Introduction
Ebony Cube replaces the current Cube/Boss Rush activities in Lost Ark. With the introduction of the new cube, there will be a new set of Una's accompanied with it as well as a quicker way to get your rewards!
Grab a build here to survive the Cube!
How to Enter
An Entrance Ticket: Ebony Cube [1st Forbiddance] is required to access the Ebony Cube. These drop from your daily Chaos Dungeon entries by killing the 2nd floor boss within them or daily vendors. Different levels of tickets are required for the levels (ie: you cannot use a Level 1 ticket for Level 3)
Note that Entrance Ticket: Ebony Cube [1st Forbiddance] can only drop from runs with daily energy!
You can also exchange old Cube/Boss Rush Tickets for new ones:
| Level 1 (1302+) | Entrance Ticket: Ebony Cube [1st Forbiddance] |
| Level 2 (1490+) | Entrance Ticket: Ebony Cube [2nd Forbiddance] |
| Level 3 (1540+) | Entrance Ticket: Ebony Cube [3rd Forbiddance] |
| Level 4 (1580+) | Not yet released |
| Level 5 (1610+) | Not yet released |
Cube Floors
Unlike the old Cube, Ebony Cube only has 4 stages and have a few slight differences to make it easier. However, you cannot 3x the tickets but the overall experience should be faster.
- Can change builds at anytime
- Only 4 stages
- No survival rooms
Floor Effects
You are given one random effect per floor. Depending on the effect and floor combination, you may need to alter your playstyle. Plenty of these positive and negative effects can help or break your attempt. They are displayed in the top right corner of your screen, some of which include:
Positive Effects
- Bonus Attack & Movement Speed

- Movement Speed Reduction

Effects that can be hard to deal with:

- Kill Curse - Kill everything before the timer runs out or your Cube adventure ends here!
- Cannot Use Items - Can be detrimental when facing a tough floor as you wont be able to heal with HP Potions.
As for positive effects, all of them are great help, but ones that increase your survivability are the best. Health Regeneration, Invincibility and Life Leech are always a welcomed sight!
