Gates of Darkness
The demons have created the Gates of Darkness as a portal to Elrios. They plan on sending their dark forces into Elrios and create an invasion that will ravage the continent. The only one that can stop them is Elsword's team.
Gameplay
This dungeon has a unique gameplay. It involves battling waves of mobs, both bosses and normal monsters.
There are 15 rounds per play. Each wave ends with a pop out image showing the next round number.
The goal of this dungeon is to protect the "El Crystal" at the far left of the map from the monsters.
On Normal and Hard there is one El Crystal and one portal that spawns monsters.
On Very Hard there are two portals that spawn monsters, and two pathways for each portal.
In the background of the map, there is a Dark Bone Dragon. This dragon will occasionally charge up various attacks to interrupt the players' progress of defending each wave. It cannot be attacked, and will flee after the final round.
The dungeon is only accessible on certain time periods of the day. When the dungeon opens, only Normal difficulty can be accessed. Higher difficulties can be accessed when all players of the server completed the dungeon a certain amount of times.
If you allow the El Crystal to be attacked, right before it changes colors on the minimap it will tell you "the El power is spreading, the aura of darkness is growing weaker" and one of the dragon heads will return to sleep.

Dark Bone Dragon
The Dark Bone Dragon will be the main obstacle of the dungeon. At the beginning of the dungeon, only one of the Dragon's head will be awake. As you progress through the dungeon, the 2nd and 3rd head will awaken. The Dragon's attack range is dependent on the amount of heads that are awake. Each head will send out attacks onto 1/4th of the map while the far-left 1/4 of the stage will be untouched with the Dragon's attack.
Moves
- Draco Meteor: The Dragon will roar and rain down several fireballs onto the stage. There are 3 different types of fireballs that the dragon will use. Each head of the dragon will randomly be assigned one of the 3 types and will only use that type of meteor for the entire dungeon run.
- Flame: The meteors will be red in color and will inflict Burn when the players are hit. In addition to their Burn effect, these fireballs can perform splash damage, meaning players can still be damaged when they try to approach the fireballs after they made contact with the ground.
- Frost: The meteors will be blue in color and will inflict Frostbite when the players are hit.
- Curse: The meteors will be purple in color and will inflict Curse when the players are hit.
- Fissure: The Dragon will roar and open a fissure on the stage. Afterwards, stalagmites will rise up and drag any players towards the left and the fissure will close up and anyone caught standing on ground will be knocked up into the air.
