Everyone's first boss. It barely moves, so ranged classes can kite it along the floor. Its touch still hits 280 to 380, so carry potions if you're under 25.

Resists every element, so physical attackers do the heavy lifting. It slams the ground: jump just before it lands and the shockwave passes under you. Full run in the KPQ guide.
The money boss. Players report Ilbi Throwing-Stars dropping, which every Thief wants. Fire Wizards hit its weakness. Killing it is also a step in Maya's lv 47 citizenship chain.

Old pre-Big Bang drop tables also list 60% weapon attack scrolls and level 60 to 70 weapons. Not confirmed in Classic yet.
The final boss of Victoria Island. You need about 157 accuracy at level 80 (219 at level 70) to hit it reliably. Mystic Door and Teleport Rock don't work in its room, so walk in stocked up.
The release notes list five field bosses: Mano, Mushmom, Shade, Zombie Mushmom and Jr. Balrog. King Slime is the KPQ boss, and Rotten Mushmom arrives with Forgotten Hollow on Nov 18.
What is the easiest boss in MapleStory Classic?
Mano, the giant snail near Lith Harbor. It's level 20, moves slowly and stays on its floor, so most classes can solo it around level 20.
How long is the boss respawn timer?
Most bosses store a 1-hour timer in the map data, but players report closer to 90 minutes, so plan for 1 to 1.5 hours. Jr. Balrog is about 3 hours. King Slime only appears inside KPQ.
Which boss drops Ilbi Throwing-Stars?
Players have reported Ilbis from Mushmom and Zombie Mushmom. They're one of the most valuable drops for Thieves.
Is Crimson Balrog in MapleStory Classic?
Not at launch. It attacks the boat to Orbis, and Ossyria isn't in Classic yet.
What level should I fight Jr. Balrog?
It's level 80 with 325,400 HP and needs about 157 accuracy at level 80. Bring a strong party at 70 or above, and check your accuracy first.
