For the in-game books that explain exactly what are Dungeons, see Guidebook for Dungeon Exploration Volume 1 and Guidebook for Dungeon Exploration Volume 2.

• For an overview of dungeons, see Dungeon Overview.
• Dungeons, also known as Rath which meant "a strongly built palace" according to several books, are instanced maze-like zones filled with monsters and treasure. They are scattered all across Erinn, though none are located at Belvast.
  • According to the books, the Raths were originally created and used by Humans as a form of shelter from the Fomors, designed and expanded by magic to defend against intruders and/or confuse them. After the wars between the two races, the Humans stopped using the Raths, but for an unknown reason they are currently inhabited by Fomors.
• To enter a dungeon, give any item or a pass to the Dungeon Altar located at the dungeon's lobby.
  • All party mates who are also standing on the square will also enter the dungeon with you.
  • If someone drops the exact same item that you dropped, they will enter the same exact dungeon that you are in.
    • There is no limit to how many people can enter the same normal dungeon.
    • If you use a Dungeon Pass, the dungeon you enter will be completely instanced; even when other people drop the same pass, they will not enter your instance.
• There are many difficulties to a dungeon, usually containing more floors, rooms, and stronger monsters. They are Beginner, Normal, Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Abyss, with Beginner as the lowest difficulty and Abyss Advanced as the highest.
  • Not all dungeons have a difficulty.
  • Certain difficulties or dungeons may limit the amount of players that can enter the same instance of a dungeon.
• Some dungeons may have a "back door" in their lobby, leading to a Hard Mode Dungeon.
• All dungeons are generally structured to have multiple rooms with a treasure chest that spawns one or three waves of enemies when opened, a room or hallway with prespawned enemies and/or a treasure chest containing key, and/or a room with four orbs that either spawn enemies or open the locked gate. Within the exception of the orb rooms, a Dungeon Key always dropped and is needed to open the locked gates that lie ahead.
• All original partymates who were present in the dungeon when the Boss Room is initially opened will receive a reward chest at the end.
  • Keys to the rewards chest are tradeable but disappear once you leave the dungeon.
  • These keys cannot be brought between floors.
