What is The Cursed Grave Keeper Hidden Story in Lost Ark?
The hidden story is connected to the field boss of the region, Rudric, and how he turned out to be known as the cursed grave keeper. Based from the entries, it appears that Rudric became so fascinated with overcoming death upon reading a Heretic book.
Rudric was then executed for this, but later came back from death because of the dark powers that he gained. He is now looking for revenge towards those who wronged him. He is regarded as the field boss of Rethramis and spawns at the south area of the Graveyard. Defeating him once will complete his entry in the Adventurer’s Tome.
