MapleStory/Towns/Aquarium: Difference between revisions

There are hidden streets near the outskirts of Aquarium to take you to the Aqua Dungeon. It is home to some of the strongest monsters in the game, along with [[MapleStory/Towns/Ludibrium|Ludibrium's Clock tower]] and [[MapleStory/Towns/Leafre|Leafre Dungeon]]. The monsters there range from level 80 to 110. At the bottom of Aqua Dungeon is a map where the giant fish boss Pianus is located. Pianus is considered one of the "Big Three" bosses. It is very difficult to defeat, only just behind Zakum. Pianus is not hunted as often, however, because it has inferior drops, as well as attacks capable of killing most archers and thieves in one hit. Also, unlike other bosses such as Crimson Balrog, Papulatus, and Zakum, a player killed in this map loses the full 5-10%, the same as they would anywhere else, as opposed to the usual 1% lost by death to bosses. Pianus's drops are capable of being picked up by anyone in the room, regardless of whether they fought the boss or not, providing another deterrent to prospective drop hunters. Still, in versions with the 4th job advancement it has become a target due to the quest items, skill books, and mastery books it drops.
