AION 2 Deus Research Base Transcendence Stage 4 Explained in Under 4 Minutes

Storyline / Context

• This video is a fast guide to AION 2’s “Deus Research Base” Transcendence content, focused specifically on Stage 4—especially the highest tier (Tier 4).
• The run is presented as a dungeon run that culminates in a final boss fight, preceded by required monster-clearing steps.

Gameplay / Run Requirements (Stage 4, Tier 4)

Tiers

• There are four tiers, each with different gear score requirements.
• The guide covers only Tier 4 (the highest tier).

Key Reward

• Arcana cards are the most important rewards from this run.

Dungeon Progression Rule (Normal Mobs Requirement)

• You must kill a required number of normal monsters before entering the final boss.
• For Tier 4: 150 monster kills are required.
• Time limit: you have 30 minutes to complete the dungeon.

Speed Strategy (Team Efficiency)

• Use one player as a runner:
  • The runner moves ahead to activate teleporters.
  • The rest of the party clears required monsters.
• This allows the group to teleport directly between bosses, saving time.

Boss Mechanics & How to Handle Them

1) Gelkus

Electric floor attack (ground electricity zone)

• Someone is targeted; Gelkus charges to them and leaves an electric zone on the floor.
• Strategy: the targeted player should drag the zone toward the outer edge so it doesn’t block the party’s fight area.

Pull + whip AoE

• Gelkus pulls players in, then performs a whip AoE around the arena.
• Strategy: move away or use a defensive ability when you see it coming (it hits hard).

Other attacks (star-shaped + big AoEs)

• Strategy: watch for telegraphs, dodge through safe gaps, and avoid trying to tank.

2) Naszmund

• Generally easier than Gelkus, but positioning still matters.

Fight location

• Prefer fighting near the edge of the arena rather than the middle.

Laser patterns

• Lasers create patterns; when they move toward you, jump over or move out instead of standing in them.

Targeted zones (avoid stacking)

• If a targeted zone appears under a player, don’t stack on top of them.
• Strategy: move away so zones don’t overlap.

3) Final Boss: A Teil

Link mechanic (party linked to one player)

• The party becomes linked to a single player (the entire party is linked to that target).
• Strategy:
  • The linked players should move away from the linked player,
  • while still staying grouped.

Player trap + damage sharing

• A Teil traps one player.
• Strategy: the rest of the party should quickly group up and enter the marked zone to help share damage.

Platform-destruction energy phase (very dangerous)

• The boss moves to the center, sends energy waves across the arena, and destroys outer platform sections.
• Strategy:
  • Stay toward the center,
  • watch wave telegraphs,
  • jump/dodge through gaps or use defensive tools.
• Critical warning: do not get pushed off the platform.

Boss-linking while pushing proximity

• The boss can link the party directly to himself.
• Strategy: stay close (moving too far causes damage) while still dodging other mechanics—don’t tunnel vision on DPS.

“Cannot Fail” Check: Stagger Phase (End of Fight)

When it triggers

• Near the end, the boss becomes vulnerable to stagger.

What to do

• As soon as the stagger bar becomes available, everyone must use stagger abilities.
• Red cone zones will appear and move—avoid them.

Failure condition

• If the party does not stagger successfully during this window, the fight ends in a wipe.

Emphasized tip

• Save stagger abilities specifically for this mechanic.

Key Tip Summary

• Complete 150 mob kills within 30 minutes (Tier 4) to unlock the final boss.
• Use a runner to activate teleporters for faster boss-to-boss movement.
• Gelkus:
  • Drag electric zones to the outer edge,
  • dodge pull/whip,
  • avoid tanking.
• Naszmund:
  • Fight near the edge,
  • react to moving lasers,
  • don’t stack targeted zones.
• A Teil:
  • Handle linking carefully,
  • use the marked zone to mitigate the trap phase,
  • survive the energy-wave platform destruction,
  • stay close during link-to-boss moments.
• Final wipe point: red cones + the stagger window—save stagger abilities for this check.
