Papulatus is one of the oldest bosses in MapleStory and this prequest guide will show you what quests you need to complete in order to battle it.
There are three versions of Papulatus: Easy, Normal and Hard. All three are unlocked by completing the prequests, so you only have to do it once.
Papulatus was revamped in patch V.191 Nova: Brillance Of Illium. It drops one of the rarest Face Accessory items in the game: Papulatus's Mark. This item is often sought after for players in MapleStory looking to upgrade their gear with Star Force.
Check out the Papulatus Boss Guide for tips on defeating Papulatus in Chaos Mode.
