Spezion Instance

Lineage 2 – Spezion Instance Zone Walkthrough!

Killing Spezion takes about 25 to 30 minutes and requires a party of seven people. I recommend having at least one Wynn Summoner in the party accompanied by one Othell Rogue or Tyrr Warrior - preferably both. If you do not have this minimal setup you may take a while killing the Spezion Raid Boss. The reward for completing this instance is approximately 300 million experience points without Mentee bonus, or XP runes active. Typically you will receive an Apocalypse weapon each run, though occasionally two will drop on a single run. It is also very common to receive an Enchant Weapon R-Grade scroll. You must wait four hours before you may attempt another Spezion instance run. When completing the instance you will be greeted by an NPC to turn in daily quest items for an additional 60 million experience points. You can turn in for belt fragments, and R-Grade weapon crystals as well as a few other rewards.

Prior to entering Spezion

Your group must collect Memory Fragments by killing monsters on the outside of the instance zone. Once every group member has collected at least one of these Memory Fragments, the party leader may click on the device to enter the instance. The device in question is located between the cannons at the centre of the room opposite from where you entered. To get to the area you need to go to Magmeld City, find the Sookie Gatekeeper, and click “Prison of Darkness”.  You will have to hunt for cannon balls, fire them using the cannons and kill monsters with timers. When you kill a monster with a timer it will drop one Memory Fragment and one Frightened Memory Fragment. The Frightened Memory Fragment is for the Epic Spezion instance. The epic version of theSpezion Instance skips the first stages and allows you to fight Spezion immediately.

Stage 1 Spezion – Garden of Genesis

Your party will be split up upon entering into the instance zone. You must navigate your way through the upper Garden of Genesis area as a group to find a beacon that is placed within. This area is the same layout as you would see in the normal Garden of Genesis area. Typically the best strategy for this is to communicate to your group members which places you are checking, as well as where you have already been so that you can find it quickly. The monsters around you also have an ability which ports you randomly anywhere in the area. This can be useful if you want to move across map because you know the beacon is not near you. Unfortunately this also means it can be detrimental if you do not want to get moved away from the beacon once you’ve found it. You have two attempts at this as a group, the first of which is five minutes, the second of which is seven minutes. (I do not know what happens if you miss the seven minute attempt as that I have never actually failed – it might give you more attempts.) Once inside if a member is disconnected or otherwise finds him or herself outside you may enter again as of a recent patch. To my understanding, this is now legal and not against the rules – this was part of the infamous Spezion Instance Exploit.  All group members must get next to the beacon and click leave record.  Any group member may then click the second option, “Escape from the Garden of Genesis” to take the group to the second stage.

Stage 2 Spezion – Orbis Temple

You now find yourself in Orbis Temple. You must find your way to a beacon that is near your current location. The catch is that there are three doorways that you must pass through. To open a door you must click and activate the time bomb in each of the rooms. You will have to kill some monsters before you can get to these time bombs. Once clicking on a bomb the door will open. Monsters will begin to spawn every few seconds and begin attacking the time bomb.  If this time bomb falls to zero life you will have to start again. You have unlimited attempts to complete this stage.  The typical strategy to complete this stage is leaving one group member behind in each of the rooms.  (I recommend the summoner for the first room, and the tank for the second room.)

The second room is essentially the same task. Killing the mobs in front of the bomb will allow you to activate it and open the second door. You should leave another group member in this room to clear the mobs that spawn. Alternately you may also have the tank use aggression on all of the mobs and run them around in a circle after enabling the time bomb. The rest of the group will be able to complete this stage before the monsters can kill the time bomb. You may also want to have the tank aggression some of these monsters so that the time bomb takes less damage, granting you some more time to complete the trip to the beacon.





The third room is once again the same task, but you do not have to leave anybody in this room because you will complete the instance before the monsters can kill the bomb. Once you activate the third bomb you have about 2 minutes to run down a hall way, up a ramp and onto another platform with a number of mobs on it. You need to locate the monster in the middle of this grouping to kill. Once you kill this mob the door in the back opens and then you can make your way to the beacon.  Upon clicking this beacon you are moved to stage three.

Stage 3 Spezion – Killing Spezion

You find yourself in a room that looks just like the outside prior to entering the instance. This time you will not have to deal with mobs and instead you can see the pedestal. Once any member clicks that pedestal Spezion spawns. Spezion is immune to damage because it has celestial shield. You should move him over in front of a cannon as dictated by the image below. Monsters with strong area of effect damage will spawn and run towards Spezion. Have your party members use AOE skills to kill these minions as they gather up.  As you kill these monsters cannon balls will be dropped which you can use to fire the cannons. Spezion will lose the celestial shield buff and become vulnerable to attack if the cannons are fired while inside of the circle noted below. It is recommended that all de-buff skills get placed on the boss immediately. Your summoner should use a transformation if available for maximum damage. Once the de-buffs are placed on the boss Battle Rhapsody should be used to do the most amount of damage in the shortest time possible. If this is done correctly, Spezion will die just before the Battle Rhapsody fades. If your damage is not sufficient to kill Spezion, the celestial shield will come back up about a minute later.  You will have to move to the next cannon and repeat the process again until dead. It should be noted that the second cannon is bugged and when fired does not remove the Celestial shield.

Epic Spezion Mode

Four Spezion raids will spawn and double the usual monsters will accompany them every few seconds. Using the same area of effect damage tactics as described on the simple mode collect the cannon balls and navigate the bosses into the firing zone. When the cannons hit Spezion, three of the copies will disappear, leaving one alive for you to kill. You should also be careful of the red mist that appears, if you stay on it for too long it will deal large amounts of damage to you and destroy your party.
