Kromede's Desolation
October 6, 2026 at 11:46 PM
Initial version (2026-10-06)
Kromede's Desolation (크로메데의 심연) is the final boss of Mirror of Scarlet Desire, a Transcendence dungeon added to the Korean and Taiwanese service on May 13, 2026. NCsoft describes the dungeon as a fantastical space born from love within the shattered fragments of Kromede. The English name is the game client's English data. NCsoft has not announced the dungeon for the global service as of October 7, 2026, so this page describes the Korean service.
Korean strategy guides and launch coverage agree on these patterns:
Pattern | How it works |
|---|---|
Kromede's Invitation (크로메데의 초대) | At about 70% health many mirrors appear. Within a short timer the party enters every mirror and presses the right replaced skill (a note, a ghost or Kromede); the number on a mirror is how many players must press together, and only its front shows the picture. Failure wipes the party |
Shield phase | Shields appear on each player and the boss fires into them; the party gathers on a marked player and steps from shield to shield in an agreed direction. It happens twice per fight |
Truth in the Mirror (거울 속 진실) | A ring of mirrors appears and players hide behind the one with no picture |
Shattered Heart (조각난 마음) | Two clones of Kromede target two players with puddles |
Path of Love (사랑의 길) | The room goes dark and players are teleported onto a path; they take the approaching hearts in turn, reach Kromede and stagger her |
Heart share | A heart lands on the farthest player and everyone inside shares it; the same player taking it twice in a row dies |
Players mark the order with world markers before the pull, and heart puddles dropped under the shields erase them, so they are spread away from the group.
Since May 27, 2026 Kromede's Desolation, rather than the mid-bosses Rotar and Robstino, carries the dungeon's Arcana drop chance. Its cube also gives statue remnants that convert into a statue of Kromede's Desolation.
Date (KR/TW) | Change |
|---|---|
May 20, 2026 | Damage zones after Kromede's Invitation clear on time; stagger animation fixed; the dance status from Path of Love is applied reliably |
May 27, 2026 | Shields that sometimes vanished during a skill fixed; its charm can no longer target Spiritmaster spirits |
July 29, 2026 | Projectiles no longer linger after the fight resets |
