BDO Monthly - October 2025

The  October BDO Monthly issue has just arrived! Grab a copy while it lasts!


Greetings Adventurers,

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower", and Adventurers showed us as many colours and creativity as the season does this month. So without further ado, let this month's reading begin!

 

 

Screenshots

 
We start this BDO Monthly edition with Adventurer Mirnakova's latest screenshot session! By making Dosa a Saja boy, Mirnakova really gave it its own Derpy version of Black Desert as a familiar. Together, they walked and explored all over the Land of the Morning Light and collected beautiful scenery. Can you tell where they went?
 
Nothing feels more like autumn than seeing moonlight, gothic, and Halloween in one single screenshot. We welcome Adventurer Ewciak to BDO Monthly with their amazing and haunting screenshot. The monochromatic background with the red rose blooming during the night, alongside Dosa's weapon glow, is mesmerizing!
 
 

Fanart

 
Adventurer Micis comes back with another beautiful outfit fanart. This month, we get to see the Outfit Lilien on Dark Knight!
We really love all the outfit details, which come alive with the rose bloom glow and its petals. We can't wait to see which outfit Micis will draw next!
 
Adventurer EruScarlet returns to BDO Monthly with an amazing pixel art of their Archer. We can't imagine how long it must have taken to get everything into little squares, and how to get the colours correctly so the Archer can be immediately recognizable. Which class would you like to see next made into pixels by EruScarlet?
 
We welcome Adventurer Domiya to BDO Monthly with their cute Witch Chibi art. We love the Witch Hat combination with the Primavera outfit, all matching the line in the hat and the Witch's Staff weapon. 
Which character would you like to see drawn next by Domiya?
 
We finish the fanart section by welcoming Adventurer Airh3ad with an amazing fanart of the outfit Lilien as well. We love the red and black tones, and in this version, the outfit has no cape! Are you curious how this drawing came to life? See the post in the forum and check out the step-by-step of the art!
 
 

Videos

 
Want to do the Black Shrine - Golden Pig King Calamity 8 to 10, but are completely lost about its mechanics? Don't you worry, Adventurer Papalicia got you covered! With an extensive, detailed guide, you will learn how to defeat the Golden Pig King. Feel free to jump right into the moment you need to see by checking out the timestamps.
If you want to learn how to defeat Sangoon instead, Papalicia also has a guide available for you!
 
Attention Succession Nova players! Before you go into Edania, make sure to watch this quick, detailed, and right-to-the-point guide from Adventurer Strega. You will be grinding through monster zones and fighting your way from beginner-level monster zones to end-game monster zones, including Edania, in no time!
 
 

Extra

 
We welcome Adventurer Manusete to our special Extra category on BDO Monthly, and to the issue itself!
The cosplay of the Goyen Armor, along with the Clead Outfit, makes an amazing, brand-new outfit. We love all the details, and how it looks metallic. We can't even imagine how many hours it took to create a fully armored outfit! Which outfit would you like to see Manusete cosplay next?
 
To finish this issue of BDO Monthly, we invite you to grab a cup of your favorite warm beverage and read this lovely poem by Adventurer Adotie. Based on the story of the Adventurer from the moment you wake up at the Ancient Stone Chamber until Edania, savor the words and reminisce about your own adventure.
