This act has this really awesome cutscene featuring all six heroes!
Here’s the Final Act! Heroes of Maple was really cool in my opinion. The skeleton animation system made it super fun and allowed them to create a dynamic story. I can’t wait for the next blockbuster!

- Characters level 190 or higher can enter, in a party of 1 to 6 people.

Here’s some screenshots of me fighting Damien. I think he has two other phases after this.
Here’s a short video of some of the attacks he has in his first phase.
Thanks to 스페랑카 on Naver for the animations below!
PHASE 1
Damien’s first phase has ??? HP with 300% PDR. Throughout the fight, his sword will fly across the map, hitting you. It can also lock on to your position and fly straight towards it.
He has three 1HKO attacks: the sword will stick itself into the ground and pulse every few seconds, the smoke markers on the ground that explode after a few seconds, and the fireballs he shoots downwards.
He has one special attack, one that looks like Demon Avenger’s Bloody Imprison. If it hits you, you have to complete a DDR-type minigame where you have to enter all the arrow keys correctly or else you will be binded for a short period of time (during which you cannot move, attack, or use any potions).
In the top right of the screen, you’ll see a UI with 7 crystals, it is used for the Stigma curse. It says “Next stigma will be created in: XX seconds”. Every 30 seconds, a stigma will appear and you’ll see a number above yourself (1/7). If it reaches 7, Damien will become stronger (i.e. enter phase 2).
But you’ll also notice that sometimes, the World Tree’s Altar appears. If you stand on top of it and use the Offering’s Stigma skill without getting hit for a short period of time, you can remove all Stigma stacks on yourself.
PHASE 2
Damien’s second phase has 120,000,000,000 HP with 300% PDR. I haven’t actually fought this yet but it looks super cool! I’m not sure if you can completely bypass this phase if you never let your stigma count reach 7 in phase 1.
PHASE 3 (?)
There’s one more Damien mob in the data, it has 210,000,000 HP with 1000% PDR (which is nuts). So I think this one is just maybe a final death animation or maybe you have to do something specific to kill him in this form.

Oh you’re right, I missed that, thanks!
first?
to suck this dick
*pulls down pants* there’s no dick
So pussy? better than nothing,
So that the content is out, how does Demon take to fighting Damien?
Demon actually does show up at the end of the Damien fight 😉
Is that in the story or just when ever you beat him?
Regardless, what happens?
Demon kills Damien and carries his body away, weeping.
You have a link to that? ^^
I MUST KNOW THIS. now.
I didn’t save a screenshot, and it doesn’t seem like anyone else did, either (at least nobody posted it on the Internet)… I guess you guys’ll have to wait until someone posts a full video of Act 4 online
-stares suspiciously- Cuz I’m a Demon Slayer main much of the time (since Nexon botched DA) and this storyline has me emotionally involved to my pixelated little brother.
Found a screenshot. Beware of feels.

RIP Damien…I loved you for all of…two? years?
wow, final act
Oh man, the heroes all fighting side by side was awesome, especially Mercedes, Luminous, and Phantom
Did they say why the removed the Rune of Bombardment? I thought it looked cool, and it’s definitely not as OP as the Rune of Transcendence…
It’s honestly the worst rune ever
Was bombardment the one where you ride that tank thing?
Yeah
But…but…explosions.. D:
300% PDR….1000% on Phase 3? Damnnn Damien.
DAMNNN DAMIEN, AT IT AGAIN WITH THE PDR
Soooo, nex blockbuster is hilla blockbuster confirmed.
If it so, who is/ what classes are involved this time? We have Resistance and Heroes checked, Nova is definitely out of question, and all we left are Cygnus, Explorer and Zero. Who is in charges of Hilla anyway? Unless the next blockbuster isn’t involving specific classes.
Oh wait, Hilla works with Magnus, Nova might has a chance, Arkarium is slayed, leaving his snake with Hilla? Hmmm…
I’d hope the next blockbuster is the Nova, honestly. We haven’t seen ANY expansion on them since they were first revealed.
Nova blockbuster that touches on Tear and Kyle’s relationship, Nexon pls.
Hilla was trying to claim reign over the Cygnus knights by claiming she was Aria’s descendant. I think it’ll be Cygnus next.
Based on Phantoms arc when he saves Cygnus from Hilla (and Hilla was trying to claim that she was the rightful heir to Ereve) I’d say Cygnus vs. Hilla makes sense! In the mean time, a new Nova character could do the game some good! And new places within Nova to explore. Idk why Maple World has a billion places and Nova its own dimension and has like, 2 cities that we can access…
New Nova character…yes, please.
Wait why not have Cygnus + Nova vs Hilla + Magnus? Then we’ll get more development on the fact that Cygnus and Nova are actually in an alliance XD. Idk mebe I’m being stupid :L
I feel like Cygnus should be involved in a better blockbuster than Hilla’s blockbuster, because Cygnus’ role is so important that I don’t think that tiny Hilla should be the one fighting them, unless it’s another black heaven :v
Yea, I actually very much agree, Hilla and Von Leon just don’t seem like major players in this whole story
You swapped the [coins] needed for the Root Antique Gloves and Boots.
Fixed!
Personally I’m hoping Nova gets the next spotlight I mean when was the last time they ever did anything for that place? Still I’ll keep myself in suspense, and just keep things abroad till the next major event.
waiting for Subtitles…I must see this dialogue…
Also…Damn Mushroom Max…why you make me want to play this game again =3=”
and omg…does Alicia die too…that would be sad :c and we would be lacking a Transcendent of Life…
Cygnus would take over as transcendent
And become PLAYABLE!? :)))))) (Like Zero)
Although I thought Damien was going to absorb Alicia’s powers for good and then go through some redemption arc and be playable himself.
So you’re the one who posted that BS on maplewiki.
Cygnus isn’t Life, Light, or Time, she’s the “Fourth Transcendent”
When the black mage said he had “someone else in mind”, he either meant Damien (cause he planned it all along), or Darmoor (cause a fellow evil transcendent. Also, is probably more likely to win a fight than a non-corrupted Transcendence of Life because their power is one used to create not to destroy, and needs to be twisted into a force of destruction to be an effective one at all. He may be the “weaker” transcendent between Maple and Grandis,
but my headcanon is that, clearly when Hilla thought Magnus double-crossed the Black Mage in Dimension Invasion, and worked together with him later, in Kritias Invasion, it was likely because she found out that he was working towards THEIR master plan [Darmoor AND Black Mage] all along, and backstabbed no one. [except his people, in which case she’s one to talk])
Haha, no, I had nothing to do with any maple wiki posts. Cygnus clearly isn’t currently a Transcendent. But I think they’ve been hinting that she has the potential to become one. Maple World is witnessing big changes, all the transcendents are at play (Rhinne recently incarnated herself as Zero, the black mage’s time is borrowed and his power is shared with Luminous, and Alicia and Cygnus seem to be strongly connected/Damien just tried to steal her powers for himself.) I see Cygnus as a likely vessel for a transcendent’s power in the future. Especially considering the history behind Ereve’s Empresses.
Does anyone have a clue when GMS will get the new job changes?
Usually GMS gets KMS patches after ~6 months. Sometimes less, sometimes more.
Heroes of Mape.
… you didn’t see anything.
Guys wanna asked you all something..Is the heroes previous ring potentialable?
BISHOP FINALLY NEEDED IN GAME.. F5…GOOD JOB NEXON…BRINGING LIKE OLD MAPLERS AWALYS DO..PARTY ALOT BUNCH OF PEOPLE JUST TO DOWN A BOSS..HAHA SALUTE
Bishop !! needed rawr
how much hp/exp do the new monsters have
We nned 5th job !
I love that new map, the flying enemy looks annoying but I’ll take that over Lotus random falling junk,
Sad they are taking the Rune of Bombardment away, I wanted to have fun with that.
Over all this all looks great and kind of worth the wait.
Max, where’d you get the dialogue sprites of the heroes from? (The ones you’ve posted in previous posts) did you get them from south perry? I can’t seem to find any 😦
I used HaRepacker to extract them myself from the data
Just for the record, Nexon changed the appearances of the enhanced demon soldiers in the new area. The wolf rider’s appearance is as so: http://www.insoya.com/bbs/maplestory/Mob/3503009.img/stand.0.png
Can we extend the life of the pet by using water of life?
