Fire Temple guide
Fire Temple has 4 bosses (Silver Blade Rotan, Red Spark Ignus, Black Smoke Murute and Kromede's Desire). The game's own guide warns about 1 of their attacks during the Exploration run; the boss cards below quote each warning with the skill, its cast time and what it does. Kromede's Desire goes into Frenzy after 5:00 of combat. The walkthrough lists the guide's 14 route steps in order.

Rules that apply outside the boss fights, as players describe them.
Shortcut jump is optional
The jump skip near the second boss saves only a few seconds. Failed jumps pull extra trash, so many groups walk around. Let others jump first and do not be the one left behind. [7]
Players disagree: Some players say to skip it; others insist on jumping. Running around is the safe choice for pugs.
The game shows no warning line for Silver Blade Rotan's attacks.

Players' notes
After the walls: arrows and a jump
Chasing arrows come right after the walls. Stop attacking and keep walking away in a line. Then she jumps to the farthest player, so do not be the farthest one. [1]
Triple AoE
A triple AoE hits the farthest player. Keep two dodges of stamina, or stay out of range as a ranged player. [1]
Pull her toward the edge
tankA healer asks tanks to face the boss away from the group near the edge, so cones and spreads have room and dps hit the back. [3]
Players disagree: Other tanks answer that main bosses jump back to the middle, so this only works for some moves.

The guide's briefing (8 lines)
Argh! You almost got me, kru! How did you get in here?
Are you here to see Kromede as well, kru? She's famous across Atreia!
She once served as a Silent Judicator, until something happened and she fled the Silent Court.
And she made sure to steal a bunch of relics in the process, kru!
A temple where Daeva offer up their treasures, and all of Kromede's relics! If this works out, we'll hit a real jackpot, kru!
You might be able to meet Kromede, kru! Investigate carefully!
Shall we work together again, kru? We make quite the team!
Listen up, kru. I'll give you all the information I've worked out so far.
How this page is made
Game files (client 2026.10.21 (Steam build 26077854, 2026-10-21)): the lines the game shows when a boss casts or uses a skill, gets a buff, starts or dies (NpcBehaviorCase → NpcTalk: “Guide” = the Shugo guide's hint in the Exploration run, “Boss” = the boss's own shout), the skill's name, cast time, cooldown and range (Skill), the buffs and debuffs it applies with the game's text (SkillEffect → SkillAbnormal), the Frenzy timer (NpcData.BossBerserkInvokeTime) and the stagger. Many boss skills are only called “Attack” in the files; those cards are named by their effect or by the action they ask for. HP thresholds are not in the client.
The action label on each card is our reading of the guide's line, by its words: the first that matches of “Big alone, small together”, “Stagger it”, “Stop attacking”, “Break free”, “Climb up”, “Jump”, “Take cover”, “Block it”, “Lure the boss”, “Colours”, “Kill it first”, “Stack up”, “Spread out”, “Find the gap”, “Get in”, “Move out”, “Burn it down”. The line itself is the game's.

Fire Temple guide FAQ
How do you beat Red Spark Ignus in Fire Temple?
Named skills: Flame Bomb (1.2 s cast).
How do you beat Kromede's Desire in Fire Temple?
The game's guide says: “Sprint between the flame walls” Frenzy after 5:00 (Conquest, Conquest [Hard]). Players add: Flame walls: sprint, do not spam dash — Walls sweep across the floor. Sprint or walk through the gaps; dashing burns stamina you need for what follows. Dash only once to start sprinting. On high ping, cut slightly into the wall edge early. After the walls: arrows and a jump — Chasing arrows come right after the walls. Stop attacking and keep walking away in a line. Then she jumps to the farthest player, so do not be the farthest one.
Is there an enrage timer in Fire Temple?
Yes: Kromede's Desire goes into Frenzy after 5:00 (Conquest, Conquest [Hard]). Frenzy raises its speed and damage (the buff's text in the game files).
What is the route through Fire Temple?
The guide gives 14 steps; it sends you to Silver Blade Rotan, Red Spark Ignus and Black Smoke Murute in that order. On the way it keeps reminding you to bind with each Kibelisk you pass.
