Bapho on test

Lots of people either deny or just flat out don't believe that "Baphomet requires more than 1 person to kill" now on Test server. Well, TOOL was nice enough to send a screenshot of "the new Bapho" hunt style. For those who have never been to a Bapho hunt, it used to require 1 knight with a Golden Key running at top speed (haste/brave/skeleton axeman morph) through every door, closing doors behind them to ensure that no one else followed so that they could have a quick 1:1 with Baphomet and collect the drops.

No longer.

Also, SoulFire on test server got an elemental ring from Bapho. It is incorrectly labelled Ring of Earth, as it is blue and increases Water resistance by +30% (Thus, it is a Ring of Water).

For some reason, I keep assuming everyone knows this (since the US Test update matches the Korean Test update we reported earlier). The new level-up animation we reported earlier is on US Test too. Thanks to those of you who sent me emails. :)

Things like this make me wish i started on dep unstead of ken. A group of 48+ knights could own bapho if they worked together and pked everyone they saw.

Your not forced to group up. Its just that the bosses are getting beefed up so that you cant take them down by your self. but also i think i should add this is. Bapho and beleth will drop better now.

Seems a fair trade off to get such cool drops.

Was'nt there something about dragon scales spawning on the dragon lair's floor in some earlier korean test server article? What happended to that? I'd love to see dragon scales spawn in the lair's like elemental stones in the elven forest..... What happended to that update???? I need DSM!!! lol

I'm glad to see it -- there are too many high-level campers that hang around and end bapho in less than 60 seconds right now. They hang around in their COI and time it just right, so that they take their brave *just before* the spawn. Not being knight, I can't keep up, so in the 1 minute it takes me to get to bapho, he's already gone (and my party have wasted another 25k for a gold key).

This will do two things: stop brave/haste/ske axe'd knights from 1:1'ing bapho, FORCE them to leave the door open for the rest of the party, FORCE them to wait for the rest of the party since the doors are timed, and give the rest of the dungeon a shot at bapho.

As it stands right now, bapho is a 60-second event. Thank you NC, for fixing this major irritation. :)

(P.S. Thanks Monitor13 on Ken -- you were there the night myself and four others tried to get a chance at bapho :D)

There's something peculiar about bapho spawns now. It seems that bapho stats vary with spawns. At times the first 3 people to run into the room end him before the rest fall in, always in under 7-8 seconds. At other times he makes 2 circles of people on ghast morph with clears tp or before the 3rd circle encloses and ends him, making for a 5-6 minute battle. The 2nd version is REALLY strong hitting for 50-70 hp all around him. I saw a lot of korean players, who I'd never expect to see dead, die to bapho while pumping their load of clears.

So one version seems just a little tougher, while the other hits like, say, a phoenix? So he has more HP AND hits harder? or just hits harder?
And NC seems to have really messed up the item descriptions - Eg.,Belt of Mind increasing HP, Ring Of Earth increasing Water resistance..
Or maybe the Ring of Earth would increase resistance in the opposite element, i.e., Water?

How does NCI expect to update all this on the live servers when they can't even get the descriptions of the items right? This update is a long time away I think, and will be vastly different from the one on test.

One version is just like old bapho, and other version is ant queen-like. like andy said takes out 2 circles of people before 3d circle takes him out.
