Vakron Sky Island is an Expedition across floating islands held by a lord of the Spirit Realm. Both versions open at the level cap with the same Item Level, and the client recommends a party of at least 2 players. Much of the route is flown rather than walked. The panels above answer whether you can enter and what you get. Below: the way across the islands, 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
- “Go inside, kru.”
- “Go down the cliff. Watch out for the Corrupted Fairies while gliding.”
- “Examine the nearby Kibelisks as well. It's good to bind with all the Kibelisks you come across, kru!”
- “Avoid the poison flowers. Their scent is alluring, but dangerous.”
- “There is a Spirit Predator just ahead! Bind with the Kibelisk first, kru!”
- “Go defeat Tiere now, kru! Up the hill to the right!”
- “Tiere is at the island below the hill. Glide down, kru!”
- “Amazing. Go explore the island now, kru!”
- “Glide down and destroy the Stone Wall blocking the path, kru.”
- “You can go by using the Windstream.”
- “You're in the Boulder Islands from here on out. Travel between them by flying.”
- “There is a Kibelisk that I recommend binding with, kru.”
- “Glide to the next island. Be careful of the Corrupted Fairies!”
- “Use the Updraft to get up, kru.”
- “The Spirits are defending the Barrier. Defeat them, kru!”
- “Go to the next island. There's a shortcut at the hilltop.”
- “Almost there. Don't forget to bind with the Kibelisk, kru!”
- “Use the Updraft. You need to ride the Windstream as soon as you reach the top.”
- “Now, kru! Glide to the Windstream!”
- “There's another Windstream at the end of this Windstream, kru! Ride it if you want to take the shortcut!”
- “The Island Warden is on the hilltop! Defeat him, kru!”
- “Go meet Vakron now, kru. I recommend binding with the Kibelisk beforehand.”
- “Now you can disable Vakron's barrier, kru!”
- “In this area, you'll have to activate the altar by absorbing Odyle while flying, kru.”
- “You may only activate the altar for a short duration after absorbing Odyle, so be careful, kru.”
- “You could die if you fall, so maintain your Flight Power by absorbing feathers, kru!”
- “This is the last Kibelisk. Bind with it, kru!”
- “This is an Odyle Energy Cube!”

Advice
- Glide with care: Phazkhi warns about the Corrupted Fairy on the way down the cliff and between the islands, and about the poison flowers on the ground. Their scent is alluring, in the guide's words, but dangerous.
- The guide recommends binding every Kibelisk you come across (each bind takes 5 s).
- Windstreams are your shortcuts: the guide points out a second Windstream at the end of the first, and a shortcut on a hilltop between islands.
- Before the final boss you must take down Vakron's Barrier: you absorb Odyle while flying, then activate the altar within a short window. Keep your flight power up by absorbing the feathers: the guide warns that a fall can kill you.
Thamon

KR타몬
What Thamon says (cues you can hear)
- On pull“Here I come!”
- On death“I... failed...”
AdviceHow to beat Thamon
- At most every 60 s he takes on Cry of Life for 10 s; Mysterious Roar works the same way with its own timer. Phazkhi explains both: when his body glows red, physical attacks only heal him; when it glows purple, magic attacks do.
- His widest cast covers 30 m around him, with extra damage scaled on max HP, and its ground marker shows for 2 s. Healers, treat it as your cue for a party heal.
- His small circles petrify: 4 circles of 3 m that lock you in Petrification of Death for 6 s. Step out of every marked circle; a petrified player cannot dodge, so the tank keeps Thamon turned away from them.

AdviceRed glow: physical damage dealers stop for 10 s and use the time to reposition or refresh buffs, while magic damage dealers keep going. Purple glow: the other way round. Call the colour in voice chat; a few seconds of the wrong damage undo a lot of the party's work.

Tiere

KR티에
Also in the fight: Detoxifying Rafflesia, Gluttonous Tiere.
AdviceHow to beat Tiere
Tiere calls Detoxifying Rafflesia, and the boss's own shout warns you off the flowers. Phazkhi's line is the counter: defeating the summoned flower clears the poison clouds.
- Isolation Zone lands on every player within 90 m for 180 s. Each second it hurts anyone standing close to a player who carries it: spread out and stay a few steps apart until it ends (a reading of the client data, not checked in game).
- Its stuns leave no safe side up close: its semicircles of 9 m cover every side of it, and its lanes 20 m long and 5 m wide are marked 1 s ahead, each stunning for 3 s. Step out of the lanes when they show; only the tank stays within 9 m for long.

What Vakron says (cues you can hear)
- When Frenzy starts“All who dirty the earth walking upon two feet shall suffer retribution!”
AdviceHow to beat Vakron
- 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.
- Surging Thorn: the alert banner shows 7.7 s ahead, and the blast covers 60 m, so you cannot outrun it, and a hit stuns for 2.5 s. Phazkhi gives the answer: jump to dodge it.
- At most every 45 s he marks a single player with Metastasis Explosion. After 4 s it explodes around that player, roots everyone caught in thorns and passes the explosion on to them. The marked player runs clear of the party at once; nobody goes near them until it has gone off. Then the others free the trapped player by destroying the thorns.
- His ring attack leaves a safe band. It strikes a circle of 8 m and a ring from 15 m to 23 m around the same spot: stand in the gap between them. The small circle in the middle also holds you for 1 s and traps you in a thorn, so the player it is aimed at steps out first.
- Its semicircles cover every side within 12 m: there is no safe flank.

Do what Phazkhi says: destroy the rocks and get out before the cast ends; everyone else stays clear of the trapped player. The data block lists it under Exploration only; whether he casts it in Conquest is not in the client data, so plan for it.

Loot: the cube is the reward
The bosses themselves drop almost nothing. What you came for is in the cube each of them leaves, and opening a cube costs a resource that every character refills over time.
How the cube worksGame client
- Defeat a bossEach of the 3 bosses leaves its own Odyle Energy Cube.
- Open it with Odyle Energy
40Exploration
- Fill Condensed Cube EnergyEvery claim counts. When it is full you pick one Guaranteed Reward:Explorationafter 3 claimsConquestafter 21 claims
- 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.
