AION 2 Exploration — sealed dungeons and Balaur outposts

Updated 2026-10-08 · checked against Global launch (client 2.0.5.0)

The Exploration tab fills itself: an entry opens when you walk up to the place and closes when you clear it. There are two kinds. Sealed dungeons are the small solo instances hidden across every region — each has its own page with the title clearing it gives, under sealed dungeons. Outposts are Balaur and other enemy camps you take apart in the open world.

Place	Region	What it is

The Balaur have largely abandoned the outpost after reporting the phenomenon, leaving only basic defenses and security measures for tracking experiment progress.
Rogue Sky Fortress	Eltnen	A fortress occupied by outlaws operating in the Lankusis Plateau and led by their captain, Rumer. In a time where fully ascended Daevas are scarce, Rumer’s gang is a rare exception; every single member is a Daeva with wings. Utilizing this advantage, they have built a stronghold on a sky island far beyond the reach of most people, giving them free rein to terrorize the region.
Suspicious Ruins	Eltnen	The lunatic researcher Sellutey intends to create a new world order by combining Lepharist technology with sorcery. However, his rogue methods made him unpopular among his fellow Lepharists. Eventually, he came to occupy these ancient ruins, where he continues to focus on his life's work.
Ashen Campsite	Morheim	Formerly a Legion outpost overseeing the Muspel Volcano Zone, it fell into ruin following a volcanic eruption. It now serves as the base of a cult that worships the volcano.
Cursed Snowfield Hideout	Morheim	A Karas den located in northern Morheim. Originally a hideout for a small group of Nornir, it was eventually raided by the Balaur. Most of its inhabitants were either murdered for resisting or processed as materials for Fafnite, leaving behind a cursed legacy that deters anyone from approaching the area.
Dharvata Surveillance Base	Morheim	A Balaur surveillance base built to aid the search for the Ascension Artifact. Functionally a forward base, it collects intel from the fake Fate Archons and reports any findings to the Fafnir Brigade's main forces. The base is littered with Fafnium, which is used to trap the souls of Daeva captured by the fake Fate Archons. Much of the victims tend to be Kromede's followers.
Dinakra Sky Outpost	Morheim	A floating island that broke away during the collapse of the Arkanis Sky Temple, now serving as a Balaur sky outpost. It is overseen by Dinakra, a Balaur who is content with his rank of outpost commander and has little interest in pursuing greater power.
Fallen Temple Ruins	Morheim	The ruins of a temple on a sky island, brought down by a direct strike from a Balaur Dredgion. It has since become the lair of renegade Daeva, who extort and murder any other Daeva who cross their path.
Ice Canyon Campsite	Morheim	A former camp for lumberjacks and hunters from the days when the Patamor Plains were still a forest. Long abandoned, it was rumored to have been resettled by outsiders. Now, only their ghosts roam the site, alongside fearless outlaws who have turned the haunted camp into their base of operations.
Canyon Thieves Den	Verteron	A band of bandits settled at the bottom of the Canyon. They appeared here after the illusionary enchantment that protected Zumion Village and the Canyon was removed. They cause trouble by stealing and raiding the nearby Notos Legion bases. They also attack the Spirits traveling to and from the bottom of the Canyon, causing the Spirits to become violent.
Cohta Outpost	Verteron	An outpost garrisoned by low-level Balaur troops, serving as a watchtower over the Ellun River Midstream and Verteron Fortress Ruins. Any Shugo or Daeva seen passing by will likely be attacked solely for entertainment.
Deserter Encampment	Verteron	This is a gathering place for the Daeva deserters from the Illusion Cavaliers. When the Illusion Cavaliers were exterminated, many Daeva despaired, abandoned their pride as Daeva, and left the fortress. They have gone their own way to live harsh, brutal lives.
Forest Shade Execution Site	Verteron	The hideout of Selmar and his fellow Daeva, who are driven by delusions to mercilessly attack innocent Daeva. They believe themselves to be the only true Daeva, and all Daeva who pass through to be their enemies.
Gargos Thieves Campsite	Verteron	A band of thieves settled in the Pilgrim's Ridge. Their main targets are the residents of Zumion Village and pilgrims traveling to and from there. In addition to robbing pilgrims of their goods, they are also known to enjoy kidnap and blackmail.
Maktashan Outpost	Verteron	An outpost occupied by the Balaur. This place was a fierce battlefield between the Balaur and the Daeva, but after the Daeva were defeated, the Balaur took over here. It is now used by the Balaur as an observation post to monitor the Ellun River Marsh.
Mantasch Patrol Base	Verteron	A base for members of the Nahid Brigade patrolling the Kraka Footpath, with a particular focus on the direction of Zumion Village. It also serves as a hub for gathering small amounts of Drana generated in the outskirts and transporting it in bulk to the Nahid Brigade's main force.

Poacher's Base	Verteron	A pack that hunts indiscriminately in the Tolbas Forest. They don't hesitate to attack other humans or Shugo. In particular, they are catching a lot of Biruta, upsetting the balance of the forest.
Renegade Hideout	Verteron	A hideout for Daeva who betrayed the Notos Legion. Instead of fighting the Balaur, they now ambush and rob pilgrims on the road. The looted supplies are piled throughout the hideout.
Romlon's Hideout	Verteron	Once a small legion that resisted the Balaur, after a particularly brutal defeat, they decided instead to use illusion magic known as the Eye of Enchantment to abduct villagers in pursuit of expanding their influence.
Sabga Balaur Campsite	Verteron	A Balaur Prison Compound located along the Kraka Footpath. Due to its environment being well-suited for incubation of Dratona, it is currently used as a temporary hatching ground.
Sehna Outpost	Verteron	An outpost of a chasing unit of Balaur, led by Sehna. It is tasked with killing experiments that escape from the stronghold or run amok.
Ugaros Thieves Campsite	Verteron	The thieves led by Ugaros. Their main targets are refugees trying to get to the Dawn Legion Base. They are notorious for raiding campsites with refugees on several occasions.

Sealed dungeons (162)

Place	Region	What it is
Abandoned Archon Jail		Moslan Forest bandits have made a hideout out of an old prison for Asmodian Daeva.
Abandoned Kromede Base		A temporary base for Kromede, back when she was still active in Morheim. Abandoned ever since Kromede claimed the Sky Island as her base, it is now occupied by servants of Fafnir bewitched by the Domination Stone.
Abandoned Life Hideout		When the Ishtar Brigade laid waste to Eltnen, the Life Daeva paid a heavy toll in blood. Those who survived withdrew to hidden outposts, quietly working to restore their ruined home. But as the Lepharists invaded, the last of the Life Daeva were forced into hiding and ultimately disappeared. Though this cave once sheltered them, it now stands empty and forgotten, stripped of its original purpose.
Abandoned Memorial Room		A place where the Nornir Priestess Soirel would revere the memory of the dead alongside believers, until a sudden attack by the Balaur resulted in all those present having their souls taken from them. Now the memorial stands unmaintained and unvisited.
Abandoned Odylium Cave		This is one of the few places with Odylium on Verteron, though the Odylium may have been exhausted. The Sura who escaped from the laboratories of the Nahid Brigade have gathered here, drawn by the Odyle. Some of the Sura were once Guardians, Daeva soldiers of the Elysea. Traces of their honorable Daeva past can be found in their possessions.
Abandoned One's Grave		Even noble blood could not save you from the plague that began to spread after Odyle became depleted. Behit, the last remaining heir of a noble family that stayed outside the Bulwark, buried his family with his own hands after they became Karas, and then entered the Abandoned Grave and locked himself within.
Akilo Thieves Den		A den of the Akilo Thieves who have become somewhat notorious in the Ellun River Midstream.
All-Curing Cave		This cave is rumored to contain a miraculous cure-all mushroom. But none who've entered in search of it have ever returned.

Concentrated fire from the Balaur has reduced its entrance to rubble, giving it the unassuming appearance of a cave. The valuables within are still intact, though guarded by the wraiths of Daeva who fell during the attack.
Bibliophile's Grave		It is the grave of an unknown reader who never let go of a book until the moment of the death. There may have been some rare books in the reader's collection.

Blades Secret Repository		One of the storages used by the Blades when they were mainly operating in Morheim. Gerod is said to have frequented the repository despite the area's steep terrain.

Blue Dragon's Trap		A place where the Fafnium used throughout the Sanctum Outpost is managed by the Lagta Brigade. The Lagta Brigade has been using Fafnium created by Dragon Lord Fafnir to steal the souls of countless Daeva and control their empty flesh. This place is being guarded by Sentinel Nuraka of the Lagta Brigade.
Broken Hall of Knowledge		A site assumed to be a former part of Zumion Temple. Now little more than broken ruins, perhaps it might contain records of ancient times.
Camouflaged Fate Archon Base		A training base for Fate Archons under Sigebert's command. What looks like an unassuming cave from the outside actually houses an elaborate fortress full of security devices meant to deter intruders.

Cave of the Stranded		A cave rumored to be haunted by the souls of Elyos unable to return to Elysea. Stories say that the Elyos here were trapped in Asmodae while investigating the Abyss alongside Deltras, the Guardian of Elysium.
Chilly Hideout		It is not uncommon for those undergoing Sura mutation to deny reality and seek to return to their original forms by curing their symptoms, hiding away as they conduct research through often unethical methods.
Closed Hideout		Karas fled the village to this cave, but their fate could not be avoided. Though sealed in the past, the ravages of time have once again reopened this Karas-infested den. They continue to lurk within, mad and hungry for prey.
Collapsed Fortress Basement		The underground part of the fallen Verteron Fortress. It is used by the Krall as their residence.
Corrupted Spiritmaster's Residence		A cave serving as the hiding place of Deios, a corrupted Spiritmaster who was one of many who lost their way following Kaisinel's extinction and the dissolution of the Illusion Cavaliers. Out of sight of other Daeva, Deios has been researching dangerous magic in hopes of finding a way to control the spirits of Etheria.
Cursed Hideout		Sura are Daeva who mutated after having all of their life energy drained by the Balaur. A number of Sura secluded themselves in caves while they still retained their sanity, attempting to halt their mutation. Ultimately, however, all succumbed to their fate of becoming mindless monsters.
Dark Root Cave		Home to an Agrint contaminated by Drana. A valuable treasure is said to lie unattended somewhere inside.
Deadly Poison Den		A cave located deep in the Tolbas Forest. The cave is inhabited by highly poisonous plants and animals, making it difficult to access.
Deep Underground Cave		Inherently inquisitive, the Creion are famed for seeking out dangerous places to conduct dangerous experiments. This cave is one of many such places, abandoned following an experiment that ended in failure. However, perhaps they left some valuable items behind.
Deep and Dark Pit		Following Kaisinel's disappearance, contracts with the spirits were broken and Etheria grew increasingly unstable, resulting in many spirits turning violent. This cave is one such place overrun with unruly spirits.
Defunct Creion Laboratory		The Creion of Eltnen used their advanced technology to combat the desertification of the region and repel the invading Balaur. However, as Eltnen was never historically a stronghold for their race, their individual efforts quickly hit a wall, forcing most Creion to abandon the wasteland. Yet, a researcher named Malgerre refused to leave, determined to perfect a way to save Eltnen. Continuing his work alone in a small cave, Malgerre’s obsession eventually drove him to use his own body as a test subject. Tragically, the experiment ended in catastrophic failure, mutating him into a hideous monster.
Dehinon's Hideout		The hiding place of Dehinon, who is both Daeva and non-Daeva. Kidnapped and taken to the Nahid Brigade's base, he managed to escape in the process of being turned into a Sura. Hiding in this cave with his comrades, he is slowly losing his sanity.

Dratona Cave		A cave full of Dratona eggs. The adult Dratona Baratuna vigilantly guards the eggs.
Dratona Outpost		An outpost garrisoned by the Dratona troops who monitor the Drana Plantation.
Drok the Outlaw's Den		Most Eiron Hill refugees are peaceful and law-abiding, maintaining good relations with the Tsenka Merchants and Chloris. Drok and his band of outlaws are an outlier. By inciting disgruntled refugees to desert their camp, Drok has established a base for him and his group. Now operating as marauders, they survive on scraps of the chaos left behind by the Hilsrother Marauders and Lepharists.
Dusk Pit		A hiding place of Daeva who have strayed from the Daeva path and now serve the Balaur.
Empty Cave		An ancient cave where the Lepharist once conducted Krao experiments. Now abandoned, but the test subjects are said to still wander around the cave.

Fafnite Storage Room		This storage room is where the Balaur imprison Daeva to extract Fafnite from them. It is said that such storage rooms contain not only the Fafnium, but also the Balaur manual on Fafnite and Fafnium.
Fallen Haven		As Eltnen suffered relentless invasions by the Balaur and the Lepharists, many Daeva became part of the ever-growing list of casualties. Tifus, a Life Daeva, secretly moved the bodies of the fallen to a secluded cavern in the hopes that his kin could return to AION's embrace. However, AION's fall made it impossible for the dead to return to Odyle. Instead, they rotted within the cave, mutating into vile contaminations. Tifus, who sought only to grant his fellow Daeva their final rest, succumbed to the contamination as well. Burdened by resentment and unable to return to Odyle, he remains forever entombed within the dark cavern as a revenant.
Fanatics' Den		Within this cave, Zikel's zealots recklessly offer sacrifices in twisted faith. The gathered offerings of victims are presented as tribute to Zikel.
Fate Temple		A temple where Fate Archon candidates once trained and studied Marchutan’s scriptures. Following the massacre of the instructors and candidates by Sigebert’s loyalists, the site is now haunted by vengeful souls who guard the temple's treasures from outsiders.
Filth Pit		A cave located in the Contaminated Marsh, polluted by the sewage and refuse of Nahid Brigade Fortress and the Drana Plantation. Among the waste are a number of documents detailing the Balaur's Surana experiments.
Filthy Cave		A cave once filled with clean groundwater, now tainted by the contaminated Mystic Spring. With the fresh water cut off, all it attracts is creatures who thrive on its filth.
Final Haven		In their darkest hour, a number of Daeva gathered all they had and fled to a hidden cave behind the Basfelt Waterfall. Some ventured out to scout but never returned. Overcome by fear, those left behind stayed in this final refuge, waiting and slowly fading away.

Forgotten Spring		A spring that was abandoned following the Balaur Invasion. Treasures moved here during its construction still remain. However, the area is highly dangerous, as Slimes contaminated by the Mystic Spring of Anathe roam the area.
Fortress Grave		A burial vault beneath Verteron Fortress. It likely contains a great number of Daeva relics, with its underground location having allowed it to escape Balaur bombardment.
Fortress Jail		A jail situated under the Verteron Fortress. Though currently under Krall control, it still contains many relics and writings of Illusion Cavaliers.
Fortuneteller's Grave		The Three Sisters of Fate who lead the Nornir are brilliant diviners and prophets. Some of their students once claimed to be greater prophets than their teachers, only to meet their end in this cave after they hid away in fear of a future where they saw themselves turning into Karas.
Frozen Land of Fate		A hideout where the surviving true Fate Archons once stayed. Pledging their eternal loyalty to their Empyrean Lord and High Priest, these Archons met their end here, unable to escape.
Fugitive Hideout		A hiding place storing items stolen by fugitives from Lacephin Village. The stash contains a variety of items, including a book on magic—which was used by one of the fugitives to seal the storage door.
Fungie Habitat		A cave containing abnormal amounts of Fungie. Rumor says that treasure lies deep within, but none have successfully ventured far enough inside.
Gravarax Research Center		A research facility where countless Gravi are harvested to evolve into Gravarax. Gravarax are an object of fascination for some Lepharist researchers due to their natural evolutionary processes. By studying Gravarax, these researchers seek to replicate the same mechanisms of evolution in their own test subjects.
Grave of the Wrathful Dead		After being defeated by Ishtar's armies, some Daeva suffered extinction, some became Sura, and some even became Apparitions. The wrathful screams of those Daeva Apparitions are heard day and night.
Guardian Statues' Cave		An artificial cave created by Fire Temple worshipers. Much care went into maintaining the cave, as the Guardian statues were relocated in an attempt to counteract Water Aura from the ocean. Now, however, it lies abandoned.
Guardian's Armory		A secret armory of the Guardians who resisted the Balaur to the last. No one knows if there are still any useful weapons.
Herb Cave		A cave known to grow rare herbs. However, the animals that ate the herbs grew too strong, and the cave became inaccessible to humans.

The facility is home to a myriad of research initiatives—including processing Drana into energy and breeding test subjects. However, its test subject research has been halted for reasons unknown.
Hidden Ruins Altar		The place where Spatalos, former high commander of the Verteron Legion, sealed away Vamana, a vanguard captain of the Drakan. According to folklore, the echoes of their battle can still be heard.

Hidden Vein Cave		A hidden cave rich in rare minerals. Crystalline monsters are swarming within.
High Priest's Ruins		The body of High Priest Hystan, whose soul and mind were stolen by Fafnite, roamed Altgard and slaughtered countless people. When Hystan's body arrived in Moslan Forest, the Nornir gathered the Daeva and sealed the High Priest's body. They left a stele in memory of his victims, containing the truth about High Priest Hystan, and make offerings there.
Homish's Prison Compound		Producing Fafnite always requires live human or Daeva. For this, Drakan Homish built the prison compound for imprisoning both human and Daeva.
Howling Den		The Mutated Varg Test Subjects were once human, but no longer remembers who they were. Guarding the treasure as commanded is all they know.
Iagosh's Secret Storage		A site that once housed records of research conducted by a Balaur named Iagosh and some humans. Today, all of those records have been destroyed or relocated, and the facility now serves as a temporary storage for all tribute collected from the Shugo.
Illusionary Ruins		A cave where pilgrims worshipping the Illusion God practiced meditation. The High Priestess of Illusion summoned Spirits to guard this place for the pilgrims, but after strange things began happening in the garden following her disappearance, pilgrims gradually stopped coming. Now, only the Spirits remain, guarding an empty cave.

Iralcig Naga Cave		A cave occupied by Naga who reluctantly follow Sigebert's command in the absence of their leader, Dragon Lord Fafnir. They share frosty relations with the Fate Archons, and consider the Krall to be beneath them.
Ishtar Logistics Base		A supply base that once stored and distributed combat provisions for the Ishtar Brigade during the Balaur's ancient war. It was particularly notorious for its mobile bombs, which inflicted massive Daeva casualties. Even now, long after the Balaur have occupied Eltnen, several of these mobile bombs remain deep within the base. Due to the passage of time, no one dares to salvage them out of fear that they may detonate unpredictably. Only the Balaur send occasional patrols to inspect the bombs and monitor the state of the base.
Karat's Nest		After the destruction of the Abyss Gate of Verteron Fortress, some of the Klaw that lived in the Abyss have settled in the Verteron Fortress Ruins. The Klaw queen, Karat, spawns from her nest and seeks to expand their territory.
Kidnapper's Hold		Ishtar developed a technology capable of extracting the life force of Daeva and converting it into alternative energy called Surana. Research and development of Surana required the sacrifice of countless Daeva and other lifeforms used as experimental subjects. To facilitate this research, numerous groups of Balaur dedicated themselves to systematically hunting Daeva and other lifeforms, imprisoning them in nearby bases and supplying them to Nahid Brigade Fortress whenever needed.
Kius' Residence		A base belonging to the notorious criminal Kius and his followers. The bounty on his head from the Notos Legion has grown higher and higher, but no one has dared attempt to capture him.
Klaw Den		A cave where a group of Klaw live. It is said that there is a special herb that grows in the Klaw habitat.
Konutin's Cave		A cave used by Aullaeu Shamans for their ritual studies, guarded by Konutins stationed in the area.

Krall Barracks		Krall are assigned by the Balaur to handle the disposal of the large amounts of waste produced by experiments conducted in Nahid Brigade Fortress, and of the byproducts produced by the nearby Drana Plantation. The number of Krall specialized in these tasks is substantial enough to require an entire barracks.
Kumbahum's Cave		A cave used by those seeking the Balaur power over honor of the Mau. Followers of Shaman Kumbahum are growing in strength here.
Kurpak Special Operations Unit Base		The main base of a Taytra Brigade Kurpak unit under Sigebert's command. The unit is made up of swift and decisive soldiers that can be deployed anywhere in Iralcig Highland and Muspel Volcano Zone.
Laborers Training Ground		A labor training facility where Sapiens under Balaur command are trained to be laborers. Kobolds, Dracuni, and Balaur live together in this space. Caretaker Sinandash is assigned as the captain of the training facility.

Lamnah Base		A cave claimed as a base by a Draconute warband led by Lamnah, the ruthless Scouts Captain of the Lagta Brigade.
Land of Raging Flame		A cave created to shield the Fire Temple from the humid ocean air. For eons, the Spirit guarding it remained faithful to an ancient promise made with Kromede—only to be consumed by wrath after rumors that she abandoned the temple and fled.
Lepharist Special Operations Research Center		A research facility packed with the Lepharists' most fanatical and aggressive special operations units. Driven by an obsession with strength, these radicals willingly become test subjects for their own experiments, fostering an atmosphere of ruthless competition in the name of enhancing combat performance.
Library of Foresight		A library created in Moslan Forest by Musein, a librarian who sought to preserve the knowledge of the Asmodians by creating a secret library. Whispers tell of ancient tomes on the Bulwark kept within this library's depths.
Library of Patience		A secret library built in Basfelt by Musein, a librarian who sought to preserve the knowledge of the Asmodians. Whispers tell of ancient tomes containing information on the Bulwark.
Library of Wisdom		A secret library built by the librarian Musein to preserve the knowledge of the Asmodians, under the sworn protection of the Kerubar. Whispers tell of ancient tomes containing information on the Bulwark.
Life Awakening Site		Once an annex attached to the Eltnen Barrier Tower, this area served as a final refuge for the Life Daeva when the tower collapsed. In the end, the Balaur stormed the halls, slaughtering nearly all the Daeva hidden within. Yet, even in the shadow of death, life still blooms. It was here that Kion, the very last of the Life Daeva, was able to ascend.
Life Daeva Library		A recently excavated cave archive that was hidden from the world for a long time. Likely built to store records detailing the construction of the Eiron Hill ruins nearby, its interior is now too deteriorated to yield any useful data. Today, all that remains is the wandering spirits of the Life Daeva who once managed the archive.
