It is no secret that you need a ton of gear to be able to do any of the content in Lineage 2, whether this is a 106 area, a 105+ timed instance or Dethrone. In a nice turn of events they added the Dethrone stats, which can be leveled by any player of level 110 and above, even with the free gear that you get from completing the noble quest, at 100.

A few things to consider is that some areas inside Dethrone are PvP zones, so there is a good chance you will get killed, the upside is that there is no XP loss from PvP. Try getting some “My Teleport” scrolls ( items found in the Adena Shop or from Events) , so you can save yourself a lot of time from running around from one spot to another.

There is a total of 5 Dethrone Skills you need to level up, if you are not fully aware of the stats that are rewarded, the items you need and how this feature works, you can find a detailed guide here. I would suggest a quick read as there are some details that you will need to know beforehand.

I would not say that the process is complicated but you might find yourself confused when you navigate around the map for each one of the skills the first few times. Now keep in mind that this is how I do it and there is a good chance someone else does it better or maybe you can find a more efficient way to do it.

There are 2 ways to do this, either go explain how its done by area or by skill, my personal preference is the latter so lets begin.

Fighting Spirit and Source of Fire skills

The “Fighting Spirit” and “Source of Fire” do not require anything from inside Dethrone to level up, so we will start with the “Source of Fire”, which has a total of 3 ways to enhance, the first one is “Sealed Source of Fire”, the byproduct from enchanting the “Fighting Spirit”, the second way is standing still in the center of the Fire Base.

Source of Fire skill

You get there but teleporting to “Fire Base” from the Teleport device, then you need to locate a landmark, the weird folded donut mountain! I really do not have a better description for it! Head towards that, make slight left turn, head downhill, run across the field and up the path that will get you to the area that is often referred as the AFK zone.

You need to reach the circle as shown in the minimap, right before you enter the AFK zone, you will be transformed to a yellow mermaid, this will let you know that you are on the right path.

You will also know that you are on the right place from the amount of people that you will see, this is a passive way to boost your character by standing still, this is a first in the history of Lineage 2 and for a stat that is really expensive, 40 element atk/def and 40 weapon patk/matk per level. for reference, the skill at level 5 is the equivalent of a “Top Opal lv5” and roughly an additional buff “Spirit of Eratone lv5”, all that by standing AFK…

A healer is a must in that area since your HP decreases with the rate of 1000HP/sec and only a few classes with certain gear can get away without one, get in a party and stand there for the duration of the session.

You can also get heals when you stand near other parties healing but when too many people get close, this little trick no longer works.

Individual Dethrone Points

A universal currency inside Dethrone, used in purchasing items from the Dethrone Store, upgrading skills and also determining where you rank in the Dethrone Leaderboards, you obviously get points by killing mobs but since we are talking about less geared players you can also collect flowers that are located in the 120+ zones, which are PvP areas, now mobs there are not aggro, but you need to watch for players that are XPing, there are archer mobs that AOE and hurt a lot! If your character gets killed, you will lose XP and if you do not have a second toon to get a rez, you will have to leave Dethrone, return back on the server, get a rez and port back in.

The flowers that reward Individual Dethrone Points are practically NPC’s, they do not have any hitpoints, you talk to them and exchange 500.000 SP and 1000 HP for points, you get around 280 points for every flower you talk to, if the area you gather flowers is empty, you can get up to 5-6 flowers per minute.

Fire Totem skill

Fire Part skill

The most complicated skill of all, requires planning ahead, a lot of Adena for various items and unlike the “Source of Fire”, you need to be frequently in front of your PC. This skill requires you to plant 3 “Divine Fires” every 25 minutes, then you need to enhance it and secure it from people trying to steal it.

Simply place the items on the skill bar and use the items from there, as it is easier to find rather than opening your inventory every single time. One thing that I mentioned earlier is that in the area that you plant the “Divine Fires”, you are transformed as a rabbit, while you are transformed you cannot use any skills. After 25 minutes, you receive a notification that the Divine Fire is ready to claim, the item you claim from the whole process is the “Holy Fire” and that item is used to enhance the “Fire Part” skill.

Lastly, for every successful enchant of the “Fire Part”, you also get percentage on the “Source of Fire”, and that is the 3rd way to enhance that specific skill.

How to utilize your time inside Dethrone

While inside Dethrone, you can do 2 things at a time, the one skill that you should be doing always is the Fire Part, so you can either Collect Flowers for “Individual Dethrone Points” and do the “Fire Part” or stay AFK and also do the “Fire Part”, in any case it is virtually impossible to collect Individual Dethrone Points and be in the AFK zone, although one could argue that by doing the “Fire Part” you also gain some percentage in the “Source of Fire” but let me tell you this, its is not fast enough, 1 hour in the AFK zone at level 1, is just above 2% for the “Source of Fire” and 1% per hour at level 2. As with everything in the game it is not a fast process but its “free” progress.

In October of 2021 the Dethrone area was introduced to the world of Lineage 2. A new dimensional area between 2 servers, to be more precise, in the NA servers between Chronos and Naia. It is both a PvP & PvE area, clans/alliances or even clan wars are not transfered over, each server is converted in a huge alliance and both sides compete for the most points.

For every mobs that is killed, there is both server points as well as individual points, the server points are accumulated at the end of every month and the server with the most points is rewarded with Dethrone perks and extra Adena. There is a minimum level requirement of 110 to enter and a lot of gear to be able to kill the mobs or even survive in that area.

On March 2023 with the “Dethrone Fire” update passive skills were introduced that you can level up and further improve your character, gear and levels is a requirement for Dethrone but even with the free gear, you are able to level your Dethrone stats.

---

Here is the full list of the skill enchants and stats per level, there are 10 levels per skills and a total of 5 skills.

The Dethrone stats window as it is shown inside the game.

There is a total of 5 skills that you can upgrade and some require byproducts from other skills or items from the Dethrone Store that require Adena, Individual Dethrone Points or Enchantment Byproducts, each stat has a fixed amount or enchants which resets on a daily basis.

To better explain this, I will start from the left, the “Fighting Spirit“, it requires 10000 SP and 200.000 Adena per click for a total of 100 clicks per day and one of the byproducts is the “Sealed Source of Fire“, which if you right click, it adds percentage on the “Source of Fire“, the top skill.

Now the “Source of Fire” can be leveled with 3 different ways, first of all, the “Sealed Source of Fire” as mentioned above, the 2nd way is literally standing still in the Fire Zone inside Dethrone, but as you stand there, you lose HP, so its best to go with a healer in group, lastly as you level the “Fire Part”, you also gain a small percentage in the “Source of Fire“

Source of Life on the right, requires 1000 HP and 400 spirit ore per click, for a total of 500 clicks per day. This skill has a byproduct called “Fire Seed” which is required for a few things, one of them is a 14 day collection, that requires 250 “Fire Seed” and rewards you 50 element attack and 50 element defense. But it is also essential for the last 2 skills, the “Fire Totem” and “Fire Part”.

The “Fire Totem” is less complicated, to enchant it, you need 4x Ether and 1x Spirit Soul, for a total of 100 clicks per day, now the downside is that you can only get 120 Ether per day per toon for free and it is not tradable, additionally, you can purchase 50 more from the Adena Shop for 50 million adena. This is a ” It is what it is” situation and for the most part out of the players control.

Lastly the most complicated of all the “Fire Part“, since a “my teleport” location is something that will make your life easier and save you a lot of time running between spots. The “Fire Part” requires to plant 3x Dive fires, every 25 minutes in a specific location, besides planting the Divine Fire, you need to enhance it and then secure it from people trying to steal it. Before you ask, “Yes” , people do try to steal your Divine Fires!!

The process is as follows, first you need to make sure that you have all the required items, 3 items are required, “Divine Fire Summoning Scroll“, “Essence of Flame” ,”Guardian of the Flame“, as you can guess by their names they are used in that very same order, [Plant, Enchance, Secure].

“Essence of Flame” and “Guardian of the Flame” only require Adena to purchase (images from the Dethrone Store).

“Divine Fire Summoning Scroll” on the other hand requires a lot more and that is 1500 Individual Points, 1x Spirited Totem and 2x “Fire Seed” for each scroll from the store.

Once you are in possession of all the items, there is a teleport option called “Fire Base“, then follow the “donut” looking mountain towards the left of your screen and start running downhill until you turn into a rabbit, that is how you know that you are in the right location use the items as mentioned above while you are transformed and after 25 minutes, you will get a notification ( a flame) on the bottom right of your screen to collect the “Divine Fires“. The good thing is that you do not need to go and collect the “Divine Fires“, since there is an option to collect them from the Dethrone stat window.

Once the 25 minutes have passed, there will be an option into each of of the 3 boxes, to collect each “Holy Fire”, the item required to enchant the skill.

Upon reaching 100% on every skill, you get the option to upgrade. All skills require the same item and at the same quantities per level, for example, all lv1 skills require 1000 “Fire Orbs” to level up, as the level of the skill increases, so does the “Fire Orbs” number, each upgrade is a 100% success. For every “Fire Orb” you need 30 Dethrone points and 1.000.000 Adena.

A few important things to keep in mind, Individual and Server points are RESET at the end of every month, purchasing items from the store that require Individual Points, will subtract from your overall points, as your total Individual Points decrease, so is your ranking in the Dethrone leaderboard, lastly you need at least 1000 points to be eligible for rewards.
