The Crystal Crypt is a dungeon in the Kingdom of Elyssia, located east of the Exile Camp and the Frostspike Nest, just before heading into the Cave to Midnight Mountain. Although it does not have a guardian stone inside, it is considered to be one of the major dungeons in the game. You will put an end to the exiles that occupy the sacred burrows of the Crystalspike Lizards, and with each passing day, enslaves more of the inhabitants to do their bidding.

It is unlocked via Kay's quest line, beginning at All's Fair In Greed and Fashion, where you attempt to barter with Andy to obtain one of the crystal circlets for Kay. You'll investigate Andy's secretive supply chain in East Elyssia Investigations, find a lizard and retrieve crystals for it (from the chests in Galepeak) in Icy Treasures, and establish a line of trust & communication with it (through Akia) from Crystalline Friendship to Spirit Medium. Furthermore, you'll discover what the exiles have been up to, and infiltrate from within between Under Attack! to The Crystal Crypt. After the events of these quests, the entrance to the Crystal Crypt will be open.

The recommended level for the Crystal Crypt is 36 to 39, and adventurers above 39 will be scaled down to that level for the dungeon. It is also recommended that you have at least 3 or more players before starting the dungeon. A typical group set-up will consist of one healer, one tank and one or more damage dealers.

The Crystal Crypt features two modes of difficulty. By default, the dungeon is set to Hard Mode. By helping the Frostbloom Lizard located at the center-left of Upper Fortifications, the difficulty will be set from Hard Mode to Normal Mode. Note that when facing the bosses in the weaker difficulty, the equipment that drops will be much weaker.

In order to gain access to the Inner Sanctuary to face Elder Patrizya, you need two keycards (one from defeating Axrahn Bladeclaw, and one from Myrthe & Kale.

Axrahn Bladeclaw

Axrahn Bladeclaw is the first boss of the Crystal Crypt, located at the Upper Fortifications - Outer Exile Settlement. As you enter the Crystal Crypt, Axrahn can be found at the bottom-left side of the first map. There are plenty of exiles, rogue lizards and spirits as you descend down, so take care of them first.

Axrahn's defending element is Neutral 2, making him heavily vulnerable to Ghost (+50%), as well as weak to Light, Dark, and Poison (all +25%). A Mage is recommended to choose Fire or Water. The minions that Axrahn will spawn are a mix of Neutral, Dark and Earth elements, making Fire a good candidate against multiple types.

In NM, the difference to the fight is that the lizard will assist you in battle as a healer. In HM, the lizard is controlled by the exiles, playing a crucial part in the fight's gimmicks.
