Party Quests are cooperative tasks where a group of people progress through a series of challenges which normally culminates in a boss fight. More specific information on the stages preceding these boss fights can be found on the Party Quests page.
The boss of the Forest of Poison Fog Party Quest in Altair Camp of Elin Forest, for levels 50 and above. Defeating one form will cause the next to appear.
Area Bosses are boss monsters which spawn on their own in a hunting area near a town. They are themed after the monsters they spawn with in that town. These bosses are typically weaker than those found in Party Quests or summoned, however this is not always the case. Most players are capable of soloing an area boss when at they are at the same level with it.
Victoria Island
These are the bosses found on Victoria Island, the first continent where bosses are located. Every main town on Victoria Island now has a boss associated with it, with the exception of Nautilus Port, which currently has no monsters.
Lith Harbor Boss
Found at "The Thicket Around the Beach III" near Lith Harbor. Available in KoreaMS, JapanMS, ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, ThailandMS, MapleSEA and GlobalMS.
Found at "Hidden Street:Someone Else's House", directly accessible from a secret path in the town of Henesys. It is one of the oldest bosses in the game.
Jr. Balrogs are found at the Cursed Sanctuary at the end of the Ant Tunnel Dungeon in Sleepywood. It, too, is one of the oldest bosses. Zombie Mushmom is accessible from a map located off of Ant Tunnel Park called "Grave of Mushmom." It is slightly stronger than the ordinary Mushmom, and is one of the few Undead bosses. Zombie Mushmom is not available in EuropeMS.
Crimson Balrogs sometimes appear on the Ship from Ellinia to Orbis, or vice versa. Crimson Balrog is a flying enemy that travels in pairs and raids ships trying to carry passengers or cargo between Ossyria and Victoria Island.
The Rombot is found in the Eos Tower, in a hidden street off the 8th floor, as well as inside the Ludibrium Party Quest, stage 7. Timer is a new boss, found at Whirlpool of Time in the Clock Tower, which is currently only available in KoreaMS, JapanMS, and ChinaMS.
The three colored King Goblins are located in Korean Folk Town, which is beneath the Helios Tower in Ludibrium and also links to Aqua Road beneath El Nath. They are summoned via special items. Gumiho is the most powerful of the multi-tailed foxes found at the Black Mountain. It spawns in the new map "Moon Hill" of Korean Folk Town. Gumiho is only available in KoreaMS, JapanMS, ChinaMS and ThailandMS.
These bosses are found in Leafre. They drop an item that is crucial to completing the fourth job advancement. Leviathan is an Area Boss that spawns in its own map, the Leviathan's Gorge. Leviathan is only available in KoreaMS, JapanMS, and ChinaMS.

Tae Roon is available in KoreaMS, JapanMS, ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, ThailandMS, MapleSEA and GlobalMS. Master Goblin is available in KoreaMS, JapanMS, ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, MapleSEA, GlobalMS, and ThailandMS.
Spawns at Phantom Forest : Twisted Paths, near the town of Crimsonwood Keep. In a rare exception, both these bosses spawn on a large number of maps throughout the forest, to give the illusion that they are one monster moving throughout at random.
The boss of Mushroom Shrine is, fittingly, the most powerful Mushroom monster in the game, and also one of those with the spawn of 23 to 48 hours. It also has an outrageous avoidability of 64, making it near impossible for low accuracy players to even land a hit.
The Yakuza are the Japanese version of the Mafia. Found in Zipangu's Showa Town. Bodyguard A will transform into Bodyguard B and subsequently into The Boss when killed, and are the most powerful bosses in most versions of MapleStory.
Located at the end of Ulu City in a special area called Ruin of Krexel. It's so huge that the only way to get close enough to attack it is to actually stand on it. It's even bigger than it appears here.
Each player must beat their job's trainer to complete the third job advancement. These can only be accessed by players on the Third job test, through a hidden map accessed by a portal to another dimension.
Zakum, one of the most powerful bosses released in most versions of MapleStory, Is located in the Dead Mines of El Nath, one of the main dungeons. Highly coveted by those above Level 100 for the exclusive Zakum Helmet. In a 4th Job Advancement quest, it tells the story of Zakum's rise.
Zakum was a spirit sealed in a tree deep in the mines of El Nath's volcano. A mining town that once existed nearby eventually discovered this tree. At the time, it had no malevolent notions, but the greed of the miners corrupted it. As the spirit was corrupted, it grew smarter, and finally became capable of controlling the town's populace. It forced them to build an enormous statue in tribute to it. The now evil spirit of Zakum possessed the statue, subjugated all the humans and eventually killed everyone in the town. Zakum now rests deep in the lava caves, waiting for powerful players to challenge his might.
Horned Tail is the most powerful boss in the game for most versions. It drops a powerful necklace called the Horned Tail Necklace, which adds massive amounts to every stat and serves as proof that one has defeated Horntail. Located deep in Leafre, in the Cave of Life. Several Leafre quests reveal what has occurred to bring Horned Tail into battle.
The forest of Leafre is protected by the Nine Spirits dragon, a kind and gentle creature. The Nine Spirits Dragon has set up a barrier which shields the forest from evil. Horned Tail, a power hungry dragon, began to rebel against the Nine Spirits rule, and started uniting the evil dragons. This group of evil dragons began their assault on the town, almost entirely wiping out the Dragon Squad, a team of human fighters sent to defeat Horned Tail. This was a horribly disgraceful action coming from a Dragon. During this battle, Horned Tail gravely injured the old Nine Spirits, and took the egg of the Nine Spirits Dragon. He then hid out deep in the Cave of Life to recover his strength. Horntail's minions still overtook the Dragon Forest in Leafre. His evil power is so great that it has even gained the power to corrupt the other monsters, turning them pitch black. Now, the strongest players must band together to defeat this cruel dragon, save the Nine Spirits Dragon Egg, and protect Leafre once and for all.
As part of an event in Korean MapleStory and Global MapleStory, false bosses were implemented on some maps for a short time. Additionally, in KoreaMS, MapleSEA, ThailandMS and JapanMS, these bosses could be summoned as part of different event involving the collection of fireworks. 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.
