Patch/Thaemine Extreme

Thaemine Extreme is the January 2026 update for Lost Ark. It was released on January 14, 2026.^[1]

Summary[]

Downtime will begin on January 14, 2026 (12 AM PT / 8 AM UTC) and is expected to last 4 hours. Check out the full list of new content, events, store offerings, and other changes below.

A variety of events arrive to help with progression, with something for everyone — fun events for Guardians and Chaos Gates, and the return of one of the most dangerous threats in Arkesia; Darkness Legion Commander Thaemine.

Events[]

Thaemine Extreme Event Raid[]

The most powerful Demon Legion Commander has returned for an extreme version of the fan favorite Gate 4.

While very similar to the original Thaemine Hard Gate 4, Thaemine Extreme is an event raid with adjusted difficulty and patterns. Changes include resurrection at the 4-2 battle workshop, and a system where successfully landing Just Guards can provide buffs for yourself and the whole team.

The raid can be entered once a week per roster, and will be around for a limited time. Thaemine Extreme offers first clear rewards and a set of weekly rewards through an Event NPC Shop. The Event Raid can be completed once per week per roster, and while it grants gold, it does not count as a weekly gold earning raid.

Normal Mode can be entered at Item Level 1700, and grants accessories, bracelets, Dark Fragments (event tokens), 20,000 Gold, and Uncommon - Epic Astrogem chests. Hard Mode can be entered at Item Level 1730+, and grants more rewards than normal, including 40,000 Gold and Rare - Epic Astrogem Chests.

Gold and Dark Fragments can be spent at an event vendor for a variety of impactful rewards, including a Trail Effect, Relic Engraving Recipe Random Chest, honing materials, and more!

Guardian's Call Event[]

The Guardian's Call Event returns! Defeat Guardians for increased rewards. There have been a few updates and tweaks from the last time the event arrived to help with various progression systems:

Gold - can be received 3 times per day per roster
Processed Destiny Stone - can be received 6 times per day per roster
Astrogems - can receive up to 12 boxes per day per roster

The event applies to the Tier 4 Guardians: Argeos, Skolakia, Drextalas, and Krathios.

Argeos will drop Processed Destiny Stones (guaranteed), along with a chance for a Gold Box.
Skolakia will drop Processed Destiny Stones (guaranteed), along with a chance for a Gold Box.
Drextalas will drop Processed Destiny Stones and an Uncommon - Epic Astrogem Chest as guaranteed drops, along with a chance for a Gold Box.
Krathios will drop Processed Destiny Stones and an Uncommon - Epic Astrogem Chest as guaranteed drops, along with a chance for a Gold Box.

Chaos Gate Event[]

A new type of enemy has appeared within Chaos Gates, and defeating them will grant special pouches containing valuable rewards, along with special tokens that can be traded for various items!

Special pouches will range from Relic Engravings and Astrogems to event coins, and the event coin shop will come loaded with special event cosmetics, astrogem tickets and chests, and more! Join while you can, as this special limited time event will run until February 4, 2026.

Nukman's Illusion Stone[]

A new type of collectible item will be introduced in the form of Nukman's Illusion Stone.

The first elder of the Yoz, Nukman, sent a crescent moon shaped stone in the night sky to give the Yoz people hope and courage. It holds the enlightenment and emotions that Nukman had experienced, but over time it shattered into pieces. Collect Nukman's Illusion Stones for valuable rewards.

Players can start the adventure to collect the Nukman's Illusion Stones through the quest 'Bearing the Hopes of the Yoz'. Prerequisite Quests:

Adventure Quest - "Illusory Bird's Message",
South Rimeria World Quest - "Connected Duty"
Adventure Quest - "In Search of the Legendary Illusion"

Collectible Point - Nukeman's illusion stone will be opened after completing the adventure quest - "In Search of the Riddle's Answer". NPC Sarta in Rimeria will provide the rewards according to the collected amounts.
