Dungeon

Dungeons are described as chained instances. Dungeons are reset by exiting and re-entering them; however, while a party remains within a dungeon, there is some degree of persistence between its zones. Though dungeons were not released before Eye of the North, there are some areas (mostly Elite Missions) in previous campaigns that behave in similar ways. Exploring each dungeon does not count towards Exploration percentage nor Eye of the North Mastery Points. However, completing dungeons in Eye of the North for the first time can result in other rewards. Dungeons can be attempted and completed as many times as you wish for additional bonuses. Each dungeon in Eye of the North has a chest reward and completing it adds to your Master Dungeon Guide. Getting the end chests in dungeons does not count towards the Treasure Hunter title, but unlocking the Locked Chests does count towards the title.

Trivia

 * Several of the Eye of the North Dungeons have some elements resembling the Legend of Zelda series dungeons or underworlds. Examples include (but not limited to): finding secret passages, blowing up walls with bombs (or in this case, a Powder Keg), various traps, the Oozes (like gels), the bats (blood drinkers), using keys to open locked doors (including boss keys), the treasure chests (including the big ones), finding the maps with the skull marked as the boss, and using the skill Light of Deldrimor similarly to playing the ocarina/whistle to reveal secrets and weaken some enemies.
