# Kylo Ren Instance

### Kylo Ren Instance - Player Wiki

The **Kylo Ren Instance** is a party-based daily instance that sends players through multiple Star Wars themed battle areas before a final fight against **Kylo Ren**. The run has two difficulty modes: **Easy** for lighter clears and **Hard Mode** for stronger enemies and better Kylo Ren Fragment rewards.

***

### Quick Start

* **Where**: Dicastes Field 02 - talk to **`Kylo Ren#event`** at @npc 62
* **Nearby NPCs**: **Storm Trooper** NPCs stand beside the entrance.
* **Party size**: **1 to 5 players**.
* **Who can create**: Only the **party leader** can create the instance.
* **Entry cost**: Each entering member must pass the entry item check for **15x item `3100`**.
* **Daily lockout**: Once a character/account/device has faced Kylo Ren for the day, they cannot enter again until the daily reset.

***

### How to Enter

1. Form a party. Solo entry is allowed because the minimum party size is 1.
2. Have the party leader talk to **`Kylo Ren#event`**.
3. Choose **Create Instance (Kylo Ren)**.
4. Choose the difficulty:
   * **Easy** - lighter enemies, **Kylo Ren Fragment x1\~2**.
   * **Hard Mode** - stronger enemies and final boss, **Kylo Ren Fragment x2\~5**.
5. Each member talks to the same NPC and chooses **Enter Instance (Kylo Ren)**.

If a party member has already completed or entered the Kylo Ren daily lockout, the instance creation will fail and the NPC will list the blocked character.

***

### Difficulty Differences

Difficulty affects monster stats and clear rewards.

| Enemy Type                       |                  Easy |        Hard Mode |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------: | ---------------: |
| Wave monsters                    |            300% stats |       500% stats |
| Mid-bosses                       |            120% stats |       200% stats |
| Final Kylo Ren                   | Normal database stats |       200% stats |
| Dragon summons during final boss |        Weaker summons | Stronger summons |
| Kylo Ren Fragment reward         |                  1\~2 |             2\~3 |

The stat scaling affects monster **ATK**, **MATK**, **HP**, and **HIT**. Scaled monsters are also set to level 255.

***

### Instance Flow

The run moves through several areas and unlocks portals as objectives are cleared.

#### 1) Opening Battle

You begin with Kylo Ren and Storm Troopers. After the introduction, waves of enemies spawn in the first area. Clear all waves to unlock the path forward.

#### 2) Hoth / Ice Area

Kylo Ren leads the party into the frozen area. Players fight several waves, then face the ice mid-boss:

* **Lost Dragon**

After the Lost Dragon is defeated, return through the unlocked portal.

#### 3) Mustafar / Fire Area

The party moves into the fire area. Players fight another set of waves, then face the fire mid-boss:

* **Kylo Summoned Nydhog**

After the fire boss is defeated, return to the main area.

#### 4) Ambush

After returning from Mustafar, Kylo Ren ambushes the party. Players are briefly forced into a disabled/blinded state, then Rebel Troopers reveal the path to the final boss room.

#### 5) Final Boss

Enter the final portal to fight **Kylo Ren**.

***

### Final Boss Mechanics

Kylo Ren uses several summon phases while fighting.

* **Storm Trooper reinforcements**: Kylo regularly calls Elite Storm Troopers around him.
* **75% HP and below**: Kylo summons up to 10 dark-side beasts using the instance wave monster list.
* **50% HP and below**: Kylo summons both dragon types:
  * **Kylo Summoned Nydhog**
  * **Lost Dragon**
* **25% HP and below**: Kylo creates up to 4 Kylo Ren clones.
* **Rebel support**: Rebel Troopers periodically appear during the final fight and fight alongside the party.

Tip: Clear dangerous summons quickly. Leaving too many adds alive can make the final phase much harder, especially on Hard Mode.

***

### Rewards

When Kylo Ren is defeated, eligible party members inside the instance receive **Kylo Ren Fragment**:

* **Easy**: **1\~2x Kylo Ren Fragment** (`70473`)
* **Hard Mode**: **2\~5x Kylo Ren Fragment** (`70473`)

Kylo Ren Fragment is account-bound style loot in the item database: it cannot be dropped, sold, mailed, carted, guild-stored, or auctioned.

***

### Ranking

The instance records party clear time in the **Elapsed Ranking** list.

* Ranking is based on the party's clear time.
* Faster clears rank higher.
* Ranking rewards are distributed daily at **8:00 AM** through Rodex Mail.

Ranking reward tiers:

| Rank | Clear Time Threshold |                Reward |
| ---- | -------------------: | --------------------: |
| S    |           10 minutes | 5x  Kylo Ren Fragment |
| A    |           20 minutes |  3x Kylo Ren Fragment |
| B    |           30 minutes |  2x Kylo Ren Fragment |
| C    |           40 minutes | 1x  Kylo Ren Fragment |
| D    |           50 minutes | 1x  Kylo Ren Fragment |
| E    |           60 minutes | 1x  Kylo Ren Fragment |

The public ranking can be checked from **`Kylo Ren#event`** by choosing **Check Elapsed Ranking**.

### Player Tips

* Choose **Easy** if your group mainly wants steady Kylo Ren Fragment farming.
* Choose **Hard Mode** if your party can handle heavier waves and a stronger final Kylo Ren.
* Bring area damage for the large wave sections.
* Bring sustain and crowd control for the final boss adds.
* Stay inside the instance until Kylo Ren dies, because completion rewards are granted to eligible party members present in the map.
* If pushing ranking, minimize downtime between portals and boss rooms.
