Guide How to easily kill hard gollux

Many people struggle with hard gollux. I understand this, i also struggled for a long time.
Until i discovered this fantastic method to kill gollux with ease, even at like 200k range

I apologize to the close ranged classes who cannot do this method but for most classes this makes gollux a breeze

@asianboii59 this is my entire point. You shouldn't have any hand attacking you if you set up hard mode correctly. You have no need to move to avoid the hand in hard gollux if you kill the right shoulder!

@asianboii59: I've never Golluxed before, so I really have no say in this.. but I have seen videos of people ducking before the grab comes up and dodging it. It was a basil video IIRC.

@VMAs: No, you cannot duck to dodge it, I can teleport, but the transition from attacking to teleport is much too slow and by the time my attack finishes the hand would have got me. Not only that, but my teleport range is not even long enough to teleport down and I don't have enough jump (no haste) to jump out of way. If you're a thief or someone with flash jump, then it's easy.

[quote=asianboii59]This is definitely not something a 200k range can do in a satisfactory time span..I'm 500k range and it already takes me 10 mins to kill the body and come the eyes I always get wrecked by his grab lol...[/quote]

Can't you duck to dodge his grab?

Excellent bossers understand the intricacies of the game's mechanisms, which makes bossing more fun, and I see this bucc is also using the poison trick for pirate's revenge. Excellent video to watch to better understand gollux's attacks and/or learn tricks to take him down.[/quote]

And for all of us Explorer Pirates who actually completed quests in MapleStory, like we were originally taught to, have now been screwed(Curse you, Quest Specialist!).

Impressive video, though. Definitely an inspiration for not only Buccaneers out there, but other 'poorly designed' classes; this was a great informative video for the finer mechanics of the game, and really, I wonder how people find out all this information, as in how much do they figure out for themselves, and how much they read online.

Knew that method from a friend o.o I do that as a DrK when I'm with a ranged person who can hit the other side
Usually when I solo Hard Mode (I only can do hard) I just stand in the middle (killed Abs) and drain all day since I got -2 Abnormal Duration so I don't worry about getting stunned. For Eye part, I just get myself knocked into Final Pact to save time and just finish it.

you should put dark flare on the left side so you don't have to bother with the mob.
