Lineage 2 Epic Bosses: Queen Ant, Core, Orfen, Zaken, Baium, Antharas, Valakas

Lineage 2 Wiki & Guides

A guide to the epic bosses of classic Lineage 2 chronicles: where they are, what level they are, which epic jewelry they drop and why clans fight for them on every private server.

Epic bosses are the heart of clan competition in Lineage 2. They drop unique epic jewelry that gives stats no other item can, and the fight for them — against the boss and against other clans — creates the most memorable moments of any server. Here is an overview of the classic epic bosses used on Interlude and High Five servers.

Overview

Boss Approx. level Location Epic jewelry
Queen Ant 40 Ant Nest Ring of Queen Ant
Core 50 Cruma Tower Ring of Core
Orfen 50 Sea of Spores Earring of Orfen
Zaken 60 Devil’s Isle (Zaken’s ship) Zaken’s Earring
Baium 75 Tower of Insolence Ring of Baium
Antharas 79 Antharas’ Lair (Dragon Valley) Earring of Antharas
Valakas 85 Hall of Flames Necklace of Valakas
Frintezza 85 Imperial Tomb (Interlude) Necklace of Frintezza

Levels, respawn times and drop chances are often changed by private servers — check the server’s info before planning a raid.

Queen Ant, Core and Orfen

The “low” epics are the first serious goal for new clans. Queen Ant is famous for fights at the entrance of the Ant Nest; Core and Orfen require a coordinated party with enough healing. Their jewelry is valuable for the whole season because it gives bonuses not available on regular items.

Zaken

Zaken lives on a cursed ship near Devil’s Isle and is one of the most contested mid-level bosses. His earring is a strong defensive and utility item, and night/day mechanics on some chronicles make the raid more interesting.

Baium

Baium sleeps at the top of the Tower of Insolence. Waking him requires special conditions, and the fight usually turns into a chaotic battle between several clans. The Ring of Baium is one of the most desired items in the game.

Antharas and Valakas

The dragons are the ultimate PvE challenge of classic chronicles. They need a large, well-geared alliance, preparation and discipline. Owning an Earring of Antharas or a Necklace of Valakas is a status symbol on any server.

How clans prepare

  • Gather an alliance with enough healers, buffers and tanks.
  • Track respawn windows — many servers announce them in Discord.
  • Prepare consumables: potions, shots, buff scrolls.
  • Expect PvP: the strongest rival clan will come too.

Find a server and a clan

Epic bosses are most exciting on fresh servers where everyone starts equal. Check the new servers calendar, pick a chronicle from our chronicles comparison and find a clan on the forum. Many raids are streamed live — see our Streams page.
