AION 2 season dungeon affixes

5 Transcendence dungeons carry seasonal affixes: extra effects on the monsters and sometimes on you, added stage by stage. Read from the global client's season tables.

From the game files: client 2.0.6.0 hotfix 1 (Steam build 25800038, 2026-10-09)

In AION 2 each season picks a set of affixes for the Transcendence dungeons (Shattered Arkanis, Deus Research Base, Submerged Life Temple, Mirror of Scarlet Desire, Abyssal Horn Den). Stage 1 has none; every later stage keeps the earlier stage's affixes and adds one, so Stage 4 carries the most. Season 1 uses 2 dungeons; seasons 2, 3, 4 use 5.

Dungeon affix FAQ

What are season affixes in AION 2?

Effects the season adds to the Transcendence dungeons: some strengthen the monsters (Elevation, Wrath, Ascension), some leave a hazard when a strong enemy dies (Poison Blood, Balance, Spore) and some hit you when a boss or elite strikes you (Judgment, Betrayal, Afterimage, Barrage, Roar). Each stage keeps the earlier ones and adds one.

Which dungeons have seasonal affixes?

Shattered Arkanis, Deus Research Base, Submerged Life Temple, Mirror of Scarlet Desire, Abyssal Horn Den. The first season lists only Shattered Arkanis and Deus Research Base; seasons 2, 3, 4 add the rest.

Do the affixes change Ascension Trial runs?

No. The Ascension Trial has its own Dungeon Debuff per season (Wrath or Elevation on two towers); see the Ascension Trial page.

Data: client 2.0.6.0 hotfix 1 (Steam build 25800038, 2026-10-09). Not in this client: DungeonTrialAffix has no rows, so no other affix list exists. See the Ascension Trial and the season overview.
