The Aion Kumuki Daring Rescue event presents an urgent mission where players must infiltrate enemy territory to save captured Porguses from becoming dinner. Ember and her companions have returned to Atreia seeking Daeva assistance against the Kumuki threat once more.
How to Participate
Begin your rescue operation by locating Gretel the Mischievous in any capital city. This NPC specifically seeks level 46+ Daevas willing to undertake this dangerous infiltration mission. She provides direct transport to the Kumuki Cave via her carriage system.
Upon arrival at the cave entrance, you’ll encounter Hansel the Troublemaker who coordinates the rescue efforts. He provides critical intelligence about the cave layout and enemy positions.
Hansel reveals the Porguses are caged deep within the cavern with only 15 minutes until they become the main course. The mission automatically transforms you into a Shabby Kumuki upon entering, granting access to specialized infiltration abilities. For backup purposes, a Shabby Kumuki Transformation Scroll is available from the Supplies Box near Hansel’s position.
Your infiltration success depends on mastering two specialized abilities designed for stealth operations:
Stink Bomb
This area-of-effect tool temporarily paralyzes groups of Kumukis, creating safe passage through guarded areas. Optimal usage involves targeting clustered patrols near key objectives.
Fear Grenade
This single-target ability causes enemies to flee in terror, effectively removing them from your path temporarily.
Strategic ability usage is essential for navigating the cave while avoiding Kumuki line of sight detection. The environment contains various objects that provide additional disguise opportunities to maintain your cover. However, excessive detection triggers the butcher’s alert system, resulting in immediate Porgus execution before rescue.
Successful navigation requires locating four strategically placed Key Chests containing the individual Porgus cage keys. These containers are typically positioned near high-traffic areas requiring careful approach planning.
Additionally, a single Suspicious Box hidden within the cave complex contains the master key for the Kumuki Crate located at the mission’s conclusion.
Time management becomes critical with the 15-minute countdown. Experienced players recommend mapping the cave route beforehand and prioritizing key collection based on proximity to your entry path.
Common navigation mistakes include rushing through guarded sections without proper ability preparation and overlooking hidden alcoves containing essential items. Advanced players suggest completing practice runs to memorize patrol patterns before attempting perfect rescue operations.
While rescue remains the primary objective, the cave offers additional experience-gaining opportunities through combat encounters.
Three Nutritious Ginseng enemies scattered throughout the complex provide substantial EXP rewards when defeated. These plant-based adversaries require careful engagement timing to avoid compromising your stealth approach.
Ember provides an optional quest targeting these specific enemies. Collect this additional mission objective before entering the cave to maximize your reward potential.
Strategic decision-making is required regarding EXP farming versus stealth preservation. Eliminating standard Kumuki guards provides experience but triggers immediate Porgus execution, making careful target selection essential.
Rewards
Successful Porgus rescues reward players with Poppy’s Gift Bundles, with additional bundles granted for opening the Kumuki Crate.
Each bundle contains variable quantities of Poppy’s Letters alongside other valuable items. These documents contain crucial intelligence about Kumuki weaknesses that Ember desperately needs.
Exchange accumulated Poppy’s Letters, AP, and Spinel Medals with Ember for exclusive event rewards. Bonus Entry Scrolls available through the store enable unlimited mission attempts for dedicated players.
The rescue operation has a limited timeframe from August 8 through August 29. Ember, Gretel, and Hansel will depart Atreia after this three-week period, making timely participation essential.
