Zone Balder's Refuge

Balder's Temple is a 5-man dungeon that becomes available for entry to players at level 60. A solo version of the instance is also available at level 60.

Balder's Temple is the oldest level 60 endgame dungeon in game, along with Fane of Kaprima. It also gave materials for first level 60 endgame gear Dreamkeeper. Dungeon also had hard mode (removed with Wonderholme patch). Later in level cap 60 times it became a gearing dungeon that dropped basic gear for the level 60 content.

Dungeon was still playable with early level 65 gear (circa 2015). Nowadays if you happen to queue there, geared players run through the dungeon, one-shotting bosses, while newfriends get lost in dungeon labyrinth.

Only reason you'd enter the dungeon are finishing the Balder's Refuge quest line and some achievements. Best way to do those is to solo the dungeon.

Glaciernus in found in Temple Center. Blue forcefield lets you in, but not out. Only after the boss is killed Dimensional Mirror spawns, which moves you to the bridge which leads to Temple Sanctum. Break urns until you release the dimensional mirror, and then enter the Room of Relics.

Balder's Temple used special item called Dampening Shroud. It was traded for Downy Fur from Leshoff or received as a quest reward. This item was used to dry yourself after touching water. Kumas Bosses had special "electrical" attacks that made extra damage if you were wet.

Also destroying the optional Golem Generator gives you special protection buff.

Achievement Stretch Out with Your Feelings requires killing dungeon last boss 10 times. Kumassacre requires killing both Kumas bosses 5 times.

Have a Nice Trip? requires knocking down first boss Kakun. This is hardest achievement to get. You need low level weapon to not kill boss too fast, and hit him with skills that do knockdown. Good luck with that.
