Removed duplicate in-body wikilinks
Expedition: Ordeal is a custom-difficulty mode for selected Expedition Dungeons in AION 2. NCsoft announced it under this name in June 2026 as part of Chapter 1. Lands of Sand and Snow, and the first Ordeal opened on the Korean and Taiwanese service on July 15, 2026. The Korean name is 시련; this wiki previously called it Trials.
The Ordeal is entered from the Expedition interface. Players set four conditions, a time limit, a resurrection limit, a boss buff and a dungeon debuff on the party, and the stages chosen add up to the final difficulty. Each difficulty pays out once a week, resetting on Wednesday, in an Ordeal-only currency spent at the Ordeal shop in the Expedition menu.
As of October 2, 2026, NCsoft has not published how this content is set up in the global build that launches on October 5, 2026. Everything on this page describes the Korean and Taiwanese service.
Ordeal | Dates (KR/TW) | Entry | Settings |
|---|---|---|---|
July 15 to September 23, 2026 | Level 50, item level 4,800 | Four settings of stages 1 to 4 each, total difficulty 4 to 16 | |
From September 23, 2026 | Level 50, item level 4,800 | time limit 1 to 3, resurrection limit 1 to 3, boss buff 1 to 8, debuff on players 1 to 2, total 4 to 16 |
The shop sells upgrade materials for the Ordeal currency. On August 19, 2026 it added a wing item, and on September 23 several weekly purchase limits were doubled, for example Resurrection Spiritstones from 10 to 20 per character, and new stock was added. Since September 9, 2026 players can also hand out a commendation after an Ordeal clear.
