If you’re hunting for rare mounts in Aion 2, Hidden Cubes are your best friend. These glowing chests are scattered across the open world and can drop high-tier rewards, including the coveted Fenreer mount. The best part? This is a free-to-play method, no need to spend Kinah or Quna.
How to Find Hidden Cubes Quickly
1. Listen for Audio Cues
Hidden Cubes make a distinct humming sound when you’re near them. Headphones make a huge difference here—you’ll be able to tell which direction the cube is just by listening.
2. Explore Uncharted Areas
Cubes often hide in areas you haven’t explored yet. Focus on fortresses, dense combat zones, and remote regions like Altamia Highland or Scarlet Forest. The more “off the beaten path,” the higher the chance of a cube.
3. Check High Spots
Many cubes sit on cliffs, rooftops, or floating platforms. Use your wings to get a bird’s-eye view, scanning for glowing outlines or unusual terrain features.
4. Use Interactive Maps
Web tools like the Aion 2 Interactive Map track known spawn points for Hidden Cubes and Empyrean Traces. Bookmarking these locations saves time and ensures you don’t miss rare spawns.
Unlocking the Cubes
Keys Are Required
Most cubes, especially the rare red ones, need a Hidden Cube Key to open. You won’t get far without them.
How to Get Keys
The most reliable method is completing Journal Duties (five daily tasks) and certain achievements. Stock up daily so you’re ready when a cube appears.
Yellow Cubes
Sometimes, you’ll spot yellow cubes. These are basic and don’t require a key. They drop low-tier loot but can still give minor pets or consumables.
Mount Rewards & Tips
Random Drops
Opening a Hidden Cube can reward you with a permanent mount or rare pet. It’s random, so persistence pays off.
Rare Examples
The Fenreer mount is one of the most sought-after rewards. High-level players often farm cubes specifically hoping for this one.
Energy Boost
Some cubes allow you to spend extra resources to “boost” the cube’s energy, increasing your chance of better loot. It’s worth it if you’re aiming for rare mounts.
Pro Tips for Fast Farming
- Rotate your farming spots between high-density combat zones and undiscovered areas.
- Track respawn timers; cubes usually reset after a set period.
- Pair cube hunting with other daily activities like Journal Duties to maximize efficiency.
Hidden Cubes are a game-changer for mount collectors in Aion 2. With careful exploration, audio cues, and a stockpile of keys, you can unlock some of the rarest and most visually impressive mounts in the game—without spending a single real-world dollar.
