4000 bosses together: claim the Golden Sphere on Aden and Rune
The second Path to Greatness stage is complete. Find the gift, understand the per-account limit and see which collection items the Golden Sphere replaces.
Published · Updated

4000 boss victories are a shared Aden and Rune goal, not a personal quota. The official Path to Greatness guide explains that achievements from both worlds add up, unlocking a pack when a stage is completed. The second challenge is already complete. Here is where to claim the Golden Sphere without confusing its delivery with the next objective.
This concerns the Russian Lineage 2 Main version on 4game, exclusively the Aden and Rune servers. The event began when they opened on 14 October 2026 and runs until further notice. Rules and public pages were checked on 29 October. These conditions do not apply to Essence, Special, Legacy or other regions.
Shared progress, sequential stages
The first challenge required 5000 characters at level 110 or higher; the second required 4000 victories over bosses in daily instances: Sakura Island, Chaotic Aerial Fortress, Kainak Arena and Canon Cathedral. The daily zones mean the instances explicitly listed in the rules; their bosses counted for stage two. A challenge only starts counting after the previous one is complete: one activity cannot finish the entire chain in advance.

The publisher announced stage two’s completion on 27 October. On 29 October, the promotional site showed 5000/5000 and 4000/4000 for the first two goals. Shared progress sums both worlds’ achievements. You do not personally need to defeat 4000 bosses before opening the shop. Enlarge the labels and values in the full original counter image.
Find the gift and check the account limit
In the Lineage 2 shop, open the second challenge pack: Dungeon Menace. Its public card labels it Gift, lists Aden and Rune and states Available per account: 1. This is an account limit, so do not plan to claim another pack on the other server. Sign in, choose the correct world carefully and check availability. We viewed the page without signing in and did not check personal claim history.

The pack lists Golden Sphere — 1, Ether — 200, Shining Homunculus’s Hourglass — 10, “Homunculus Enhancement Points - 10” — 5, Dye Powder — 50 and Ancient Beora’s Energy — 500. These are the second challenge pack’s contents, different from the first stage’s Rune Stones and relic coupon. See its name, limit and sign-in requirement in the full gift card capture.
Claiming through the shop and receiving items in your inventory are separate steps. The launcher is 4game’s game-launch application; the official guide directs players to obtain the pack through it. The shop’s What to do after purchase tab explains: log in with the intended character → open the Game Assistant menu → select Claim goods from the 4game Shop → select an item and press Receive. Assign each item separately. Inventory means the character’s item bag. General instructions warn that some goods cannot be transferred, so check the description and character before receipt.
One Sphere can replace several required items
The Golden Sphere replaces collection materials in the Worldwide category. Four eligible types are listed: Blood Soul Sphere, Chaos Sphere, Darkness Sphere and Wrath Sphere. A collection is a list of required items in the collection system; the Sphere fills eligible entries. Crucially, one Golden Sphere may replace any number of Spheres within a collection. It is not restricted to one-for-one substitution in that chosen collection.
Before use, open the intended collection and compare its category and required items with that list. The rule does not promise to replace every material across all sections at once. We did not test substitution or consumption in the game client; the purpose was checked against the official guide’s reward table.
The next goal uses different bosses
After Dungeon Menace, the table and promotional site list Boss Hunter: 200 victories over the specified field bosses: Demon Benom, Garp the Avenger, Mad Kulan and Arrogant Laburum. This is the next stage with a different target type. The 27 October announcement uses a different name from the table, so compare the name, number and boss type together. Later stages require 10000 completions of Monster Hunter and Source of Fire quests in Dethrone, then 2000 level-five homunculi: also shared, sequential challenges.
Do not confuse this shared gift with personal progression rewards. A +30 weapon for main class level 115 on these servers belongs to a separate clan mission. The Path to Greatness Golden Sphere neither replaces that mission’s conditions nor rewards a position in the level race.
Your route: Main and Aden/Rune → correct second challenge pack → account and server → shop delivery → character claims items → check collection category. If unavailable, first check sign-in, selected server and whether the limit is already used. The source gives no exact closing date yet. Viewing pages does not test in-client delivery; follow fresh publisher notices if conditions change.
