Maple Story Hacks

Puppet spot.

Possible places for puppet are placed as shown by the pink boxes. You could always stand on the topmost small platform and snipe that way, but when the death teddy gets too close, it's whack-time.




Vice versa. You can put the puppet below, where the DT can't reach it. This also serves the purpose to make the DT go to the opposite side of the lpatform, where you'll be able to shoot it from the lower platform (when the DT is on the closer half, it isn't reachable by your arrows)




Here's a nice spot- nonpuppet.


To kill the DTs on the top platform, simply go on the left side of the platform and strafe away. The DTs will shoot, but the ghetto square beam will just pass over your head.



Once you clear the platform, you can do this:

As you can see, the DTs stop to shoot you, but alas! when you're on the platform, you're untouchable



Onoz, you ask- what if they're too close? Didn't you learn anything in the second job?! Just PKB them.

Note: combination Ice shot-> PKB-> Ice Shot-> PKB is very fun, not to mention useful when you don't want to just bust through the Death teddies, resulting in much unagi scarfing and sadness




You can also snipe the death teddy on the other side from the platform




Now we're on the next platform. You will probably need puppet for this.


Just use the eruption to lure them toward you, place your puppet on the ledge, and commence to own them. Basic puppet lesson.



An alternate way you could do this is from the other side.

See? You can shoot the death teddies from the little red block.
It's a bit superfluous to explain how to use puppet in every way, so I'll just assume you can figure out where to place it yourselves.




You can snipe the Death teddy without getting hit here. The beam passes over your head and fades into nothingness >:D

For every (yes, every) red block on the left of each platform, you can snipe the death teddies and they CANNOT touch you if they target you while standing.
YOU ARE INVINCIBLE! But if you duck, they'll target you correctly and you'll go flying down the screen. If they get too close, just jump and PKB them back.



Moving on to the next platform, we find.. nonpuppet sniping places :D


The middle part is very easy. You can stand here and snipe this death teddy, then move to the blue box to snipe the ones on the left.



Alternatively, this death teddy is snipable from the right.

The beam won't hit you here, either. Just be careful of new Death Teddies spawning on you ;3




Even farther down..


This is basically keeping your distance from its beam. Where my character is standing is as far as the death teddy's beam reaches. Conversely (or was it inversely?) the far right on the red platform is a snipable position to clear the left platform.



Once you clear the red platform, you can rain/erupt the death teddies below and puppetise them.

There are endless possibilities for this area. The plethora of small platforms and hiding places you can place your puppet make this area very easy to clear.
Basically, the boxes show where you should stand, and the colour coordinating arrows show which way you should shoot. You'll be safe, I promise (:




Did I mention once you can reach death teddies from the red platform? Now I have.

This is also a nice rain/eruption + puppet place.




You can't get hit here.



Another nice rain/eruption + puppet place.



To the far right bottom, a non-puppet sniping place! yay :D


One of my favourites- the death teddy here cannot touch or beam you, and you don't need anything but strafe :D

The pink box indicates where you can place a puppet, after you've cleared the DT off of it. Sadly, though, you cannot erupt the DTs underneath you from this platform.




In the middle, you can run around on the platform luring death teddies under you. Hence you puppetise them and you're good to go.



At the far left is another place where you can erupt/rain them under you and puppetise them ;3
