Kromede’s Trial is home to four Named Monsters, however, unlike other Instanced Dungeons, these Named Monsters are linked to each other and engaging one will have ramifications for facing the others.

Kaliga is the final boss of Kromede’s Trial, and will drop different loot depending on whether the three Named Monsters prior are defeated. Should Daevas choose to engage the Instanced Dungeon’s other Named Monsters before facing Kaliga, those same monsters will fight alongside Kaliga in a weakened state during the final battle.

Kaliga himself will also be weakened should one of the other Named Monsters be engaged. If Daevas choose to face Kaliga without engaging the other Named Monsters, Kaliga will have a chance to drop Fabled weapons from the “Kaliga” series. If the other Named Monsters are engaged, Kaliga will drop Heroic armor and accessories from the “Corrupt Judge” series.

Kromede’s Trial Buffs

Inside Kromede’s Trial, Daevas can acquire 4 different buffs that will aid them through the Instanced Dungeon. Use them before a difficult encounter or during a time of need; they might just be the difference between life and death!

There are two different approaches to the Kromede’s Trial Instanced Dungeon, with the main difference being the loot that the final boss (and the antecedent Named Monsters) drops.

Daevas can enter Kromede’s Trial at Camp Kistenian in Beluslan (for Asmodians), or Arbolu’s Haven in Heiron (for Elyos).

The Grand Cavern narrows and leads into the Temple Vault, where Maga’s Potion is kept

Divine Hisen, an ancient Daeva of Lady Siel’s Spear Legion, protects Maga’s Potion inside the Temple Vault. Defeat him to secure Maga’s Potion and save Robstin’s life.

Divine Hisen has had centuries to hone his skills; beware, he’s no pushover!

Once Divine Hisen has been defeated, grab Maga’s Potion and teleport back to the Kaliga Manor

Kromede’s lover, Robstin, is imprisoned in the Kaliga Dungeons. With the Grand Cavern cleared and Maga’s Potion is secured, Kromede teleports to Kaliga’s Manor, only to be betrayed by Kaliga. In order to reach Robstin, Kromede must defeat Warden Baal and the Manor Guard Captain, and secure the key to Robstin’s prison.

Once Kromede realizes what has happened, she uses Rotan to break free from her cell and rushes to reach Robstin

…but Kromede is too late…

Overcome with the desire for vengeance, Kromede proceeds to the Kaliga Manor. Inside the Manor are numerous Normal Monsters, Named Monsters, and the final boss, Kaliga. Daevas will also find a handful of items and useful buffs to aid them in enacting Kromede’s revenge.

Watch out for sentries in this area, and remember, even the butlers and maids are dangerous!	Click on the Prophet’s Tower in the Manor Entrance  to receive a powerful buff

Kill Shadow Executor Asusin on the second level of the Kaliga Manor to receive Maga’s Potion and a potent recovery skill

Lay the smackdown on Jeeves to secure the Secret Safe Key, and the way to the Kaliga Treasury

In this area are a couple more Normal Monsters, and the final boss, Kaliga. Depending on Kromede’s actions in the Instanced Dungeon, she will face either Kaliga the Unjust or Shadow Judge Kaliga.

Notice the weapon racks leading up to Kaliga. Kaliga the Unjust has a chance to drop Kaliga’s Key, which will open one of the weapon racks and grant Daevas access to a Fabled weapon of their choosing

If facing Shadow Judge Kaliga, he will also be accompanied by any of his allies that were defeated during the Instanced Dungeon. These allies are Hamam the Torturer, Lady Angerr, and Justicetaker Wyr. However, when fighting with Shadow Judge Kaliga, these Named Monsters will be in a weakened state.

Shadow Judge Kaliga fights alongside his allies in their weakened state

If facing Kaliga the Unjust, Kromede will have her hands full. Kaliga the Unjust is a much more difficult Named Monster, and has numerous abilities that can dish out massive damage and make him a hassle to defeat.

Kaliga the Unjust begins the battle by stunning Kromede and activating his two Orbs

The Orb of Strength reduces the damage Kaliga takes from all attacks to 1, making this Orb a priority to destroy	Destroying the Orb of Magic will further reduce Kaliga’s defenses, and make him easier to defeat

While avoiding Kaliga might seem a wise idea, he’ll use his magic to yank foes back when they’re out of range

Throughout the encounter, Kaliga the Unjust will summon Golems to aid him. Be sure to beat the Golems down fast, their health is low but they hit hard!

Be careful when Kaliga creates a lightning circle, he’s about to unleash a devastating attack!

When Kaliga the Unjust is defeated, there’s a chance he’ll drop Kaliga’s Key, which can open one of the Weapon Racks and grant access to a Fabled weapon!

With Kaliga slain, Kromede has her revenge, but the pain of Robstin’s death corrupts her into a creature not so dissimilar from the one that took her loved one’s life…

Thus, the once noble and compassionate Kromede becomes Kromede the Corrupt.
