MapleStory - Verus Hilla Boss Guide for DUMMIES (REMAKE) 2024

Another Verus Hilla guide, because 6th job is out, and my previous one was kinda mid. Way too long, too. So this one is less than 20 minutes, that should be easy enough to watch without your attention span fading. I've been wanting to remake a Verus Hilla guide for a good minute.

Verus Hilla looks complicated, just enter practice mode and try dodging stuff for like 1 minute. Don't attack her. Or, if you want, attack her until she's 75% HP so she can begin to use her "bone wave" attacks (purple + green waves). Remember, far right corner hugging is fine to avoid strings. However, fart clouds will spawn there (10% tick HP damage) and her minions can spawn there. Also, she can do bone wave attacks there and you have very little space to get behind or in front of her.

Honorable mentions for this fight: you want to take BLINK node, you can jump midair and then "aerial recovery" to stay midair between two strings (I hope that makes sense). If you have no space, take out "rope lift" node because this boss fight is just one flat surface. No platforms whatsoever. Take Fatal Strikes I as a special node. Remember it procs every 30 seconds, and it gives you 100% damage for 2 seconds, so if this activates during your burst (you're supposed to time it) it's kinda massive. Also take Erda Nova if your class has no regular bind. Origin bind is completely separate from regular binding. You can do both of them back to back.

Remember the strategy is to buff up (Angelic Buster link, etc.) immediately and origin bind her as soon as you spawn in. The exact tile you spawn in is safe from strings. After the origin bind is done and she starts moving again (CAREFUL she can teleport, make sure she's standing still) you can regular bind her (Erda Nova if you don't have a class bind) immediately after while your burst buffs are still active, so you can maximize damage output. After that, rinse repeat. Bind and burst whenever those are both up simultaneously. The lower her HP is, the faster she will "sweep" the map and take away your red skulls (if you got stringed).

Try your best not to permanently lose lives early on. You can lose like 1-2 lives, but anything more becomes a nightmare and you can "snowball" the fight into a clutch run or just failure.

Good luck with killing dead mommy, you got this. I believe in ya.

Do you want to make MapleStory videos like me? I think you should! I'd love to see your content on YouTube, we need more for our community.

I specifically use these two programs to edit all my videos:

OBS Studio (Google it, as of right now it's free and I use this to record MapleStory runs. It also records my voice.)

VEGAS Pro 17.0 (I use this specific video editing software to compile music, text, footage, etc.)
