What Are Strongholds in Aion 2?

Strongholds are one-time open-world clears scattered across each faction's home region. Some translations call them Garrisons. You fight through the enemies holding the site, and the first clear gives a reward package. Each Stronghold counts once per character, so they're a fixed, permanent power boost rather than something to farm.

Stronghold Rewards

  • Noble Belt Enhance Scroll Noble Belt Enhance Scroll: the main reason to do them. Strongholds are the main source of belt upgrades.
  • Kinah About 15,000 Kinah
  • A few Manastones

How Many Strongholds Are There?

The Aion 2 Atlas map currently has 25 Strongholds:

Altgard (Asmodians)

Verteron (Elyos)

See every Stronghold location as a list, with a map link for each one. Counts can change with patches and as players report new sites. The counter on the map always shows the current number for the zone you're viewing.

Tips for Clearing Strongholds

  • Clear Strongholds on your way through each area while leveling. You don't need to wait for max level.
  • Turn on Hide Completed Items on the map after ticking off each clear, so only the Strongholds you still need are left.
  • Combine your route with Hidden Cubes and Sealed Dungeons nearby to cut down on travel.
  • Log in on the map to sync your cleared Strongholds across devices.
