Lord of Mysteries Sets Five Hard-Mode Dates for Antigonus Notebook and May Manor
The S1.3 preview schedules harder dungeon encounters from October 16 to November 10, with May Manor opening in stages and a separate Brass Book date.
Lord of Mysteries players planning their next dungeon group have five dates to mark down. The Chinese MMO’s S1.3 preview schedules harder encounters from October 16 through November 10, starting with Antigonus Notebook and opening May Manor’s raid encounters in stages.
The official October 9 preview places the version itself between October 15 and November 11. Its dungeon calendar starts one day after the update, then stretches across the following weeks. A group returning for the new patch will have to wait for some of the later encounters.
The hard-mode calendar
The panel labels this section 全新副本难度开放, meaning new dungeon difficulty openings. Each entry specifies 困难, or Hard. The Chinese names below match the announcement; the English names are working translations.
| Date in 2026 | Content | Original Chinese entry |
|---|---|---|
| October 16 | Group dungeon: Antigonus Notebook, Hard | 【队本】安提哥努斯笔记 |
| October 23 | Raid: May Manor, Garden, Hard | 【团本】五月庄园·花园 |
| October 30 | Raid: May Manor, Castle, Offspring Guardian and First Believer encounters, Hard | 【团本】五月庄园·城堡子嗣守护及一号信徒 |
| November 6 | Raid: May Manor, Castle, Viscountess encounter, Hard | 【团本】五月庄园·城堡子爵夫人 |
| November 10 | Brass Book: Antigonus Notebook, Hard | 【黄铜书】安提哥努斯笔记·困难 |
The split between 队本 (group dungeon), 团本 (raid) and 黄铜书 (Brass Book) is useful when arranging a group. Antigonus Notebook appears twice, but the November 10 entry specifically carries the Brass Book label. It is a separate opening on this schedule, nearly four weeks after the October 16 group-dungeon date.
May Manor also gets three dates rather than one. The Garden comes first, followed a week later by two named Castle encounters. The Viscountess follows on November 6. The preview does not give opening hours, so these dates should not be converted into precise reset times for other regions.
What the preview leaves open
The schedule names encounters and difficulty, but gives no minimum equipment score, new attack patterns or reward table. It does not establish how much harder these fights will be. Players will need the detailed release notices or the updated in-game entries for those requirements.
Our earlier report on May Manor’s weekly replay changes covered existing dungeon adjustments. This calendar concerns the upcoming Hard openings. The same S1.3 announcement also introduces caravan trading, which begins with the October 15 update.
