The path in the sky



Icarus is a road through the sky and one of the hardest classic maps, meant for high-level characters only. Nobody gets in without wings or a flying mount. The Phoenix of Darkness (also called the Dark Phoenix) guards it, and only the strongest groups make it to the end, where great treasure is said to wait for those who beat the guardians of the sky.
You can walk in at level 160 while riding a flying mount, or warp in at level 170 with wings or a flying mount. The way in is from the Lost Tower at (18,249), and the exit inside Icarus at (15,15) leads back there.
Wings and mounts
- Wearing Wings meets the entry requirement on its own.
- The Dinorant is a flying mount that gives access to Icarus.
- The Season 9 mount table lists the Dinorant, Fenrir (normal, defensive and destructive) and the Dark Horse as usable in Icarus, and the Unicorn as not usable. See Pets & Mounts.
Monsters and drops
The monsters of Icarus are Alquamos, Mega Crust, Queen Rainier, Drakan, Alpha Crust, Phantom Knight, Great Drakan and the Phoenix of Darkness. Several of them matter for progression:
- Loch's Feather and the Crest of Monarch, used to craft Level 2 wings and capes, drop in Icarus (community guide, older season).
- The Phoenix of Darkness drops the Dark Phoenix Feather needed in the first part of Priest Devin's 3rd class quest.
- During a Golden Invasion a Golden Crust can show up here.
Crimson Flame's Icarus
Since Season 15 Part 2Season 15 Part 2 (January 26, 2021) added Crimson Flame's Icarus, a field full of elemental monsters under the flames, entered from the Lost Tower. Its monsters drop Elemental Symbols that can be combined into a Superior Pentagram and Mastery parts (see the Elemental System). The official Season 15 guide list also has a page for its Elite Zone.
- Monsters: Crimson Flame's Alquamos, Queen Rainier, Megacrust, Alphacrust and Phantom Knight.
- Level: the community map list says 1,070 to enter or warp. Season 19 Part 1 (where it is called Blazefire's Icarus) changed entry 1,070 / penalty 1,100 to entry 1,050 / penalty 1,100.
- At launch, the event version of the map also dropped the Golden Crest, a main material for Lv. 4 Wings.
