11Sunken Temple of Life is a Transcendence dungeon in AION 2 and the first Transcendence content of Season 2. NCsoft announced it under this English name on February 23, 2026 and it opened on the Korean and Taiwanese service on February 25. The Korean name is 가라앉은 생명의 신전. NCsoft's January 2026 roadmap and the game client's English data call it Submerged Life Temple, the name this wiki used before.22It is a deep-sea themed dungeon where the boss Sunken Emon waits. Entry starts at item level 3,000, with higher stages asking for more.55At a Glance77DetailValue (KR/TW)Korean name가라앉은 생명의 신전TypeTranscendence, four stagesOpenedFebruary 25, 2026 (moved from February 4 on the roadmap)PartyUp to five players (four before July 1, 2026)EntryItem level 3,000 for the first stage, higher on later stagesBossesSinging Ellyde, Deep Sea Pydeon, Sunken EmonMain rewardsScales Arcana part (through Harmonious Crystal) and Fragment: Marchutan's Trace; the Frenzy and Pure Blood sets added the same day are crafted from Mysterious CrystalKinaBound since August 26, 2026 (half bound from July 1)9-Global service: NCsoft's global announcements name only Deus Research Base and Shattered Arkanis among the Transcendence dungeons, as the two dungeons of the global leaderboard event.

The dungeon shipped with four stages instead, and every later Transcendence dungeon has kept that four-stage format.1414Arcana Rewards1616The temple introduced the Arcana part Scales and two set effects. Scales comes in three grades and is crafted from Harmonious Crystal, which is converted from crystal shards that drop in this dungeon. The two sets themselves are crafted from the existing Mysterious Crystal. The dungeon also drops Fragment: Marchutan's Trace, the material for the Daevanion Marchutan added the same day.1818SetTwo-piece effectFour-piece effectFrenzy (광분)PvE Attack +50Boss damage amplification +5%; boss damage tolerance +10% while health is 70% or lowerPure Blood (순수한 피)PvE Defense +500Critical damage amplification +5%; Defense +1,000 while health is 70% or lower2020NCsoft's English announcement summarised the sets by their main four-piece lines, boss damage amplification +5% and Critical Damage Boost +5%; the Korean patch note gives the full effects above.2121Bosses2323BossKorean nameSinging Ellyde노래하는 엘라이드Deep Sea Pydeon심해의 파이디온Sunken Emon가라앉은 에몬2525Boss Mechanics2626Community strategy guides on the Korean service describe an entrance that has to be cleared, with a central pillar that sweeps a ring on higher stages; a player hit while airborne is trapped in a water bubble until an ally jumps into them. Bubbles are the temple's recurring punishment.2828Singing Ellyde3030Alternates in-and-out area attacks with personal floor circles that trap players in bubbles.Charges and sends waves down both sides.In her singing phase three floor zones appear in order and explode, followed by a raid-wide blast; players move into each zone in the order it was created.After the first song a water wall sweeps in from one side.When she dies a waterspout carries the party onward.3232Deep Sea Pydeon3434Charges with a fist slam and drops rectangular zones to one side and then the other.Moves to the centre, where four stones rotate, three red and one blue; the blue side is safe.Below half health Pydeon jumps to the centre and spins line attacks that reverse direction.3636Sunken Emon3838The final boss pulls a player away and leaves a clone at their spot that hurts the further they are from it, fires projectiles in eight lanes, leaps into Screaming Storm (절규하는 폭풍), and at about half health starts Judgement of Twisted Souls (뒤틀린 영혼의 심판), where inner and outer groups collect white soul orbs before they hit the raid. See Sunken Emon.4040Sunken Emon is NCsoft's English name; the other two come from the game client's English data. A statue of Sunken Emon was the Season 2 Transcendence ranking reward.4242The temple's stages carry their own traits. The Korean notes name Spore (포자), whose damage was corrected on March 4, 2026, Betrayal (배신), whose projectiles were made easier to see the same day, and Vitality Drain (생기 고갈), which reduced life steal and was removed on April 22, 2026. The route also uses waterspouts that lift the party after Singing Ellyde falls, and sealed statues with liberated elite guardians along the way.4444Later Changes4646Change History4848Date (KR/TW)ChangeJanuary 28, 2026Opening moved to February 25, 2026February 25, 2026Stages 1 to 4 opened with a new season mission setMarch 4, 2026Fixes to the entrance railing, gliding after the Ellyde waterspout and the Water Energy effect on some monsters; less damage to Spiritmaster spirits from Sunken Emon's zones; Deep Sea Pydeon could no longer have one skill negated by Evasion Stance or shield and weapon blocks, and several of its stagger and projectile bugs were fixedMarch 11, 2026Higher lift from the Ellyde waterspout; first sealed statue and liberated elite guardian movedApril 1, 2026Sunken Emon's Soul Erosion debuff now ends when it diesApril 8, 2026Fragment: Marchutan's Trace drops doubled until July 1 (event); a Season 2 ranking reward box with a Sunken Emon statue sold for 2 Quna; Sunken Emon's Screaming Storm hit fixApril 22, 2026The Vitality Drain trait, which reduced life steal, was removedJuly 1, 2026Half of its Kina became bound KinaAugust 26, 2026All of its Kina became bound Kina5050Related Pages5151Transcendence System for how the tier and its rankings workDungeons for every instance in the gameArcana for the card system these dungeons feed
