Deus Research Base is a Transcendence dungeon: a level 45 party dungeon split into stages, and with Shattered Arkanis the place where Arcana cards drop. What the cards do and how to grow them is in the Arcana guide; how this dungeon fits among the others is in the dungeon overview.
Each stage is its own entry in the dungeon window and opens only after an S-rank clear of the stage before (the server sets the rank thresholds). The bosses stay the same; their level rises from 56 to 68, and the Arcana in the cubes with it.
Route
- Updrafts and sky islands: a fall costs you the climb, so take the jumps in turn.
- Bind every Kibelisk you pass, binding takes 5 s. The last Kibelisk before the final boss is what saves a wipe.
- The guide NPC's captions lead you to
Gelcos first, then to
Nazmun. Laser corridors and floor traps come between them: jump over low lasers, and look for a lever that switches them off before you run through.
- The whole run has 30 min. The client's score table counts kills only: the scoring packs, and the mini-bosses for more. Where S starts is set by the server, so when you need the S that opens the next stage, clear the packs instead of skipping them.

KR겔코스
- His big cast comes at most every 65 s, with his line before it: small stunning circles, then a circle of 10 m, then a ring out to 25 m.
- His knockdowns (2.5 s on the circle, 1.5 s on the lane strikes) are what kill a careless healer: keep a crowd-control break ready.

AdviceGrowing cones that cover all but a 80° wedge, reaching 17 m. The client does not say which way they point; cones usually face the boss's front, so keep the party at his back and only the tank in front.

- He fights with gadgets: lines, small circles and a drone. Nothing he casts has an alert banner, so the ground markers are your only warning.
- Drone Strike marks a single player with High Voltage Electric Current Zone for 3 s. While it lasts, a ring around that player hits every second, and the last hit stuns. The marked player is safe in the middle of the ring: they stay put, and everyone else keeps well away from them.
- Between his attacks he sets laser traps around the room. Keep jumping over them while you dodge the rest.

Longer lines follow at an angle on either side, and the unseen helpers the cast leaves fire a wider fan of even longer lines toward his target: a side step is not enough.

What Atiel says (cues you can hear)
- When Frenzy starts“No more games!”
- On pull“Face the devastation that lies ahead!”
- On death“This too... is part of the experiment...”
- The enrage timer runs out at 05:00 on every stage. After it Frenzy gives him +200% damage and +100% combat speed: that timer is the run's damage check.

Atiel“All will collapse and perish!”
AdviceA 10 s cast under an alert banner. The guide NPC's hint says to stagger him before he jumps: early in the cast he becomes untargetable, then hits everyone around him, so use your stagger skills as soon as the banner shows. A staggered boss stays down for 5 s; whether a stagger always cancels the cast is not in the client data.
