For some reason, my game kept on freezing throughout this boss fight. I guess my poor laptop's GPU is finally starting to burn out. On the bright side, it actually made Damien a little challenging.Maplestory - Illium vs. Chaos Guardian Angel Slime solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2022-09-17 | After years of research, the cure to insomnia has finally been developed!
Guardian Angel Slime's minigame mechanics is interesting on paper and pretty fun the first few times... but doing it for almost half an hour every week, it kind of becomes a snoozefest, and staying awake becomes the greatest challenge in the boss.Maplestory - Illium vs. Hard Verus Hilla solo - No healing familiars [Reboot]blushiemagic2022-09-16 | Once again, I solo Verus Hilla with no healing familiars and no timer app. Currently, hard mode only has like 1.33x the health of normal mode. However, hard mode is not bugged and actually summons stuff, so the fight becomes much more hectic (at times). Necro Lotus and Damien seem to instantly die if they encounter even just a stiff breeze though...
Funny enough, the first phase was actually the hardest in the whole fight. Mostly because that downward slash attack does so much damage and has no way to dodge it except getting as far away as possible as quickly as you can.Maplestory - Illium Genesis Liberation - Willblushiemagic2022-09-07 | 00:00 - Will 22:03 - Will Story
Will rules: - I take 10% more damage Personal challenge: - No healing familiars - No crafting buffs - No Krrr RingMaplestory - 6 Illiums vs. Black Mage [Reboot]blushiemagic2022-09-02 | Alternate title: 6 Illiums Ignore Black Mage MechanicsMaplestory - Zero vs. Hard Lotus solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2022-08-13 | At this point, I've lost count of how many videos I've made of beating up poor Lotus. But honestly, with the way he spams perma-stun chain debris and the way his pitched boss drop keeps blowing up, he deserves it.
I didn't realize until watching back through this, but I got so many lucky immune barrier procs in this fight... I should've ended with like just one life left.Maplestory - Illium vs. Hard Darknell solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2022-08-07 | The achievement for solo'ing Hard Darknell is called "Fought Fairly!"
Do not believe what it tells you. There is nothing fair about this fight.Maplestory - Illium Genesis Liberation - Lotus + Damienblushiemagic2022-08-04 | 00:00 - Lotus 15:45 - Halfway point 17:15 - Damien 30:15 - Bonus 30:46 - Damien story
Lotus rules: - 20% final damage reduction Personal challenge: - No sacred symbols - No familiars (except for droprate) - No guild skills / crafting buffs - No bossing legion (because I had event buffs)
Damien rules: - 5 lives Personal challenge: - No sacred symbols - No familiars (except for droprate) - No guild skills / crafting buffsMaplestory - Illium vs. Chaos Gloom solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2022-07-29 | After how I only just barely solo'd Normal VHilla within the 30 minutes, I was very scared to attempt CGloom. It didn't help that my gains from shining starforce were somewhat disappointing. But as it turns out, it's way easier to keep up damage output when you aren't constantly walking in between threads.
Destiny made this boss very free for Illium, mostly because of the new instant crystal charge. The blink float helps a lot too, but I somehow ended up never getting a chance to use it for this run.Maplestory - Broke guild vs. Black Mageblushiemagic2022-07-28 | The first ever 100%-Broke Black Mage clear!
In a freak chance of timing, shining starforce happened right when the whole party finally had enough practice to survive as six. As a result, this run ended up being a complete curbstomp.Maplestory - Tower of Karote Storylineblushiemagic2022-07-27 | The questline that unlocks at level 270, immediately after completing Hotel Arcus. Also known as the Kalos prequest that everyone holds spacebar for. If you're one of those spacebar holders, you can still see all the dialogue here!Maplestory - Illium vs. Normal Verus Hilla solo without healing familiars [Reboot]blushiemagic2022-07-04 | One of Verus Hilla's gimmicks is that she disables all healing, and you need to perform certain tasks in order to heal for a few seconds. But somehow, healing familiars bypass the healing block, so everyone just uses them to cheese the boss. I decided to try this out the intended way without any healing familiars (although I did have more damage familiars as a result).
I noticed that normal mode doesn't seem to be summoning anything. No greed echoes on the floor, no necro lotus or damien. I feel like this has to be a bug and it makes the fight way easier than it should be, but I don't really have enough faith that Nexon will fix this in a timely manner.Maplestory - Illium Genesis Liberation - Von Leon + Arkarium + Magnusblushiemagic2022-06-13 | 00:00 - Intro 00:43 - Von Leon 05:19 - Von Leon has no story :( 06:16 - Akarium 07:45 - Arkarium story 11:09 - Magnus 16:53 - Magnus story
Von Leon rules: - 90% final damage reduction - No equipment Personal challenge: - No symbols - No familiars - No guild skills / crafting buffs
Arkarium rules: - 75% final damage reduction - No equipment Personal challenge: - No symbols - No familiars - No guild skills / crafting buffs
Magnus rules: - 50% final damage reduction - No equipment Personal challenge: - No sacred symbols - No familiars (except for droprate) - No guild skills / crafting buffsMaplestory - Illium vs. Hard Will solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2022-05-15 | Hard Will, where even the best laid plans go awry. Time is of the essence. You rush to pop all your burst buffs and fire off your strongest attacks, only to realize a couple of buffs never activated. You try to time your iframe with the end of the previous one, only to be unable to find the iframe timer among the millions of buffs you have in the top-right of the screen. You're about to finish him off with a powerful finishing blow, only for a web to spawn on top of you at the very last second.
What I'm saying is, HWill requires insane amounts of skill for a low-damage solo. And I don't have skill. So I had to make up for it with two overlapping overpowered event buffs, and one of the most broken non-KMS equipments in the game.

As usual I forgot to tell OBS to record my mic again. A shame since I actually had to talk a bit for this one.

Currently the final area in the game as of uploading this video.
Senya and Cosim are both from the Detective Rave questline at level 175.Maplestory - Zero vs. Normal Guardian Angel Slime solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2022-01-25 | Guardian Angel Slime is a very burst-heavy boss, and Zero gets its name from having zero burst. This made me too scared to attempt this boss for a while, but it turns out I had more than enough damage, even with how horribly I played.
Guardian Angel Slime is a "minigame" boss that alternates between two phases. In the first phase, you try to slingshot the magma slimes into the colored doors; three magma slimes are required to block a door. Then in the second phase, a wave of slime falls downwards. You gain the ability to place blue "walls" to control where the wave flows, and need to try to get the wave into the same color door that you blocked. Rarely, there's a special golden wave that reverses the rules, and you need to get it into an unblocked gate instead. If you succeed in the second phase, you get ten free seconds of attacking the boss with bonus damage, without getting attacked back.Maplestory - Cernium (After) Storylineblushiemagic2022-01-11 | The second half of the Cernium storyline that unlocks at level 265. Also known as Burning Cernium.Maplestory - Illium vs. Hard Lucid solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2021-11-27 | In this video, I dress up as Lucid, solo HLucid, and level up to 270 all at the exact same time.
Soloing HLucid used to be just a pipe dream for me, but the recent final damage changes to Reboot gave me a huge boost that made me just strong enough.Maplestory - Cernium (Before) Storylineblushiemagic2021-10-17 | The first half of the Cernium storyline that unlocks at level 260.
I kinda forgot to upload this for a few months... woops.Maplestory - Illium vs. Hard Damien solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2021-08-01 | In this video, an Illium solos Hard Damien through the egregious abuse of temporary event stats.
Not much to say about this boss. Unlike many other bosses in the game, this one is actually fair. Actually, it might even be too easy; it basically just feels like a damage check.Maplestory - Zero vs. Chaos Papulatus solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2021-07-28 | I played this fight seriously horribly, made so many dumb mistakes, and got hard-carried by extremely lucky shield procs. But considering this was my very first attempt on this character, I'm still happy about it.
I'm not gonna record videos for all the bosses on my Zero, since it isn't as impressive on a second character when you already have a built-up legion and source of funding. I'll still upload certain milestones like this one though.Maplestory - Convergence Storylineblushiemagic2021-07-04 | The level 260 prequest for the Cernium storyline. This takes place after the Arcane River storyline where the Black Mage is defeated.
Since most people probably won't be reaching a high enough level for this anytime soon, I figured I might as well start uploading the storyline for this game.Maplestory - Illium vs. Normal Darknell solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2021-06-20 | Darknell, the final normal-mode boss to exist in the game as of this video. This is the first time I've fought a boss that's a higher level than me, and in Reboot, that means a hefty final damage reduction to all my attacks.
Normally, this boss would come before Hard Lotus. And despite all the BS thrown around, it's still easier to survive than Hard Lotus. But, I was challenging myself to not use buff freezers or green potions, and there was the aforementioned final damage reduction. Plus, this boss is basically impossible without knockback resistance. Most of the attacks hit the character for tons of lines at once so I couldn't rely on Lucent Brand, so I had to wait for Neo to tera-burn a Mihile.Maplestory - Broke guild vs. Verus Hillablushiemagic2021-06-09 | The first ever 6-man 100%-Broke VHilla clear!
This thing basically took months of practice runs. Mostly because we never really had the time to actually schedule the practice runs. And then by the time we finally had time to practice enough, we were strong enough for overkill.Maplestory - Illium vs. Hard Lotus solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2021-05-17 | Hard Lotus and all the bosses past it actually have good rare drops. In the past I've avoided freezers and used only minimal buffs for my solos, but because I really want those drops I'm allowing myself to use anything I can get my hands on for Hard Lotus and up.
Anyways, other than health, the main differences Hard Lotus has over Normal Lotus are: - Seemingly double the debris falling from the sky. - The small blue debris causes stun. - Everything does a lot more damage. Each of these individually aren't that bad. But when you combine all three of those together, in addition to all the annoyances from normal mode (5 lives), you get one of the most difficult, unfair, RNG-infested fights in the entire game. This is the reason Hard Lotus is considered to be even more difficult than Hard Lucid for full parties of six.Maplestory - Illium vs. Normal Gloom solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2021-02-14 | So. Gloom. That fear meter thing has to be one of the worst-designed mechanics ever. Across all my attempts for this, nearly all my deaths were the result of one of the skill-seal monsters spawning directly on top of me. I'm convinced it has to be a bug that those things can hit you before their attack animation even plays. NLucid's golems have to be the only thing in the game worse than this.
This video was recorded immediately after the NLucid solo.Maplestory - Illium vs. Normal Lucid solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2021-02-13 | This is basically the exact same thing as the ELucid solo, except with larger numbers and golems that live longer. In an attempt to make this video slightly more interesting, I dressed my character up as the very boss I was fighting.
As far as solos go, NLucid is honestly much harder than NWill, solely because of the super annoying phase 1 golems, the random teleports, and bombs all put together. I'd even go as far to say that this boss is the most annoying thing to exist in the entire game, even compared to HLucid.Maplestory - Illium vs. Normal Will solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2021-01-25 | As usual, this was done with no buff freezers, green pot, or any of that kind of stuff.
I never imagined I'd ever get to this point in the game. But after the droplet rate buff and a couple extremely lucky black cubes, my damage suddenly suddenly got multiplied by 1.5. It was then that I knew I could do this.Maplestory - Illium vs. Easy Lucid solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2020-08-06 | I thought that Normal Damien would be the last boss I'd ever solo. But then Nexon went ahead and released a new boss easier than Normal Lucid, aptly named Easy Lucid.Maplestory - Wondroid Storyline - Season 3blushiemagic2020-08-02 | I completely forgot to upload this for like months.Maplestory - Wondroid Storyline - Season 2blushiemagic2020-03-09 | I decided to record this just so I can cry whenever I feel like it.Maplestory - Wondroid Storyline - Season 1blushiemagic2020-03-03 | I decided to record this just so I can look back at it whenever I feel like it.Modded Terraria - Special Blushiemagic Boss Clearblushiemagic2019-09-07 | Just proving that this is in fact possible, even when making tons of mistakes.
I was inspired to make this boss when I realized that the Spirit of Purity Rematch was a really boring fight. I wanted a final boss that was more dynamic, for lack of a better word. Playing through this was pretty fun, so that's good enough for me.
With this boss, I also wanted to break the boundaries of Terraria. In fact, I don't even really want to call this a Terraria boss. It's something else entirely, designed to be a completely new experience. I'm probably never gonna mod in a harder boss than this, because at that point it would just be better to make a new game.
For some reason this felt easier than what I remember from testing... oh well.Maplestory - Retro World Event - Demon King Bossblushiemagic2019-03-17 | Just an inconsequential event boss. However, I uploaded this because I swear this thing is harder than Sans.Maplestory - 6 Illiums vs. Lucid [Reboot]blushiemagic2019-02-23 | I forgot to set up OBS to record my mic. My voice remains a secret another day!
Full Illium party is OP when each person can basically take turns giving the whole party a 10-second iframe buff.Maplestory - Illium vs. Damien solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2019-01-20 | This is probably the last boss I'll ever be able to solo. I wouldn't even have been able to do this one if it weren't for the OP alliance skills which go away in a few days.Maplestory - Illium vs. Lotus solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2018-12-02 | Of course all my attempts where I'm fully prepared with so many buffs fail on the first phase, while this half-assed thing is a total success.
I once said that Hard Magnus is the worst boss ever fueled by RNGesus. Lotus has made me change my mind. I probably spent 3 weeks of attempts getting obliterated by terrible luck, haha.
Solo'ing Lotus has long been my #1 dream in this game. Now that I've done it I can finally relax... zzzMaplestory - Illium vs. Chaos Papulatus solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2018-10-07 | After I beat this boss my heart was pounding so much that my arms and hands and even my teeth felt numb (like when your foot falls asleep and feels prickly). It's been over an hour and I'm still shaking slightly.
Thank goodness there's no re-entry cooldown for this boss. So many attempts that I'm pretty sure I spent an hour on this.Maplestory - Illium vs. Hard Magnus solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2018-10-06 | Actual fight begins at 1:20
This boss. Ever since they added the damage-over-time, this boss has been literally RNGesus incarnate. Sometimes I immediately lose every single life as soon as I hit the last phase. Sometimes something like this video happens. Chaos Vellum is my most favorite boss, but this thing is tied with Chaos Pink Bean for my most hated boss.Maplestory - Illium vs. Chaos Vellum solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2018-09-22 | I'm still alive, I guess. Hi.
But back on topic, this is probably my favorite boss in the whole game. The mechanics are clear and easy to understand, yet still take a lot of practice to master, and skill is more of a factor than RNG.Maplestory - Illium vs. Chaos Pink Bean solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2018-08-17 | WARNING: This video is literally the most boring thing ever and you should not watch it. Please. Even I got bored while fighting it.
I've said before that damage reflect is one of the worst things in this game. This boss is literally the damage reflect boss.Maplestory - Illium vs. Chaos Pierre solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2018-08-08 | I probably could've done this a while ago, but Nexon's servers have been shit for the past few weeks. And lag completely demolishes Illium's damage output.
Ah well, finally done with this RNG fest!Maplestory - Illium vs. Chaos Crimson Queen solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2018-07-28 | One of the most brain-dead and RNG-based boss fights ever. Would not fight again. (I'm totally gonna fight it again for mesos ;~;)Maplestory - Illium vs. Chaos Von Bon solo [Reboot]blushiemagic2018-07-20 | Turns out it's pretty hard to play when your hair keeps getting in your eyes. Maybe I should get a haircut.
