Vakron Sky Island is the second tier 2 Conquest dungeon, at 1,400 item level like Urugugu Canyon. It is a chain of floating islands joined by windstreams and updrafts, with a flying puzzle before the last fight. Its two named bosses are harder than usual for mid-bosses, and both punish a habit, standing close together against Tiere and attacking at the wrong moment against Thamon.
Route
A debuff builds up slowly while you travel the islands, and at 3 stacks it binds you in place. Standing near a Fog Spiritstone clears it. It does not stack during boss fights, so unless someone goes idle it never becomes a problem.
- Run straight ahead and take the hill on the right to the first boss, Tiere.
- Fly down after it, break the stone wall and ride the windstream behind it.
- A barrier blocks the way. Kill the Odyle Stone Spirit in front of it to remove it.
- Glide across to the next island. Jump from the very edge of the land, or take the updraft on the right if the jump is hard.
- Ride the updraft at the end into the windstream, then take the hill on the right to the second boss, Thamon.
- Past the next barrier, the island opens into a free-flight section. Pick up the four elements floating around (fire, water, wind and earth) and place them on the altar by the door. The door to Vakron opens.

Tiere and Thamon
Tiere puts a poison on every player when the fight starts, and it hurts anyone standing close to another player. Keep your distance for the whole fight. When she shouts and leaps, flowers open around her. Pop them and gather close, because she then fires poison at every player’s position four times. Each shot leaves a lasting pool that slows you, so keep moving in one direction and drop the pools close together, leaving the rest of the room clean.
Thamon raises rocks from the ground that petrify anyone they hit, so free a petrified ally quickly. During the fight his body turns red or purple. Red means he absorbs physical damage, purple means he absorbs magic damage, and attacking him with the wrong one heals him. It goes by class, not by skill. When he is red, the physical classes stop, and when he is purple, the magic ones do.
Vakron
Vakron goes berserk after 5 minutes of combat, and at that point it uses an attack nobody can avoid. The fight has to end before then.
- Bind: Vakron picks one player, and that player’s health bar turns green just before it hits the area around them and binds them. Stand clear of the target, and as soon as they are bound, everyone else runs over and hits them to set them free.
- Rock Prison: its Stagger Gauge locks and it pulls the whole party in, then raises a ring of rocks around everyone. Find the red rock, break it together and get out. While the gauge is locked, hold your stigma skills.
- Surging Thorn: the floor turns red and Vakron sends out three rings, one per slam. Jump each one as with a skipping rope, moving sideways. Right after the third ring comes a final hit across the room that burns and stuns. Jump again straight after the third ring, or open your wings and glide.
