[KMST] Pink Bean - An in-depth look

[Yoorah]

Then you'd think they'd have changed that in the WZ files? I didn't see anything about changing it.

Perhaps this stuff can be undone with an all cure?

Is the boss actually released in-game, or is it only sitting in the data? Even if it is released, don't forget that this is only the first test release. They'll need additional patches to sort out the kinks.

Or maybe Holy Shield will finally have a purpose outside a pre-emptive Dispel.

Even at max level, Holy Shield only covers the party for a small fraction of the time. It will help out (it helps out a lot at HT already), but I doubt that it will be the main solution. >_>

"Attack2 - Skull with Green Glow" Ariant PQ much?

Spoiler

Attack2 - ??? Here's what the WZ files say:

Spoiler

<table><tbody><tr><td>132.level.1.info</td><td>눈돌아가는 해골</td></tr> <tr><td>132.level.1.x</td><td>1</td></tr> <tr><td>132.level.1.time</td><td>15</td></tr> <tr><td>132.level.1.prop</td><td>100</td></tr></tbody></table>

"132.level.1.info 눈돌아가는 해골" translates into "132.level.1.info Skeletal nundolahganeun". Adding a space between the 1st and 2nd characters, "눈 돌아가는 해골", it comes out as "Skeletal eyes back".

Same skull as the one from Ariant PQ, the one that makes your arrow keys opposite. (up=down,down=up,left=right,right=left)

Holding down the Arrow Key to 1 side and hugging the wall just isnt as easy anymore Now you gotta see what's on your character...

"Skill 1 - Expelled from Map"

Spoiler

Interesting, this skill has a "banMessage" associated with it. Here's what it says in Korean - 석상의 힘에 의해 다른 장소로 쫓겨났습니다. It bans you to map 270040000 and that map is called "신전 깊은 곳 : 부서진 회랑". More information in spoiler:

Here's what that map 270040000 looks like:



From there, you should be able to use a return scroll to get out. There's nobody in this room.

If you do use a return scroll, you'll go to map 270000000 which is called 타임로드 : 시간의 신전 and has a map description of "시간의 여신을 모시는 신전이다. 과거와 현재 그리고 미래의 시간이 공존하고 있다." Here's what 270000000 looks like:

There's one NPC in this room. His name is 신전관리인. Here are some of the other things he says:


"여신의 꿈을 방해하지 마십시오."
"이번 달 시간의 미아 명단을 볼까..."
"일반 참배객은 받지 않습니다."
"여신은 눈뜨지 않습니다. 태어난 그 순간부터 지금까지, 그리고 앞으로도 영원히 그녀는 잠들어 있습니다. 어쩌면 우리의 삶은 그녀가 꾸는 꿈일지도 모르죠."

There's one NPC in this room. His name is the temple caretaker. Here are some of the other things he says:


"Do not disturb the dreams of a goddess."
"This month we have here a list of Mia ..."
"General chambaegaek are not acceptable."
"Nuntteuji goddess is not born from that moment until now, and she will forever be asleep. Dreaming maybe she is perhaps our lives."

Don't think I see anything about how to get back into the boss map. Possibly talking to "Temple Caretaker" NPC can get you back in?

[EngelRod]

That looks really interesting, I wonder if you can get back to the boss map somehow.

[MonkyMagic]

aka Hero's Will. If you read the skill description, it has a master level of 10, and says that it can remove more status effects as you increase its level. But, right now, you can only put one point into it, and it cures Seduce. Perhaps they'll unlock that skill so you could put more points into it and have it able to dispel these new curses as well.

This kinda makes sense because at level 200 you'll have 9 spare points if you've maxed everything else so it would be a way to use up those 9 spare points.

[Fiel]

Ah bugger all. They just released another patch which greatly changes this battle. Hold on, I'm going over the information.

[Shippo the Fox]

Hm. I wonder how many DK and Mages skip those Elemental Resistance skills they have. I also wonder if this boss is going to make those who skipped them wish the never had. XD

[Hazzy]

They just don't like us. xP

Omg I wonder what it is, maybe a new and big badass form for pink been? Well we just have to wait to see what you found, Thanks Fiel!

[ZartMorder]

I highly doubt any of the physical forms will change. It's probably changes to stats/attacks/order of the fight.

[Slip]

Very impressive... Nicely organized!

That boss would take hours and days to kill...
I wonder which version will take it down first.

Meanwhile, we should make our plans of attack.

[ZartMorder]

Okay... Am I the only one concerned by the doubling of the knockback for the mobile Pink Bean?

[Cactuar]

Oh god... PB is now officially unpinnable. That means everyone is going to have a hell of a time doing anything with it.

Uhh... that map is the first one you go to at the beginning of the temple (I think). As in, you're out of the battle.

[Magus]

I can't help but laugh at this point.
I mean, it's gotten so ridiculous that it's legitimately funny.

[Zaotsu]

So uhh....

Does KMST have a damage cap for attacks? I know Pierce breaks it, but does Panic / ME do so as well?

Hmm. Moblie end-game boss with 2.1 Bil HP that does 23k touch damage - ok, pinnable. Adding a 140k KB requirement to that either nullifies Archers completely or means that Shadowers and Smoke screen are absolutely necessary.

[LeonSilvis]

dude... pink bean reminds me of Wigglytuff rather then pikachu...

A team of 6 warriors can take turns using rush on it.

Most DKs at least get lv 10 of ER. I personally made SURE that I got lv 20, because I know I solo a lot, and almost all end-game monsters have an elemental magic attack (it helps a lot at Papulatus, where I only take 1k damage per hit).

-edit- sorry for double post, didn't see that nobody had posted after me when I quoted Shippo.

-edit2- Also, WOW at the serious mini-bean changes.

[Eneko]

lol wow, as ssoon as i saw the boss battle map i was like "Whaaaat" in a very awkward voice i never done before. so suprised i been saying what for like 10minutes.

[Wani]

Keep in mind you cannot rush a monster agroed to someone else.

[Devil]

Only Shadowers can do knockbacks of 100k+ damage, since the first 3 hits of assassinate are counted as 1 attack. So Shadowers' max KB is 300k...

Btw, the longer I think about it, the more I'm sure about it that this boss is a no go area for HP weaky NL's/BM's/MM's... The damage is just too high for them to just survive 1 plain hit... (same goes for 4th job Pirate - Captain's btw...)

[MasPan]

I thought it was a monster that is being kb'd by someone else - I've had no trouble rushing pap when NLs are attacking but not KB'ing it.
