Great Nian Beast

The Great Nian Beast is a special kind of Nian beast that only appears during the Chinese New Year. It is much larger and stronger than the ordinary Nian beasts, and has the ability to weaken opponents with fear, ignite, slow and exhaust. It will also buff itself with "Inferno"and "Eternal Night" upon taking damage. However, such a powerful creature is only afraid of the traditional Chinese dragon lantern. Explorers can negate most of the debuff by carrying the dragon lantern to challenge it, and you will also deal increased damage and receive decreased damage.

Skills：
1、Swipe： Regular attack
2、Heavy Slam: Slams the ground with its paws, knocking back enemies.
3、Soul of the Nian Beast: Releases Soul of the NIan Beast to attack the enemies in front, dealing “fear” debuff along the way. (Immune to Dragon Lantern and players carrying dragon lantern)
4、Dance of Blessing: A special kind of dance among the Nian Beasts, which will buff itself with “Force of the Nian,” increasing its damage while taking less damage. It will reflect a portion of the melee damage taken to the attacker. Dragon Tail Lantern can eliminate this buff.
5、Flamethrower: Deals damage and applies an ignite DOT. The ignite DOT can spread among enemies during the “Force of the Nian” buff. (Immune to Dragon Tail Lantern and players carrying dragon tail lantern)
6、Outrage: Slams enemy multiple times and roars at the very end. Each slam deals damage, and slows enemy if it has the “Force of the Nian” buff. The roar decreases enemy attack damage, and decreases enemy defense if it has the “Force of the Nian” buff. (Immune to Dragon Lantern and players carrying dragon lantern)

Boss will buff itself with “Inferno” during the second phase, which will increase its damage.
Boss will buff itself with “Eternal Night” during the third phase, which will increase its damage while taking less damage.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2244940/PixARK__Wonder_in_Water__Expansion_Pack/

We’re excited to see all of your explorations and adventures in the seas!

For those who have been trying their luck with the ARK Defending Challenge, we’ve made some optimizations to make the experience smoother. Two new Christmas Carpets have also been added!

We’ve addressed a few bugs as well.

Check out the details below:

• ARK Defending Challenge beginner mode now can be entered at lv80
  
• You will now have 5 mins to pick up your loot in ARK Defending Challenge instead of 1.5 mins.
  
• Two new Christmas Carpets

• Fixed an issue with Tek generator not showing correct power supply range upon unlocking.
  
• Fixed an issue where snow house structures cannot be placed.
  
• Fixed an issue where players can disconnect upon transmitting items.

Dear Explorers,

In this patch, we bring you a brand new building experience as well as a new challenge defending ARK against Cobalt aliens.


By learning Cobalt technology, you will master the art of building underwater. Take a look at the new structures and build your favorite underwater base!

Vacuum Compartment
Vacuum compartment is a cubical frame with a side length of 6 meters. It needs to be placed underwater and powered with a TEK generator preferably. It is a sealed compartment that drains the space while filling it with air, allowing the player to breathe and place structures in it. You can expand the frame by removing the sides to attach another structure. Note that if the removed surface is exposed to water, the water will fill the entire compartment. Each surface can also be locked by holding E. Once locked, the surface cannot be removed until unlocking it, preventing the player from accidentally removing a surface that is in contact with water.

Vacuum Compartment Moonpool
It functions exactly like a normal Vacuum compartment but has a hatch on its downside for entrance.

Both blueprints can be obtained from the ARK Defend Challenge




Players can now participate in ARK Defend through an ARK Defending Portal.

Life has become calm and peaceful on Skyward, but it seems it won’t be for long! A newly hatched dino broke out of its shell, causing a purple light to tear through the night sky, opening up a rift. Countless cosmic rays pour through the rift and brutally tear the ARK shields apart. The energy of the ARK is scattered and collected by the Cobalt Aliens on their spaceship as it glows brighter! The planet survived under the blessing of the ARK, however, the Cobalt Aliens are starting to manipulate creatures to attack the ARK once again. Darkness has fallen and hope has faded. However, in the depths of despair, we’ve found the heart to grow stronger. Get ready and defend against the Cobalt Alien attacks once more, for the dawn will eventually come.

The Ark will reward players for their courage and victory. Collecting all the energy in the following places will reward you different set of equipment:
-Magic Island : Royal Knight Set
-Ice and Fire Island: Royal Set
-Cobalt Star Battlefield: War God Set

Additional rewards include chance of:
- Goblin Wonder Cabin exchange coupons
- Tek energy cubes
- Vacuum compartment blueprint
- Vacuum compartment moonpool blueprint
- Exclusive saddle
- Giganotosaurus skin
- Equipment Modification Core
- Equipment Elemental crystal

Collecting all the energy has a chance to drop new structures and a permanent summoning scroll of a rare creature. The Goblin Wonder Cabin will allow you to try your luck using their exchange coupons. The Werewolf Sculpture will add a nice touch to your buildings! The Cobalt Star Turret will provide the best protection for your base!

Clear the Cobalt Star Battlefield to truly shatter the Cobalt Aliens' malevolence. You will be rewarded with a chance to win a permanent summoning scroll for the rare BOSS creature Cobalt Energy Golem Hammer!

Of course the legend is just a legend, in fact, people believe that Dodorex may be the descendants of Tyrannosaurus rex genetically modified by aliens.

A Lepursa?!

Straight from the mad scientist's lair is a strange-looking creature with an equally strange name. Its unique appearance makes it seem extra-terrestrial, but it shares some familiar features with other creatures. The Lepursa has never before been found in the wild. Although it appears to be a peaceful herbivore, the Lepursa possesses surprising combat expertise - especially after being fed carrots, which stimulate its potential and give it a burst of power.
