Observe the Zakum Dungeon (Stage 2)

This
is a jump quest. It is very hard and has 2 stages. If you quit or get
disconnected while in the jump quest, you have to start from the
beginning (You’ll be teleported to the map “The door to Zakum”).

There is no guide, but here is a video:

Request For a Refinery (Level 3)

Adobis
will now ask you for 30 gold tooths. Get these from hunting the miner
zombies (the ones with hats) at Dead Mine. Change channel at 'The Door
to Zakum' and you’ll end up at 'The Passage'. Change channel again and
you’ll end up at the 'Dead Tree' map. Walk right and go into the whole
to hunt. The tooths are yellow in colour not white.

Head back to Adobis, refine your 3 items from the 3 stages and you’ll gain 5 eye of fire.
Now you can summon Zakum 5 times.

Before the Battle Begins

There are certain conditions that must be met before Adobis will allow you to venture into Zakum's Altar.

The following is a list of necessary preparations.

* 1) Complete the 3 Zakum Quests. They must be done before you are allowed into the Altar
* 2) Have at least one "Eye of Fire" in your possession. They are given by the Zakum quests
* 3) Have at least 2000 HP after wearing your equipment, but before receiving Hyper Body

The following is a list of recommended precautions.

* 1) MapleStory graphics is set to LOW
* 2) Exit all other programs besides MapleStory, such as Media Players, AntiVirus, etc.
* 3) Defragment your Hard Drive the night before your run


The Arms



The first part of the battle is the arms. These are killed first and in a certain order:

* 8th
* 6th
* 7th (CB party ONLY!)
* 4th
* 2nd (All parties move to other side after this arm dies)
* 3rd
* 1st



THE 5th ARM IS THE LAST ARM TO BE KILLED.
It does NO damage. This is break time before the tough part begins.

Some tips:

An important tip to surviving Zakum is to not rely on your Priest.
Your Priest is in your party to help you in the event that you lag and
cannot pot. Otherwise your primary healing will be coming from potions.


Arms:

Zakum will be summoned and the expedition will be located at the
bottom right. When both bottom right arms are killed, the buyer party
will move to the bottom left corner and stay there for the rest of the
battle. While the arms are alive, the body does no touch damage, so it
is safe to walk across the middle of the map, but remember the arms
still hurt you for about 2400 damage if you touch them. There are also
teleporters at the top of each side that take you across the map. Arms
have various attacks. Physical and magic attacks do up to 2000 damage.
Poison clouds do 800 damage. Touching the arms does about 2400
damage. The third arm down on the left side also causes status effects
(Seal, Curse, Weaken, Blind).


Body:

Touching the body results in anywhere
between 6000 to 11000 dmg,
You don't want to get anywhere close
to Zakum during the body stages.

Zakum has 3 primary attacks.

* 1) Lightning Strike - Does a maximum of 3200 damage
* 2) Falling boulders - Does 2700 to 2800 damage to all players hit
* 3) Apocalypse - Reduces HP and MP to 1
