Consumed Deus Research Base

Consumed Deus Research Base is an Expedition dungeon announced for the Korean service on 17 June 2026, as part of the Chapter 1 update: "New Expedition dungeons, Citadel of the Fallen Daeva and Consumed Deus Research Base, will be released, along with an Expedition: Ordeal mode that allows players to customize and challenge their own difficulty levels." Its companion, Citadel of the Fallen Daeva, was confirmed delivered on 6 July 2026; this one was not named in that delivery announcement. It has not been announced for the Western release.

This dungeon was announced on 17 June 2026 among the content of the Chapter 1 update (official NCSOFT announcement, same date), which the announcement scheduled for 1 July 2026 — the delivery announcement is dated 6 July 2026, five days later. And a difference worth recording: that delivery announcement names Citadel of the Fallen Daeva and Abyssal Horn Den, with their entry requirements, and does not name Consumed Deus Research Base. This site therefore records it as announced, not as confirmed delivered — which is exactly the distinction most guides collapse.

There is no advanced practice to give, and the reason is the useful information. NCSOFT announced the name and the type on 17 June 2026, and the delivery announcement of 6 July 2026 published entry requirements for its companion dungeon — level 50 and a minimum item level of 3,500 — while saying nothing about this one. This page does not carry that figure across. What applies to Expedition dungeons generally, from the same 6 July announcement: party sizes rose to five players, and entry tickets were removed with rewards moving to Odyle Energy.

Before anything else: this dungeon is not confirmed for the Western release, and there is a second caveat that matters more than usual. It was announced on 17 June 2026 alongside Citadel of the Fallen Daeva; when the update actually shipped on 6 July 2026, NCSOFT named the Citadel and its entry requirements and did not name this one. That does not mean it is absent — it means the published record stops at the announcement. So do not plan around it, and be sceptical of any guide that gives it an entry item level: no source publishes one.
