World Archive

“The Guardian of the Eastern Seal, tasked with protecting the seal of the World Tree. He is also a time mage, who has stopped time in the East Garden. His time magic appears to function in the form of hypnosis. Impressive as all that might sound, he seems to be the weakest among the four guardians.”

― Chronicler Harper

Von Bon is one of the four main bosses of Root Abyss, working for Damien to restrict the World Tree's power. He can be found by entering the Second Seal Door in the Colossal Root. Von Bon drops the Piece of Time when defeated in Chaos mode, 5 of which can be exchanged for a Level 150 Eagle Eye Top, a part of the Level 150 Root Abyss Set.

Battle Overview

Von Bon can be fought in Normal and Chaos mode. You must be in a party of 1 - 6 players in order to fight him, and each player will have a Death Count of 5. If all players reach 0 lives, then the battle will end and the party will be kicked out of the boss fight. The battle has a time limit of 8 minutes in Normal mode and 10 minutes in Chaos mode (with the timer increasing and decreasing during the battle with his Temporal Cracks).

Upon entering the boss battle, click on the Dimensional Rift in the Temporal Crevasse to summon Von Bon and begin the fight.

The map and the battle are themed around clocks and time, and as such Von Bon uses many time-related abilities. As Von Bon's HP decreases, he will stop using previous patterns and begin using new patterns.

• Temporal Cracks: Von Bon summons cracks in time, which appear as large clocks on the battlefield. If Von Bon stands in one of these, the remaining timer will be altered depending on the color of the clock; white-colored clocks cause the time limit to decrease by 7 seconds every second, and black-colored clocks increase the time limit by 7 seconds every second (but not bypassing the maximum time limit for each mode). Von Bon can recast each clock every 10 seconds, with them lasting 20 seconds at a time, meaning that multiple of each clock can exist on the battlefield at a time. Von Bon will stop using this pattern at 11% HP remaining in Normal mode and 41% HP remaining in Chaos mode.
• Staff Swing: Von Bon will whack players at close range with his staff, dealing regular damage in Normal mode and % HP damage equivalent to (150% HP - Player Defense) × 0.55 in Chaos mode; in Chaos mode, this attack also has the ability to inflict Stun for up to 3 seconds. This attack has a 3 second cooldown. Von Bon will stop using this pattern at 11% HP remaining.
• Staff Orb: Von Bon will shoot an orb projectile from his staff that travels a long distance across the map, which can be jumped over or ducked under. Deals % HP damage equivalent to (120% HP - Player Defense) × 0.55 in Normal mode and 100% HP damage in Chaos mode; in Normal mode, this attack also has the ability to inflict Stun for up to 2 seconds. This attack has an 8 second cooldown in Normal mode and a 6 second cooldown in Chaos mode.
• Teleport (Chaos mode only): Teleports to a random player. Von Bon will stop using this pattern at 11% HP remaining.
• Ground Stomp: Von Bon will occasionally use a quick ground stomp, which can deal 90% HP damage in Normal mode and 100% HP damage in Chaos mode; in Normal mode, this attack also has the ability to inflict Stun for up to 3 seconds. This attack has a distinct sound effect when used, and can be avoided by jumping. Von Bon is invincible while casting this attack. This attack has a 15 second cooldown. Von Bon will begin using this pattern at 71% HP remaining, and will stop using this pattern at 11% HP remaining.
• Shadow Teleport: Von Bon will summon a purple shadow at a random player's current location, and after a few seconds the player will be forcibly teleported to the location of the shadow. Sometimes the player will be inflicted with the Freeze debuff, reducing both movement speed and attack speed for 3 seconds. Von Bon will begin using this pattern at 71% HP remaining, and will stop using this pattern at 11% HP remaining.
• Space-Time Collapse (Chaos mode only): Von Bon will create a shield around himself and float in the area, summoning a portal to another realm and starting a 22-second countdown. You must enter the realm via the special portal and defeat his disembodied spirit to stop this attack. While inside the realm, you will only be able to see the area around your character and you will take 20% HP damage every second. Von Bon's disembodied spirit can use Von Bon's close-range Staff Swing attack, which can inflict Seal for up to 3 seconds. If his spirit is not defeated within the time limit, all players will die instantly. After defeating his spirit, players within the realm will be sent back to the Temporal Crevasse where Von Bon will become groggy for approximately 5 seconds. This attack has a 45 second cooldown. Von Bon will begin using this pattern at 41% HP remaining, and will stop using this pattern at 11% HP remaining.
• Wing Tornado: Starting at 11% HP remaining, Von Bon will begin to teleport to random locations on the map and create tornadoes with his wings for approximately 3 seconds. The tornado will deal continuous damage in short intervals: 30% HP damage in Normal mode and 50% in Chaos mode, and applying Super Knockback to any players that come near. He will repeatedly use this pattern along with the Staff Orb attack until defeated. In Chaos mode, clock-shaped debris will continuously fall down during this phase, similar to Magnus's meteors. The small green clocks deal 30% HP damage, the medium blue clocks deal 50% HP damage, and the large purple clocks deal 100% HP damage.

While Von Bon does not directly give EXP upon defeat, everyone who participates in the battle will receive the same amount. Normal mode will reward 220,000 EXP, and Chaos mode will reward 2,100,000 EXP.
