What to expect in the upcoming live event?
According to a well-known leaker, ShiinaBR, the upcoming live event will have 10 days of build-up that has already begun on February 10 . If you take some time to visit the mountain behind the Warrior’s Watch, you’ll notice a new secret portal along with an NPC named Daigo.
The NPC is currently trying to reactivate the portal, where every day one of his masks will start to glow, shooting these beams of energy at the portal. This is what the final stage is going to look like before the actual event starts.
When taking a closer look at Dingo, you can see he carries these Splinter Blades, which were crafted using fragments of the Zero Point Shard and which were given to him by the Nid Ros.
It was also leaked that you’ll be able to enter combat soon at this portal to fight demons using a Typhoon Blade and a custom Fire-oni Mask and Void Mask. As got leaked by the dialogs, we will probably be able to enter the portal and save Jade.
That’s all we know so far about the Chapter 6 Season 1 live event. We’ll make sure to update this article as we receive more info from the leakers.
