11Fire Temple is an Expedition dungeon in AION 2. NCsoft calls it a hallmark of the AION series that it reimagined for AION 2, and it was the dungeon chosen to demonstrate the game's boss combat: at the AION2NIGHT livestream on August 8, 2025 the developers played a fight against Kromede in Fire Temple with four of the eight classes revealed at the time. This page covers only the AION 2 version.22Fire Temple was among the Expeditions open when the Korean and Taiwanese service launched on November 19, 2025. As of October 2, 2026, NCsoft has not published which Expeditions are open in the global build.4+Fire Temple was among the Expeditions open when the Korean and Taiwanese service launched on November 19, 2025. As of October 7, 2026, NCsoft's global notices have not listed which Expedition dungeons are open in the global build that launched on October 5, 2026; they say that all instanced content, including dungeons, is available cross-server. The rest of this page describes the Korean and Taiwanese service unless it says otherwise.55At a Glance7+DetailValueKorean name불의 신전TypeExpedition, the three-star reward tier together with Ferocious Horn Den; Expedition Ordeal since September 23, 2026PartyUp to five players (four until July 1, 2026)ModesExploration; Conquest Normal; Conquest Hard (since December 24, 2025); OrdealBossesBlack Smoke Murute and Red Spark Ignus (mid-bosses), Silver Blade Rotan (roaming), Kromede's Desire (final)AddedLaunch of the Korean and Taiwanese service, November 19, 202569Modes and Timeline710ChangeDate (KR/TW)Launch roster (Exploration and Conquest)November 19, 2025Conquest Hard added, with new achievementsDecember 24, 2025Half of Conquest Kina paid as bound KinaApril 8, 2026Conquest Normal Kina bound in full, Hard Kina half boundJuly 1, 2026Conquest Hard Kina bound in fullAugust 26, 2026Draconic materials from the cube bound onlySeptember 9, 2026Replaces Vakron Sky Island as the Expedition OrdealSeptember 23, 202611+Entry Requirements12+ModeMinimum levelMinimum item levelExploration35500Conquest Normal452,100 in the game data; 2,200 in a June 2026 player-compiled tableConquest Hard452,600Ordeal (since September 23, 2026)504,80014+Levels and item levels are the game data's, except the Ordeal gate, which is NCsoft's; a June 2026 player-compiled table gives the same Hard figure. Exploration costs 30 Odyle Energy. On November 26, 2025 NCsoft began paying extra Enhancement Stones in proportion to the Odyle Energy spent; Fire Temple paid 1,500 for Exploration and 2,000 for Conquest. Conquest bosses were raised in level on November 21, 2025, and the Conquest monsters lowered again on December 3.15+Layout and Route17+Fire Temple splits the party up. From the entrance the route forks to two mid-bosses, Black Smoke Murute and Red Spark Ignus, each in its own arena; the final room is reached by gliding down to the far side, where a Kisk lets late members rejoin. Two coolant control devices along the way switch off the burning hazards that rain on the mid-boss arenas, so groups often send players to them separately. Monsters here burn, so a cleansing potion for burn damage is part of the standard kit.19+Silver Blade Rotan (은빛칼날 로탄) rolls back and forth between the coolant devices. Player guides advise not fighting him, because he adds nothing to the reward cube, and note a ledge near the first boss where players can wait for him and other monsters to lose interest.21+Bosses1023OrderBossKorean nameNotesFirstRed Spark Ignus붉은불꽃 이그누스From 75% health it marks players who then leave lasting lava puddles; at 65% it jumps to the centre for a donut attack and chains jumps between playersSecondBlack Smoke Murute검은연기 무르트Arm slams followed by delayed circles under every player; from 50% health expanding stomp waves that can be blocked or dodgedFinalKromede's Desire크로메데의 욕망Most of the fight is gated behind a maze of fire walls; a January 14, 2026 patch adjusted its multiple fire arrow attack24+BossKorean nameRoleKey mechanicsBlack Smoke Murute검은연기 무르트Mid-bossRaises both arms and slams, then drops circles under every player; triple circle combos; expanding stomp waves from half healthRed Spark Ignus붉은불꽃 이그누스Mid-bossMarks players with a curse that leaves a permanent lava pool; jumps to the centre and chains leaps between playersSilver Blade Rotan은빛칼날 로탄Roaming named monsterPatrols the route; adds no cube rewardKromede's Desire크로메데의 욕망Final bossArrows into the sky and the ground, a clone attack on every player and fire-wall maze phases12-Two optional coolant consoles along the route switch off the falling hazards in the first two boss arenas.

He also stomps with one foot to start widening rings, and from half health adds stomp waves that grow outward in stages; all of them can be blocked or dodged with precise timing. See Black Smoke Murute.32+Red Spark Ignus34+When Ignus raises a hand and calls down a curse of flame, the targeted players' health bars turn green, and a few seconds later each drops a lava pool that stays for the rest of the fight. The marked players carry their pools to the edge of the room. Ignus also marks the floor under every player and dashes from one to the next, which is why the party spreads out instead of stacking. See Red Spark Ignus.36+Kromede's Desire38+Kromede's Desire swings in wide arcs, so the safest place is behind her. Raising her bow to the sky is the warning for a volley: one version fires a single stunning arrow, another a rain of small arrows, and she then leaps to the farthest player for an area attack. Pointing the bow at the ground releases flames around her that are deadly at close range, used twice in a row at low health. In the middle of the room she conjures a clone beside every player that strikes twice, and at set points she rises into the air while walls of fire sweep the arena; players weave through the gaps, and at low health projectiles fly across the walls as well. See Kromede for her other appearances.40+Fire Temple as the Ordeal1542On September 23, 2026 the Korean service retired the first Expedition Ordeal on Vakron Sky Island and opened a Fire Temple Ordeal in its place. Entry needs character level 50 and item level 4,800. The four Ordeal settings are Time Limit (stages 1 to 3), Resurrection Limit (stages 1 to 3), Boss Enhancement (stages 1 to 8) and Player Weakening (stages 1 to 2), which add up to a difficulty between 4 and 16. Each difficulty pays out once a week, resetting on Wednesday. A September 30 patch corrected the landing point of Black Smoke Murute's jump in the Ordeal version.1744Ordeal setting (game client name)StagesEffectTime Limit1 to 3Shortens the time allowedRevival Limit1 to 3Limits how often the party can be revivedBoss Enhance1 to 8Strengthens the bossesPC Weaken1 to 2Weakens the player characters46+Clears pay Tokens of Overcoming, spent at the Expedition Exchange Shop. Player guides for the top Ordeal setting describe a reworked Kromede's Desire who leaves flower-shaped pools that bloom into damaging zones and burst when stepped on after they wither, sends her clone at the farthest player and adds gate phases; NCsoft's October 7, 2026 patch fixed one of her Ordeal skills dealing excessive damage to Spiritmaster spirits.
