MapleStory/Towns/El Nath

El Nath is a snowy town that can be accessed via the first floor of Orbis Tower. Past El Nath is the volcano-like Dungeon area, which can only be accessed if one is level 50 or above.

One begins to see El Nath starting at the 5th floor or Orbis Tower or so, where the floor becomes snowy. Upon exiting the first floor, the player's HP immediately begins to decrease by 10 every 5 seconds. This is a unique feature of El Nath. On every map outside of the main city, players lose HP every 5 seconds as a result of the extreme cold. This can be remedied using Red Bean Soups available in the El Nath potion shop.

Due to the snow, travelling around El Nath can be fun, as players slide around. By wearing Snowshoes available in El Nath, players will not slide around but instead walk normally, as in all other towns (except perhaps Aquarium).

Travelling right, players come across the El Nath fields, which include Jr. Yetis, their senior and dark forms, Pepes, and many other monsters. At the top of a certain map, players reach a dead end unless they are level 50 or above. There is a potion seller at this map.

Once inside the level 50 area, players encounter much more difficult monsters such as Werewolves and Lycanthropes. Zombies, a popular training area, can be found here. Deeper within the level 50 area is the Dungeon, featuring some of the most difficult monsters in the game such as Cerebes and Bains. At the end of the Dungeon is the Zakum Party Quest area. After completing the Zakum Party Quest, players may face Zakum, (arguably) the toughest monster in the game.
