On October 8, 2019, a location with monsters was added to Black Desert Online in the outback of the Hasrah Ancient Ruins on Hasrah Cliff – the Kratuga Ancient Ruins.
How to get to the Kratuga Ancient Ruins
To get inside the Kratuga Ancient Ruins you need to go deep into the Kratuga Ancient Ruins and find a mysterious closed door.
🔔Press autopath via Esc – Adventure (F5) – Location Information (4) – Kratuga Ancient Ruins, this will make it a little easier to find the right door.
To open this door, you must have a 
Black Spirit’s Claw Piece or a 
Unsealed Ruins Slate in your inventory.
The Black Spirit’s Claw Piece can be dropped from monsters in the following locations: Wandering Rogue Den, Kuit Islands, Padix Island, Bumblin’ Buccaneers, Roud Sulfur Mine, Gahaz Bandits’ Lair, Pila Ku Jail.
Unsealed Ruins Slate – arrange Sealed Ruins Slate x3 into a [-] shape, which are dropped by monsters in the Kratuga Ancient Ruins (to combine, turn off auto-sort inventory or use Yaz’s combinables pouch).
The Sage class can enter there freely, without the above mentioned items.
Once you open the entrance to the Kratuga Ancient Ruins, the door will stay open for about 4-5 minutes after interaction, so a lot of people can enter during this time.
The Kratuga Ancient Ruins monster zone is designed for players with 230 AP and 300 DP.
Since you can’t freely enter and exit this area as you please, it’s a good idea to prepare in advance.
Use maids/butlers to more effectively manage your stay there for extended periods.
The rooms of the Kratuga Ancient Ruins are quite large. Monsters appear in large open spaces, spawning periodically along the way. All monsters resemble ancient weapons, reminiscent of the Hasrah monsters.
Monsters in this area can inflict debuffs such as -10 AP and also use control effects such as stun/stiffness/freezing.
The monster mechanics work as a warning system consisting of 3 levels.
The higher the warning level, the stronger the monsters become.
Level 1 – additional monsters appear, you need to destroy the monsters within a certain time to move to level 2.
Level 2 – larger monsters, Elqueesh and Belloten, will appear; they must also be destroyed within a certain time to advance to level 3.
Level 3 – Laytenn appears
