Boss speech

Don't know how many people are aware of this, but a while back Nexon Korea added speech capabilities to bosses. I first saw this in Balrog, but apparently other bosses have been capable of this for quite a while. Looking back, only bosses with HP bars speak, while major bosses such as Pianus, Zakum, Papulatus, Horntail, and Pink Bean do not speak. This also means bosses like Crimson Balrog and Rombot don't have lines. When they speak these, they appear in speech bubbles over the monster, while also appearing in your chat box as yellow font.

Boss speech occurs at different points for different monsters. Some speak when they start losing health (as a challenge of sorts). Others speak when using attacks or skills. A few of them even speak only when certain quests are completed (which I found quite interesting.) All bosses that speak, however, have at least a death speech. A few people expressed interest in seeing these, so I'm gonna try to post them. They are in Korean,

When you say speech, do you actually mean audio speech, or speech like speech bubbles?

bubbles...

bubbles...

WoW bosses get both speech bubbles and audio speech, so it was only natural for me to ask if it's one or the other.

I'll do some now and finish them tomorrow.

and you know nexon is probably too lazy to get VAs >>

Woah, this is epic! Yeah! Too bad superbosses dont have speech bubbles >_>

"I only wanted to eat fresh dew..."

Brings a tear to your eye. How can I ever kill another Mano now!?

Magic attack, 60% probability: 네 간을 내놓아라! 켕!
"Give me your liver! Keung!"

...Give me your liver? o_o?

Death: 여신님을 노하게 하지 말라...
"Do not violate my Goddess..."

That's a bit suggestive. o_o

스키는 재밌어. 참 좋아. 난 스키를 좋아해
"It hurts... Stop... You're hurting me."

LOL

Some of this is fairly entertaining. xD

"Do not violate my Goddess..."

wow. It's much more fun when you consider "violate" awfully resembles the word "RAPE" in spanish.

This death speech strikes me as interesting. It seems that Eliza's clone retains the memories and priorities of the original Eliza, only it's the manifestation of Eliza's rage instead.

I wonder what kind of speeches the CwK Grandmasters would have >_>

Probably something tl;dr that reveals a lot of storyline but screws you over if you stop to read it.

Rellik:
"Thanks for standing still, wanker!"
"Wave goodbye to your head, wanker!"
"God save the Queen!"

Red Nirg:
"Cry some more!"
"Entire team is babies!"
"You - yes, you! You are dead!"

Shalf:
"Say goodbye to your kneecaps, chucklehead."
"I'm gonna headbutt ya! I'm gonna headbutt ya! I'm gonna headbutt ya!"
"Yeah, why don't ya come over and say that to my face, tough guy? Bonk!"

Margana:
"Take it like a man, shorty."
"I told you, don't touch that darn thing!"
"Sentry comin' rite up" (Menhir)

They aren't as interesting as what I had hoped from seeing Balrog's speech. I find it weird that it's pretty much only area bosses that are capable of this. I would have expected PQ bosses as well, but that doesn't seem to be the case. A lot of these make more sense if you understand where the boss is and why/how it's there. I'd imagine that's why many have quests as prerequisites. For example, with Chimera, it lives in the abandoned section between Zenumist and Alcadno labs, in the area where you need the code to enter. It fled there to avoid human contact, and since not many people pass through there, you're kind of invading its space. Chimera knows it's hideous, it just wants to live in peace. Same for Faust, really. The only ones here you could legitimately call evil are King Sage Cat, Old Fox, Leviathan, and maybe Stumpy. All the rest seem to be rather innocent.

I can only imagine what our Nexon would do with this. I can totally see Headless Horseman letting out a final lament, perhaps a thank you for at last releasing him from this monstrous fate he has befallen.

"I only wanted to eat fresh dew..."

Brings a tear to your eye. How can I ever kill another Mano now!?

We are either huge assholes or some of them are lying about their innocence. XD

Probably something tl;dr that reveals a lot of storyline but screws you over if you stop to read it.

This is probably why zakum/PB/etc. don't talk. Though, I think that immobile Pink Bean should talk during his taunts, I imagine it would be rather amusing. xD

Mano
"I only wanted to eat fresh dew..."
Deu
"Today, the sun is shining."
"Ouch~"

Wow I think we are just jerks for killing them, makes me feel bad now



Also:

Old Fox

"Give me your liver! Keung!"

GIVE ME YOUR LIVER

Wow I think we are just jerks for killing them, makes me feel bad now



Also:


GIVE ME YOUR LIVER

Don't feel bad for Dile or King Centipede. I believe what's talking on Dile is the bird on his back, who smacks the alligator on the head with a stick with that skill I mentioned. Think of it as freeing the alligator. xD

As for King centipede, he's just a jerk. XD I hate fighting him.

about the liver thing, I don't really know what it's supposed to be saying, I doubt that's it. I tried to not just take the google message at face value, but split the words up and try to capture a closer meaning. For example, with Eliza it kept saying "My lady" but the word it was using actually had an alternate meaning of "Goddess", which fit better.

Mano, Eliza, and Snowman's are espicially saddening.

Oh I know thats not it, google translator isnt very reliable, I was just laughing at the thought of someone demanding my liver, even if that isnt what they were really saying.

"I only wanted to eat fresh dew..."

this is really..awww..make mapler becm a jerk..lol..now we are the bad guy...

Rellik: "I'll take your kidney!"

Wow I think we are just jerks for killing them, makes me feel bad now

I know right? So much for us being the good guys. There is snowman just minding his own business skiing down the Ice Valley with his “good friend” and then we burst in on the scene and slaughter them!
