Snowfield of Sorrow

Reworded the page description to drop the unsourced finale label
Snowfield of Sorrow is a Sanctuary raid in AION 2 and the last of the Chapter 1. Lands of Sand and Snow dungeons named in June 2026 to open. NCsoft announced the English name in June 2026, and the raid opened on the Korean and Taiwanese service on September 9, 2026. The Korean name is 비탄의 설원.
Its story is told on the Deltras page: a fallen hero of Elysium, now a thought-form trapped in a mental space, whom both factions have reasons to stop, working with his daughter Elpistera.
As of October 2, 2026, NCsoft has not published which Sanctuaries are open in the global build that launches on October 5, 2026. Everything on this page describes the Korean and Taiwanese service.
Difficulty | Level | Entry item level |
|---|---|---|
Easy | 50 | 5,800 |
Normal | 50 | 6,000 |
Hard | 50 | 6,200 |
It is a ten-player raid. On September 16, 2026 the health of both bosses on Easy was lowered by 10%.
Boss | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Triton | Middle boss | Called the Returned in Korean; breath attacks steered by the tanks, and a Frost Harvest pattern fixed twice in September |
Deltras | Final boss | Storm Legion Commander; see Deltras |
The whole raid runs on a temperature gauge: cold attacks lower it, a frozen player cannot act, and braziers or a warm party member restore it. A rope picked up before the final boss lets players pull frozen or stranded allies to safety. On the way to Deltras the raid has to find his swords to break an ice barrier.
The raid introduced the Seal equipment slot. Seals are crafted, or converted from the Gear Change Voucher that drops here together with Kina; Deltras's Seal is the raid's own. Hard also drops the Liberated White Night weapons and guards.
The same update added a Sanctuary Hall of Fame that records the first, second and third kill of the final boss across all servers, on Hard only. It stores character name, server, legion, class, the highest combat power and item level reached during the run, force position, date and clear time, ignores characters with no contribution and keeps the record if names change later. A commendation system for Expedition, Transcendence, Ordeal and Sanctuary clears arrived at the same time.
