Dark Rifts

Last Edited on : Sep 18, 2026, 16:21 (UTC)

 

Dark Rift bosses will start appearing 24 hours after achieving the requirement of reaching Level 56.
The following bosses will appear from Dark Rifts: Red Nose, Dastard Bheg, Muskan, Dim Tree Spirit, Ferrid, and Ahib Griffon.
Defeat these bosses to obtain rare items such as Cron Stones, Deboreka Accessories and Mythical Feathers.
 
  • If you are Level 60 or above and equipped with Tuvala gear at level PEN (V), you will be able to defeat Dark Rift bosses without difficulty.
  • Dark Rifts are individual to each Adventurer, and thus you have to defeat these bosses alone. You cannot team up with other Adventurers to face them, as the bosses will not appear to them.
  • Dark Rift bosses will reappear 120 hours (5 days) after being defeated.
    • It is recommended to defeat the Dark Rift bosses as quickly as possible after they appeared.
  • Death penalties such as EXP loss and crystal destruction do not apply.

Details

Once a dark rift opens, it will be displayed on the World Map. You can click the icon for more information. Alternatively you can press the boss information icon at the bottom right of your UI.
 
 
 

 

The Boss Info UI combines the Dark Rift and Boss Notification functions into one. You can check the following information in the Boss Info UI:

  • World, Field, Dark Rift, and Hunting Boss Information
  • Remaining Time until Boss Spawn.
    • Appearance time is only displayed up to minutes.
  • Remaining HP after a Boss appears.
  • Navigation to the selected Boss's location.
    * The remaining time is not displayed for Field Bosses and Hunting Bosses. Instead, the UI will show the server they spawned on.
    * The remaining time until appearance is not displayed for bosses with random appearance times.
  • A spawned boss is displayed with a red icon on the top of the Boss Info UI.
  • Bosses are sorted in the order of their release date.
 

 

The boss will appear from the Dark Rift as soon as you get close to it's location, and a notification message will appear at the top of your UI.
