Kinah LedgerAion 2 Ludra raid guide: returns November 4
Ludra, the Abyssal Forge raid pulled from launch after Early Access players cleared it too easily, returns on November 4, 2026 with new mechanics. Normal mode needs item level 2,800, Hard mode 3,000, and both open on day one. Here is everything confirmed, what the game files say it drops, and how to get ready.
Confirmed for global (official)
- Date: November 4, 2026, after maintenance, on every global region.
- Modes: Normal (item level 2,800) and Hard (item level 3,000), both available from launch.
- Why it was pulled: it was cleared during Early Access at a lower progression than intended, so it was removed from launch and reworked. It keeps its core identity with new and adjusted mechanics and attack patterns.
- Early Access gear: Ludra gear from Early Access was removed and is granted back when Ludra returns; upgrade materials used on it were reimbursed. Europe players who cleared it in Early Access get a unique title. (official update)
Ludra Hunt: first-clear titles
Nov 4 after maintenance to Nov 24 before maintenance. Hard-mode clears are ranked per region (Europe, NA East, NA West, South America, Asia). Titles arrive by Dec 2.
| Title | Who gets it |
|---|---|
| Conqueror of Ludra | the 1st party to clear Hard mode in each region |
| Champion of Ludra | parties 2–5 |
| Challenger of Ludra | parties 6–20 |
| Ludra Hunter | everyone who clears Normal or Hard in the event window |
Ludra Conquest check-in rewards
Log in on 7 of the 14 days between Nov 4 and Nov 17 (PST) for:
| Day | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1 | Bound Kina ×500,000 |
| 2 | Centuryroot Token (Shugo Coin) ×2,000 |
| 3 | Phantasmal Fragment (Nightmare Coin) ×3,000 |
| 4 | Abyss Points ×30,000 |
| 5 | Soul Crystal ×3,000 |
| 6 | Bound Kina ×1,000,000 |
| 7 | Lush Leaf Tiara (helmet) |
Before it: double Odyle Energy (Oct 28 – Nov 10)
From the Oct 28 maintenance until the Nov 10 maintenance, every character can claim a 2× Odyle Energy boost from mail once a day (the mail expires after 7 days). It is the cheapest time to push item level toward 2,800 (how item level adds up, and the path to 2,800 and 3,000): where to farm Odyle, enhancement odds.

Our Abyssal Forge: Ludra page lists everything the game files hold for it. The rework may change some of it.
Bosses: Isolation Specialist Rahu, Abyssal Wings Ketu, Central Abyss Fusion Reactor.

Reported from Early Access and the Korean service (may change)
- The in-game name is Abyssal Forge: Ludra, the first Sanctuary raid; it was reported as a 10-player raid (two parties of five).
- The final boss is Eternal Ludra, after Rahu and Ketu and a fusion-reactor objective.
- On the Korean service (where it is "Rudra") the last phase used a 36-tile "bingo" floor pattern and red/blue splits. Global gets new mechanics, so expect differences.
Not announced yet
- Weekly entries, Odyle cost, time limit and party size for global.
- Hard-mode rewards and lockout.
