Added official key art
Fire 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.
Fire 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.

Order | Boss | Korean name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
First | Red Spark Ignus | 붉은불꽃 이그누스 | From 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 players |
Second | Black Smoke Murute | 검은연기 무르트 | Arm slams followed by delayed circles under every player; from 50% health expanding stomp waves that can be blocked or dodged |
Final | Kromede's Desire | 크로메데의 욕망 | Most of the fight is gated behind a maze of fire walls; a January 14, 2026 patch adjusted its multiple fire arrow attack |
Two optional coolant consoles along the route switch off the falling hazards in the first two boss arenas. The English boss names are the game client's English data.
On 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.
Conquest Normal is one of the three sources of the Gear Change Voucher, together with Krao Cave and Urugugu Canyon.
