In Brief:
- Nine Chronicles (official site) opened its Fenrir World Boss raid on the Odin chain, giving players a one-week season to grind down a shared global HP pool.
- The raid unlocks at Stage 50, hands out three free tickets a day and charges a crystal entrance fee scaled to character level.
- Season payouts now distribute by contribution rather than a straight ranking split, and the Fenrir rune table was swapped for Legendary skill runes plus Unique and Epic stat runes.
Nine Chronicles turned on its Fenrir World Boss for Odin, opening the raid window that runs while the chain’s Arena sits in off-season.
“Fenrir has arrived in Odin,” the team said in the announcement. “The World Boss means business and it’s up to you to bring him down.”

How the raid works
Fenrir carries a single global HP pool shared across every player on the chain. Damage from each individual battle is deducted from that total. When the wolf drops, a stronger version regenerates and the grind restarts.
Each run is five waves, and the boss gets stronger as players push deeper. Combat ends with a battle grade that feeds into rewards. Grades run S, A, B, C and D.
Entry is gated behind clearing Stage 50. Players receive three tickets every day, or every 7,200 blocks, and can buy more with NCG. There’s also a crystal entrance fee charged according to character level.
Seasons last one week, or 50,400 blocks, followed by a two-week off-season of 100,800 blocks. World Boss seasons are timed to fill Arena off-seasons, which is why Fenrir showed up as Odin Arena Season 38 wrapped.
What drops
Four reward buckets sit on top of the raid. Battle rewards land immediately after each fight. Battle grade rewards fire when a player breaks into a higher grade and reset every season. Boss kill rewards go to participants once Fenrir falls, varying by participation count and rank, and season rewards land at the end.
Planetarium moved the season payout off a pure ranking split. The pool now distributes based on player contribution, and rewards are claimed individually during the two-week off-season instead of arriving as a bulk post-season drop.
Ranking still decides the top end. Players finishing between first and 100th pull Golden Dust and AP Potions on top of Rune Shards and Crystals, with amounts set by rank group and listed in the in-game World Boss rewards tab.
Rune table swapped
Reward runes for Fenrir and Saehrimnir were replaced with Legendary skill runes and Unique and Epic stat runes. The old runes remain obtainable through Summon, then Rune Summon, and can still be traded through the shop on the PC version.
The team said it hopes to keep managing content value by regularly replacing reward runes through seasonal changes in collaboration with the community.
Earlier release notes stacked up other changes around the mode. Stat balance on the six World Boss runes, three Fenrir and three Saehrimnir, was adjusted upward with no changes to skill effects. Rune enhancement success rates were set to 100% across the board, and a Rune Level Bonus system applies stat bonuses to equipped runes based on total rune level, ranging from 30% to 1000%.
Thorns skill damage on some Legend armor and world boss runes was capped at 200,000 per hit. A bug that blocked season reward claims while a Fenrir-type World Boss was active has been fixed.
Heimdall players get their own encounter. Saehrimnir was announced separately for that chain, where Arena Season 22 also just closed.
Background
Fenrir was the monster wolf of World 4. After his fall, per the game’s own lore, his soul dropped into the bottomless abyss of Ginnungagap and was consumed by the void’s dark energy, leaving him neither living nor dead and stripped of his own will.
Planetarium has been shipping on a steady cadence this year. The v200450 update went out June 25 at 11 a.m. KST with 30 new stages, 471 through 500, Grade 8 Transcendence equipment, new Collections, new items and active skills.
YGG Play and Planetarium Labs launched Ragnarok Breaker on June 11, a web-based roguelite auto-shooter set in the Nine Chronicles universe. Its crossover event carried a 400,000 NCG tournament prize pool and a Grade 8 Breaker Rune that removes enemy buffs in Adventure, Arena and Raid content.
“Take on Fenrir, claim your loot, honor, and glory, and prove your strength,” the team said. “Good luck, Adventurers”
