While there’s a whole plethora of dungeons, raids, and PvP content to keep you busy in Lost Ark, defeating the most powerful foes in the game has a certain allure to it.
From Field Bosses like the Chaotic Chuo to Moake, to Guardian Raids like Achates; there’s a whole slew of creatures just waiting to take a chunk out of your hero or heroine – unless you fell them first, of course.
The former, however, are some of Arkesia’s toughest terrors, with Aurion being one of the deadliest enemies players will be pitted against. So, here’s Aurion’s location in Lost Ark, as well as how to beat it and the item level (iLevel) you’ll require to challenge it.

Smilegate RPGLost Ark Aurion: Location & spawn rate
Aurion spawns on the tiny island paradise of Wildwater Island, located at the heart of the Whispering Sea. The quickest way to get there is to set sail from Crescent Moon Marina on Rethramis northwestern coast.
As Aurion is a Field Boss, its spawn rate is relatively low. In order to double check when it spawns next, use your Calendar on the top left of the screen to check when this fearsome elemental will rear its head once more.

How to beat Aurion in Lost Ark
In order to take down Aurion, you’ll need to know what to look out for. A master of all things AoE, its abilities are largely focused on wiping squads in one hit and dragging them down into the depths.
After 15 minutes the boss enters Berserk mode, where he will gain movement speed and attack damage. In order to ensure this happens, you’ll need all of the DPS you can get to take it down quickly.
Below are all of its attacks, what they do, and how to counter them:
| Attack | What it does | Counter |
| AoE Blast | Aurion charges up and unleashes a circular AoE blast around it | Dodge out of the red AoE marker |
| Charge | Aurion charges in a straight line | No marker appears, so you’ll need to keep an eye to see if he gets ready to charge |
| Wave Roll | Aurion summons waves that consume the battlefield | Dodge away from the waves, or cling to the shore to avoid them. You can also block them with shielding abilities from your Bard or Paladin |
| Water Geyser | Random plumes of water will burst out of the ground | There are no markers for these, so unfortunately you’ll just need to try and dodge them |
| Waterball Boomerang | Aurion shoots out a ball of water directly at a player, which then returns to him and continues to deal damage | The first hit is pretty much impossible to dodge, but ensure that you don’t stay in the same place so that it doesn’t hit you on the way back. |
| Crashing Water Ring | Aurion pushes out an AoE energy attack, whose energy is delayed. The attack then pulses for a few seconds. | This engulfs almost the entire island if he’s in the center of it, so try and keep to the shoreline |
Rewards
Aurion’s most important reward is the Wildwater Island Soul, one of the many Island Souls that are up for grabs.
