Black Desert Mobile introduces its latest world boss, a ferocious dragon named Nouver

Black Desert Mobile's latest world boss is not to be messed with. Nouver is a ferocious dragon who rules over the desert, and intrepid adventurers with a death wish can take this behemoth on right now thanks to today's free content update.

Before you even get close to Nouver, you're going to have to brave some of the most treacherous terrain in Black Desert's vast world. Sandstorms, heatstroke, and hypothermia are just a few of the challenges you'll face when journeying through the desert. If you happen to make it to the end, you'll be rewarded with one of the toughest fights in the game to date.

Those sitting on level 55 or above will be able to take on Nouver for useful items such as the Grand Black Stone, which has a higher probability of dropping here than with other world bosses, as well as the 'Abysmal' sub-weapon. This item possesses Nouver's powerful aura, and is said to be one of the very best offensive weapons available in the game right now.

In future, Black Desert Mobile will receive fresh events to test your mettle on. The Ascension system will finally arrive with the game's next update, bringing with it a new skill set for all character classes. This allows you to boost your power well beyond what is currently possible. More details will be released next week. In the meantime, you can take part in quests and defeat a certain number of monsters to earn a full Epic-tier armour set.

You'll also soon be able to craft mystical weapons and armour from the blacksmith facility in your camp, increasing your character's power even further.

If you're yet to delve into its expansive fantasy world, you'll find Black Desert Mobile available for download from over on the App Store and Google Play.
