How to adjust difficulty level in Gollux?

I recently got my lazy butt to complete the Tynerum quest line and now I have access to Gollux. However, I was only able to figure out how to access his easy mode and probably hell mode. I destroyed all the core upper body parts and I'm assuming that is the easy Gollux since he doesn't drop tartar sauce. But When I destory a part of his body (e.g shoulder and ab), I cannot solo him even at 400k range which I'm guessing is the hard mode. The real question here is is there a mode in between the two and if there is, how do I access it? Easy mode is way way way too easy and doesn't drop squat, and Hard mode is just ridiculous. Lastly, I'm doing Gollux because I want to acquire the lvl 130/140 gollux ring and I'm hoping that I can get it from a drop rather than tediously acquiring coins to purchase from the shop instead. Thank you, fellow Maplers!

Happy New Year! Cheers to you all and to a fabulous 2014!

@morrie2: you go through the "arms" route or the route outside of his body first. Then you reach the portal with a split and you take the left or the right portal (depending on if you went to the left or right route) and then you should end up in the core

I believe it is the abdomen route. I know that there is a head TP rock as well.

What they said ^^^. Except for hell to reach Difficulty 5 instead of 4, you need 2 people in the party. :o

Killing 3 Parts: Easy (Drops: 1-2 coins & Cracked Gollux Pendant and Belt)
Killing 2 Parts: Normal (Drops 8-10 coins & Cracked/Solid Gollux Pendant and Belt)
Killing 1 Part : Hard (Drops 15-20 coins & Cracked/Solid/Reinforced Gollux Pendant and Belt)
Killing 0 Parts: Hellmode (Drops dont know how much coins & chance of superior Gollux pendant and belt.)

Gollux doesn't drop earrings or rings only belt and pendant, you can only purchase them from the shop.

Yep you're correct
Kill All Body Parts - Easy
Kill 2 Body Parts - Normal
Kill 1 Body Part - Hard
Kill none - Hell

normal mode is with 1 shoulder and the lower thing killed you should be able to kill normal mode with that range

This new spacing hurts my eyes

I wouldn't know, the maze keeps me from going there
Now if it was at the gates, I'd gladly go and kill it everyday
BUT THE LABYRINTH OMG
I would think there would be an option when you go in [or maybe it's the quests the npc gives you]
