11Chalice of Muspel is a Sanctuary raid in AION 2 that NCsoft added to the Korean and Taiwanese service on May 27, 2026. The Korean name is 무스펠의 성배; English coverage has also used Muspel's Holy Grail and Musphel's Goblet for it. NCsoft called it the most challenging PvE dungeon in AION 2 at its release.223344It is set in an ancient temple submerged beneath lava deep inside the Muspel volcano, which resurfaced after intense seismic activity.5566Global service: The global client's game data, as of its September 18, 2026 snapshot, contains this Sanctuary, but NCsoft has not announced it for the global service as of October 7, 2026.

The Judgement of Two Colours comes at 75% health, the Harsh version at 50% and Desperate Guard at 70% and 30%, and below 30% extra cross, circle and spread zones join the usual patterns.
