AION 2 Draupnir Guide: Modes, Bosses and Entry Requirements

Draupnir is a five-player dungeon with Exploration, Conquest and Transcendence modes. Its listed four-boss roster is Transcendent Bakarma, Afflicted Bakarma, Phantasmal Lakshmi and Predator Saraswati. The lower modes begin at a much earlier Item Level than Transcendence, so treat them as the route-learning and progression foundation.

Mode Overview

Mode	Level	Minimum Item Level	Party size
Exploration	45+	700	5
Conquest	45+	700	5
Transcendence	Check client	2,400	5

The captured data shows a Wednesday reset and a weekly reward limit on Conquest and Transcendence. Confirm the current values before using a claim.

Boss Roster

Transcendent Bakarma, Afflicted Bakarma, Phantasmal Lakshmi and Predator Saraswati make Draupnir a four-boss run. Complete attack timelines are not part of the structured data. Use Exploration to learn the route, identify dangerous trash and observe how each boss signals movement, interruption or defensive checks.

Progression Plan

Exploration and Conquest share the listed 700 Item Level entry point, but Conquest should follow a controlled learning clear. Transcendence jumps to 2,400, so it belongs to a later gear and coordination step. Do not use the lower requirement as proof that the higher mode will be comfortable.

1. Learn the four-boss order in Exploration.
2. Stabilize pulls and resource use before Conquest.
3. Plan weekly reward runs only after the party can finish reliably.
4. Reassess gear, accuracy and survival for the Transcendence jump.
5. Read all active mode effects in the current client.

Character Checks

At the lower entry point, avoid over-enhancing temporary gear just to exceed the requirement. At the Transcendence step, use the gear progression guide to target efficient upgrades. Review the stats guide if the party enters successfully but cannot land attacks, survive or sustain the full four-boss route.

Before Queueing

• Confirm every member selected the same mode.
• Assign roles, interrupts, cleansing and revival.
• Carry enough recovery items for four encounters.
• Check the Wednesday reset and remaining reward claims.
• Read the Transcendence guide before the 2,400 step.

Draupnir rewards continuity: learn the full route at the lower tier, make Conquest repeatable, then rebuild the plan for the larger Transcendence requirement.
