Gollux

Maplestory seem to crash whenever I try to fight the core of Gollux in the stomach, is anyone else crashing in that map?

I'm crashing as well. It only seems to happen when I don't kill it in 1 hit.

Haven't crashed at gollux while killing it yet. And I def can't kill in one hit any of the pieces.

Only time I crash is when I leave before killing the head, and that happens 50% of the time.

Crashed and got error code 5 at gollux..
Also crashed a lot of times without any error codes...

Apparently if you just rush to his head, he becomes level 190 or something. So strange to see misses as a level 188.

Eyes are higher than level 204 too apparently.

How long does this effect last?

 Spoiler

About 1/3 through the shoulders they go blurry and I can't attack them. It keeps attacking so I'm usually knocked off the map and when I get back it's not a problem, but there's a door right there, so if I can just leave for 30s I'd go for that .

 Spoiler

"Gollux's Shoulder Status: 3"? Is that just telling me how many mobs he has summoned?


Postscript: Gollux is decent exp on non-head clears too - at my level I'm getting 7% on a 15 minute run that kills every other room (trash mobs are 120k or 170k exp each and pretty near 1hkos on my Hero - the actual shoulders/abs don't give exp) The crawly ones also give 10 ambition + 8 willpower, I maxed mine out in a single fight.



I said the other day that during the head fight (on easy) the death count didn't run out.

 Spoiler

On the abs, it can. (p.s. nice DR jerk)

I find the abs have so many attacks that my best option is to just tank the ones that can hit the dead middle instead of trying to avoid. The two successful runs I've had were ones where I entered from the chest and didn't move an inch until it was dead.

So I just attempted hard mode (killed only the abdomen). I managed to get one hit in. Then he started spamming his hand-wave ohko, killing me the very instant I respawned. Lost 5 deaths within 10 seconds. Woooooo....

They REALLY need to fix this. Magnus and other "chaos" bosses are scripted to not have any attacks for a brief moment after you respawn, guess they forgot to do that with gollux. I've had this very same thing happen a few times.

Anyone Try Chaos(Hell) mode go striaght to the head......

Tell me did you able to kill him? if not

Tell me how your exp and how long did u surive and how far did u go b4 you quit


well my first time i go there man... so hard the hand and the head instant kill you the moment you touch it

has a 5 sec seduce that is undispellable

you cant resist any of his abnormal status

he ignore all type of def and hp

the most dmg i deal probably like 20% of his hp solo

I've had at least 8 runs where I got his 2nd stage to half hp.
I would haved killed him but he kept dcing me. Should take me 7 mins to get to 3rd stage if I don't dc.

About how long do your runs on other modes take? Trying to judge your DPS compared to mine. Maybe if you're in map too long, you're prone to DCing so having higher DPS might be a pomegranatety bypass for it.

In other news, beat hard gollux. Got 130 and 140 belt (Pictures in achievement thread)

Btw heaven's door will not save you. At least the "curse counter" bypasses it. Funny cause I was a ghost with heaven's door still buffed on

I killed hard jaw in under 3 minutes yesterday. I don't remember rebuffing so under 3 min sounds right. Forehead died in 2 hits.


I also killed hard jaw on a mule in 15 min without dcing just now so idk.

edit: checked vid, I killed Hell jaw in 2:30 in that vid

So, nexon is lying and different modes giving better equips. Time for hell mode bello group?
totallynotbecauseiwouldntbeabletosolo

I think your evan's dps is higher than my xenon's then.

And hell seems completely beatable solo or party provided DCs don't happen.

...you can avoid getting ohko'ed by staying behind the head?

well in that case *cracks knuckles* time to pineapple pomegranate up!





....after midnight

Not sure if boss with actual strategy or GMS failed to design the unkillable boss of this season.

Once you learn this, it does actually become laughably easy, but it's still an engaging fight. I much prefer this to my previous understanding of it having multiple completely unavoidable ohko attacks.

To be honest, once they fix the EXP loss and the random invisible 1hko attacks that seem to hit you no matter where you are, Gollux could easily become one of my favourite bosses.

Well, the same applies to Root Abyss - they're just harder to actually stay behind. (or nexon can just pineapple pomegranate up and have the animations way wrong lol)

Yeah, watching the video actually reminded me of playing Castlevania Lords of Shadow/Dante's Inferno/Kingdom Hearts/similar games with giant enemies that throw their hand to you, and you gotta dodge just in time.

I'm not complaining, just really doubting it was intended.

inb4 patch with hand appearing right in the middle.
