- Located inside the Siren Cave inside the Jerassic Par, it's located away from the hunting area
- To enter this cave, quests need to be completed
- Raid: Uruka
- Mobs in this area can get very strong sometimes out of berserk, however there is capturing system you can use to lower the difficulties
- Capturing System? It's not to capture and breed the mobs, but it's to significantly weaken the mob, and this also gives other rewards

- Difference in level of difficulty will vary the difference in rewards
- a new Antharas minion has been added when raiding Antharas

Battling System
(Thanks to Hellrose for clarifying this, Hellrose's explanation: The 'Battling system' is a duelling system and it's consentual. It's separate from the freeform PvP system.. so yes you will still lose XP from regular pvp.)

- Dying from PVP will not have any penalties
- This has to happen within a non-safe area (aka not in the towns or castles etc)
- After PVP, those who anticipated will have restoration in CP100%, MP/HP50% (they didn't say whether it's the clan war or PVP)
- During PVP, instant warp skills can not be used
- During PVP, battle can be cacelled through NPC
2 people PVP System
-Requirement 1 vs 1 (duh... not sure why they wrote it there)
-Before PVP starts, one has to invite, and the opponent can refuse or agree to anticipate
-PVP time is 2 minutes, until one's HP goes down to 1HP, the system will announce the winner (no death penalty, no death)
Group PVP System
- one party can invite the other party to pvp, but the opponent party can refuse such invitation
- PVP duration is 5 minutes, all party members can not be doing something else? (siege/olympid/death/other battles?) <-- this doesn't make too much sense
