let's go on to...
Zakum's Main Body
After all of Zakum's 8 arms have been defeated, the only one that remains is Zakum itself.
Zakum only starts attacking after all its 8 arms have been defeated
statistics
NOTE: Zakum's HP bar shows up when all of Zakum's 8 arms have been defeated.
A different colour is used to represent Zakum's 3 forms
1st form (HP bar: red)
HP: 66,000,000 (60 million)
MP: 30,000
2nd form (HP bar: yellow/yellowish-green)
HP: 88,000,000 (80 million)
MP: 35,000
Final form (HP bar: green)
HP: 110,000,000 (100 million)
MP: 40,000
EXP: 8,750,000
Zakum's attacks can be classified into two kinds:
1) offensive skills
2) defensive skills
offensive skills
1) Apocalypse
Zakum's ultiamte attack!
Effects: Reduces all players' HP and MP to 1!
the spell is very large, so u'll know that the attack is coming
after being hit by this attack, it's best that u use pots to heal yourself
a recommended potion would be the mushroom miso ramen.
2) Molten slab strike
Effects: use flaming slabs to damage multiple maplers
(i)Zakum first casts a red-coloured spell:
(ii)small stone slabs pop out from the ground
they show the points on which the molten stone slabs will fall on
(iii)then the molten stone slabs will come down on the maplers, dealing 2500++ damage
3) Mega Thunderstorm
Effects: whole map affected, targets multiple maplers
(i)Zakum casts a huge yellowish-green spell
(ii)the lightning strikes! and it deals 1000-2000+ damage
4) Monster summoning
Effect: summons monsters (namely Boogie, Puco, Pachu, Punco, Cuzco, and Opachu)
*zakum can only summon 1 kind of monster at any one time
here's another pic of monster summoning:
Total HP of Zakum's 3 forms: 264,000,000 (264 million!)
Total HP of Zakum's 3 forms+Zakum's 8 hands: 440,000,000 (440 million)! -
defensive skills
1) defensive summoning
(i)Zakum lifts and slams his tombstone once, then it will cast a spell (yellowish-white in colour)
(ii) Zakum lifts and slams the tombstone a second time, his whole body gives off a blinding flash of light
after this, either one of two super-defensive skills will be activated.
the seal representing the skill will appear on Zakum's tombstone.
the two defence skills are:
a) physical damage nullify
Effect: all physical damage dealt to Zakum is reduced to 1
The seal looks like a pole arm and spear crossing over one another
***note that some other strong monsters can also use this skill (exploding goby house, doom flounder)
*Suggestions:
->Rangers and Snipers should use their Fire Shot and Ice Shot respectively, as they deal magic damage
->White Knights can use their Elemental Charges to their advantage
->All mages except Priests (those healing) do full-scale attack
->other jobs should focus on Zakums' monsters
b)magical damage nullify
Effect: all magical damage dealt to Zakum is reduced to 1!
mages are advised to stop attacking Zakum and concentrate on the summoned monsters
the other jobs shld focus their attacks on Zakum.
2) Heal
Effect: Zakum heals himself and his summoned monsters for 30,000++ HP.
This spell is the largest i've seen so far o.o
now we plan a strategy to defeat Zakum...
Zakum Strategy Guide
*if u realli want to defeat Zakum, u must plan first!!!
1) get the Eye of Zakum ready "-_-
2) get a party of 6 (more parties if u wan)(get pple from all kinds of jobs)
3) charge through the Door to Zakum!
4) inside, get ur support skills ready (magic guard, bless, holy symbol etc)
5) throw out the Eye of Zakum in the center of the altar, and get away from there. In just a few seconds, Zakum will be summoned!
6) ATTACK! (recommended way of killing Zakum, up to u to decide how u shld destroy Zakum
a) destroy Zakum Arm 6 aka Healing Arm
b) destroy Zakum Arm 5, then 3&4, 1&2, and finally 7&8
c) after this, deal as much damage as u can on Zakum!
(i) dun use multi-target skills; use single-target skills, most single-target skills deal more damage
besides, there's only 1 target left: Zakum. use multi-target skills only when Zakum summons
monsters.
(ii) mages: if your HP and MP have turned into 1 due to Zakum, quickly use a Ramen, or u'll die!
(same for priests, since they can't heal themselves if their Mp is 1 )
for other jobs: heal your HP first, then ur MP, or use Ramen too if u managed to get them.
Lastly, good luck! :p -

zakum jump quest quite hard...or rather i dont have the patience to sit there doing it over and over again. so who has completed?

Me!Originally posted by Gasfene:zakum jump quest quite hard...or rather i dont have the patience to sit there doing it over and over again. so who has completed?
lvl1 quest is party quest... hunt for keys
lvl2 is the ultimate jump quest - many will give up here
lvl3 easiest - hunt 30 gold teeth
once you finish all you get the permission to go into the boss map, and 5 eyes of fire. I think as long as you still have the eye, you don't have to redo these quests anymore - doing lvl1 and lvl2 quests consumes lotsa pots for non clerics/priests -
wa well done!Originally posted by yeowenqi:Me!

So if never complete jump quest, cannot fight/play with zakum? Everybody in the party must have completed zakum quest to fight? -
zakum boss quest is not party quest. this means that players go in one by one. you can go in alone. but for certain obvious purpose people party.Originally posted by Gasfene:wa well done!

i went in once just minutes ago. and got lagged out. but got three screenshots, and fortunately, i didn't die in spite of the terrible lag.
These two photos are after-lag photos. there are more effects here because of the lag
this photo - non-lag photo. i got this photo just a few moments before i lagged out

can hit i think if accuracy equation is correct.Originally posted by stellazio:i think u can go fight zakum but u will never be able to hit it.
(55+2*level difference)*zakum's avoid/15
zakum's avoid is 16 only.
Even a lv100 warrior with 144 accuracy can 100% hit it. I am sure other class no problem if warriors no miss.this is what jaymie said...
So means everyone has to do the jump quest once in order to suicide there...wa sian ah

why once? as long as you have the eye you can go in.... coz one map only need one eye and that eye doesn't has to be from our inventory. maybe someone is kind enough to donate his/hersOriginally posted by shinta:this is what jaymie said...

dn think anyone that kind to donateOriginally posted by yeowenqi:why once? as long as you have the eye you can go in.... coz one map only need one eye and that eye doesn't has to be from our inventory. maybe someone is kind enough to donate his/hers
there's a limit to hw many times 1 can go in -
if nobody donate means no zakum. one ppl have to "donate" his/her eye and drop it on the altar for zakum to spawn.Originally posted by shinta:dn think anyone that kind to donate
there's a limit to hw many times 1 can go in
what i mean to say is, as long as the "donor" is not you, the eye is in your inventory even after the fight, and you can still go in next time -
