2. Explore the Dead Mine (Level 1)
=======================================================

————–
2.1 Main
————–

This is the first quest that you will do. In order to start it, you will need to be level 50. Before you go, talk to your 3rd job instructor in El Nath and get his permission to go. Don’t forget to do this. The road to this quest is long and hard, you’ll encounter a ton of enemies and will be really hard for someone level 50 to do. Plan on going through Zombies, Fly Eyes, Bains and Cerebes, so make sure you bring a lot of potions. I’d reccomend using a Return Scroll for Dead Mine to get there faster, if you don’t, just walk through the long path until you get to the dead mine…then continue walking until you get to a map called The Door to Zakum. There’s no monsters on this map. Just walk to the right until you see Adobis. Talk to him and pick this quest. He will send you to the Unknown Dead Mine.

A party is required, however members in it are not (you need to be in a party, even if you’re the only one in it). This quest may be harder if it’s your first time, so I’d recomend bringing a friend or two along.

When you first enter, you’ll be in a mine map. You’ll need to reference this in order to understand the directions to get the seven keys that you need. They’re called “A Key of the Magic Box”. You have 30 minutes to complete the quest…GO!

You come in the map in front of map 9.

Rooms 10 and 7 lead to room 16. Here is a map for room 16:

Note: X is where you come in, going out will bring you back to the main room. The numbers are all after 16-. For example, room 5 would actually be room 16-5.

————–
2.2 Collecting Items
————–

You will need to collect seven keys, specifically called A Key of the Magic Box. An optional part of this quest is to collect 30 scrolls, specifically called Paper Document in order to get 5 Return Scroll for Dead Mine, which will transport you to the first map of the mine.

You will need to bash chests and rocks with your normal attack to get the keys and scrolls. You can also get potions and mesos from these chests and rocks…but they can sometimes be traps and send you back to the beginning or summon monsters called Mimic. Here are their stats:

Mimic
(3 summoned at a time)

Level: 54
HP: 4,100
MP: 50
EXP: 165
Phys. Atk: 155
Mag. Atk: 0
Phys. Def: 275
Mag. Def: 215
Accuracy: 175
Avoid: 25
————–
2.2.1 Keys
————–

The keys can be found in the following rooms (Example: 1-3 would be found by going to the 3rd map in room 1)

4-2 (rock)
9-2 (chest)
11-1 (chest)
14-1 (chest)
16-2 (chest)
16-3 (chest)
16-5 (rock)
When you find all the keys, give them to the party leader (or collect them if you’re the party leader). Then go to map 16-5 and in the middle you will see a huge chest. Go to the chest and stand in front of it. Have the party leader drop the seven keys in front of him, wait a few seconds and a Fire Ore will pop out. Have the party leader take it and go back to the main room and talk to Aura. She will ask if you want to leave, say yes and your party will be rewarded with 20,000 EXP each along with a Piece of Fire Ore which will be used later on in Level 3. This is all you get, unless you decided to get the 30 documents…
————–
2.2.2 Documents
————–

The documents are scattered throughout the Dead Mine. There’s a total of 32 of them in the mine, you need 30. Here’s the list of them along with how many are in the map:

All are in rocks, unless otherwise noted.

(Missing 1 document location, let me know if you know where it is)

1-1: 1
1-2: 1
2-1: 1
3-1: 1
3-2: 2
4-2: 1
5-1: 1
6-1: 1
7-1: 1
7-2: 2
8-1: 1
9-1: 1
9-2: 2
10-1: 1
10-2: 2
11-1: 1
12-1: 1
13-1: 2
14-1: 1
15-1: 1
16-4: 1
16-5: 1 (chest)
16-6: 1
Main area: 3

When your party has a total of 30 documents and you’ve completed the key part, give all of the documents to your party leader and have him talk to Aura and leave like normal. In addition to the ore and EXP (Which is 30,000 if you get the maps insted of 20,000), each party member will also get 5 Dead Mine return scrolls.

Now it’s time for Part 2!
=======================================================
3. Observe the Zakum Dungeon (Level 2)
=======================================================

This one can is pretty simple to explain, not very simple to do.

Talk to Adobis. Talk to him and choose this quest. You’ll be transported to Breath of Lava . This is a horizontal jump quest. If you fall, you will land in the lava and have to start all over again. This map also contains Firebombs which you can kill, but will explode when killed. Be careful. If you don’t think you can complete it, talk to Amon to exit.

Not over yet. Once you beat the first part, go through the portal and start part two. This map also contains Lava and has the same overall layout as the first part, but harder. Talk to Amon if you want to leave.

When you complete this part, talk to Lira and she will give you The Breath of Lava which will be used in Level 3.
=======================================================
4. Request For a Refinery (Level 3)
=======================================================

Before you can start this quest, you must’ve finished parts 1 and 2 of the Zakum quest since you will need the items you get from each of those (Piece of Fire Ore and The Breath of Lava). Along with these items, you will need to collect 30 Zombie’s Lost Gold Tooth which are dropped by…

Minor Zombie
(Immune to poison)
(Weak to holy)

Level: 57
HP: 4,500
MP: 110
EXP: 190
Phys. Atk: 155
Mag. Atk: 185
Phys. Def: 165
Mag. Def: 180
Accuracy: 135
Avoid: 25

You can find these in the four Dead Mine maps. It shouldn’t take too long to collect the teeth, maybe an hour or so at max. Once you collect the 30 Golden Teeth, bring them and the other two items to Adobis. In exchange for these, he’ll give you five “Eye of Fire” which are used to summon Zakum.

Congratulations, you’ve completed the three required Zakum quests, now you can fight him…=======================================================
5. Fighting Zakum
=======================================================

Note: The Zakum map is extremely…what’s the word…big I guess and a lot of times, people will d/c from MapleStory before you can even summon him, so make sure the people you’re with have good computers and a decent internet connection.

In order to fight Zakum, you must’ve completed the three previous quests and have atleast one Eye of Fire. You don’t need it, but someone in your party does. Whoever wants to be brave and summon him, go and drop the Eye of Fire in the center of the map on the platform. In a few seconds, the strongest monster in GMS will spawn and, well, kill you.

So you actually want to fight him? These strategies should help
