In Full Awakening, everyone can see that the instance system is carefully designed into two difficulty levels, which are the classic Normal and Legendary difficulty categories. The Full Awakening BOSS instances also cannot escape such classifications. Under these two major categories, there are further subdivisions into Normal, Hard, Expert, and Hell four levels. Each level not only increases in difficulty but also offers progressively richer rewards. Therefore, everyone should understand these mechanisms if they want to participate in instances.

The game's instance structure is divided into chapters, with each chapter being like an independent story. The climax of each chapter is a fierce battle against the chapter's BOSS. Only by defeating these powerful enemies can players obtain legendary epic equipment. Conquering the Hell level instances under Normal difficulty is far from enough. After successfully clearing the Hell level instances under Normal difficulty, the more challenging Legendary difficulty mode will be unlocked for that stage.
In the more difficult Legendary difficulty mode, the burning flames around the stage icons intuitively indicate the challenge level. Compared to Normal difficulty, the biggest difference in Legendary difficulty is the significant change in monster strength. First, regarding monster levels, under Normal difficulty, such as the Chapter 11 BOSS instance Admiral's Flagship, the Hell difficulty monsters are fixed at level 47, while in Legendary difficulty, the monster levels dynamically adjust based on the player's current level, specifically adding 6 levels to the player's level.

This means that even if your character has reached the maximum level of 50, you will still face enemies as high as level 56. Additionally, monsters in Legendary difficulty possess unique additional attributes, such as the Extremely Strong 4 attribute, which significantly boosts the base abilities of monsters and grants them extra enhancements like 50% increased defense, 40% reduced damage taken, and 170% increased health. This setup is fundamentally different from the previous instance difficulties.
Powerful monsters shimmering with gold and silver can also be seen again in Legendary difficulty, but bosses will be relatively stronger than before. Due to the increased intensity, the rewards have also changed. The Legendary difficulty instances adopt a distinct reward mechanism, no longer directly producing traditional equipment but instead providing mysterious chests as loot. These chests contain valuable gems, offering more resources to enhance the player's equipment system.

It's worth noting that when gems are embedded in weapons or armor, their effects vary depending on the type of equipment. For players seeking ultimate combat power, gems are one of the core elements for enhancing equipment and boosting combat power, especially when the character level approaches its limit and obtaining high-quality equipment becomes relatively difficult. At this point, the role of gems becomes clear—they can compensate for minor differences between equipment. In the early stages of the game, due to rapid leveling up and frequent equipment changes, the long-term benefits of gems are less direct compared to directly acquiring high-level, high-quality equipment.
Therefore, most players may take a wait-and-see attitude towards Legendary difficulty instances, believing that the input-to-output ratio is not high. However, in the later stages, everyone must participate in Legendary difficulty instances. Note that although other stats of the boss have increased, the basic ability effects remain unchanged. The main focus is still on control. You can also use this method to form teams that have previously attempted to clear stages. As long as your characters' strength has improved, you have a good chance of clearing this difficulty level.

That concludes the introduction to Full Awakening BOSS instances. Although Legendary difficulty instances may not be the first choice for most players in the current version, for those who crave challenges, such difficulty levels actually increase the desire to challenge themselves.
