In AION 2, collecting Kaisinel’s Core is crucial for advancing past the formidable Bulwark on Atreia’s landscape. Playing as part of the Elyos faction, your journey will lead you to the High Priestess of Illusion to secure this core. Expect tough skirmishes and plenty of optional content before you can achieve your fourth Ascension.
The game’s rich world might catch you off guard with its depth, especially since resources can be easily wasted if you’re not careful. One piece of advice — keep an eye on your quests and their markers, as they can guide you through some tricky sections.
Before heading into the thick of it, make sure you’re well-equipped and consider gathering potions or buffs to keep your health up during intense battles.

Search For Reda requires you to get moving after your Ascension. Start by speaking with Dymones in Zumion Village, and head to Altamia Canyon to find Caelid. Defeat three Dark Spiritstones and nine Corrupted Spirits, focusing on the stones that connect to the spirits to ensure a smoother fight.
Once you’ve taken care of those enemies, chat with Odite at the Canyon Campsite. She’ll point you to some traces of the Illusion Priestess. Go to the marked spot, where you’ll need to destroy another Dark Spiritstone and examine ancient tablets, noting that most of them are damaged — look for a readable one towards the northwest.
After checking the tablets, move to the third marked location to find a broken Barrierstone. Interact with it, and Caelid will call you to inspect a nearby barrier. Talk to both Caelid and Phernos, then touch the barrier as instructed. Finally, return to Dymones in Zumion Village for your next steps.
Next, seek out Adrian in the village, who informs you about the relics stored in a sealed temple. To access it, you must persuade the statues to speak. Your next stop is to find Lachesis at the Alert Observation Post.
Getting The Warding Feather starts with a challenge. Defeat six Wandering Knight Souls and four Wandering Ranger Souls, then check with the three statues — they won’t be talkative yet. Luteros will reach out to you through Selvis, asking for you to meet him near a monolith at the Temple Site.
When you’ve gathered the heads, return to Luteros. He’ll send you to Phernos, who will then ask you to defeat eight Wandering Knights’ Armor and two Altama Highland Ruins Devices. After completing this, speak with Calliste and the Agathon Statue before heading back to Luteros for an answer on entering the temple.
Report back to Phernos at the Alert Observation Post, then go and chat with Nania at the marked area. Interacting with the circle near the gate will trigger a cutscene, opening the temple gate with the Mace of Blessings.
Once inside the Temple Storage, venture downwards. Expect to encounter wandering enemies here; it’s best to steer clear unless they ambush you. When you reach the depths, read the fallen tablet and then proceed to open the gate.
Meslamtaeda’s Poison quest starts with Phernos sending you to Gustino at the Contaminated Sanctum. You’ll need to defeat five Guardite enemies and four Mutated Vine Bundles. Afterward, Luteros will contact you, asking to ignite three braziers in the area.
After igniting the braziers, return to Gustino at the Hill of Purification. He’ll ask you to tackle six Contaminated Scorpions and three Yellow-Tailed Skama near the braziers. This phase requires some persistence as you will continue to clear enemies surrounding the purification devices until the gauge is full.
Next, destroy three contamination clots – they look like tricky green fungi in the water, blending in with the environment. Use the quest markers to help guide you in locating them. Once completed, Gustino will lead you through the Purifying Altar Door. Inside, grab the sealed poison and chat with Phernos nearby.
Luteros asks you to inspect each of the three monoliths around the temple site. Return to Luteros after examining the monoliths. You’ll then have to gather the materials to repair the statues. Defeat eight Ashen Kalgolems and two Furious Knight’s Corpse enemies in the marked area.
After that, you’ll have to retrieve three statue heads. There are plenty of head fragments in the area, but you only have to pick three. Return to Luteros after you’re done. He’ll ask you to find Phernos while he repairs the statues.
Phernos will ask you to go and defeat eight Wandering Knights’ Armor and two Altama Highland Ruins Devices. After you’re done, you’ll receive a call from Luteros on the Selvis. He’ll ask you to talk to Calliste and the Agathon Statue. Do that and head to Luteros near the Estian Statue. Talk to the last statue, and you’ll figure out a way to enter the temple.
Report your findings to Phernos at the Alert Observation Post. You’ll have to head to the marked area and talk to Nania there. Interact with the circle near the gate, and this will initiate a cutscene where Nania opens the temple gate using the Mace of Blessings.
Enter the Temple Storage and make your way to the depths. You’ll find wandering enemies here. It’s best to avoid them since they have a ton of HP, unless you get caught by them. Once you reach the depths, read the fallen tablet and then open the gate.
As you touch the Warding Feather, you’ll enter the boss battle against the Incarnated Warding Feather. The boss summons golden rings on the ground that you can jump over. It may also disappear, only to jump on top of you with an attack, so watch out for the attack highlights on the ground. The boss also summons stones during the battle. If it happens, you should always focus on the stones first. After defeating the boss, you’ll obtain the Warding Feather. Deliver it to Phernos at the Alert Observation Post.
Now, it’s time to journey to Caelid at the Canyon Campsite, followed by heading toward the Illusion Barrier leading to Reda, the Illusion Priestess.
Meeting With The High Priestess Of Illusion requires you to approach Reda. After a brief chat, she will ask Phernos to retrieve the Bracelet of Illusion, previously taken by Balaur forces. Return to Dymones at Zumion Village who’ll point you toward investigating the Fire Temple.
At the Fire Temple, engage with Phion outside. This area is considered a dungeon, so ensure you’re at least level 35 with an item level of 500 or higher. Consider forming a party if you’re going in for your run.
After engaging with the coolant, head upstairs on your right where you’ll find Murute. You can choose to fight either Ignus or Murute for the quest. Once you’ve taken down Murute, head to the cliff’s edge and glide down to the main door of the temple.
Inside, face the final boss, Kromede’s Desire. This agile foe prefers to keep moving, so it’s a challenge for melee characters. Be careful of its powerful blasts; standing too close can quickly lead to your demise. Stay alert, dodge its attacks, and you should emerge victorious.
Next, you’ll have to destroy three contamination clots in the area. These look like green fungi in the water and may be difficult to spot, so you’ll have to rely on the quest mark on top of them to find them easily. After you’re done, return to Gustino, and he’ll finally let you in through the Purifying Altar Door. Enter the altar, take the sealed poison, and talk to Phernos nearby.
You’ll then have to leave the Altar and head to Caelid at the Canyon Campsite. After that, you’ll have to go to the Illusion Barrier on the path leading to Reda, the Illusion Priestess.
Meeting With The High Priestess Of Illusion
Go to Reda and talk to her. After the conversation, she’ll ask Phernos to find the Bracelet of Illusion, as it was taken by Balaur forces. You’ll have to return to Dymones at the Zumion Village. Dymones will ask you to investigate the Fire Temple.
Head to the Fire Temple and talk to Phion outside of it. The Fire Temple is a dungeon, and you’ll need to be at least level 35 and have an item level of 500 at minimum. Create a party or join one to start the dungeon run.
The Fire Temple Dungeon
As you enter the dungeon, quickly defeat all of the Spark Spirits and keep moving. The path will split into three ahead. Go right. You can also follow the quest marker on the minimap to get an idea of where you have to go. Bind with the Kibelisk here and keep going. The enemies here will be quite strong, and you’ll have to interact with the coolant device quickly.
Take the stairs to the right of the coolant, and you’ll find Murute here. For the quest, you can either fight against Ignus or Murute. After defeating Murute, head to the edge of the cliff. You can glide to the main door from here.
As you go inside, you’ll find the Fire Temple’s final boss, Kromede’s Desire. The boss loves to move around, so it can be a little tough for melee characters. It can also release a blast that can kill you if you’re standing too close.
