Dungeons are areas in which you attempt to find the boss room and defeat the monsters you encounter on the way. Every new dungeon room that you enter uses 1 Fatigue Point. If you enter with a party, EXP will be multiplied at the end and then split amongst all members.

Defeating the boss in the boss room will automatically finish the dungeon, all other enemies will count as defeated and give EXP.

With the Great Metastasis, monsters now have their HP scaled according to the number of Party members. However, this mostly applies for the new dungeons.

Dungeon Types

There are different types of dungeons in DFO:

• Normal: Your normal dungeons. No entry fees and few gimmicks. Defeat the boss to clear the dungeon.
• Scenario: Dungeons during Epic Quests progression. Has unique map layout and monsters depending on the current progression of the Epic Quest.

• Loop of Circulation: The final dungeon of each dungeon area (with the exception of Mt. Kulun). Requires 8 FP to enter, but does not use any more FP while traversing through the dungeon. There are minor gimmicks in certain rooms depending on the dungeon. Clearing the dungeon for Feat quests will net a special title.

Dungeon Difficulty Settings

Only the Normal difficulty level is initially unlocked when you gain access to a new dungeon. You must first meet certain requirements in order to unlock higher difficulty levels. Once you have unlocked a difficulty, that difficulty is unlocked for all your characters.

	Normal	Normal is the initial difficulty for all dungeons. To gain initial access to a dungeon you must reach the minimum level required, clear a prior dungeon, or accept a certain epic quest.
	Expert	Expert is the second available difficulty and can be unlocked once you clear the dungeon's Normal mode with an A rank or higher. Enemies gain a small boost in hit rate and HP while you have a small drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear more frequently.
	Master	Master is the third available difficulty and can be unlocked once you clear the dungeon's Expert mode without using Life Tokens with an S rank or higher without being attacked more than 20 times. It is only available in Antwer Canyon dungeons and beyond. Enemies have a moderate boost in hit rate and health while you have a moderate drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear more frequently than on Expert.
	King	King is the fourth available difficulty and can be unlocked once you clear the dungeon's Master mode without using Life Tokens with an SSS rank without being attacked more than 10 times. It is only available in Antwer Canyon dungeons and beyond. Enemies have a great boost in hit rate and health while you have a large drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear more frequently than on Master.
	Slayer	Slayer is the fifth available difficulty and can be unlocked once you clear the dungeon's King mode without using Life Tokens with an SSS rank without being attacked more than 5 times. It is only available in Time Gate dungeons and beyond. Enemies have a massive boost in hit rate and health while you have an even larger drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear more frequently than on King. As of Season 7 Act 02, Slayer is now implemented within the Level 110 Normal Dungeons.
-	Hell	Special mode that allows you to fight powerful enemies for the chance to get Epic items. Hell Mode features a room with a pink boss icon somewhere on the map. Once you reach the icon, there will be a locked portal from Hell. Every time you hit it a monster may spawn. Once all the monsters are spawned and eliminated, hit it a few more times and then the Hell Party will spawn. See Hell Mode for more in-depth information.

Heroes Mode

Originally introduced within KDnF's Second Impact Update on Dec. 17th, 2009, Heroes started off a fifth difficulty that not only gave monsters a larger increase in stats and adding new champion variants, but bosses themselves are given brand new attacks during their fights. With the Global Client release of Season 7. Heroes Mode would make it's return now as a seperate entity within the Normal Level 110 dungeons after clearing them on Slayer once per run. A certain amount of Adventurer Fame will be required to enter the Heroes' version with it's own difficulties, as monsters receive a far more substantial stat boost, while carrying over certain traits to further challenge Players.

Rewards

• After the boss is defeated two rows of reward cards that might contain gold and/or equipment will appear. The number of bosses and mini-bosses that were defeated are added up and increase the chance of receiving rare items along with the gold.
  • the player will have three seconds in which to choose one card from each of the two rows (a total of two cards, one regular, one gold).
    • the player can choose to only turn over one normal card or both the normal and gold cards.
  • There is one card in each row that contains nothing regardless of how many enemies are defeated.
    • The first row's cards are free. The second row requires a gold amount that varies depending on the dungeon and is listed on the card.
  • There is a possibility of obtaining rare equipment from the cards that are unavailable elsewhere.
    • See the Dungeon Drop Guide for information about dungeon locations that might drop items in the level range you are interested in.
  • During some events, the middle row may open up, allowing for an additional card to be obtained (up to three max).

Ranks

As of Act V, your rank is now calculated by the Combo Rate. Basically, in order to get a high rank, you or your party needs to constantly keep hitting the enemies to create long combos. The longer the combo, the more the Combo Rate will grow. The higher your total Combo Rate, the better your rank.

End Dungeon Experience Bonus

Players will receive experience at the end of every dungeon. The base experience is the total experience from killing monsters. The experience is then boosted by a set percentage based on several factors:

Rank

Extra EXP is gained depending on your dungeon Rank. A higher Combo Rate increases the Rank.

Party

Gives extra EXP if you are in a Party of 2 or more. Base XP is split evenly among party members. This "bonus" effectively negates the Base XP split of having party members.

Custom Channel

Gives a 5% bonus if you're in the correct channel corresponding to a dungeon. Highlight the Channels to see what dungeons are affected by the bonus EXP.

Guild Express

Gives EXP based on the Stage of the Guild Express. Ranges from 3-10% extra EXP.

Creature

Gives extra EXP for having a Creature equipped.

Region

Gives extra EXP for being in the correct Region. You can see if you get the Regional Bonus if you switch channels and the notice pops up in the chat.

Avatar

Gives extra EXP for having Avatars equipped.

Burning Time & Growth Potion

Gives extra EXP if an Event or Growth Potion is in effect. The EXP gained is dependent on the Event or Potion used. Growth Potions will not stack with events that increase EXP gained.

Returned Hero

Gives a 20% EXP bonus if you Party with a Returned Hero.

Mentorship

Grants extra EXP if characters in the Party are in a Mentorship.

Raids

Raids in Dungeon Fighter Online are usually presented as high-scaled, endgame content that comes in several phases, eventually culminating with Boss fights, and features multiple mechanics. Each Raid implentented has prerequisites to be fulfilled before they can be entered with either a group of players, or solo modes to coordinate with one another within a certain time limit.

These are completely optional to participate and depending on the Raid you're choosing, they offer various rewards such as  Undaunted Determinations, Monster Cards, and Materials required for upgrading your characters' equipment.

Current Raids

	Dungeon Name	Level	Active
	Fiend War	95 - 110	April 2019 - Present
	Prey-Isys Raid	95 - 110	September 2019 - Present
	Sirocco the Intangible Raid	100 - 110	October 2020 - Present
	Ozma of Chaos Raid	100 - 110	October 2021 - Present

Advanced Dungeons

Introduced within July 2022's The Next Journey update, Advanced Dungeons are newer endgame content that allows players to obtain Level 105 Equipment by exchanging Play Points or  Golden Beryls which be used to purchase Admission Tickets depending on it's difficulty, alongside various rewards which can be collected.

Legion Dungeons

Implmented within November 2022's update, Legion Dungeons are content that functions similarly between a Raid and Advanced Dungeon in which either you or a party of four players must defeat a boss in their respective dungeon within a certain time limit. Doing so sucessfully will offer numerous rewards in return.

Obsolete Dungeons

With the beginning of 2018's The Origin and leading up to future patches, dungeon content from either past or present versions of DFO's Global Client that is rendered outdated and no longer required, will be officially phased out in favor of newer content for leveling or gearing purposes.
