Baium is the epic boss of the Tower of Insolence. He sleeps as a stone statue on the top floor, the 14th, until someone wakes him. He first appears in Chronicle 11 (Trinity's Might).
After a kill, Baium comes back about 5 days later, always between 22:00 and 23:00 (server time), at a random minute. He then sleeps until someone wakes him. The raid boss list in the Community Board shows the earliest time he can appear.
Waking Baium
Talk to Baium's stone statue to wake him. About 20 seconds later he shouts "How dare you wake me! Now you shall die!", pulls the player who woke him to his side and kills them with Baium's Gift. If a Hero is nearby, he calls them out by name. A few seconds later, five Corrupt Archangels appear.
Baium goes back to sleep
If nobody damages Baium for 30 minutes, he falls asleep again. Everyone in his room is sent to the foot of the tower, the stone statue comes back, and each player needs a new Blooded Fabric to get in again.
If nobody damages him for 5 minutes while he is below 75% HP, he casts Baium Heal on himself, 2,000,000 HP every minute until someone hits him again.
Baium's weaknesses
| Weak to | Effect |
|---|---|
| Magic | His physical defence is more than five times his magic defence. Magic is by far the best way to hurt him. |
| Daggers and bows | Baium takes 25% more damage from dagger and bow attacks. |
Baium has no element. No attribute does more or less damage to him. He is Undead, so undead-only skills can target him, but no skill gives bonus damage against the Undead.
What Baium resists
Baium cannot be stunned at all, and has 90% resistance to sleep, root, paralysis and fear. His Archangels have 90% resistance to stun, sleep, root, paralysis and fear.
How Baium fights
Baium turns on healers more and more as his HP drops, most of all below 50% and 25%. Keep them back and protected.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| Wind of Force | A huge hit on everyone in front of him, out to a long range. |
| Earthquake | Hits everyone standing around him. |
| Striking of Thunderbolt | Magic damage on a group of players, from up to 900 range. |
| Stun | Paralyzes a group of players for 9 seconds, from up to 900 range. |
| General Attack | Hits a group of players around his target. |
| Baium's Gift | Kills the player who woke him. |
| Baium Heal | Heals him for 2,000,000 HP when nobody has damaged him for 5 minutes. |
The Corrupt Archangels
Five Corrupt Archangels (level 83, Angels) appear when Baium wakes. Each has more than 5 million HP, and they attack anyone who comes near. Every so often, some of them turn on Baium and attack him instead of players. They do not come back once killed, and they vanish when Baium dies or falls asleep.

The loot goes to the player who dealt the most damage, and their party.
