Part 2



The adventure of a player as he goes through the different levels of
the game is made more exciting and challenging as he does battle with
monsters which abound each and every screen. Killing monsters will give
the player the necessary experience, mesos and items which he may use
during the course of his journey. Each experience gained is
automatically added to the player’s total experience, whereas the mesos
and items are dropped at the location where the monsters are killed and
will have to be picked up by the player. Items dropped by the monsters
upon their deaths are monster leftovers (a piece of the monster), ores,
equipment, quest items and usable drops. Stronger monsters (those on a
higher level) give more experience points when killed and they drop
larger amounts of mesos. They also tend to leave behind more sellable
and usable items.

The
monsters inhabiting the beginner island, Maple Island, are known for
being suited best to characters which belong to levels below 10. In
Victoria Island, monsters are pitted against those players who have
reached levels higher than 10. Stronger monsters can be found in
Ossyria, making it a prime location for high-leveled characters to
train.
Strengths and Weaknesses
All
monsters have a defense rating that is used to counter both the
physical and magical attacks. For instance, a "Sentinel" is
substantially armored compared to other monsters in its level range. It
has a better defense against weapon attacks which then makes it hard
for most characters near its level to launch a sufficient attack.
Magicians, on the other hand, are less adept at killing monsters which
employ magic defense including "Luster Pixies", who enjoy lesser
vulnerability against magical attacks. Other monsters have elemental
strengths and weaknesses that make them, more or less, defenseless
against certain elemental attacks. A case in point is the "Fire Boar",
who is weak against ice-elemental attacks, yet strong against
fire-elemental attacks.
Monster skills
Some
monsters use certain skills on characters for a particular range
attack. These may include: Sealing, which locks the players' skills so
that they will be barred from using them; Darkness, decreases accuracy
of the players; Weakness, which disables the players’ jumping ability;
and Curse, which halves the experience points of the players. There
are, however, ways of countering these. One is by the use of potions
while another is by employing the skills of a priest to dispel these
effects.
Some monsters also have skills to increase or
improve their own attributes or those of the other monsters’ around
them. For example, "Stone Golems" and "Lunar Pixies" can increase their
weapon defense while “Fairies" can temporarily increase the defense of
their fellow monster.
Boss Monsters
Many
boss monsters can be found throughout the MapleStory world. Each is
located in its own respective map and usually at the end of a very long
road or hidden map. Boss monsters spawn less frequently than normal
monsters. A "Mushmom" spawns every forty minutes to 1 hour. Even though
it is the third weakest among the bosses, Mushmom is very much hard to
fight and it is only those players in the level forty and above who
attempt to kill it. Other bosses are the “Jr. Balrog”, which can be
seen at the very end of the Sleepywood Dungeon; “Papulatus”, also known
as the “Clockboss”, can be found at the end of Ludibrium Clock Tower;
The "Rombot", also called "Lombard", is the second weakest of all of
the bosses and spawns once in every hour.
(IMAGE:
MONSTERS>"ZAKUM")"Zakum" is a boss monster found only in a level
fifty and above. It has among its arsenal, the ability to attack with
ice, fire, lightning, HP and MP drainage. It can also attack using
poison-based weapons. Being a boss, it can summon other monsters as
well. It has eight arms, each having a life of its own. As such,
players must kill the arms first before attacking its main body. The
main body has three forms and it increases in difficulty as you kill
each form. Also, each arm is capable of healing all its other parts.
Killing bosses may be more difficult, but the gains are greater. Bosses
usually drop enormous rewards, such as mushmom spores, zakum helmets
and various level 80+ items.
The newest and most
recently added bosses to the Global version of the game, which came
with the release of Omega Sector, are the "Chief Gray", and the
"MT-09".
