Soulframe Dungeons: All Locations, Enemies and Loot

Soulframe dungeons are the fastest way to loot, XP and bosses outside the open world, as long as you know where they are and what's waiting inside. Soulframe is still in its Preludes phase and many locations are only documented in scattered community sources. This guide collects the checked dungeons of Midrath: locations, enemies, loot and a few tips that save you detours, as of Preludes 16.

🏰 What are Soulframe dungeons?

Soulframe dungeons are separate, procedurally generated instances you enter through fixed entrances in Midrath's open world. At the entrance you usually meet a wandering soul. Inside, fights, chests and small puzzles alternate, and at the end there's usually a boss or Agari finale your Sparrow guides you to. For experienced players, several Soulframe dungeons also have harder variants with Agari bosses. They're worth it, but only with a fitting build.

📦 New since Preludes 16: rare chests and matchmaking

Preludes 16 "Of Hook and Hound" reworked the chests in Soulframe dungeons. The update has been live since September 18, 2026. Per the official patch notes:

• Puzzles always pay off: a solved puzzle always gives a rare chest, with a chance for a second.
• Dungeons without puzzles: these get more randomly placed rare chests.
• Hidden spots: the chance for a rare chest is higher here.
• Better weapons: weapons from rare chests drop at Military or better, everywhere, not just in dungeons.
• Common Chests: they now favor elixirs that aren't Life Elixirs.

For your runs through Soulframe dungeons that means: don't skip the mirror puzzles in the Undercity or the liquid bridges in the Neath'uns, and search corners. Chests now also hold lures for Soulframe fishing, and rare chests in the Glades of Andurin are where the new sidearm Grimana comes from. Since Hotfix 3 it only drops in Glades dungeons at level 25 and up.

The official Preludes 16 notes list a dungeon source for every lure. Since Hotfix 4 on September 29, 2026, the three rare lures drop from Common Chests instead of Rare Chests (Spindled Bugger previously came from Sap Crates). Enclave vendors sell lures now too. According to the community wiki, Silent Rose sells Scuter, Kith of Kings the Locustax Streamer and Alca's Children the Spindled Bugger, each from rank 3.

The new matchmaking works in Soulframe dungeons too. You start the search in the entrance room and get matched with Envoys for the same dungeon. The game loads you into the host's dungeon, and after the final boss you start over. You need to have finished "Rise, Envoy", and it doesn't work under the Cogah. More on the update is in our Soulframe Preludes 16 overview.

Repeat runs through Soulframe dungeons also earn Epithets, names for legendary weapons: Jotar's Promise for 25 Dermak Undercity runs, Gladen Scythe for 25 in the Glades of Andurin, Arbearer's Roots for 25 in the Neath'uns and Circadian for 10 in the Crypt of the Circade.

🗺️ Dungeon overview: all locations at a glance

The table below sums up the currently documented Soulframe dungeons. Locations and features come from the community wiki on wiki.avakot.org, which lists five dungeons.

🩸 The main dungeons in detail

Dermak Undercity

The Dermak Undercity (often just "Undercity") is your early entry into Soulframe's dungeon system. You run into it during the quest line around the Torment Stag. It dates back to the rule of Fenn Jotar and the Ode'n wars, so you mostly face Sinecure soldiers and Ode casters here.

A hidden room holds a mirror puzzle, and at the end you have to beat a Banneret-style boss just to get out. It's also your first encounter with an Agari world boss. Rewards include Scrap Iron, Pact XP and early loot.

Glades of Andurin

The Glades of Andurin are a once-enchanted forest that the Sinecure have corrupted. The enemy mix is wide: Ode'n troops, Mockeries and other corrupted creatures. The real reason many players go here on purpose is the Arena (called "Endless" until Preludes 12), an optional room with twenty enemy waves and one of the fastest sources of Pact and weapon mastery XP in Soulframe.

According to the community wiki, enemy level rises by 2 per wave up to a maximum of 60. The room doesn't appear in every instance. If you can't find it, re-enter the dungeon. The Glades unlock during the Torment Stag quest line.

Neath'uns

The Neath'uns are a cave system in northeastern Midrath with several entrances, including near the Wevetwood, the Sinklands, Lake Moray and in the Central Forest. Instead of classic jumping sections you have to hit special targets to create liquid bridges, and without that trick you won't get any further. Enemies include corrupted Sproutfolk and Weaver spiders such as the Grandmother Weaver, with the Agari boss Gourdo at the end. You go through this dungeon as part of the quest line "The Waste Bear".

Crypt of the Circade

The Crypt of the Circade is a special case. Instead of an open entrance you need Crypt Keys from enemies, which you use at a sarcophagus before dropping into the depths. Inside you only face ghosts, and the boss The Circade waits at the end.

According to the community wiki, the Triune Talisman and the Pendants come from the Pendant Puzzle, the Circade armor pieces from the Tomb Puzzle. Die in the Crypt and you land back in the overworld and need a new key to get back in. Gossamer Quartz no longer drops here: Hotfix 8 of Preludes 15 removed it from the Crypt.

Rovgot Ruins

Per the community wiki you reach the Rovgot Ruins through a single entrance: the fallen Ode'n Skytower on the southeastern coast of New Viscii. You fight Rovgot Broodlings and Mendicant enemies here before the boss fight against the Rovgot Wyrm. Compared to the Undercity or the Glades, sources on this dungeon are thinner. Enemy types and the boss are confirmed, but exact loot tables aren't documented consistently.

Pegroot Mill, Brackport, Terpeth: part of the Undercity

Older guides list Pegroot Mill, Brackport and Terpeth as separate dungeons that supposedly give a Blazen Plackart Fragment. The Avakot community wiki lists them as sub-locations of the Dermak Undercity (Pegroot Mill, Brackport, Terpeth District). Per Avakot, the Blazen Plackart is now called Fire King's Plackart, and its Fragment comes from the Kith of Kings Votive (rank 3). The Joinery material Palladium that shows up in those old lists is only listed among obsolete Joineries on the wiki.

💡 Tips for running Soulframe dungeons

• Fire King's Plackart (formerly Blazen Plackart): per the community wiki the Fragment comes from the Kith of Kings Votive (rank 3), not from dungeon chests. If you're after it, go there instead of the Undercity.
• Collect Crypt Keys first: the Crypt of the Circade needs keys from enemies outside the dungeon. Don't head out without a stock or you'll be standing at the sarcophagus unable to enter. Every entry uses a key, including after a death in the Crypt.
• Glades first for XP: if you want Pact or weapon mastery, the Arena in the Glades of Andurin beats random grinding in the open world.
• Don't go into the Undercity unprepared: the Banneret-style boss at the end is mandatory to leave the dungeon. Go in with full Life and enough elixirs.
• Mind the Neath'uns puzzle: if you don't hit the right targets, the liquid bridges don't appear and you're stuck. Look for marked objects instead of searching blindly.
