Krao Cave

Removed duplicate in-body wikilinks
Krao Cave is an Expedition dungeon in AION 2, a party instance for up to five players. It was one of the four Expeditions named in the first update note of the Korean and Taiwanese service on November 19, 2025, alongside Urugugu Canyon, Fire Temple and Draupnir. NCsoft's English global teaser site also uses it as one of four showcase Expeditions.
As of October 2, 2026, NCsoft has not published which Expedition dungeons are open in the global build that launches on October 5, 2026. Everything on this page describes the Korean and Taiwanese service unless it says otherwise.
Krao Cave runs in Exploration and Conquest. A Hard difficulty was added to Conquest on December 17, 2025, the same day Draupnir, Urugugu Canyon and Vakron Sky Island received theirs. NCsoft described Hard as the version with higher drop rates for Hero and Unique equipment and for Draconic crafting materials. Ranking buffs do not apply on Hard.

Order | Boss | Korean name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
First | Neglected Gadioton | 방치된 가디오톤 | Leaves damaging zones on the floor; a January 14, 2026 patch moved those zones so they spawn away from the boss |
Second | Enhanced Harcon | 강화된 하르콘 | Crossing projectile lines punish players who spread out to the walls |
Final | Ultimate Berk | 완성체 베르크 | Jumps to the centre for an arena-wide attack that only the cover of a rock blocks |
The English boss names are the ones carried by the game client's English data and may change once the global client is fully localised. Ultimate Berk's rock mechanic is confirmed by a December 17, 2025 fix that stopped Berk's shockwave from hitting players who had taken cover behind the rock. Strategy write-ups for Hard add that only one rock is safe on that difficulty and that Berk calls a stagger check which the party has to fill quickly.
Conquest Normal clears give a guaranteed Gear Change Voucher. Krao Cave is one of the three Expeditions that drop it, with Urugugu Canyon and Fire Temple. Two vouchers, one weapon from the same dungeon and 1,000,000 Kina convert into a different weapon from that dungeon's set through Substance Morph. Only bound gear from Odyle Energy Cubes and guaranteed rewards can be used as the material.
