MapleStory/Empress Cygnus

Empress Cygnus is a powerful boss in Future Ereve. (Obviously it is fabricated by commander Lucid, Cygnus would not be so cruel)

Getting there

From Leafre, head to Temple of Time by talking to Cobra in the Leafre Station. Head to the right for 2 maps to reach. Enter the Gate to the Future and walk towards the Cygnus' Chamber.

Alternatively, you can use the Boss Queue (requires at least 2 in queue to be teleported for Normal mode)

For easy mode, you must use the boss queue (solo teleport) since that is the only way to enter easy mode.

• Level 140 or higher
• Enter using Boss Queue (solo teleportation to the entrance map is provided)
• Clearance Limit: 1 time per week (shared with Normal Mode, resets on Thursday 12am)
