Stages
There are three main stages to this boss.
After each stage The Barlog gets stronger and uses a wider range of skills.
These stages or phases of the barlog don't require you to change maps.
Stage One: Proving Your Strength
The Balrog believes he is the strongest monster in the Maple World. His plan is to take over the world all his balrog minions. in order to fight him, you must first prove your strength to him, otherwise you are immediately sent out of the map, because he does not believe you are a worthy FOE.
The first stage is the first 10 minutes which you iside. During these 10 minutes you must deal a certain amount of damage to the head or left arm of The Barlog (Doesn't matter which you hit). You must deal at least 2.5 Million Damage for easy and 5Million for normal difficulty.
Stage Two: Balrog Minions
Now The Balrog thinks you are a worthy enemy. Now his only goal is to kill you and your party. Prepare for a harder fight!
In the second stage, The Balrog begins to summonmaller, weaker balrogs to try to kill you off. He will summon Jr. Balrog, Crismon Balrog and Baby Balrog. During this stage, you will also need to stay near the statues inside the map. There should be three statues:
- Top Left
- Top Buttom
- Top Right
Every 15% HP or so that The Balrog loses. A notice will appear, telling you to attack the statues. you will have about 30 seconds to hit the statue. If this is not completed The Balrog will recover to full HP and you will basically have lost.
To survive throughtthis stage, you should have everyone attacking the head of the balrog, except for two or three experts. These experienced players who have done this boss before should kill th0e mobs which are summoned on the bottom and right, also, they should be responsible for those two statues. ussually these bottom-mobbers should have High HP and have Mobbing Skills. They also have to be careful since The Balrog casts 1/1 (HP/MP) and Dispel (Takes away your buffs).
Stage Three: The Last Stand
This is the last stage of The Balrog. It is now at full strength and has access to all its skills. This stage begins around 40% HP and is shown by the Balrog's Hands getting chained to the ground. During this stage the Balrog will become blue. The main threat during this stage is its Damage Reflection.
Damage Reflection is a skill that The Balrog will cast and lasts around 15-30 seconds, during this buff, Do not attack The Balrog. If you attack during this buff, you will be dealt damage after hitting the balrog. It will deal about 500% of your damage back to you!, so a warrior dealing 1,000 damage will recieve 5,000 damage aproximately. The way to see if the buff is being casted or not is currently on is if the horns are white. There should be a small circular skill infront of The Balrog's mouth.
During the 3rd stage, the skills and summons from the 2nd stage will still be casted. Only more often and more mobs. during this stage, once the hp reaches to 0, The Balrog should be dead.
