Bakonawa Lake
|
- Click Bakonawa Lake at (108,143) inside the Dimensional Library. Level 250+ is required to read it.
- On a first visit the cloaked Taho at (106,143) appears and asks for help with the hunt. This gives the quest First time in Bakonawa Lake.
- The party leader picks Create instance Bakonawa Lake, then every member picks Enter Bakonawa Lake. Entering starts Towards Bakonawa Lake....
- While that cooldown is running the book refuses to open. One
 Voidbreaker Key clears it early.

Taho
|
- The party lands at (64,51) on the lake shore with Taho waiting at (62,52).
- Only the party leader can start it. Picking Let's do it! makes Taho drop Albopal into the water, and Bakonawa surfaces at (78,82).
- Gather the whole party before confirming. The 10 minute clock starts the moment he agrees, and the instance does not pause for anyone still walking.

Bakonawa
|
- The first surface lists 50,000,000 HP and takes 10% damage, so the real bar is 500,000,000. It heals itself and buffs its attack under 30%.
- It fights with Meteor Storm, Dark Breath, Sonic Blow, Critical Wound and Bleeding, and drops nothing.
- Every minute a wave of hidden Bakonawa's Will surfaces at (79,71), (71,72), (60,80), (61,90), (57,99), (89,73), (95,82), (96,90) and (99,99) and bombs the lake with meteors. They cannot be cleared, so dodge and keep hitting Bakonawa.
- At 9 minutes 30 seconds the last wave arrives with a 30 second warning. If the clock reaches 10 minutes Bakonawa dives and Taho offers a retry that restarts from this surface.

Caldron
Enraged Bakonawa
|
- With the first Bakonawa down it sinks and starts swallowing the moon. An Enraged Bakonawa (2321) surfaces at (78,93) while that happens.
- Do not attack it. Taho repeats that the job is noise, not damage, and the enraged form is removed automatically once the instruments are gone.
- Destroy 2 caldrons at (95,98) and (60,98) and 2 gongs at (97,104) and (58,104), all marked on the minimap. Every one of them is mob 2328 with 10 HP in plant mode, so 10 hits each.
- The phase has 5 minutes, counted down minute by minute and then second by second over the last 30. Running out restarts the chain from the first surface.

Bakonawa
|
- When the fourth instrument falls the enraged form is pulled under, and 10 seconds later the final Bakonawa (2322) rises at (78,82).
- It lists 300,000,000 HP but takes only 1% of incoming damage, so the real bar is 30 billion. This is the only form the hunting quest counts.
- It carries Reflect Shield permanently on attack, so melee hits are sent back. Ranged and magic are safer.
- Dragon Fear opens on the chase and lands again at 80% health, and Armor Brake and Weapon Breaker strip gear. Under 30% it heals itself and buffs its attack, so burst the last third.

Bakonawa's Puppet
|
- Bakonawa's Puppet waves rise at (74,74) to (82,74): 10 at 1 minute 42 seconds, then 15, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 on the later marks. Each wave removes the previous one.
- Each puppet has 35,000,000 HP and takes 10% damage, so it is worth 350,000,000. They are optional, the boss never hides behind them.
- The final phase has 10 minutes. Killing the boss ends the instance regardless of how many puppets are still standing.

Bakonawa's Will
|
- Bakonawa's Will has 10,000 HP in plant mode and takes exactly 1 damage per hit, so clearing one costs 10,000 hits. Waves last about 45 seconds and then vanish on their own. Walk out of the meteor marks.
- The same waves keep coming every minute during the first and the final fight, so the party should expect pressure from the sides for the whole run.
- Both real forms are Large, Dragon and Water 4. Wind is the element to bring.
- Neither real form has a damage cap or an invincibility window. The clock is the only thing that can stop the party, which makes skipping the puppets and the wills the correct choice.
- The final form heals itself and buffs its attack under 30%, and it keeps Reflect Shield up on attack. Do not open the last third with a melee burst.
