In the gameGame clientA canyon occupied by the Urugugu Tribe of Aullaeu who worship Ishtar, the Crimson Dragon Lord. The Urugugu village and altar are hidden inside the canyon. Urugugu Canyon is guarded by Auldor, a sacred bird summoned by Urugugu Shamans using Ishtar's power.

Urugugu Canyon is the Expedition that comes after Krao Cave on the way up, and a Conquest run at the level cap with its own set of accessories. It is also a dungeon nobody enters alone: it takes a party. The panels above answer whether you can enter and what you get. Below: the way through the canyon, each boss with the casts that matter, and what to do with the cubes they leave. The Krao Cave guide covers the dungeon before it, the dungeon overview and the endgame PvE ladder show where it fits.

  13. “You're a truly fearless Daeva. Bind with the Kibelisk and come back, kru!”

  15. “Now! Use your special skill to increase Stagger, kru!”

The game's own captions, in the order of the client's records: close to the path, not a verified route.

Advice
  • Phazkhi recommends the central or the right path at the start. The canyon is about moving with the wind, not about fighting your way through.
  • Defeat the Wind Mage when you meet it: it opens a Windstream you need to go on. If you fall, ride the nearest Updraft back up instead of walking around.
  • Updrafts also shake off the Aullaeu that chase you, in the guide's own words: use them rather than fighting every pack.
  • In the temple, break the Urugugu Shaman's totems first: they heal or strengthen the Aullaeu around them.
  • Bind each Kibelisk you pass (it takes 5 s), so a wipe on the final boss does not cost you the walk.

  • The fight is a stop-and-go: when he casts Counterstrike Stance, everyone stops attacking, then you go back in. See the stance below.
  • At most every 10 s he smashes the ground around himself, out to 25 m, farther than anyone can attack or heal from: the whole party takes it. Keep a crowd-control break ready for the knockdown.

    Advice

    In Exploration, Phazkhi's line says it all: stop attacking. In Conquest only his own taunt warns you. He casts the stance for 3 s, which is your warning, and it then lasts 3.8 s. Whether damage over time and summons also trigger it is not checked in game: stop them too if you can.

AdviceHow to beat Judge Urahum
  • Most of his attacks add Contamination, and when it ends it can leave a small damaging zone under you: the fewer hits you take, the fewer zones. Step out of them, and leave them away from the group.
  • Only the tank stands in front of him: his close attacks are wide arcs in front. Rapid Rake sweeps arcs of 225° turned to either side, so stay behind him.

    Advice

    3 circles around him, with radii of 6 m, 12 m and 17 m. Each hits everyone inside it, so whoever stands near him takes every hit. Melee and the tank get out past 17 m during the cast and the ground marker, then come back.

Also in the fight: Divine Auldor (Specimen).

What Divine Auldor says (cues you can hear)
  1. On pull“How dare you defile the sanctuary of the Urugugu Tribe!”
  2. On death“The Red Dragon... will lift me up once more.”
  3. When Frenzy starts“You will pay for invading the sanctuary.”
AdviceHow to beat Divine Auldor
  • 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.
  • Tempest Strike is the mechanic of the fight: the whole party takes it together, as Phazkhi says in Exploration. See the row below.
  • He moves a lot: he leaps onto players from up to 50 m away. Ranged players and healers stay spread around him, so a leap lands on a single player, but not too far out: see Enveloping Gust below.

    Phazkhi“Get close to the party member that Auldor is watching and take the hit together, kru!”
    Advice

    When the alert banner appears, everyone runs to the player Auldor is watching and stands within 5 m of them. The cast takes 9.57 s, so there is time to get there: do not stop for anything else. Its damage is scaled on max HP. In Exploration Phazkhi tells you to share it; in Conquest nobody warns you. Either way, never let the watched player take it alone: the fewer players under it, the harder it hits each of them, and in Conquest a player alone under it is meant to die.

    Melee stand behind him: his swing covers 200° in front out to 7 m, sides included. The lane marked in front of him (50 m by 12 m, shown for 1.5 s) deals no damage itself in the client data: the second hit strikes his target alone.

Loot: the cube is the reward

As in every Expedition, the bosses themselves drop next to nothing. Each leaves a cube, and opening it costs a resource that refills over time.

How the cube worksGame client
  1. Defeat a boss
    Each of the 3 bosses leaves its own Odyle Energy Cube.
  2. Open it with Odyle Energy
    20Exploration40ConquestOne claim per cube.
  3. Fill Condensed Cube Energy
    Every claim counts. When it is full you pick one Guaranteed Reward:Explorationafter 1 claimConquestafter 21 claims
  4. Collect it before you go back
    Dungeons can be entered after collecting the guaranteed reward.
Odyle Energy holds up to 560 (840 with a membership) and refills 15 every 3 h.
Worked out from those numbers: a full bar opens 14 cubes in Conquest, and a day of refill (120) opens 3.
[Conquest/Transcendence] Remaining Unobtained Cube Count
  • Clearing and exiting the dungeon without obtaining Odyle Energy Cube rewards will still lower the count.
  • The count resets weekly. You cannot enter Conquest and Transcendence Dungeons when the count is 0.
  • Limit is applied on a per-server basis.
The client's entrance data takes 1 of this count per entry, so a cap of 10 gives 10 runs a week. Whether opening cubes uses more is not checked in game. The Guaranteed Reward needs 21 claims: at least 7 full runs with 3 cubes each.

Advice
  • Short on Odyle Energy? Open the final boss cube first: for Aulamus Ring it gives 1.72% a cube, against 0.86% from a mini-boss cube. For Wrathful Will the gap is wider: 3% against 1%. Skipping cubes saves energy, not runs: a Conquest clear counts against your 10 weekly entries even with cubes left unopened, and that count is shared by every Conquest and Transcendence dungeon, per server.
  • For your first Guaranteed Reward in Conquest, pick the accessory you are still missing: Aulamus Ring, Aulamus Earrings or Aulamus Necklace. Gear Change Voucher: Urugugu Canyon (Bound) can wait.
  • In Exploration the pick comes after 1 claim: take the armour piece you need most on the way to the Item Level 1,400 that Conquest asks for.

FAQ

What level and item level do I need for Urugugu Canyon?

Exploration opens at level 28 with Item Level 300. Conquest opens at level 45 with Item Level 1,400.

Can I run Urugugu Canyon solo?

No. In Exploration the client asks for at least 2 players, in Conquest for at least 2 players, and a party holds up to 5.

How do you survive Tempest Strike?

Everyone stacks on the player Divine Auldor is watching, as the game's guide, Phazkhi, tells you in Exploration. The cast takes 9.57 s and the hit covers a circle of 5 m radius, so the party has time to gather.

Does Divine Auldor enrage?

In Conquest, yes: after 05:00 the boss gains Frenzy. In Exploration the client sets no enrage timer.

What is the best loot in Urugugu Canyon?

In Conquest: Aulamus Ring, Aulamus Earrings, Aulamus Necklace and the weapons of the same grade. After 21 cube claims you also pick a Guaranteed Reward.

How long does a Urugugu Canyon run take?

The client only sets a time limit of 60 min. It holds no data on typical clear times.
