What are the key facts about The First Descendant Season 4?
| Item | Details (October 2026) |
|---|---|
| Season | Season 4: The Great Clash, from August 20, 2026 |
| New Descendants | Raven at launch; Ultimate Hailey on September 17 |
| New dungeons | Mega Dungeon (ends with Karel); Cradle of Evolution |
| New gear | Transcendent Weapons |
| Latest patch | 1.4.6, October 22, 2026 |
| Coming next | Henosis Sanctuary and Monet (November); Colosseum-A (December) |
Season 4 is the biggest content drop of the year for The First Descendant. Most of it is aimed at endgame players, but leveling and the story are still the entry point for anyone new.
How do Raven and the Mega Dungeon with Karel work?
Raven arrived as the season's new Descendant. The Mega Dungeon is a long, multi-boss run that ends with Karel. It rewards squads that can keep pace through several fights in a row, so stamina and a steady build matter more than one burst of damage.
- Bring a build that handles both groups of enemies and single bosses.
- Agree on roles before you start, such as who handles adds and who focuses the boss.
- Expect a few practice runs before full clears feel smooth.
What came with Ultimate Hailey and Cradle of Evolution?
Ultimate Hailey and the Cradle of Evolution dungeon arrived on September 17, 2026. The same update added trading for some high-tier weapons. Cradle of Evolution is the newest dungeon and a good test for a Season 4 build.
Ultimate Descendants are built from blueprints and materials that drop from your runs. Drop rates are random, so plan for repeat clears and do not trust anyone offering to sell parts outside the game.
How do Void Intercept tiers and the Extreme difficulty work?
In July 2026 Nexon merged Hard Intercept Battles and Void Abyss Intercept Battles into one mode with clear difficulty tiers, and added an Extreme tier above the old ceiling. You still fight a Colossus in a squad of four.
| Tier | Who it suits |
|---|---|
| Normal | New players learning the fight |
| Hard | Players with a finished main build |
| Void Abyss | Endgame squads chasing better drops |
| Extreme | Top builds and practiced squads |
Learn one Colossus at a time. Each has its own weak points, and hitting them is often the difference between a clean clear and a wipe.
What are Trials and Conquest?
Trials scale enemy difficulty with no fixed end, so you can test how far a build goes. Conquest adds timed hard runs. Both came after the season launch and give endgame players something to push between new releases.
How should you level Descendants, weapons and Arche Tuning?
Each new Descendant and weapon needs to reach level 40, and Arche Tuning is a separate board per Descendant. Leveling several Descendants also raises your Mastery Rank. For a full explanation of these systems, read our beginner guide to The First Descendant.
What is coming next: Monet, Henosis Sanctuary and Colosseum-A?
The roadmap lists the Henosis Sanctuary dungeon and the Descendant Monet for November 2026 and Colosseum-A, a PvEvP mode, for December 2026. Dates on roadmaps can move, so check Nexon's news before you plan around them.
Self-play or piloted: which is better?
Colossus and dungeon carries work as self-play through matchmaking, so you keep your login. Leveling and Arche Tuning are faster piloted, which means sharing a login. We could not load Nexon's full terms, so treat login sharing as against the rules. Read our account safety notice and see the First Descendant services collection.

First Descendant FAQ
What is in The First Descendant Season 4?
Season 4: The Great Clash began on August 20, 2026. It added the Descendant Raven, a large Mega Dungeon with several bosses ending with Karel, and Transcendent Weapons. Trials and the Conquest difficulty followed, and Ultimate Hailey arrived on September 17 with the Cradle of Evolution dungeon. Patch 1.4.6 landed on October 22, 2026.
What changed in Void Intercept Battles?
In July 2026 Nexon merged Hard Intercept Battles and Void Abyss Intercept Battles into one mode with clear difficulty tiers. It also added an Extreme tier above the old ceiling. You still fight a Colossus in a four-player squad, and drops stay random. Higher tiers give better rewards but need a stronger build and cleaner play.
Is The First Descendant still active in 2026?
Yes. Nexon released Ultimate Hailey in September and patch 1.4.6 on October 22, 2026. The roadmap lists the Henosis Sanctuary dungeon and the Descendant Monet for November and Colosseum-A, a PvEvP mode, for December. The player base is smaller than at launch, but content is still arriving on a steady schedule.
How do I get Ultimate Hailey?
Ultimate Descendants are crafted from a blueprint and parts that drop from specific missions, dungeons or Colossi, plus materials. Drops are random, so expect several runs. Check the in-game Access Info for each part to see where it drops. We never sell parts or Descendants; we can only run the content with you so the drops land on your account.
Can I play with your team instead of sharing my account?
Yes. Colossus fights and dungeon carries can be done as self-play. You join our squad on your own account and only share your in-game name. Leveling and Arche Tuning are usually piloted, which means sharing a login and carries more risk. Self-play is the option we suggest whenever it fits your goal.
Do you sell items or Caliber?
No. We never sell items, materials, amorphous patterns, Descendants, weapons, Caliber or accounts. We level what you own, carry Colossus fights and clear dungeons. Rewards come from your own runs and stay with you. Prices are fixed and shown before checkout, and you can follow every session on your private order page.
