll find a knocked out Perkisas for a short moment and you'll receive buffs for 1 minute.
  • Nightmare Monster
  • The Nightmare Monsters will protect the crystal but you must find a way to destroy it. Nightmare Monsters do not affect your raid score.
  • Knocked out Perkisas
  • However, if you fail to destroy the crystal within 30 seconds, you'll still be transported back to the Treasure Room. Perkisas the Dragon will not be knocked out and you'll be given a debuff penalty instead. The debuff will change to another debuff every 5 seconds and will last even after resurrection but until Dragon mode only.


  • Buffs received
  • - Additional Damage increases by 30%
  • - Received damage decreases by 30%
  • - Attack Speed increases by 30%
  • - Critical damage increases by 30%
  • You will be transported back and forth between the Treasure Room and the Nightmare Realm until you run out of time.
  • Once the time is up, it will trigger a cutscene signifying the end of the battle.
  • Elsword's updated raid play mode Perkisas opens at select times daily.

    1:00 – 3:00 AM | 1:00 – 3:00 PM | 7:00 – 9:00 PM | 10:00 – 11:59 PM
    (Pacific Time)

  • When it's open, a character must be 1st Job or 2nd Job class to be able to enter.
  • If you meet the above criteria, and upon logging in with your character, the emblem appears to signify that it's open. It also appears as you enter a village or field.


  • A timer with Perkisas's symbol appears on top of the screen.
    Clicking on it opens a special boss raid window.

  • Click the designated button 'Enter Raid' to start playing.
    A character may be allowed to enter the lair once a day.

  • Once you've entered, there will be a 40-second interval before the actual battle begins. Other players may enter the lair during this time. A maximum of 8 players can play an instance together.

  • Try to follow the prompts and hit Perkisas as much as possible. The goal is to rack up as many points as you can throughout the 12-minute duration.

  • Unlimited Resurrection – You can wait 15 seconds for auto revival (no resurrection stone consumed) or use your existing res stones.
  • Here's more of what you need to know about the updated raid mode.

  • The beast Perkisas will have the same HP throughout the server.
  • Within each two-hour period, there will be 3 phases each represented by an HP bar.

  • When his overall HP decreases to a certain level, a new phase will be activated. Currently, Perkisas's Ruins is in Phase 3.
  • Each phase will have a different scene and battle system.
  • The Raid UI also shows individual and guild rankings for this play mode. End-of-phase rewards are based on these rankings.

  • Your rank is based on the points you have received in the raid. Points are based on the damage you have dealt on Perkisas and Nightmare Perkisas. (1 point = 10,000 damage dealt)
  • Points accumulate. Ranking will be calculated at a fixed time, and points are reset to 0 when the phase has ended.
  • No drop limitation based on level.
  • Aura will be shared with other characters.
  • Mounts are not allowed.
  • Know your enemy and know yourself.
