'''Level Range: 60+'''
Kael Drakkel is the Frostbane arena and giant stronghold stage of Velious. Its main scripted systems are the arena announcer, Frostbane boss chain, and several raid-scaled giants.


Kael Drakkel is the Velious arena climb. The zone has two parts: first you farm admission pieces from the roaming Frostbane forces, then Announcer Michael Buffer of Frostbane runs you through the title fights.
== Access ==


== Progression Overview ==
Create [https://shadowedeclipse.com/?a=item&id=664 Key to Kael Drakkel] through the Wakening Lands Wuoshi chain. Right-click the key from inventory to grant the Kael zone flag to the player, or same-IP group/raid members.
# Hunt the roaming Frostbane/Kromrif enemies until you collect '''10 Token of Admission''' drops.
# Kill '''The Evasiveness of Frostbane''' for '''Proof of Skill'''.
# Kill '''#The Defiance of Frostbane''' for '''Bag of Admission'''.
# Combine the 10 Tokens of Admission inside the Bag of Admission to make '''The Price of Admission'''.
# Give '''The Price of Admission''' and '''Proof of Skill''' to '''Announcer Michael Buffer of Frostbane'''.
# Hail Michael and choose '''READY TO RUMBLE''' to begin the arena run.
# Clear the arena waves until '''The Statue of Rallos Zek''' spawns.
# Kill Statue, then clear the path deeper through Kael.
# Kill '''Derakor the Vindicator'''.
# Continue into the arena and defeat '''King Tormax''', '''The Avatar of War''', and finally '''Overseer Hragveld Frostbane'''.


== Important Mechanics ==
== Arena Access ==
* '''Token of Admission''' drops from the roaming Frostbane/Kromrif enemies at 40%.
* '''#The Defiance of Frostbane''' is a rare Frostbane spawn and drops '''Bag of Admission''' at 75%.
* '''The Evasiveness of Frostbane''' shifts around the zone and uses a frequent life-drain style mechanic. It drops '''Proof of Skill''' at 75%.
* After Michael accepts your admission items, he remembers your arena access and lets you start the rumble by hail/saylink.
* The championship belts are not just trophies. Turning belts back in to Michael unlocks rematch options:
** '''Lightweight Championship Belt''' unlocks Statue of Rallos Zek rematch.
** '''Middleweight Championship Belt''' unlocks Derakor the Vindicator rematch.
** '''Heavyweight Championship Belt''' unlocks Overseer Hragveld Frostbane rematch and grants the Heavyweight Champion of Kael title.


== Named Loot ==
