How to Kill Chief Bandits at Gobys

[SIZE="3"]




Introduction[/SIZE]
I've received many a question on how to exactly kill a Chief Bandit at Gobys... In this guide I will hopefully train you to become an expert at killing these annoying little critters. This is a really handy skill when an annoying Chief Bandit is in your Goby channel and you want them gone!

[SIZE="3"]
Information you must know before you start your expedition [/SIZE]
If you don't know what a "Gobys" is, I suggest you quit Maplestory. But just in case you don't feel like quitting, I'll tell you.

Gobys is a short form of a map called Deep Sea Gorge II. Obviously, It's found in Aqua Road. The map is often referred to as "Gobys", or "Gobay", or even, "Fucking annoying fish that Archers have to train on for ~30+ levels", because there is a monster that spawns here called Goby...! To get to the sacred chalice of EXP known as a Goby, you must break open a 'Bombing Fish House' which will release 6 Gobys upon death of the House.

Here is the Map layout of 'Deep Sea Gorge II' in Aqua Road.


Now, before you get all exited... You MUST be aware that there are some powerful monsters down there; some monsters you may not be able to kill... (Lookin' at your F/Ps). Here are the monsters that spawn on the map.

[SIZE="3"]Prerequisites[/SIZE]
To be one of the TOP and most ELITE Chief Bandit killers in Mardia you must have some skills. These skills will aid you in your ever-lasting battle again the CHIEF BANDIT. Here are the needed skills/prerequisites.

- Being a type of character that has ranged attacks.
Sorry, Melee people. In this type of business you're basically fucked. You'll be standing around so long trying to get the House to Def. up. So long that the CB can just simply, loot his money and swim away. I'm not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE to do it without ranged attacks, it's just a lot harder.


- Having over 2.2k HP.
If you do not have OVER 2.2k HP you will most-likely die while trying to kill. If you are a pro, then you can get away without having 2k HP; but there is a HUGE chance of yourself falling victim to your own attack.

- The ability to Jump shoot in Aqua Road
If you can't do this you obviously have Down Syndrome or you are just not right for this game!

- The skill called Puppet
An Archer skill that is extremely helpful whilst conducting this dangerous mission. It is optional as I have made quite the number of kills without it, but it is quite the big help when dealing with these tricky mother fuckers.


[SIZE="3"]Before you embark![/SIZE]
Before you embark on your everlasting journey etc etc, you must learn the Goby map. You must memorize every crack of this map. You must spend COUNTLESS hours in this map, memorizing the spawn points of players and spawn points of monsters and the houses. Now, before I post my actual guide, I will just assume you all know the map and know what I am talking about when I say the top and bottom etc, and hopefully you'll recognize the points of the map where each SS is taken!


[SIZE="3"]The MAIN tactic.[/SIZE]
Your main tactic in killing those nasty Chief Bandits is to get into range of the house and attack. When you are in range of a house and inflict damage upon it, it will cast a spell. This spell is called Def. up. If it does not cast Def. up it will cast a STRONG spell that deals easily 2.1k damage. If a house has already cast Def. up, it cannot cast it again after the duration of the spell (10 seconds) has been exceeded. If the house cannot cast Def. up, it will cast it's killer Magic Attack that deals massive damage!

First, you must swim into range of the house, which means you have to pretty close to it. You then attack the house; I personally like to use 2-3 arrow rains or strafe. If you have done this correctly the house will cast Def. up and then cast it's spell. If you stick around for a few more seconds it will cast its magic attack.

You want to wait for a CB to start dropping their Mesos before you go in for a kill. You will want them to drop around 3-4 bags. After they have dropped you go in and attack the house. You wait for Def. up, and right when you see the magic attack animation, you want to swim up, or to the sides, outside of the range of the house. If you have done right, the house will unleash it's powerful magic attack upon the Chief Bandit. If he does not have enough HP to survive it, he will drop dead instantly. If he has more than enough, you may want to see below and see the advanced techniques. Remember, you only want to target level 7x to level 8x Chief Bandits. The higher the level the harder to kill and more strategy to kill! I've been known to kill level 9x CBs with this method.


==========================================================


[SIZE="3"]The Battle Plan[/SIZE]
There is quite a few methods to killing these rodents, if I must. I will show you around the map and the different ways to attack the houses. If you are a hermit, you will just have to bear with me because you do not have a AoE attack. Hermits, the pictures below will not help you very much in some situations, but might help a bit in others. I made this guide primarily towards Archers because we are the best fitted for this sport! If you are not an Archer you can just ignore the puppet portions. Puppet it is not necessary in all situations but it helps tremendously as I said above. Remember, everything in this guide must be done FAST. I mean EXTREMELY fast. You have to catch them off guard for this to work in the most efficient way! You also have to be extremely precise, if you pineapple up, it may be your life instead of the Chief Bandit's.

[SIZE="3"]The Top[/SIZE]

 Spoiler

This is probably where I get the most kills out of anywhere else in the whole map. Chief Bandits usually spawn on top of the house that is there and they just begin to drop their mesos, without checking the map (awesome for you~!!). There is two houses than can spawn on this top platform, making it ideal for an AoE attack to hit both houses making a double attack~~~~U#(!@&$#OMG! Use this to your advantage.

When your CB is on the platform, you want to swim upwards FAST. I mean mash your jump key. Now, when you get up to the platform you must keep on jumping, and right after you touch the platform you use your AoE attack hitting both houses and making them Def. up!



After both the houses have Def. up'd successfully you want to cast puppet between both of the houses. This requires a bit of tricky maneuvering. You have to position yourself right on the edge of the platform. From there, face the house and cast puppet like so.

Here are the results of a successful top killing. )o_o)

[SIZE="3"]Second Top Platform[/SIZE]

 Spoiler

Basically the same as the first top platform. You want to swim from under the platform to up on top of it and use an AoE attack on the two houses that can potentially spawn there. Bone Fish can also spawn on this platform along with the houses making it more dangerous. You'd also want to hit the Bone Fish with your attack.



If there is ONLY the house there you will want to swim up and to the right into the House's range. You can use whatever attack you see fit.



For your best friend, your puppet; you'd want to stand on the edge of the platform (doesn't really matter which side of the platform!), and you want to cast puppet into the middle of the fray. Ontop of one of the two houses is fine also.

Here is a successful Second Top Platform killing! @@@@

[SIZE="3"]The Middle section[/SIZE]

 Spoiler

Nothing really special to do in the middle. If your target is dropping mesos on a house, attack it. Make it Def. up. If there are Bone Fish, aggro those up and an attack and lure them to the CB before you attack the house. Something will get him/her either way. The house or the Bone Fish.




Puppet is really simple here, you just want to place is right over the house, or near it so it gets attacked repeatedly, and hopefully the CB will, too.

Successful Middle killing!

[SIZE="3"]The Second Middle Platform[/SIZE]

 Spoiler

There's really only one way to do this part. You HAVE to stand on the platform here, if you are on it, you are in the range of the house. If you are off of it, you are out of range. So, you want to stand on the edge of this platform and attack the house. I prefer to jump shoot towards the platform, and run towards the house, giving the same effect as attacking beside it.



Now, if you are a pro Archer like myself, you will want to do this. You use a mob attack such as inferno, or Iron arrow on the Bone Fish on the platform directly to the right.



Puppet placement is again, simply. Yet extremely effective. After you aggro those Bone Fish you will want to place puppet on the edge of the left platform. While the puppet is placed there, it is in the Bone Fish's range along in the House's range. If the CB moves to the right, he'll get ass fucked by the house or the bone fishes. =^_^=

I have yet to kill anyone on this platform yet, they're dead before they even get over here. ;-;


[SIZE="3"]The Above Bottom Platform[/SIZE]

 Spoiler

Since CBs often spawn down here also, they go for the house in the middle as a prime target because they can blow up the house and the bone fish at once then finish off the Gobys. This is probably one of the easiest platforms to kill a CB on, partially because they will be surrounded on all sides by the House and fish. The way I like to do this is to stand on the small platform on the right of the map. Then I fire a few Inferno's aggroing all the fish and then I move in to make the House Def. up.



For puppet, you have to be fast. You have to retreat to the platform where you were attacking from. From there you cast puppet as close as you can to the House and to the CB, all the fish should attack the puppet and the CB who is on top of the House.

Successful Above Bottom Platform killing!

[SIZE="3"]The Bottom[/SIZE]

 Spoiler

The bottom is a bit tricky and you need a fair bit of dexterity to do this. You want to jump attack and use your AoE attack and hit as many things as possible, whether it be Houses or Bone Fish. You want to jump over and over just so you go in and out of the House's range. It will Def. up, but you will be out of it's range. When you go back into its range, it will try and attack, but you will jump again to go out of its range again. Remember, you are in Aqua, you don't have to touch the ground each time you jump. If you want, you can gather up the bone fish, also. Just personal preference, really.



For puppet, I don't ever use it on the bottom. I just lure the bone fish myself. If you really must use puppet, use it on top of one of the houses.

Pro Bottom killing.
And, again!

[SIZE="3"]Spawn point 1[/SIZE]

 Spoiler

Please refer to 'The Top' section!

Spawn point is right on top of the house here.

[SIZE="3"]Spawn point 2[/SIZE]

 Spoiler

I would not even bother trying to start anything if the CB is here. Unreachable by any magic attacks. Using just Gobys isn't really effective since they can use potions faster than the Gobys can deal damage.

[SIZE="3"]Spawn Point 3[/SIZE]

 Spoiler

Here a spawn point I like. =^_^=



To kill a CB when he spawns here, you aggro all the bone fish on the platform to the left of him/her with a mob skill and then stand right where the CB is trying to spawn. When the bone fish begin to attack you, jump to the right and keep jumping up and down so the fish continue to attack. When the CB finally finishes spawning he'll/she'll have taken around 3000 damage and they will be vanquished!

Successful Spawn point 3 killing, yey.



[SIZE="3"]Advanced Goby Killing![/SIZE]
This is for you guys who are already familiar with the basics. There are a few extra fun things you could to make your Goby killing experience a little bit better.

- After death of the Chief Bandit, you take your trusty pet and command to poop on the rotting corpse of the dead bandit that you once knew. This technique just further humiliates the Chief Bandit that you have murdered him and you have so much respect for him that would let your pet take a dump on his casket.

- Looting his/her Meso Explosion money. If you catch a CB before they are about to explode (walking away from house, coming out of dark sight and casting Meso Guard), you walk up and you spam potions and loot all of his/her money that they dropped to ME. After you looted their money they usually exclaim something rather ridiculous like, "wtp noob u took my mony". Proceed to kill them. Follow up with poop.

- Laughing and taunting. idk. just do it. lolcb.



===========================================================

[SIZE="3"]Conclusion[/SIZE]
By the time you've finished reading this guide, you have probably already thought about going to Gobys and going on a relentless CB killing spree. Nothing is stopping you, do it. Be a bad ass. You all should be blood-thirsty monsters now. Now go, young Mardians! Go to Gobys! Just remember, stay the pineapple out of map, or I will kill you. srs. I am the only person you have to fear.

*continues reading*

Yes, it was a typo. I wrote this at around 4 am, many months ago.

Please find more typos so I can fix them, ok

I didn't see any other typos. :/ Might be spelling errors. As I can't spell, I wouldn't see most of them.

HEY.

It's gobies, Luke. GOBIES.

brb bothering you all day

Edit: LOLTYPOS

[SIZE="3"]

Now, before you get all excited...
(Lookin' at you, F/Ps).

[SIZE="3"]The Top[/SIZE]
There are two houses than can spawn on this top platform...

[SIZE="3"]The Middle section[/SIZE]
Puppet is really simple here, you just want to place it right over the house...

[SIZE="3"]The Second Middle Platform[/SIZE]
Puppet placement is again, simple.
While the puppet is placed there, it is in the Bone Fish's range along with the House's range.

I'm burdened by CB's wayy too much.

ty for the guide dad -.-;;;

I love you luekbby<3
i coem bak to mardia maek BM kthnx ily <3

Makes me want to dress up as a 7x Chief and wait until some archer fucks with me.
I've got a couple of archer friends that do this. :<

Im'a make a cb and go to gobies and your going to kill me.

Second top platform killing is not a CB. It's an i/l.

this reminds meof the good old days where we hadcb killing games back at gobys. good times.

can i link this tut from my archerranks in windia? i think every archer needs to learn the basics of cb hunting

you have my permission to do so, good sir.

actually, you can kill other cbs pretty good as a cb. i found that if i were to just run up to the house they were dropping meso at and start SB'ing they'd usually be dazzled by all the pickpocket coins and not react fast enough to get away.

ROfl! I love this guide. When I trained at the shark map, I 1HKOed the CBs by aggravating the dark sharks to make them dispel the CB. xD
You don't really need puppet to kill someone. Just take note of when the house is using magic attack and spam the jump button.
