Draupnir is a Balaur stronghold that fell into the Abyss, and an Expedition where both versions open at the level cap with the same Item Level: the difference between Exploration and Conquest lies in the cube counter, the reward you pick and the final boss's enrage timer, not in the entry gate. The panels above answer whether you can enter and what you get. Below: the way through the stronghold, each boss with the casts that matter, and what to do with the cubes they leave. For how this dungeon fits among the others, see the dungeon overview, the endgame PvE ladder and the item-level route.

What Phazkhi tells you on the way
- “Deal with all the Klaw Janitors, kru.”
- “There are sentries up ahead, kru. Go up the hill to the left.”
- “Good job, kru! Glide in without getting caught.”
- “There is a Kibelisk here! Bind with it, kru!”
- “Well done! Now, go inside, kru.”
- “Operate the Abyss Entrance Control Device that Abatur is guarding, kru!”
- “It's better to deal with Abatur first, kru.”
- “The entrance is open! Jump down, kru! Trust me, it's safe!”
- “Glide and land safely on the ground, kru!”
- “That red water looks dangerous, kru! Be careful not to fall into it!”
- “Those eggs are mighty suspicious! Be careful not to touch them, kru!”
- “Saraswati is inside, kru! Defeat them!”
- “I know a shortcut, kru! Go to the red grass!”
- “Bind with the Kibelisk and ride the Updraft, kru!”
- “Lakshmi is inside, kru! Glide in without getting caught.”
- “Good job! Use the Faint Rift Kibelisk to get out, kru!”
- “Good job! Use the Updraft to get out, kru!”
- “There's a Windstream Activation Device ahead. Operate it quickly, kru!”
- “Well done! Use the Windstream, kru!”
- “Well done! Go take down Akvar, kru!”

- “You're a truly fearless Daeva. Bind with the Kibelisk before going farther, kru!”
The game's own captions, in the order of the client's records: close to the path, not a verified route.
- At the start, Phazkhi asks you to clear the Klaw Janitor guards, then to slip past the sentries by going up the hill on the left, and to glide in unseen. Pulls you skip are time you keep for the bosses.
Manager Abatur guards the Abyss Entrance Control Device. Phazkhi advises defeating him before you operate it: do that, then jump into the opened entrance and glide down.
- Inside, stay out of the red water and leave the eggs alone: the guide warns about both, and what they do is not in the client data, so there is nothing to gain by testing it.
- Bind every Kibelisk you pass (each bind takes 5 s), above all the bind
point the guide shows you after
Phantasmal Lakshmi
Names in other regions: Korean
KR몽환의 라크슈미
Also in the fight: Lakshmi's Handmaiden.
What Phantasmal Lakshmi says (cues you can hear)
- On pull“You mites will not defy me!”
- On death“To be defeated by such lowly creatures...”
- At most every 40 s the boss raises Damage Reflection for 8 s. Phazkhi warns that the shield sends damage back: hold your burst until it fades, and keep hitting with steady skills only if your healer can carry it.
- It calls Lakshmi's Handmaiden at most every 120 s. Switch to the Handmaiden at once: the guide says she heals the boss. Assign her before the pull, usually to a ranged damage dealer, so nobody hesitates.
- Its ground casts are well marked: a volley of 5 small circles (the largest 3 m) that stun for 2 s, and a circle of 10 m that lifts you into the air with Phantasmal Domination, helpless for 7 s. Step out as soon as the ground marker shows; healers watch whoever is caught.

Predator Saraswati
Names in other regions: Korean
KR포식자 사라스와티
- The boss's biggest cast hits several times in a cone of 140° out to 12 m, and anyone hit is turned into a swarm by Abyss Affiliate for 3 s: no skills, gliding or flight until it ends. Only the tank should stand in front of it.
- At most every 15 s it marks a circle of 5 m on its current target, usually the tank, shown for only 1 s, that knocks down everyone inside for 2 s: don't stand on the tank.
- No enrage timer, no named casts and no hint from the guide in the client data: a fight about positioning more than about timers.

AdviceThe cone's ground marker shows for 2 s before the first hit: that is the moment to move behind the boss. The client does not say which way the cone points; cones usually face the boss's front.
1 cast with no effect in the client data is left out.
Transcendent Bakarma
Names in other regions: Korean
KR초월한 바카르마
What Transcendent Bakarma says (cues you can hear)
- On pull“My new universe has no need for Daeva.”
- On death“I am... a transcendent being...”
- When Frenzy starts“Your end is nigh.”
- In Conquest the enrage timer runs out at 05:00. After it Frenzy gives the boss +200% damage and +100% combat speed: treat the timer as the damage check of the run. Exploration has no enrage timer.
- Wave of Death is the fight. It is a 18 s cast over a circle of 65 m, with extra damage scaled on max HP: a hit can kill you outright. The guide's lines on it are the counter: spend your Stagger skills on Bakarma during the cast, and jump over the waves while you move.
- Between those casts, the boss's front is the danger zone: Swipe, Trample and the unnamed cones all reach 40 m. Everyone but the tank fights from behind or from the side.
- A circle of 20 m on the boss's current target, usually the tank, marked for 2.5 s, stuns for 5 s: melee step out of it while the marker shows; everyone else keeps that distance from the tank.

- Area: cone of 30°, radius 40 m
AdviceThe wide cone of 130° is only the warning. The damage comes from the narrow slices of 30° that sweep across his front: the first stuns for 3.5 s, the others knock down for 3.5 s. Behind the boss you usually skip it entirely.

Around the casterExtra damage scaled on max HPTranscendent Bakarma“Wretched worm, begone.”
Phazkhi“Be careful! Jump over the waves while maneuvering, kru!”
Phazkhi“Use Stagger skills on Bakarma, kru!”
AdviceThe 18 s cast leaves the whole party time to break the boss's stagger points: hold your stagger skills for it instead of spending them on cooldown. A staggered boss stays down for 5 s, which is your damage window. Whether a stagger always stops the cast is not in the client data, and neither is where the waves run: watch the ground marker, which shows for 5 s, and jump the waves as Phazkhi says.
