Aion 2: All Southern Gribade Highland Empyrean Traces and the Place of Rest Dungeon

Southern Gribade Highland is a field zone in the Altgard region of Aion 2, sitting south of Idun’s Lake between the Western and Eastern Gribade Highlands. It holds seven Empyrean Traces to gather and one sealed dungeon, Place of Rest, tucked into a cave along the southern shoreline near Zemurru’s Grave. Traces feed into your amulet upgrades and server-wide stat increases, so clearing the whole zone is worth the detour.

Quick answer: Collect all seven Empyrean Traces scattered around Zemurru’s Grave and Steel Hammer Farm, then enter the Place of Rest cave on the southern beach to clear the Recommended Level 35 dungeon and earn the “Get Out!” title.

All seven Empyrean Trace locations in Southern Gribade Highland

Flight and gliding make this route quick. Most traces sit on cliff edges, rock spires, or raised ledges, so having wings ready saves time between pickups. Each one gives a F Interact prompt when you are close enough to collect it. The order below follows a clean path around the zone.

Take flight to the lone, towering stone pinnacle off the coast by Zemurru’s Grave, then land on the projection above the water. Interact there to collect Empyrean Trace: Altgard.

Empyrean Trace 1/7 — The first trace sits on the offshore rock outcropping above the water near Zemurru's Grave. Shown at 00:16 in Game Guides Channel’s video. Image: NC

Head to the large decorative wooden arch gateway and fly up to its top center. The trace rests at the peak of the structure.

Empyrean Trace 2/7 — The second trace waits at the top of the ornate wooden arch; fly up beside it to grab it. Shown at 00:37 in Game Guides Channel’s video. Image: NC

Southeast of Zemurru’s Grave, find the projecting cliff ledge with the sea below. Sprint along the shelf to the glowing trace at its outer rim.

Empyrean Trace 3/7 — The third trace sits right at the edge of the ocean-facing cliff southeast of Zemurru's Grave. Shown at 00:51 in Game Guides Channel’s video. Image: NC

Travel toward Steel Hammer Farm and look for the wrecked white glider in the open field. The trace is on the ground beside it.

Empyrean Trace 4/7 — The fourth trace lies beside the crashed white glider in the field near Steel Hammer Farm. Shown at 01:07 in Game Guides Channel’s video. Image: NC

From the field, fly up onto the rock pillars that overlook the Steel Hammer Farm campsite. The trace sits on top of the pillars.

Empyrean Trace 5/7 — The fifth trace rests atop the rock pillars overlooking the Steel Hammer camp. Shown at 01:22 in Game Guides Channel’s video. Image: NC

Glide down to the base of the cliff northwest of Steel Hammer Farm, where red grass and water pools gather among autumn leaves. The trace is at the foot of the rock face.

Empyrean Trace 6/7 — The sixth trace glows at the base of the cliff near the water pools and autumn leaves northwest of the farm. Shown at 01:39 in Game Guides Channel’s video. Image: NC

Finish at the encampment with the red banner tents. Glide over the tents and land on the rock ledge above them to collect the final trace.

Place of Rest sealed dungeon: location and entry

Southern Gribade Highland has only one sealed dungeon: Place of Rest. Its entrance is a cave in a beach cove on the shore south of Zemurru’s Grave. The dungeon has a Recommended Level 35, so take a character of at least that level before going inside.

Head down to the shoreline and find the “Place of Rest Entrance” prompt at the cave opening; interact with it to enter. The valley had been a refuge for Daevas fighting the Balaur invasion, but a Dragon Bombardment later made it the place where they were laid to rest.

Place of Rest clear rewards

Finishing the dungeon triggers a “Sealed Dungeon Complete” message and hands over the following items.

Reward	Amount
Enhance Stone	1,200
Kinah (Bound)	15,000
Eremation Crystal (Bound)	1
Wisdom Stone (Bound)	2
Sealed Wing Featherbeam (Bound)	1
Statue Scrap: Night Illusion Wings (Bound)	2

Clearing the dungeon also unlocks the title “Get Out!”, which grants Defense Bonus +10 when equipped.

How to confirm everything is done

Each trace counts up on the on-screen tracker as you collect it, running from 1/7 through 7/7. Once the seventh is in hand, the zone’s trace collection is complete. For the dungeon, the “Sealed Dungeon Complete” banner and the “Title Acquired: Get Out!” message confirm the clear, and the reward items drop into your inventory with their pickup lines in the chat log. With all seven traces and the Place of Rest title secured, Southern Gribade Highland is fully cleared.
