The update on July 29 included a single, significant phrase: 'Antharas Raid.' It signaled that the dragons—the most powerful bosses and entities in the Lineage universe—had been adjusted to be clearable.

However, two weeks later, there is still no news of a successful clear in Korea. Despite the efforts of various YouTubers, such as 'AdenIsNow' from the Zillian server and 'Libertine' from Gunther, who led alliances and mobilized hundreds of players to confront the dragon, the dragon's scales proved impenetrable.

It is widely accepted in Lineage that boss-level monsters have minimum requirements for a successful clear. For instance, in the early days of the service when player stats were low, many believed that even if a massive number of players attacked Death Knight for an extended period, it was impossible to clear because the damage simply wouldn't register.

Given that such a large group of players failed to clear the boss, it appears that even with the difficulty-reduction patch, current player stats still fall short of the minimum threshold. The consensus is that unless the top-tier players from across the entire world gather on a single server, the dragons will remain undefeated for the time being.

Interestingly, the dragons were already defeated on the TW server around July 11, well before the difficulty nerf was applied. Videos from Taiwanese YouTubers show the screen filled with Mages in Black Elder transformations, who successfully defeated the dragons by positioning themselves and unleashing a barrage of magic to overwhelm the dragons' health regeneration.

After Antharas and Papurion were defeated in this manner, the NPC servers went down, and a hotfix adjusted the dragons' stats. This made the 'magic burst' strategy ineffective, suggesting that the requirements for dealing effective damage were raised or that the dragons' HP and other stats were significantly increased.

Combined with the case of Death Knight, it is clear that current standard methods are insufficient to overcome the bosses' AC, damage reduction, and HP regeneration. Players need weapons with higher damage output and high-rank magic capable of dealing massive burst damage. However, with server transfers having just concluded in Korea and player power spread across multiple servers, it is unlikely we will see a 'Korea's First Dragon Slayer' anytime soon.

One encouraging sign is the upcoming 'Dragon Slayer Internet Cafe Papurion Raid' event. Scheduled for September 12 and 13 in Gwangju, Jeonnam, this second internet cafe event will focus on clearing Papurion rather than Antharas. With various on-site activities like weapon enhancement, raid attempts, and quizzes, there is hope that this continued push for dragon raids will lead to a breakthrough for boss clears on the live servers.
