Watcher Kaira: 6 spots

Watcher Kaira is a level 65 boss in Lower Reshanta — “Chaotic Lower Reshanta” on the in-game map. On Global servers Kaira spawns every 3 hours, starting at 01:00 server time, and leaves 30 minutes later.

The spot changes every time: one of 6, all with equal odds, so there's no way to know in advance. Check which of your faction's kibelisks shows up most often in the table and wait there — it's close to several spots at once.

Kibelisks unlock once you fly to them. “From the Roots” is the distance from your faction's base if the kibelisk is still locked. Kibelisk positions are marked unverified in the data — double-check in game.

Asmodians and Elyos each have their own kibelisks, hence two columns. A kibelisk unlocks once you fly to it; until then you're flying in from your faction's base at the Latesran Roots, which is the “from the Roots” distance.

Both factions fight over Kaira. Loot goes by contribution ranking, not the last hit, so stick around until the end. In the plugin, hover the Watcher Kaira row and the Abyss map shows every spot with the distance to your nearest kibelisk. Haven't been to the Abyss yet? Here's how to get to the Abyss.

Guardian Lord Nahma

Nahma shows up twice a week, on Fridays and Sundays at 21:00 server time. Three Guardian Lords spawn at once, one at each spot below. At the same moment a level 80 Enraged Guardian Lord Nahma appears in Middle Reshanta — that's a separate fight.

Kibelisks unlock once you fly to them. “From the Roots” is the distance from your faction's base if the kibelisk is still locked. Kibelisk positions are marked unverified in the data — double-check in game.

Executors after the siege

The Artifact Siege starts at 21:00 server time on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Half an hour later, at 21:30, three Executors spawn across Lower Reshanta at once: Argo, Kaira and Tamasa, each at a fixed spot. All three are level 65, so go for whichever is closest to your kibelisk.

Kibelisks unlock once you fly to them. “From the Roots” is the distance from your faction's base if the kibelisk is still locked. Kibelisk positions are marked unverified in the data — double-check in game.

The faction holding the artifacts earns bonus Abyss Points and access to the Abyss Corridor. More on that in the Abyss guide.

Abyss boss drops

Any of them can drop an Artwork. Both Kairas add Balaur's Essence on top, and Nahma adds a Colossus.

Drop rates from allthings.how (bossinfo.json).

Watcher Kaira vs. Executor Kaira

Same name, two different bosses. Here's how to tell them apart:

Argo has the same problem. Argo, the Spirit King stands on Siel's Right Wing on his own and has nothing to do with the siege; Executor Argo is his post-siege event version.

Abyss boss schedule

European servers run on Berlin time, and your browser fills in the “Your time” column for your own time zone. When Europe changes its clocks (last Sunday of March and October), the server-time hours stay the same. The other Global regions use the same hours on their own server clock: New York for NA East, Los Angeles for NA West, São Paulo for South America and Korea time for Asia.

Region Europe. NCSOFT has not published Global event times; if one is off on your server, tell us in the Telegram bot.

In the plugin, all of these sit in the same list as the field bosses of Altgard and Verteron, with the same 10-minute bell. And the Spacetime Rift opens every 3 hours — another steady source of Abyss Points.

At one of 6 spots in Lower Reshanta, picked at random each time. Every spot has the same odds.

How often does Watcher Kaira spawn?

Every 3 hours on Global servers, starting at 01:00 server time, and the boss stays for 30 minutes. Korea and Taiwan run a 4-hour cycle.

Who gets the loot from Abyss bosses?

Rewards follow your contribution ranking, not the last hit, so stay in the fight until the end.
