Enter prepared, leave together
Know when each dungeon opens, what to carry, which bosses define the run, and which mechanics should be called before the pull.
The useful way to progress
Dungeons supplement the regional story and introduce party mechanics in a steady level ladder. The eleven major progression instances below each have a daily visit cap. That cap falls as dungeons get harder, from five a day down to two. Story caves and special instances outside this ladder can have different or no caps.
Minimum level only opens the door. Repair gear, bring recovery, know your role, and leave inventory space before entering.
Entry ladder
| Minimum level | Dungeon | Daily visits | Progression use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | Vicious Mansion | 5 | First structured party-mechanic dungeon |
| 35 | Immoral Cave | 5 | Supports the Fungus and Twilight band |
| 40 | Heroes Tomb | 4 | Midgame party checkpoint |
| 45 | Vile Champion's Tomb | 4 | Pairs with class-Gigas progression |
| 50 | Bestial Inferno | 4 | Major level 50 group milestone |
| 52 | Crystal Cave, Part 1 | 4 | First half of the Crystal Cave sequence |
| 55 | Crystal Cave, Part 2 | 3 | Second half and level 55 progression |
| 57 | Vinemaze | 3 | Control and add-priority check |
| 62 | Void Tower | 3 | Curse and life-drain awareness |
| 65 | Regna Castrum | 2 | Long multi-boss gauntlet |
| 68 | Lake Garden | 2 | Water, ice, waves, and phase control |
Lava Cave, the legacy Crystal Cave, Infested Bestial Inferno, Hidden Truth, and several chambers do not use the minimum level and daily visit pattern shown above. Treat their active quest or entrance panel as the authority.
Before forming
Before the first pull
Levels 25 to 50
Boss set: Shadow Maid, Shadow Actress, Shadow Hero, Shadow Footman, Couple of Masquerade, Book Evil, Burning Chandelier, and Ethan Vicious.
Watch for: fear, silence, life drain, strong stun, threat reset, water attacks, and freezing. Re-establish threat after resets and break line of fire.
Treat this as the first step up from Mansion habits. Keep pulls controlled, let the tank establish enemies, and save one control or recovery response for unexpected adds.
Take the current entrance quest and follow its marked objectives.
Expect tighter party coordination than open-field quests. Focus one priority target, avoid splitting the group across rooms, and verify that every quest objective updates before moving deeper.
Keep one visit in reserve if your group is learning and may need to re-enter.
Enter with your newly advanced class understood. Tanks should know threat skills, healers should watch positioning, and dealers should preserve control and interrupts instead of opening with everything.
This level band overlaps the class-aligned Gigas quest, so repair and restock between the two milestones.
Bosses: Kelkarox and Bacua.
Watch for: supporting adds with healing, plus fear, paralysis, silence, and other disruption. Kill or control healers first. Do not let a support wave reset progress on the main target.
Levels 52 to 68
Encounter names: Drillbot, Porterbot, Spider, and Tellus.
Machines and staged enemies reward target discipline. Clear linked support before overcommitting to the largest model, and verify the Part 1 quest state before leaving.
Encounter names: Tenebra.
Continue the same preparation at a higher level. Bring enough supplies for a second-half run instead of assuming Part 1 familiarity removes the need for recovery and add control.
This band also contains upgraded Gigas progression. Do not arrive with depleted consumables from that chain.
Encounter names: Leoverita, Pardi Wizard, Pardi Priest, and Bird of Paradise.
Watch for: binding, earth and fire effects, plus healing adds. Pardi Priests are natural priority targets. Free bound players and move out of stacked elemental damage.
Major threats: the zone's principal boss and Succubus encounters.
Watch for: life drain, Heart Break, Curse of Pain, Curse of Blood, and Death Proclamation. Call curse targets, interrupt or mitigate drains, and react immediately to a death-warning cast.
Gauntlet: Beastmaster, Beast, Hellhound, Magiablade, Dancers, Gigas, Slavemaster, Battlemage, Sniper, Magbull, Dialo, Kirika, Equs, Kapra, Beno, and Perator.
This is an endurance run. Assign ranged and caster priority, preserve supplies, and pause between major packs instead of carrying one mistake into the next boss.
Encounter set: Merman Knights, Mermaid Musician, Time Master, Evil Mermaid, Rose Jellyfish, and Mermaid Queen.
Watch for: armor theft, timed attacks, healing adds, invulnerability phases, water and ice, and repeated waves. Stop damage when the target cannot be hurt, control musicians or healers, and save movement for water and ice zones.
Difficulty tiers
The base difficulty uses each dungeon's listed minimum level, with no added level requirement. The next tier opens twenty levels above that minimum and expects a minimum clear grade and enough prior visits. No tier beyond that is open yet.
Use it to learn room order, quest objectives, boss tells, and party responsibilities. A clean base clear is more useful than rushing into a harder tier without recognizing mechanics.
Return once you are eligible and your group can handle longer fights and stronger penalties. Eligibility depends on both your level and the clear grade you earned in the base run.
Turn in objectives, repair, sort rewards, restore Anima health, restock consumables, and confirm the daily visit count before the party queues again.
