How dungeons work. Every region has a glowing Dungeon Portal (with a Summoning Stone beside it, to call an online friend to your side). Walk up and press F to open the entry screen, choose Normal (solo-tuned for the dungeon's level) or Heroic (deadlier foes — and a simple AI ally answers your call to heal and fight beside you), then Enter Dungeon. Inside: fight through minion packs, solve a small puzzle to open the inner gate, then face 3–4 bosses. Each boss telegraphs its big moves — a ground circle blooms (step out), a safe ring glows (step in), a lane lights up (sidestep) — so there is always a beat to react. Fell the final boss to roll the dungeon chest and a small chance at that dungeon's exclusive mount. A run is about ten minutes; instances reset every time you enter, so they're endlessly replayable.
Heroic mode. Heroic dungeons drop gear with +32% combat stats and one higher rarity tier than Normal (e.g. a Rare Normal drop becomes Legendary on Heroic). Heroic items display a separate ilvl value in their tooltip. An AI ally joins you in Heroic to handle the additional challenge. Torches and ambient lighting are enhanced in Heroic to aid visibility. Enemies do not spawn immediately near the player's starting position, and nameplates are limited by distance so the screen stays readable.
Tab targeting. Press Tab to cycle through nearby enemies — it now also cycles NPCs, and the targeting range has been increased so you can lock onto targets across wider arenas.

A sea-cave under the Isle where the tide keeps its own slow clock. Bioluminescent pools light the dark, and something old has made a nest where the water never drains.

Drop chance: 2.0% from the final boss · dungeon-only — found nowhere else in the world
A drake hatched in the Emberforge Crucible. Embers trail from its wings. A rare drop. Press G to ride.
At the frozen heart of the Long Hush, where the world's last hour pools and will not flow, the Hushed built a sanctum to keep time from ever moving again. Beyond its wardens waits Tempus Mortis — the Last Hour given form. Slay it, and time itself can begin again.
🕯 Environment. A sanctum at the end of time: floating shards of frozen "now", a starless void overhead, motionless waterfalls hung mid-fall, and a great stopped clock-face as the final arena.

2. The Great Horologe
HP 18,000 · melee 60–78
- A vast clockwork warden. Its hands sweep the arena in long LINES (dodge the lanes) and it pendulum-SLAMS a wide ring. It overwinds into an enrage.

Item Level (ilvl) in Dungeons. Purple+ gear from dungeons carries an item level that scales with the dungeon's recommended level. Normal drops range from roughly ilvl 140–200; Heroic drops climb from ilvl 185–255. Your Character Sheet shows your average ilvl across all slots. Below is the per-dungeon breakdown:
Elite mobs. Five enemies across the dungeons carry the elite tag — they have boosted HP and a telegraphed Heavy Strike wind-up that hits much harder than a regular blow. Watch for the wind-up animation and be ready to dodge or use a defensive cooldown.
Positional damage. Two special multipliers apply in all dungeons: Surprise Attack grants +30% damage on the first strike from stealth (Rogues especially), and Momentum grants +20% damage if you dash immediately before attacking.
Swimming. Some dungeon environments (Tideclock Grotto, Drowned Cathedral) have surface-swim sections. Movement speed is 55% on the water surface, with a gentle sin-wave bob animation.
