kMSt ver. 1.2.485 (2) – Giant Boss Hekaton!
The new boss Hekaton which I mentioned a couple of posts ago has finally been released to fight in this minor patch. Hekaton is a giant boss which can have up to 100 Maplers fighting against him, from any world!
Above is a gameplay video (although sort of lacking since it’s a level 101 haha), thanks to Spadow~ I think it looks amazingly fun (and laggy)!
Hekaton is open for all users level 30 or above. All servers will unite to fight him in one map, with up to 100 players!
Hekaton will revive after a certain period of time after being defeated. 5 minutes before his resurrection, an effect and message will be broadcast to all worlds. In addition, an icon will appear on the left side of you screen that will take you to Hekaton’s entrance map.
Hekaton’s weak point is his chest, which is protected by a shield. To damage his chest (to defeat him), you must destroy all other body parts which will cause the shield to disappear! But you can’t kill any body parts until you destroy the core which is located on his body.
So basically, it should be kill the core, then all the body parts, then finally the chest. However, Hekaton is immortal, and his defeated body parts as well as his shields will revive themselves after a certain period of time.
Each of Hekaton’s body parts have their own attacks, but at the same time, the core will be shooting out rocks all around the map! Use the moving platforms and your own skills to avoid them! There’s even special ‘lock-on’ skills that it uses, and you have to move out of the way in time.
To help you fight Hekaton, there will be mounted weapons on the surrounding towers. There are three types that you can access by pressing the ‘sit’ button while nearby.
- Cannon: by aiming at the core and setting the power level, you can deal massive damage to Hekaton’s core
- Harpoon: by aligning the crosshairs correctly, you can seal one of Hekaton’s body parts from attacking for a certain period of time
- Flying Battleship: by boarding and flying around, you can attack Hekaton
These weapons will deal fixed damage and will not rely on your stats.
Hekaton has a special minimap, which actually changes based on what happens in the map! The flags show where are are mounted weapons for you to use.
Based on posts from Insoya, Hekaton does not have damage reflect, but in this map you will not be able to take out a pet (so no pet buffs or auto buffs) and you cannot use potions (how are you supposed to survive…?). You can revive as much as you like. Also, the patch notes have its level as ??? so I’m not sure what that means, haha.
It was just released in the test server so some things might be changed later!
Hekaton also features a ranking, which I assume is how much damage everyone has done. It even shows the world you’re playing from.
After the battle is over, all participating players will receive compensation based on their contributions.
Thanks to 콘파쿠 of Insoya for the in-game pictures above~

First 😀
Can everyone stop with the “FIRST” thing its so annoying, Max please do something
cheated to 3rd
cheated to fourth
he’s first to duck sick.
In the gayest person contest (Seriously though, enough with the fucking first comments…. )
cheated to 4th, suck it john and lana
I plead the fifth
if it bothers you why care. stfu
That makes no sense whatsoever. If something bothers you that’s all the more reason to care… and why should he stfu? hm? because you want dont want to be considerate of other people’s opinions and emotions? Ass.
cheated to 8th?
Is it me, or has Hecaton’s voice actor been used to narrate Maplestory advertisement videos? Like those unlimited promos, and those Red promos. Mapuhstory Unlimited! Mapuhstory RED! Mapuhstory Tempest! things like that!
Nice, That means we have to evade thing like a real platformer game. Does he have Zombify though? If he does not that means Bishop are gonna be very valuable here!
Even if he has zombify, bishops will still help out. Angel Ray’s healing will ignore it, same with the fountain skill. And if zombify is really an issue, they can now Dispell it away and heal teammates normally with the Heal skill. xD
Yeah, to bad nobody actually uses Bishops
How about ThatWasMyKil? The GMS’s Battle Bishop?
To you and the guy above you since when did bishops have to do damage to be played? Lol just because you’re a battle bishop doesn’t mean you’re any better than the bishop who plays the support role. If the bishop doesn’t play the support role PERIOD there’s no reason to have the bishop. Get an AFK battle or support bishop and see if anything ever happens. Its why they’re a support class some just choose to get more damage for either fun or to be an even better supporter.
meh
This looks like immense fun. Will hp and mp recovery skills be allowed?
I’m going to lag to death. The whole of GMS will.
Hecaton will break this game in GMS
FHO SHO MOTHA FUCKAS ~_~
LOL yeah it will xD But it looks like a lot of fun.
LOL i hope Hecaton breaks this game, Maple needs to be destroyed, Ra’s Al Ghul would want to destroy the World of Maple more than the Black Mage.
Imagine the lag….
Imagine the lag
mhm no pots
@_@
Awesome!, This boss looks so funny
Fuck this game
Fuck Hecaton the Michael Bay equivalent Boss monster to Maplestory
Fuck all you high lvled assholes pwning this game. Please die!
No one else gives a fuck to this comment. Waste your time posting this.
And yet you answered, you just gave a fuck, you waste a couple of seconds to reply.
At least some douchefag like yourself paid attention. 🙂
…what does bay have to do with anything?
Can KMS just hurry up and revamp all the cygnus knights, god the stupid wait is killing me
D:<
They need to hurry up with the cygnus revamps, 5th job, and the special cygnus(like mihile)
Mihile isn’t going to get revamped, because it is already a revamped version of a cygnus knight…
The thing I’m trying to figure out here is how much hp is he gonna have….
Thought this was gonna be yet another boss I’d never have a serious chance against, but it sounds like an upgraded Ani type fight, which should be awesome.
Wow, this reminds me so much of Vindictus. o_o
Because of the large Dragon raids!!! 😀
This is Magnus x 50. This is going to be some tough battle lol
Cant use pots? sounds like Demon Avenger would be good there.
Mounted weapons<3
That means I won't be entirely useless if I make it to the map 😀
(as a Beginner)
How much HP does he have? o.o
Probably the best maplestory BGM I’ve ever heard.
how much hp does it have?
Infinite, since it is basically immortal and can revive any body part any time
how do you kill it 0.o
Basing off Max, it seems this boss can actually be “killed”. It is probably just like a thing where you just go in, do a certain amount of damage, come out and receive the reward you deserve for doing that certain damage. The core being the weakest might just have a different Multiplier where you do “x” times more damage than you usually do so you can raise your damage/reward more.
Very interesting but how many days/weeks before it becomes barren… Nexon should really remove a lot of worthless data since no one is going to use it… It is so stupid to have thing if people arent going to use it…
(Insert job name here) solos Hekaton in 19 seconds!!!
Give it a few months. -_-
We will see about that… Although I highly doubt anyone can solo it that fast. Not to mention its one big ass boss, compared to the rest. Just watch the body parts revive, making a solo harder to achieve.
in b4 teh epic lags
the lag is strong in this one
Wonder if my DDR2 grandpa is going to be able to handle this
Night Walker revamp and 5th job when?
lv 30 cute newbies have some kind ”special” damage for them?or there normal noob damage? :3
I am laughing at how hard this boss exactly is…. And Mario? These platforms moving is a new thing =)
But dam, I think Nexon over did the boss. The crap flying all over the place is just too much… No one is going to survive or ever beat this boss…
You guys have no lives and get no pussy, fucking faggots…..NERDS
Apparently you have no education.
gets*- incorrect form
“,” comma splice
“…..” too many periods
maplestory is died. hahehahehahe
Exactly my point, Nobody plays support on Maple, NOBODY.
The great Majority want to be an attacker, Heck even if they have Party Shield,Magic Crash or smokescreen available they wont even use it at the right time.
Nobody plays support on Maple, NOBODY.
THAT IS SO FUCKING TRUE
About 99.0% of all players are selfish, stupid, self-absorbed, attention-whoring, smega spamming high school spoiled brats or ” stupid money wasting college kids” or “unemployed people on welfare” or worthless losers who spend more time on Maple than anything else in his/her miserable pathetic life.
Support roles? Support roles is thusly, PLAYERS ON A 2nd Account on another PC/MAC and spam Bless or HolySymbol or whatever buff whilst hanging on to dear life on a fucking climbing frame.
Most players on Maplestory ARE COMPLETELY FUCKING SELFISH. And yet Nexon is trying every fucking effort to make players PLAY WITH EACH OTHER in PQs and shit.
Well FUCK THAT, SOLOING IS THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY GAMES
Challenge Accepted XD
Maple Nerds there are better games to play like “The Last of Us”
Maplestory is for poor as dirty losers. Stop investing your time into this piece of shit. 🙂
So, Shadow of the Colossus (Or Super Mario Galaxy’s Megaleg) + Touhou = Hekaton?
Seems legit..
…sounds like someone got banhammered. I think max needs to do some housecleaning.
ghass
Cheated to last
