Major Bosses

MS Mob Icon Pianus.pngPianus

Pianus is found at the Cave of Pianus through 'A Grave of a Wrecked Ship' at Aqua Dungeon. Go to a glowing doorway to enter 'A Dangerous Cave', which, at the end, you'll find Pianus, who spawns every 10 hours. If the Right Pianus isn't killed in 10 Hours the Weaker Left Pianus will spawn. MapleSEA recently released this description of Pianus:

"A heavenly fish who had once enjoyed the life of immortality, was banished into the world of MapleStory for eating up his friend simply because he was famished. Thrown into The Cave of Pianus, he is all alone, by himself, and would occasionally project an image of himself to relieve his loneliness."

Pianus can attack with a laser beam and a 10 ton metal block.

MS Mob Icon Papulatus Clock.pngPapulatus

The Papulatus, and related forms, are all located in the last map of Ludibrium's dungeon, The Clock Tower, called "Ludibrium: Deep Inside of Clock Tower". MapleSEA recently released this description of Papulatus:

"Papulatus Clock Boss is an evil monster who hogs the Time Sphere and likes to steal the power in Ludibrium. With him around in the Clock Tower, Ludibrium will never enjoy the peace and harmony they once had."

Papulatus is a monster from the Maple World's parallel dimension. It entered through a crack in the dimension caused by Ludibrium's failing power supply, the Time Sphere, with several other monsters. The Time Sphere is made by mixing Tachions and Mysterious Powder, which is Papulatus' energy source as well. Papulatus contaminates these Tachions, draining the Time Sphere's power. Some of the other monsters that followed Papulatus through the Crack are carrying pieces of it, which are needed to seal the hole. Once the pieces have been acquired from these monsters, namely Gigantic Spirit Viking and Grim Phantom Watch, the crack can be repaired, causing Papulatus' escape route to be blocked and driving it into the open. Once this occurs, players can finally confront the monster that is disturbing the Maple World and end its leeching. However, once Papulatus has been defeated, there is still one last task: Eliminating the evil force that still remains in the contaminated Tachions. The only thing that can destroy such a dark aura is the fires of El Nath's volcanoes, so the Dark Tachions must be taken there. After all this, Ludus Lake will finally be able to return to normal.

Approach Mr. Bouffon at Path of Time in Ludibrium. He will let you know how to get to Papulatus Clock Boss. Papulatus attack with lightning bolts, a blast of flame and by chances turn players HP and MP to 1.

Fake Bosses

As part of an event in Korean MapleStory and Global MapleStory, false bosses were implemented on some maps for a short time. These bosses are significantly weaker and have less HP than their normal counterparts, most doing a mere 1 point of damage to high-leveled characters. They also drop several cakes upon defeat.
