MapleStory/Dimension Invasion

Dimension Invasion is a PQ that requires 1 to 6 players, available to levels 140 and up. In this PQ, the objective is to prevent Hilla's troops from taking over Heliseum, but don't expect Magnus to sit back and watch.


 * When you start this party quest, you will be warped to the Interdimensional Battlefield, which is where the first five stages will occur. The main objective is to kill the monsters as fast as you can, because if too many monsters are in the map at once, the bar under the timer will increase too much, leading to failure of the PQ.

Stage 1
The first wave of this PQ will consist of Pikeman Skeleknights and Vanguard Bloodfangs spawning on the bottom. Seven waves of these will spawn, and the stage will be complete. Note: The Bloodfangs have a lot more health than the Skeleknights.

Stage 2

 * In the second wave of this PQ, Hilla's Large Wooden Horse will spawn and fight. When you attack it, it will retaliate by creating shockwaves in the ground, and knocking you back a good distance. It can also heal itself for about 1,800,000 health, and it can summon Pikeman Skeleknights, which are almost the same as the ones in the previous stage, but have an additional attack. It summons 10 Pikeman Skeleknights each time, and the Wooden Horse will be invincible until all the Skeleknights are defeated.
 * The experience reward in this stage is 1.5066666 times that of the reward for the first stage.

Stage 3

 * In the third wave of this PQ, large crimson Interdimensional Portals will appear in 3 spots, the top left, the bottom middle, and the bottom right. Skeletroopers will randomly spawn from each spot in swarms. This stage can be a problem to low-mobility jobs, since the Skeletroopers spawn faster than before.
 * The experience reward in this stage is 2 times that of the reward for the first stage.

Stage 4

 * Before this stage officially starts, there is a brief intermission where Gargoyle Knights will appear from both sides of the map, dropping green meteors onto the battlefield. These meteors ignore defensive skills, and deal a high percentage of your HP, normally resulting in a 1hko. The best way to avoid these is to climb to the top of either side of the map, and wait until all the meteors have dropped.
 * When the meteors have dropped, the fourth wave will start. This wave consists of Gargoyles and Gargoyle Knights. The difference between the two is that Gargoyle Knights have more HP, and can stun. There are about 30 waves of these monsters.
 * The experience reward in this stage is 2.49333333 times that of the reward for the first stage.

Stage 5
The fifth wave involves destroying the Obelisk Shield. Sounds simple, right? Well, there's a catch: Spearman Skeleknights will spawn continuously during this stage, and cannot be defeated until the Obelisk Shield is destroyed. The Obelisk Shield has the same stats as the Large Wooden Horse, but it does not count as a boss. That means if you possess skills such as Snipe and Brain Scrambler, you can destroy it in one shot. Afterwards, defeat all the Skeleknights to complete this stage. The experience reward is 3 times that of the reward for the first stage. You will also receive a Normal Dimensional Drop, which contains potions, Potential/Enhancement Scrolls, Mystery Mastery Books, 30%/70% Scroll for Gloves for Attack, or one of 4 Dimension Glove Pieces. Afterward comes one of three bonus stages, depending on your completion time.

Bonus Stage: Magnus
This bonus stage is accessible if you take longer than 20 minutes to complete the PQ. In this wave, you just have to defeat hordes of Specter Shieldbearers summoned by Magnus. It mostly serves as bonus EXP. The stage itself gives no experience, but rewards a Psychotic Dimensional Drop, which contains random potions, scrolls, and the Magnus's Pride medal.

Bonus Stage: Hilla vs. Magnus
This bonus stage is accessible if you take between 10 and 20 minutes to complete the PQ (note, not 100% of the time). In this wave, Magnus and Hilla will summon Commander Specters and General Bloodfangs to battle each other. Specters appear on the left, and Bloodfangs appear on the right, and will constantly walk toward each other. They have no attacks, but if they touch each other, they will die, so you must kill them to prevent them from doing so. Since they have a fairly large amount of HP, if you're in a party, it's best to split the kills between members. If you're soloing, take advantage of any freezing/stunning/slowing skills you may have. The stage itself gives no experience, but it rewards a Fearful Dimensional Drop, which contains potions, Shadow Merchant Coins, Necro Weapons, Elite Heliseum gear, and the Bold Indifference medal.

Bonus Stage: Hilla
This bonus stage is accessible if you take less than 10 minutes to complete the PQ. In this wave, Hilla summons a Giant Darkheart for you to defeat. It proves to be quite the formidable opponent, since it has a lot of health (around 1 billion, uncertain). It starts casting Damage Reflect at 90% health, which lasts 15 seconds and has a cooldown of 80 seconds. It starts casting Zombify at 50% health. It also summons 31 mini Blackhearts, which also cast Zombify, at 50% health once, and will become invincible until you defeat them all. At 40% health, it starts healing itself for 99 million health around every 30 seconds. The stage itself gives no experience, but rewards a Necromantic Dimensional Drop, which contains random potions, recipes, Nova gear, High Quality Dimension Glove Pieces, and the Hilla's Dignity medal.

Monsters
Note: Only the base stats are listed here (before the PQ stats get calculated). The monsters here don't go past 180, even though the experience continues to increase past 180.
