Level Up! Games Magazine (BR)

Grand Chase BR, Level Up Magazine, Translation 14 Responses »

Hello again, everyone!

Today, I’ll be posting the content of one of the Level Up! magazines, two pages about Grand Chase.

If you don’t want to read in this post, you can also see Firest’s video that contains this stuff AND the BGM music.

Big Page 1: Here

Big Page 2: Here

That Xenia Continent was destroyed by its own Gods, everyone knows. In Bermesiah, various travelers relate the saga of the Silver Ordeal and of the Sistinas, two heroic groups that fought bravely for their homes.

But, after that the continent was ravaged by the conflict, little was heard about those who caused this destruction. After all, what would’ve happened with the corrupted Gods?

Searching for this answer, Amy and Jin decided travel on a journey that would involve their homeland, the Silver Land, and Xenia, where everything started. And enemies beware, because the pair isn’t alone: by their side, will be all of Grand Chase.

Wanna know about everything that our warriors will face to find out the mysteries that surrounds Xenia’s destruction? If so check out the dungeons that are coming!

Dragon Worm’s Territory

The Dragon Worm’s territory was ever pacific and harmonious. But, in the last months, the location turned to a dangerous area, and is surrounded by threats that came from the dark power. The Oaks, for example, dominated the area completely.

As if all this weren’t enough, the own Dragon Worm transformed into a reclusive being and full of hate, that swore revenge to the Grand Chase members by believing that they were the people responsible for the death of Paprion, his best friend.

Help him to discover the truth and free the territory of this Dragon from the enemy’s claws!

Region Monsters: Dragon Worm; Taitaros; Magma Paradom; Enraged Oak Warrior(Hammer); Enraged Oak Warrior(Axe)

Victor’s Fortress

An evil energy surrounds the building, that is dominated by the dark power. Arriving at the Victor Fortress, Grand Chase’s members came face to face with various Dark Knights. Wearing black equipments, those powerful warriors utilizing the black magic against our heroes.

But the biggest surprise is the local boss, that is one of the Generals of Thanatos. You probably know him, his name is Victor, Jin’s ancient master. What could he be doing here? And what really happened with the Silver Ordeal?

Region Monsters: Victor; Storm Knight; Dark Priest; Dark Knight(Shield); Dark Knight(Spear).

Altar of Harmony

In a place where everything was frozen, the Bermesiah’s most dear expedition will face Juriore, the balance Goddess. Free her of the Ascendant God’s domination and obtain the fourth god’s essence!

Region Monsters: Juriore; Endarion; Frozen Kenkr.

Temple of Destruction

Arriving on the Destruction Temple, the Grand Chase members were already exhausted after many battles and enemies. But don’t think it will discourage them: right here, the nine warriors will face Perieot, the Destruction God.

Help Perieot recover his conscience and, as reward, receive this God’s essence.

Region Monsters: Perieot; Giant; Giant Worm.

Forest of Life

To avoid that her powers were dominated by the Ascendant God, Gaia, the Restoration Goddess, locked herself in the Tree of Life. But still, Thanatos was able to corrupt her, introducing the dark power directly in the tree.

Gaia transformed herself into a being that absorbs life and everything that is near her, not even Druids can survive by her side.

The worst part is that Gaia can’t break her own seal that created by locking herself on the Life Tree and, therefore, couldn’t free herself from Thanatos’ powers.

Luckily, Grand Chase came to help her!

Region Monsters: Holy Tree; Wrathful Storm; Dark Storm; Uden.

Castle of Domination

With the five essences in hands, Grand Chase can finally explore the Castle of Domination.

This castle is where the Ascendant God’s call home, and apparently, controls every divinity of the continent with supremacy and was also the principal responsible for Xenia’s destruction.

Here, every caution is insignificant, after all, the most powerful enemies will face our heroes. The temple is very well protected by various soldiers, which means getting to the final boss won’t be easy. Every enemy was trained by the Ascendant God and they’re led by him.

If you can defeat all these monsters, you and your friends will have the chance to face Thanatos. The boss has three different forms, and the battle will be divided into three stages. Good Luck!

Region Monsters: Thanatos; Hera; Dark Priest; Sataniel; Gargoyle.

Thanks to vironamas for informing me, and thanks to KayneSlayer for providing the videos:

TWO BAR:

On North American Grand Chase, the two bar releases it’s energy AFTER the skill freeze, rather than during.

RAGE MODE:

On North American Grand Chase, the Rage mode lasts for 20 seconds instead of 5 seconds.

Thanks,

I’m sure he’ll do more dungeons in the near future. Right Kowiz? -winks-

If not, I’ll have to record a run with him since he fails at recording.

Incoming Message from the Kingdoms of Kanavan and Serdin:

Greetings Grand Chaser!

You have done well in defending Bermesiah for over 1 year. The Queens from both kingdoms, and its people, would like to extend their most sincere gratitude to you heroes of the land. While most of our Grand Chase members are investigating the new continent Xenia, we are in need of able recruits to defend the Country from KazeAaze’s strikes and violence.

Grand Chase needs you to recruit 12 new warriors to join us in our intensifying battle against KazeAaze. There are many brave men and women out there who would be willing to join us, and even, be so eager to destroy the evil queen herself. It would also be a great advantage if you could seek out former or inactive Grand Chase warriors who haven’t logged in for quite some time and solicit for their aid.

When you have recruited 12 members to Grand Chase, we are prepared to reward you handsomely with the Limited Edition Pet Pierrot, exclusively for Grand Chase recruiters only. Furthermore, if some of your recruits also decided to add 12 more able-bodied troops in Grand Chase, they’ll be rewarded with the Limited Edition Pet Pierrot as well.

A card in which Pierrot, a circus clown, is sealed. Have this funny pet accompany you on your adventures!

Go and find these Grand Chase warriors of tomorrow! Together with the Grand Chase Masters: Ronan, Elesis, Lass, Arme ,Lire, Ryan and Amy we will begin training these new recruits immediately and help hone their skills to the fullest. Once we have finally strengthened our army, Grand Chase shall become a force to be reckoned with!

Long Live the Queens of Kanavan and Serdin! Long Live Grand Chase!

GM Mac
Royal Ambassador
United Kanavan & Serdin Kingdom

*Full Rewards for Recruiters, Newly Recruited, Inactive Grand Chasers will posted SOON!*

New Author + BR Updates

Grand Chase BR, New Author 14 Responses »

Hello everyone!!

I would like to introduce myself, name is Hibiki! But you can call me Sefir, too.

But, who exactly am I?

Remember the Lass’ ST Guide? I helped Cow make it!

And the preview video, I did D:

Firest is a good friend of mine, so I’m confident we’ll work good together =P.

Firest ended up showing me Cow’s blog, and I was immediately interested in helping him (I hosted my own blog, but ended up giving up to focus my efforts here), so that’s what I’ve been doing!

You’ll notice, as time comes, that I’m also working on a Ryan’s ST Guide, and I’m sure it’s going to be better than Lass’ one! (At least for me =P)

Oh, oh, oh! Have you noticed the “Portuguese: [URL]” on the start of almost every post? My work too, I’m starting to translate the useful posts to Portuguese! This is an effort to expand the blog to the Brazilian community, without cluttering this place with multiple languages

Peoples from bGC forums may already know who I am, Paprion there.

I’ll be working on bGC’s patches with Firest, and many other random things.

I hope I can be useful to grandchase.info, and I hope too that readers of this blog enjoy the work that I do =)

I’d like to start my first day by going ahead and introducing the latest update from Brazil:

“[Ronan's reborn is coming]
