Activate both devices, jump Bakarma's waves, and break his stagger bar to clear Draupnir. The AION 2 Draupnir route starts with an entrance control device, then gives you a choice between two minibosses and a direct path to the windstream. For the guaranteed gear reward, select Draupnir under Expedition → Exploration and loot three times.
How do you get through AION 2 Draupnir Conquest?
Have one player activate the entrance control device while the others keep nearby enemies off them, then jump down once it activates. The successful activation is your cue to descend; don't leave the interacting player to handle the mobs alone.
At the bottom, choose your route. Both lead toward the windstream control before the final boss.
Go straight to the windstream
Head straight ahead and activate the windstream if you want the direct route to Bakarma. Follow the active windstream to reach the final boss; arriving there confirms you've completed the traversal step.
Fight the two minibosses first
Take this route if you want to fight the minibosses before Bakarma. Handle the predator's ground attack first, then the second miniboss's reflect buff and summoned maiden. Once those fights are over, activate the windstream control and follow it to the final boss.
How do you beat the AION 2 Draupnir bosses?
Move the predator out of its ground AoE, stop attacking during the second miniboss's reflect buff, and jump Bakarma's waves before breaking his stagger bar. These fights punish different habits, so change your approach at each stop.
Predator: move after the landing
When the predator jumps and lands, it leaves a ground AoE underneath itself. Move it out of that area and check that the fight has shifted away from the patch it left behind. Avoid its frontal attack too: getting hit transforms you into a slug. Standing in front for another hit is a poor trade here.
Reflect miniboss: wait, then focus the maiden
The message “Agony always comes back around” signals an eight-second damage-reflection buff. Stop hitting the boss and wait until the buff disappears before resuming damage. The warning might look like flavor text at first, but it tells you when your own attacks will hurt you.
At 50% HP, “Offer up your life” signals the summoned maiden. Switch targets and kill the maiden first. Once she's dead, return to the boss and finish the fight.
Bakarma: jump forward and save your stagger skills
Keep Bakarma facing away from the DPS and healer. His early attacks have fewer clear tells, so positioning is the safer starting point. Tank and healer can use group defensive cooldowns when needed. If you're filling either role, check your aion 2 templar build or aion 2 cleric build before the run.
| Phase | What you do | How you check success |
|---|---|---|
| Around 75% HP | Keep moving toward Bakarma and jump over the waves. On reaching him, use your strongest stagger abilities within 8.5 seconds. | His stagger bar breaks, and he emerges to resume the fight. |
| After the first break | Avoid the telegraphed attacks and continue damage. | You progress toward the second wave phase. |
| Around 25% HP | Jump the waves again while avoiding tornadoes, then break the stagger bar. | The fight resumes after the break. |
| After the second break | Watch for water beams while finishing the boss. | Bakarma is defeated. |
The second wave phase adds tornadoes. Don't tunnel on jumping the waves and miss the extra hazards. One player died here, was resurrected, and immediately used their strongest stagger skills to help the party complete the break. If you're brought back during that window, get straight back to the stagger mechanic.
How do you get the Draupnir Exploration pity box?
Loot Draupnir three times in Expedition → Exploration to obtain the pity box, then select a useful yellow item-level-54 piece.
- Open Expedition → Exploration → Draupnir. Check that Exploration is selected, as shown above.
- Loot rewards three times. The requirement is three loots, so counting clears alone misses the actual condition.
- Choose a piece that improves your gear. The Select Guaranteed Reward window lists the armor choices; check the item comparison before selecting.
If you're searching for Drobnear Caverns or the Dropnear pity box, follow this same Draupnir reward step. Extra yellow drops can also help, but the selectable reward gives you a piece to work on without depending on those drops.
How does AION 2 Draupnir gear help you continue the main quest?
Enhance a useful yellow item-level-54 Draupnir piece to +5, add lesser or intermediate mana stones, and combine it with your other upgrades to work toward approximately 1,000 gear score.
Enhance your chosen piece to +5 and check its item name for the enhancement level. Equip the upgrade and look at your gear score before deciding to loot again. Follow the wider aion 2 guide to 1400 when you need to choose between another dungeon reward and your other progression systems.
Socket lesser or intermediate mana stones until you have at least two green rolls. Check the slot results for green text, as shown above. At this stage, prioritize gear score rather than chasing specific combat-power rolls or using superior mana stones.
The larger gear-score number and the blue combat-power number are different readouts. Check gear score after equipping the piece, rather than judging this step by combat power alone. Repeated looting consumes Odyle energy, so work on the reward you've already obtained before spending more on another run.
You finish with a selectable yellow piece and a clear upgrade plan. Once your combined upgrades bring you to approximately 1,000 gear score, continue the yellow main-story quest into the aion 2 abyss.
