- Hard
- Not on global yet. Korea needs 2,600.
- Cost
- 40 Odyle Energy per cube
On the way in
- Rotan patrols with a huge aggro range. Let him walk past.
- Two coolant consoles turn off the lava over the boss arenas. Optional, and they tend to pull Rotan.
- Bring yellow potions for burns.
The mid-bosses
Either order. You only need one to open the door, but kill both for more loot.
Black Smoke Murute
- Arms up means circles under everyone. They land late, so dodge late or block.
- Charge and boulder throw in a line. Don’t stand in front.
- Below 50%: three growing stomp rings. Block or perfect-dodge.
- Breaking his stagger cancels the big charge.
Red Spark Ignus
- Around 75% he marks people. Their lava pools last all fight, so drop yours at the edge.
- Around 65% he leaps in and sets the room on fire. Hug him, it’s the only safe spot.
- Then he dashes player to player. Spread out.
- His five fire lines stun. Don’t touch them.
Kromede’s Desire
The final boss. Her fire walls are the wipe, and they come twice: around 75%, then around 25%.
Wait for the whole party before opening the Mirror Altar door. Late arrivals get locked out.
- She lifts off and can’t be hurt. Stop attacking and look for the first gap.
- About seven fire walls sweep across the room toward the entrance.
- Each wall has one gap, and it flips sides every wall.
- Clear a gap, then head for the next one right away. Go even earlier if your ping is bad.
- Clipped? You’re burning. Drink a yellow potion. Healers, cleanse after the round.
Round two, around 25%
Same walls, plus shots flying in from the edges of the room.
Hard She pulls everyone to the entrance and casts Blazing Judgment. Reach the bright circle on the far side within 14 seconds or die.
Head for the next gap early.
The walls kill more people than anything else.
More Kromede
The rest of her kit
- She leaps at whoever is farthest away and knocks them down. Ranged and healers, know who that is.
- Frontal swings and a stunning stomp. Melee, stay behind her.
- Bow up: small circles chase everyone. Keep moving.
- Bow down: a line shot at each player. Don’t line up with anyone. You can block it.
- Around 50%, clones show up. Each fires a line, then swings a wide fan. Dodge the first hit, then get behind the clone.
- She enrages at 5 minutes. Most clears take about 3.
Hard mode
On Korean servers Hard needs item level 2,600, and on top of Blazing Judgment:
Hard Kromede’s clones show up from 75%, not 50%.
Hard Twice the drop chance on unique gear.
What drops
- Every boss you kill adds to the final cube, so take out both mid-bosses. Opening it costs 40 Odyle Energy.
- The cube can hold Enraged Kromede weapons (super rare), her necklace, earrings and ring, Corrupted Judicator gear and Amplify Stone Fragments.
- Mid-bosses add Murute Earrings and the Ignus Guard. Sealed Kromede Wings and the Fire Temple artwork are about 1% each.
- Every 28 cubes you pick a guaranteed reward: a Gear Change Voucher or a Kromede accessory. The weapon isn’t on the list.
