Initial version (2026-10-06)
Vakron (바크론) is the final boss of Vakron Sky Island, which bears his name. NCsoft's Korean notes title him 바위군주 바크론, roughly the rock lord; no official English title has been published. He was the final boss of the first Expedition Ordeal from July 15 to September 23, 2026. Everything here describes the Korean and Taiwanese service; NCsoft's global notices had not listed the Expeditions open in the global build as of October 7, 2026.

Vakron marks one player, whose health bar turns green, then deals damage around them and binds them in thorns; the rest of the party breaks the binding by attacking it. Since January 21, 2026 the target is chosen at random instead of being the nearest player. While the party crosses the island a stacking gaze debuff builds, and at three stacks his thorns bind the player; fog spirit stones on the map clear it.
In Rock Prison he locks his stagger gauge, pulls the whole party to him and raises a ring of rocks around them; the group escapes by finding and breaking the red rock, keeping its stigma skills for the stagger that follows. Rising Thorns turns the floor red and sends out three rings that have to be jumped; a final hit comes right after the third, so players jump again at once. Since December 31, 2025 that last hit stuns instead of binding. He also spreads vines from his body in lines, and he enrages if the fight runs too long.
On Hard his missiles leave pools that stay until the end of the fight, so players drop them close together, and after binding a player he blasts the area around himself and places pools under the party; the bound player should be away from his body. Player guides for the top Ordeal settings add that his hits poison, that Thorn Binding catches two players at once, that more vine lines appear after half health, and that he summons bullet plants that stun.
