In this document, I will be making references to several locations and mobs.

• Throne Room (TR) = The place where you fight Pink Bean
  
• ML or MR = Middle Left or Middle Right (Hawk statues)
  
• FL or FR = Far Left or Far Right (Scholar statues)
  
• Ariel © = The center statue above Pink Bean. I sometimes call it C for center because Ariel is the center statue.
  
• Pink Bean (PB) = Duh, the guy you fight. There are two forms of him that I refer to, PB(W) (Weak) and PB(S) (Strong). I'll go into more detail later.
  

The nature of this battle is not as it seems in many images shown through Insoya so far. Let's have a look at the image that they showed us:

 Spoiler

In the TR, you will face a series of six stages, each with increasing difficulty. Here's the order of battle:

STAGE 1: FL PB(W)
STAGE 2: FL PB(W) FR
STAGE 3: FL ML PB(W) FR
STAGE 4: FL ML PB(W) MR FR
STAGE 5: FL(2) ML(2) C PB(W) MR(2) FR(2)
STAGE 6: PB(S)

The (2)'s in Stage 5 is because they get slight upgrades at this stage. I'll go more over this later.

PB(W) refers to the other form of PB. In this form, you cannot hit him and he cannot hit you. All he does is sit on the throne the entire match, taunts you (hilarious animations too), and buffs up the enemies. PB(S) refers to the form of PB with 2.1B HP and does nasty attacks and has 23k touch damage. After you defeat Stage 5, PB(W) disappears in a puff of smoke and reappears in a flash of light and begins letting all hell break loose on you as PB(S).

So, let's go over this as total HP:

STAGE 1: 300M = 300M HP
STAGE 2: 300M + 300M = 600M HP
STAGE 3: 300M + 450M + 300M = 1.05B
STAGE 4: 300M + 450M + 450M + 300M = 1.5B
STAGE 5: 300M + 450M + 600M + 450M + 300M = 2.1B
STAGE 6: 2.1B = 2.1B

Add all that up...
300M + 600M + 1.05B + 1.5B + 2.1B + 2.1B = 7.65B HP

In the following, I won't be giving out pure animations. There are over 1000 frames to go through and well... I don't have a script to make GIFs like that (if only I did).

After you kill this boss, he does not "die" so to speak. He fizzes out and returns. After he returns, you can't hit him until you've defeated all of the other bosses for that particular stage. On Stage 5, he is slightly different and stronger.

Skill3 -

By looking at all of his attacks, I'm noticing that the ranges seem to only affect the people in front of him. It might be a good idea for warriors to aggro him into a corner and for ranged people to slam him from his back side a la Tengu.

Skill1 - Interesting, this skill has a "banMessage" associated with it. Here's what it says in Korean - 석상의 힘에 의해 다른 장소로 쫓겨났습니다. It bans you to map 270040000 and that map is called "신전 깊은 곳 : 부서진 회랑". More information in spoiler:

 Spoiler

Here's what that map 270040000 looks like:



From there, you should be able to use a return scroll to get out. There's nobody in this room.

If you do use a return scroll, you'll go to map 270000000 which is called 타임로드 : 시간의 신전 and has a map description of "시간의 여신을 모시는 신전이다. 과거와 현재 그리고 미래의 시간이 공존하고 있다." Here's what 270000000 looks like:



There's one NPC in this room. His name is 신전관리인. Here are some of the other things he says:


"여신의 꿈을 방해하지 마십시오."
"이번 달 시간의 미아 명단을 볼까..."
"일반 참배객은 받지 않습니다."
"여신은 눈뜨지 않습니다. 태어난 그 순간부터 지금까지, 그리고 앞으로도 영원히 그녀는 잠들어 있습니다. 어쩌면 우리의 삶은 그녀가 꾸는 꿈일지도 모르죠."
