Maple Story's next patch
So, the next patch brings us MuLung Dojo and CPQ2. Firstly, lets see wtf is MuLung Dojo.
Mu Lung Dojo is a Pq similar to Boss Pq. You have to defeat bosses around Maple World in order to collect points that later you'll redeem for some pretty neat rewards.
To access the Dojo, you'll have to talk to a NPC that looks like an announcement board called 'Mu Lung Announcement'. Oh and there is a level requirement of 25. The Lobby hall has only one NPC, So Gong. If you're party-ing, only the party leader needs to talk to him. If you choose the solo mode and it's your first time doing this pq, you'll have to defeat Do Gong before going on.
So Gong
LV : 20
HP : 2000
MP : 100
SPEED : -10
W.ATK : 90
M. ATK : 20
W.DEF : 10
M.DEF : 60
ACCURACY : 55
AVOIDABILITY : 7
EXP : 35
KNOCKBACK : 50
(hes MA/WA are weak doing not more than 200 dmg)
The Mechanics are easy: there is a 2lvl room, a boss roams the bottom. After you defeat it, a portal opens at the top and you can continue to lvl 2 and so on. Like the Boss Pq, you wont be given any battle points if you die during the fight or quit before you enter the portal to the next room.
During the pq you cant use normal potions (great...) but instead, bosses summon minions that drop potions just like CPQ. (again great...have fun finding a HP pot in a sea of MP pots -_-
After every fifth round, there is a resting floor that has no time limit and you can recharge HP/ MP. You can also talk to So Gong at the resting floors to save your progress so that you can teleport directly to that resting floor the next time you come in. You can only save your progress in the resting floors, not in rounds of your liking. You do not lose exp if you die in the Dojo.
The final boss
Mu Gong
LV : 150
HP : 27,523,000
MP : 50000
SPEED : -30

W.DEF : 950
M.DEF : 770
ACCURACY : 220
AVOIDABILITY : 50
EXP : 91,220
KNOCKBACK : 100,000
This one is a tough pickle. 27 mil hp, doing 3k to 4.5k touch and MA dmg, having 50 AVD, making him the 3rd hard to hit boss in GMaple (Pink Bean has 45 avd X_x ).He can cast seduce (This version forces you to crouch down for the duration of the curse -10 seconds-), zombify, weakness, and can summon Mini Pandas. It also uses damage reflection once its hp is past 50%. This boss possesses different offensive skills; it can fire a very fast energy ball that deals around 3.6k damage along with a heavy knockback, it can also enlarge itself and cause an earthquake like attack. Finally it can use an AoE skill that summons falling pillars to land in a certain area indicated by a flashing panda statue.
The minion's stats are as follow:
Mini Panda

HP : 10,000

Special Skills
An energy meter is located on the left side of the screen.The more damage your character receives, the higher the bar goes.You can unleash any of the 3 skills below by using the combo once the bar is fully charged. Note that the energy bar will go down by itself if you don't get hit in a while.
- Meteor Shower= Decreases Max HP of the boss by 30%.
- Divine Body =30 seconds of invincibility. Though you are still vulnerable to status ailments<
- Berserk Fury=Increases Attack by 100% for 30 seconds

By the way, medals are awarded for killing bosses. Gong awards medals for killing 100 bosses of the same type in Solo mode, however, they last 1 day only.
