Aion 2: Every Fafnite Deposit Empyrean Trace and Spider Cave Location

Fafnite Deposit is a mining area in the Altgard region of Aion 2, and it crams 16 Empyrean Traces plus one Sealed Dungeon into a compact stretch of coastline, open quarry, and clifftop. The traces feed your Altgard Monolith, and the dungeon, Spider Cave, pays out a one-time completion chest. Everything here is Asmodian-side content.

Quick answer: Collect all 16 Empyrean Trace: Altgard pickups around Fafnite Deposit, resonate them at the Altgard Monolith, then clear Spider Cave east of the deposit by opening its Precious Treasure Chest.

How the Fafnite Deposit traces and dungeon work

Empyrean Traces look like bright pillars striped red and white. Approach one and hold F to interact; the prompt displays “Retrieving” until the trace is recorded. Of the 16 in this area, many are perched on ledges, crane arms, rooftops, or spires, making wings and gliding far more useful than running.

Collecting a trace does not hand you anything on its own. The rewards come from resonating your batch at the Altgard Monolith, which feeds Wisdom Stones, Revelation Amulet Enhance Scrolls, and permanent Monolith levels. Use the in-game map’s Content filter to see which pickups you still need in this area so you do not double back.

Empyrean Trace locations around Fafnite Deposit

Western shoreline and houses (traces 1-5)

Start on the coastline west of the deposit. Trace 1 sits on the rocky shoreline ledges, reached by running up the stepped rocks from the water’s edge.

Trace 2 is just south of Mahonak River. Glide down from the higher ground into a cluster of blue crystals on the coast, where the interact prompt appears right beside the formation.

Trace 3 is further along the western coastline cliff. Look for a wooden cart and fence, then jump up beside them to reach the trace.

Trace 4 sits on a tall rock pillar out over the sea. Launch from the western rocky outcrop and glide across the water to land on top of it.

Trace 5 is back on land, against the rear exterior wooden wall of a house set among red vegetation, west of the deposit. It is on the ground, so no flight is needed here.

Mining quarry and scaffolding (traces 6-11)

The central quarry holds the densest cluster. Climb the crane mechanism and glide across the crystal spires: trace 6 is on an upper crane arm, and trace 7 is on a nearby crystal ledge.

Fly up to the raised wooden minecart rails over the mining platforms to collect Trace 8. In the eastern upper scaffolds, Trace 9 rests atop a tall spire, while Trace 10 sits on a canopy roof above the circular arena platform; glide over the spires to reach them. Southeast of the quarry, Trace 11 lies on the yellow fabric covering of a mining camp tent.

Northern ridge and southern ravine (traces 12-15)

Trace 12 is on the northern ridge above Fafnite Deposit. Climb the rocky crags to an elevated clifftop ledge where it rests. For traces 13 to 15, head to the southern ravine and road network. Glide between the autumn trees for trace 13, drop into a narrow canyon crevice for trace 14, and land near the large roots for trace 15.

Eastern cliff near Mos’s Lake (trace 16)

The final trace is on the eastern cliff overlooking the water near Mos’s Lake. Glide up to a mountain ledge beside a cave entrance to collect trace 16. That ledge sits close to the Spider Cave entrance, so you can roll straight into the dungeon from here.

Spider Cave Sealed Dungeon location and rewards

Spider Cave is the only Sealed Dungeon in the Fafnite Deposit sector. The entrance is a glowing green vortex in a rocky alcove east of the deposit, near the map’s fog border. It carries a Recommended Level: 40, and it is Asmodian-side content in Altgard. The place is an abandoned Odylium mine overrun by Odyle Spiders, so expect packs of them between you and the loot.

Make sure your gear is ready for a level 40 instance before going in. If the mobs stop your progress, return after upgrading your belt or amulet instead of trying to push through.

Clear the dungeon by reaching and opening the Precious Treasure Chest inside. Completion delivers the following, every time:

Reward	Amount
Kina	15,000
Enhance Stone	1,250
Sealed Wing Featherdown (Bound)	2
Statue Scrap: Night Illusion Wings (Bound)	2
Daevanion Crystal (Bound)	2
Wisdom Stone (Bound)	2
Title: Jackpot!	1

You know the run counted when the “Sealed Dungeon Complete” banner and the Completion Rewards screen appear after you unlock the chest. This is a one-time clear, so once the title and materials land, there is nothing left to farm here. With all 16 traces resonated at the Altgard Monolith and Spider Cave finished, the Fafnite Deposit area is fully cleared.
