MapleStory/Amorian Challenge

This party quest takes place in Amoria, requires 6 people over the level of 40 who are married, and the party must be made up of both genders (though not necessarily in equal proportions). Bringing the spouse is optional, but recommended. All party members must fit these criteria. This is by far the most difficult party quest, with one of the strongest bosses for a Party Quest. To enter, collect 10 Lip Lock Keys from Indigo Eye or Crystal Boar at Purplewood Forest 1 or 2, and trade them in to Amos for an Entrance Ticket. Be warned, however, that the ticket can be exchanged without a full party, and if this happens then the player will not be able to attempt the Party Quest again until 6 hours have passed.


 * You can obtain a ticket every 6 hours. The time limit starts from when you receive your ticket, not when you enter the quest. Therefore, it is possible to do two PQ's in a row by getting a ticket in advance and using it after the 6 hours, then collecting another 10 keys and getting a new ticket to enter again. This method is beneficial in the newer, less crowded servers where it may be hard to find parties at certain times of day.

Stage 1: Magik Mirror


For the first stage, the party leader needs to talk to Amos, causing 3 portals to appear. The correct portal is randomized each time, so pick one until you get transported to the middle area of the map. There will be signs leading males to the right portal and females to the left portal. Both sides will contain monsters that must be defeated; the left portal will contain Indigo Eyes and Magik Fiarry As, while the right portal will contain Crystal Boars and Magik Fiarry As.

Once all the monsters are defeated, have the party leader talk to The Glimmer Man in the center of the map to summon the last monster, Magik Fierry B, which will fly around the map and drop a Wing Hammer once defeated. Whoever picks up the hammer will need to drop it on the Magik Mirror above the center of the map, causing it shatter and drop a Magik Mirror Shard. Have the party leader deliver it to The Glimmer Man to clear the stage. The party will be rewarded 2,000 EXP, and everyone will need to talk to Amos to advance to the next stage.

Stage 2: Heart Strings


The second stage will have three ropes hanging from a Sun, Star, and Moon in the sky. The correct number of people must cling onto each rope (five total among all three ropes) in order to advance. The three portals on the bottom must be used to reach these ropes (press Up on the portal, then jump and hold the Up arrow to cling onto the corresponding rope). This stage's layout and background changes depending on the time of day, whether it's daytime, evening, or nighttime (based on server time). The party leader will be given a total of 7 attempts, with clues as to how many ropes have the correct number of people on them. If all 7 attempts are used up, a swarm of monsters will be summoned, and the correct combination, as well as those 7 attempts will be reset.

The recommended strategy is to have all five party members start on the left rope and then gradually call out the number of people on each order (i.e. 500 means 5 people will be on the left rope and 0 people on the middle or right ropes, and 104 means 1 person on the left rope, 0 on the middle rope, and 4 people on the right rope). Once the correct combination is found, the party will be rewarded 4,000 EXP and will be able to advance to the next stage.

Stage 3: Twisted Switcher


The third stage will have 9 platforms, of which 5 will be part of the correct combination. The platforms are mixed with letters and numbers, as follows:


 * Top Platforms: A 2 B 3
 * Bottom Platforms: C 6 D 9 5

For each failed guess, a swarm of Crystal Boars and Slimes (one of 4 types) will be summoned. While the Crystal Boars only serve as a disruption, as they can knock certain players off the platforms, the number of Slimes that spawn will indicate the number of correct platforms.

The recommended strategy is to have 4 party members stay on the top of the map and have one person cover all the platforms on the bottom. Once all the Slimes have been counted for each platform, have the rest of the party move to the appropriate Bottom Platforms, and figure out which Top Platforms are correct. Once the correct combination is found, the party will be rewarded 6,000 EXP and will be able to advance to the next stage.

Stage 4: Last Man Standing


The fourth stage will require the party to gather a total of 50 Cupid Code Pieces from the Curse Eyes, Zombie Lupins, and Toy Trojans nearby. The recommended strategy is to have 5 party members gather 10 Pieces each, and give them to the party leader. The party will be rewarded 8,000 EXP and will advance to the next stage.

Stage 5: Fluttering Hearts


The fifth stage will require the entire party to run to the right side of the map, while being swarmed by Bloctopi, Skeledogs, Black Ratz, and flying Wraiths and getting hit by Lava Plumes, all of which deal very little damage. Not far behind are a swarm of Rombots that deal 10,000 damage per hit. While running to the right side, the party must destroy various Gates using normal attacks. At the very end, the entire party must jump onto the elevated platform to reach Amos. Once the entire party makes it to the end, the party will be rewarded 9,000 EXP and will be able to advance to the next stage by talking to Amos.

Stage 6: Love Hurts


At the start of the sixth stage, the party will be on the top left of the map, and Amos will require the entire party to be present in order to start the stage proper.

The party will then fight Geist Balrog, who spawns in 3 phases: a Jr. Balrog form, then a Crimson Balrog form, and finally its Geist Balrog form. Once defeated, it will drop a Geist Fang, which the party leader must give to Amos to advance to the Bonus Stage. This stage will reward 11,000 EXP. If there are 3 males and 3 females in the party, they must talk to Amos to advance to the couples' Bonus Stage. Otherwise, the party will automatically be sent to the normal Bonus Stage.

Stage 7: Amos' Vault for Couples


This stage serves as a Bonus Stage only if there are 3 married couples in the party. If there are 3 males and 3 females in the party that do not consist of 3 married couples, Amos will initially send the party here, but will then send the party to the normal Bonus Stage afterward.

In this stage, 3 married couples are split into teams to see who can obtain 35 Cupid Code Pieces first from monsters that are summoned upon hitting boxes. Each couple will receive 4,000 EXP upon completion, while the couple that finishes first will be granted an opportunity to gain an additional reward. However, only one spouse can obtain the prize, with the other sacrificing their chance (honoring the tale of Elias and Cecelia). The most notable rewards from this stage are as follows:
 * For males
 * Legendary Elias Cape 1 (untradeable, 7 slots)
 * Legendary Elias Cape 2 (untradeable, 7 slots)
 * Legendary Elias Cape 3 (untradeable, 7 slots)
 * For females
 * Cecelia Cloak 1 (untradeable, 7 slots)
 * Cecelia Cloak 2 (untradeable, 7 slots)
 * Cecelia Cloak 3 (untradeable, 7 slots)

The odds of getting a cape are extremely low, and since few parties attempt to do the Couples stage, they are among the rarest items in the game.

Stage 7: Amos' Vault


This stage serves as the normal Bonus Stage. The party has 60 seconds to hit as many boxes as possible, obtaining various rewards, most notably Onyx Apples, Celestial Earrings, Moonstar Earrings, and Cecelia Earrings.
