Questions

How many bosses are in Deus Research Base?

Three: Gelcos and Nazmun are mid-bosses, and Atiel is the final boss. The mid-bosses are optional, but each counts as 45 kills toward the quota that opens Atiel, and the cube pays for every boss you killed.

What item level do you need for Deus Research Base?

On the global servers you need level 45 and a party of 2 to 5. Stage 1 asks for item level 1,600, Stage 2 for 1,900, Stage 3 for 2,200 and Stage 4 for 2,500. Some Korean guides list lower numbers.

Is there a Hard mode for Deus Research Base?

Not like Conquest Hard. Transcendence has four stages instead, and each one raises the item level, boss strength and kill quota. Stage 2 adds Balance, Stage 3 adds Wrath, and Stage 4 adds Judgment, where boss hits stack a debuff that explodes.

How do you beat Atiel's Morphic World?

Hold your stagger skills until he jumps to the middle and shouts. Then empty his stagger bar together within about 10 seconds while you dodge the red slices. If the bar isn't empty in time, the party wipes.

What does Deus Research Base drop?

Arcana cards (Bell, Compass and Chalice, in Vigor and Magic), Amplify Stone Fragments, Silentium, Soul Codex, Enhance Stones, manastones, soulstones and Kinah. Higher stages pay higher card grades, and a Unique Chalice comes only from Stage 4.
