We saw some interest in bringing back our annual Valentine’s Day Event so we thought we would do a Valentine’s Day part 2 for White Day!

The day was so named because the color white is considered a symbol of purity and is closely associated with an innocent kind of teen love in cultures around the world. On White Day, people are expected to reciprocate the gifts they received on Valentine’s Day.

So share the love! Show us a screenshot of you enjoying some sweet treats with your friends or dinos using the new Valentine’s/White Day Decor! Must use hashtag #PixARKWhiteDay with submission to be eligible. Winners will win 2 Sweetheart for the Sweetest DLC Keys, one for you and a friend!

How do you find said decor? Pink Slime of course! Pink Slime can be found at the Novice Grassland and the Dawn Island. They can also be picked up and carried on top of your head! Defeating it will drop Valentine’s Day/White Day items. But more on that when the Patch Officially drops! HYPE!

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.
