General

Im sure this has been said but w/e shes actually pretty easy.. if you magic crasher her so she cant summon her minions its really not that difficult.
It does require Near Perfect Timing but all thing considering shes not that hard

well if pink bean can be killed in 15 mins,and 5more godly ppl, and u should be able 2 kill it in about,oh say 45mins

in several years people will laugh at the days cygnus was hard

Lol, it looks like they crapped out pets in maplestory over there...

OT:Of course it's possible

[quote=AugPirate]i didnt know chuck norris had a wife..0_o[/quote]

I guess that makes pink bean the pet? haha

i didnt know chuck norris had a wife..0_o

Need an army of lvl 200s of all classes o.o

[quote=lolimshort]This is what they said about PB and now people do that in 15 mins, Also we have people who can solo CHT and von leon so im pretty sure this won't be to hard, just get a group of like 15 people with 180%+ Main stat and done [/quote]

Potential Lock much?

beatable
especially when them hackers get to her
but legitly seems intense(or very very very hard)
but think what happens when we fight the black mage
that will take a jebus load of time probably have like 60 billion hp or something possibly lower or even higher

[quote=EvolutionX]OMFG and his only lvl 13! damn you scania![/quote]

Sorry, check job rankings. Hes lvl 26.

Mob no fight back + mob lag + godmode + mage PG / WH PB hack = insta death
ETA On KMS defeat: 3 months
ETA On GMS defeat: when those hackers get their trainers updated

keep in mind the other servers are in a certain country(Korean Ms/Japan Ms) This is GMS more ppl and hackors. I bet it will die during the first 2 weeks its out and the first few runs will be unlegit like usuals.

What's the reward for killing her? Does she drop anything, I mean? The 130 or 140 weapons? o.o

Well, in most of those videos, there were none archmage... if there wer at least two of them, both of lvl 160 +, maybe they could have beaten her once and for all...
(Ego turn off) Empress Cygnus is the typical case of the high damage monster whom in certain algorythmical sequence attacks, debuffs and last but not least, summons... the trick would be having high dmg attackers in the first part of the sequence, dmg per sec specilists for the second and third fases...

The wild hackers will bring her down.

Warrior: I would suggest having Pally and Drk pre-Jump for CO and Hb, then post-Jump, adding a Hero also for the continuous Darkness. (As panic will work on bosses)

[quote=osiel66]There is a video in shakar's blog of KMS players defeating her, but then mysteriously being all transported to henesys instantly.

However, judging from the time it took to beat her (44 minutes left) I would guess there was some obvious reason it didn't count. GMs are likely very observant when it comes to the #1 boss (like they used to monitor zruns back in the day, then ht runs, etc) so they probably detected a major glitch or maybe even a hacker or hackers, which is rare, but it had to be some unfair advantage for cygnus to die at 44 minutes left. (If I had to take a wild guess I would say that she somehow did not summon anything or enter sleep mode)[/quote]

It's not a glitch. Magic crash is supposed to do that.

I lol'd so hard at beginner.

they woulda beaten her if they had just 1 more bishop (or if they killed her the way i killed the last job advancement boss by using the cooldown and only fighting during cooldown) i think that she is possable. (from tespia i beleave that she is just a pink bean with dmg reflect (please correct me if i am wrong))

TRIBUTE THE BEGINNER...

This brings up the question, why doesnt evil cygnus summon advanced noblesse summons?

KMS did technically beat her but at the same time didnt beat her. At least we got a shot to be better than them >=D we will win!

no mages

[quote=Tower157]Bring 18 people instead of 7.[/quote]

You can have a max of 13 people

Give people about a month to finish pre-quests.

You will a Felyx solo attempt in about a 2 weeks and a bunch a failed attempts flooding Youtube.

well a max of 18 people can go and that was only 7 :o

PB also took a year or so to be killed legitimately.

Even Koreans can't do it. D:

But I think they ended up killing Empress Cygnus . So she'll be beatable soon. Give it a year for more OP classes.

Holy cow...

She's huge lol!
But man she killed them easily!

she was almost beaten in kms but the whole expo team got kicked for the map

its the beginning of pink bean all over again

[quote=alexie828]Was she this strong when she was still good? Or did she get strong from evil power? Because honestly, if she was this strong to begin with, she shouldn't have been worrying about being weak in the first place, and she wouldn't have gotten herself into this mess.[/quote]

She's not that strong, it's the knight's that are the problem.

It has:
hp:2,100,000,000
xp:204,000,000
It summon monsters that have more than 50mil hp!
Skills:
• Zombify: for 10 seconds with 100% probability at 800% range
• Super KB: with 80% probability at 800% range
• Summons Advanced Knight A, Advanced Knight B, Advanced Knight C, Advanced Knight D, Advanced Knight E
• Immune to Weapon and Magic Counter attack: physical and magic damage reflection for 15 seconds with 500-50,000 damage
• Recover HP/MP of nearby mobs by 840,000,000 / 1,500,000
• Hidden Potential Nullified: with 100% probability blocks hidden potential for 60 seconds at 800% range
Strong to
Poison, Lightning, Ice, Holy, Fire, Dark

I thought recently people in KMS beat it?

Okay let's all approach this situation on a more positive level. She has all of these crazy skills and has a wicked amount of HP. On the other side a GM has the power to ban you, thus making you rage quit. So which one should we be more afraid of?

[quote=Kagrith]it will take a year or 2 so nexon wont have to do any work for 2 years [/quote]

What if nexon took two years to JUST patch he game of all hacks and glitches...?
I would give them a cookie

Sorry for the random off topicness.

[quote=PostThunder]True. Let me state this once... I am still sorta noob at this game. So far, I have never gotten a charecter with a Zhelm... I have never been on a run with them.
Lets break down their HP and survivablity.

Shadower - Meso Guard, Shadow Shifter, Underaverage - Average HP
Night Lord - Very High avoid, Shadow Shifter, Underaverage HP
Hero - Lower defence compared to warriors, High HP, Stance
Pally - Highest defence out of all classes, High HP, Stance.
Dark Knight - Highest HP out of all classes with HB, High HP, however, lose HP due to skills. Stance.
BaM - Average - Above Average HP, due to conversion, Drain, Stance.
Wild Hunter - Average HP, Stance.
BM - Underaverage - Average HP
Mech - Underaverage - Average HP, Stance, Higher defence, HP Recovery Robot.
Evan - Very Low HP, but has Magic Guard. Stance (Tomorrow), MP recovery skill (Can be used in conjucation with Magic Guard for very, very, VERY easy healing over time without pots)
Arans - Average HP, Combo Shield, Drain
Sair - Underaverage HP, Stance on Boat.

I would recomend bringing all the above classes except, Sairs, BMs (untill JUMP!), Wild Hunters, Heros (Low Survivablity from high damage), and Mechs, unless the mech washed and has very good controll.[/quote]

You really over analyzing. May of the people I mentioned that were of the classes you wouldn't reccomend bringing have easily washed to my hp-3 x my hp.

[quote=cSpot]you guys are all dumb JevvIsOnFire will defeat it. Don't even know why you guys having this discussion -_-[/quote]

I like how you metioned a hacker will beat it. We are talking about a legit run here

[quote=aaronthecow]The damage from smoke time is not worth replacing that shadower with an Nl.(once again not discrimating) just talking about practicality.

It would be more like

Bam-k
nl-j
nl-d
nl-s

drk-s

shad-a
mm-a
hero-b
hero-m

those are the people I would invite off the top of my head.

ignore the letter tags I was just thinking of people so I didn't get them mixed up.And thats generic party structure depending on who needs hb.Some of those people probably don't even have enough hp even with hb.[/quote]

@PostThunder: Also Im killing time while making dinner -.- I'm not really putting my all into proving people who don't know crap wrong.Also ..I did read your bolded text was that supposed to enlighten me about something.

Does anyone have a guide for the pre-quests to enter?

[quote=PostThunder]Night Lords are top DPM, regardless if Shads help with Smoke. Perhaps if you have both classes, in the same party?

The Bera party is going to go something like this...

-Party 1-
5 Night Lords/DBS
1 Shad

-Party 2-
5 Night Lords/DBS
1 Shad

-Soloist-
Hero, or another class that can crash.[/quote]

[quote=hongyu1230]you need to stop saying that, they get buffed, not freaking insanely, I swear every single time a class is buffed a little people keeps saying like they become god and everytime a class is nerfed a little people keeps saying that it's crap, people ned to stop saying that[/quote]

They are buffed insanly compared to where they where on the dpm chart before this update ^^
