Expedition
Cradle of Nihility
Cradle of Nihility is an Expedition dungeon for 1–5 players with 3 modes (Exploration, Conquest, Conquest [Hard]). Entry needs item level 2,800–3,000. The client's entrance table lists character level 99 for it, above the current level cap of 45; the files don't say what opens it. Bosses: Afflicted Bakarma, Multiverse Veltiras and Solemn Valkan. 17 other kinds of monster live inside. Rewards: 7 a week (refilled on Wednesday). Rewards come from the Odyle Energy Cube: 40 energy a cube, a guaranteed reward after 3–28 cubes.
The collapse of AION Tower tore dimensions asunder, and it was into one such tear that Legion Commander Bakarma was drawn. Enduring an almost infinite span of time within Draupnir, a subspace that has absorbed the energy of countless other dimensions, he, too, accumulated immense power. Now broken free from the bonds of his physical form, Bakarma has become a transcendent being, agonizing over how to reshape the universe in his image.

Bosses
Hero and Legend monsters of this dungeon: from their internal names in the game's NPC table and from the instance maps' spawn lists.
Guaranteed reward
The Odyle Energy Cube (RewardOdEnergyCube): each cube opened counts toward the game's guaranteed reward (“Guaranteed reward available after meeting condensed cube energy conditions”). Days are our calculation: cubes × energy per cube ÷ 120 energy a day (15 every 3 hours), less what a full bar of 560 already holds.
Odyle Energy: 120 a day, so 21 cubes a week at 40; it holds up to 560 (840 with the game's subscription).
Chest rewards
The global client has no chest table of its own for this dungeon (its reward cube row points at another dungeon's tables, a placeholder) — the server decides the chests, so no chances can be read from the files. The guaranteed reward above and the monsters' own drops below are in the client.
