The fall of a kingdom
Glast Heim is what remains of the old capital of the Rune Kingdom, whose warriors were so strong that other nations called them Super Entities. Legend says the king wanted even more power from the sacred books hidden deep in the Ancient Tower of Geffenia, and sent Assassins to steal them. By reading them he released an evil that cursed every soul in his kingdom to endless torment.
The king's name is forgotten; he is now known only as the Dark Lord, and the people of Glast Heim have become monsters that feed on travelers. The Dark Lord himself is a 1-hour MVP in the Glast Heim Churchyard. Lately adventurers have also reported explosions inside the ruins, and no one knows exactly what happened.

Nightmare Glast Heim
Nightmare Glast Heim is a harder version of the regular Glast Heim maps, with two floors of higher-level monsters. Talk to Hugin's follower at glast_01 (196/273), next to the Old Glast Heim NPCs and the Kafra, and pay her fee.
| Floor | Suggested level | Fee | Some monsters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monastery Cemetery | 100-130 | 5,000 Zeny | Wraith Dead, Corrupted Priest, Cursed Box, Dark Lord |
| 2nd Floor Corridor | 140+ | 10,000 Zeny | Wandering Man, Swift Wanderer, Cursed Book, Alice |
Glast Heim Abyss
Glast Heim Abyss is an expanded dungeon for level 175 and up. Get there through the Dungeon Teleporter in the Eden Group, through a Warp Portal from another player, or by talking to Magician Nillem at glast_01 (189/272) and choosing to go. Nillem also gives three daily hunting quests, which can all be taken at the same time.
| Daily quest | Hunt | Base EXP | Job EXP |
|---|---|---|---|
| An Empty Thing | 20 Contaminated Raydric, 20 Contaminated Raydric Archer | 8,142,552 | 5,674,080 |
| A Thing with High Freezing Point | 5 Frozen Gargoyle, 5 Prison Breaker | 2,036,754 | 1,425,726 |
| A Thing Like A Mirror | 10 Ice Ghost, 10 Flame Ghost | 4,138,800 | 2,897,160 |
Every monster here is level 180 or higher with over 2 million HP, and all of them carry level 2 or 3 Elements. A selection (the source lists ten):
| Icon | Monster | Level | HP | Element | Race |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Contaminated Raydric | 185 | 2,372,683 | Shadow 3 | Demi-Human |
![]() | Frozen Gargoyle | 186 | 2,377,139 | Water 3 | Demon |
![]() | Prison Breaker | 186 | 2,375,279 | Undead 2 | Demi-Human |

![]() | Corrupted Spider Queen (boss) | 195 | 74,623,473 | Shadow 3 | Demon |
The monsters drop level 4 weapons for level 175 characters, such as Wand of Flame, Wand of Ice, Staff of Blue Flame, Prisoner Diary and the Two-handed Sword and Lance of Kingdom, and each has its own card.
Old Glast Heim instance
Old Glast Heim is a repeatable instance that sends your party through a time gap into Glast Heim's past, during an invasion led by the valkyrie Himelmez. It needs Base Level 130 and a party of at least 1, has a 16-hour cooldown and a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes. Players mostly run it for Coagulated Spell, which is traded for items such as Temporal Dex Boots and their enchants. Most monsters inside are Undead race with Undead or Shadow element, and all are stronger than their normal versions.
- The party leader talks to Hugin at glast_01 (204/273) to create the time gap, then everyone enters through him.
- Floor 1: after a story scene with Varmundt, Heinrich and the valkyrie Himelmez, clear the west, east and north areas and rescue the survivors, then beat the first MVP, Corrupted Soul.
- Floor 2: defeat the two Commanders of Destruction, then face Himelmez, who turns the last survivor into the final MVP, Amdarais.
- Bring Stone and Silence immunity; Hell's Judgement has a long cast and can be blocked by standing behind one of the four columns. You must be alive when each MVP dies to get its reward.
| MVP | Level | HP | Element | Race |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corrupted Soul (floor 1) | 150 | 1,820,000 | Earth 3 | Demon |
| Amdarais (floor 2) | 150 | 4,290,000 | Undead 4 | Undead |
After Amdarais, Hugin gives Temporal Crystals and Coagulated Spells: 5 of each the first time and 1 of each after that. Players who earned that reward can then use the fountain in the top-right corner of floor 1 to reach the Treasure Room.
