How to Beat Arch-Tempered Arkveld

How to Beat AT Arkveld



Increase Dragon Resistance and Defense

Like its regular counterpart, AT Arkveld can inflict Dragon Blight through some of its attacks. One main problem is that AT Arkveld hits much harder, so make sure to increase your Dragon Resistance to at least 20 through skills, armor, or meals to reduce the damage taken from its dragon attacks.

It's also important to improve your defense by upgrading your armor through the use of Armor Spheres and Armor Transcendence.

Bring and Use Nulberries

Several of Arkveld's attacks inflict Dragon Blight. This will cause your weapon to not deal elemental damage, significantly lowering your damage output, especially if your build heavily depends on elements. Additionally, this will cause you to not deal Dragon damage, which is Arkveld's weakness.

Consuming a Nulberry will remove the inflicted Dragon Blight on your character, allowing you to output your build's maximum damage and exploit Arkveld's weakness to Dragon element.

Use Dragon Weapons

Arch-Tempered Arkveld is mainly weak to the Dragon element. Try to hit its chainblades to deal the most amount of damage!

Beware of New Attacks

New Attacks

The trailer for the February 2026 update showcased two new attacks from AT Arkveld. Both attacks seem to cover a large amount of space, so try your best to dodge or block these attacks!
