“A monster who found its way to our world through the Dimensional Crack.
It may have numerous personalities, but all of those personalities are uniformly evil. After all, Papulatus is the one responsbile for warping the innocent toys of Ludibrium into monsters AND the growth of the Dimensional Crack. It seems like the bigger the Dimensional Crack gets, the more power Papulatus is able to siphon from other worlds.”
― Chronicler Q

Papulatus is a boss located in the depths of Ludibrium's Clocktower Bottom Floor. It consists of a ghostly, plant-like being from another dimension who pilots a robot in the shape of a clock.

Story

An arrangement with Rhinne - Maple World's Transcendent of Time - and the King of Ludibrium has led to time being stopped in Ludibrium to preserve its youthful innocence. Cracks in time and space have formed throughout Ludibrium as a result, with strange creatures appearing from another dimension. Papulatus, one of these creatures, has barricaded itself at the bottom of the Ludibrium clocktower. It has been siphoning power from these dimensional cracks to grow stronger and expand the Dimensional Schism, turning the toys of Ludibrium into monsters as a result. With the expanding schism, various monsters have found their way to Maple World and started wreaking havoc throughout Ludibrium. Once you obtain the Piece of Cracked Dimension and block Papulatus's escape route, it is up to you to defeat Papulatus and destroy these cracks in time to restore Ludibrium back to normal!

Battle Overview

Papulatus can be fought in Easy, Normal, and Chaos mode. You must be in a party of 1 - 6 players in order to fight him, and each player will have a Death Count of 50 in Easy mode and 5 in Normal and Chaos mode. If all players reach 0 lives, then the battle will end and the party will be kicked out of the boss fight. The battle has a time limit of 20 minutes in Easy mode and 30 minutes in Normal and Chaos mode. In Easy and Normal mode, there is no Potion Cooldown, while a Potion Cooldown of 5 seconds is applied in Chaos mode; in all modes, a Potion Cooldown of 6 seconds is applied during Papulatus's Alarm.

When first entering the fight, you will have to summon Papulatus dropping the Piece of Cracked Dimension item onto the small hole found on the right side of the map. When the crack is filled, the Time Sphere, a glowing orb, will appear at the center of the map. Waiting 6 seconds, or dealing damage to the orb, will cause Papulatus to emerge and begin the battle.

The battle consists of 2 phases, each of which will have different attack patterns. Certain patterns occur throughout the battle. Note that you will be in the same map for the entire fight, and that the variants of Papulatus found in Mu Lung Dojo and Mirror World do not use these attacks.

NOTE: Most damage values will vary based on difficulty, and will be listed in order from lowest difficulty to highest. Example: if listed as 20% / 25% / 30%, then the 20% correlates to Easy mode, the 25% correlates to Normal mode, and the 30% correlates to Chaos mode. If there are no listed values, then it is the same regardless of difficulty unless stated otherwise.

All Phases

  • Tongs: Throughout the battle, tongs will hang from the ceiling and periodically drop down. If a player is caught by one of these tongs, regardless of whether it's on the ceiling or near the floor, they will be held in place for a short period of time. Players are vulnerable and unable to attack when held by a crane.
  • Crossing Lasers: Papulatus will occasionally summon two lasers on either side of the map, the one on the left rotating clockwise and the one on the right rotating counterclockwise, with 4 random rotations chosen between the two lasers. These lasers deal no damage, but can be blocked by standing in front of them. If the two lasers touch each other, Papulatus will summon two large pendulums and crash them into each other, dealing 999,999 damage to any players on the screen; this can be avoided with certain invincibility and damage-blocking skills.
  • Papulatus's Alarm: Every 2 minutes, Papulatus's alarm will ring for 30 seconds. During this time, Papulatus will remain stationary and vulnerable to attack, but players' HP will constantly decrease by 10% per second, a potion cooldown of 6 seconds will be applied, and clock springs will begin raining from the sky, dealing 10% HP damage and stunning players who are hit. If Papulatus's first phase is defeated during this pattern, the remaining duration will continue into the second phase.

In the first phase, Papulatus rides on the clock robot to attack players with a variety of skills.

  • Smash: Papulatus slams the robot's arms into the ground, dealing regular damage and applying regular Knockback to players in front of it.
  • Alarm Clocks: Papulatus summons blue alarm clocks along the map which explode upwards. Deals 5% / 30% / 70% HP damage to players standing on or above the clock's position.
  • Curse of Papulatus: Papulatus will spawn a timer above the players' heads. Tick-Tocks and Master Chronos mobs will spawn periodically and drop ×2 (multiply by 2) and ÷2 (divide by 2) multiplier items upon defeat, doubling and halving the player's timer respectively. When either the player's timer or Papulatus's timer reaches zero, players will be inflicted with Stun or Seal until the remaining timer runs out. This effect cannot be dispelled, although the timer itself can be blocked initially by casting a skill such as Hero's Will right before the timer ends, or by using an invincibility frame. It will also be removed upon dying. Papulatus will begin using this pattern at 85% HP remaining (Stun) / 39% HP remaining (Seal). This has a 60 second cooldown.
  • Summon Crack in Time: Papulatus spawns rifts in the fabric of spacetime on the floor of the map, which will deal 100% HP damage to any player standing on the floor. Players must jump onto the platforms to avoid them. This has a 120 / 60 / 60 second cooldown.
  • Time Travel / Dimensional Warping: Starting at 20% HP remaining, Papulatus can go to sleep, becoming temporarily invincible for 60 seconds. When this pattern actives, the Crossing Lasers and Papulatus's Alarms will be canceled until he wakes up. During this time, the pillar in the center of the map will transform into a wheel divided into 6 segments, each segment labeled with a random percentage of 0%, 1%, 10%, or 100%; in Easy mode, 100% will not appear. A portal will also appear on the left side of the pillar, and both High Darkstar and Low Darkstar mobs will be summoned around the map. Players must clear as many segments on the clock face as possible before Papulatus wakes up. It is recommended to clear any 100% segments immediately to prevent Papulatus from healing to full HP. This has a 120 second cooldown.
    • To clear a segment, players have to defeat the Darkstar mobs and collect the time bubbles that drop. When collected, the hand on the wheel will spin clockwise until it lands on a segment, with the amount of rotation depending on the value of the time bubble; Low Darkstars drop bubbles ranging in the minutes (10/30/50) and High Darkstars drop bubbles ranging in the hours (2/4/9). Players then need to press the Up arrow on the portal next to the pillar to clear the segment the minute hand is currently pointing at. When players have cleared all segments or 60 seconds have passed, Papulatus will wake up and heal the based on the highest HP segment (if any) remaining on the wheel; for example, if one 1% segment and two 10% segments remain, Papulatus will heal 10% HP.

Phase 2

When Papulatus's first HP bar reaches zero, Papulatus's Clock robot will explode and Papulatus will instead use a small vehicle to fly throughout the map and attack players.

  • Spring Projectile: Papulatus will fire a small clock spring projectile at players. Deals regular damage in Easy mode and % HP damage equivalent to (30% HP - Player Defense) × 0.55 in Normal and Chaos mode.
  • Summon Otherworld Papulatus: Papulatus will summon four clones of itself. These copies have low HP and also use the same Spring Projectile attack, dealing % HP damage equivalent to (10% HP - Player Defense) × 0.55 in all modes. These should be defeated quickly, otherwise they will be absorbed by Papulatus, restoring its HP by 1% (3,000,000) / 1.9% (80,000,000) / 20% (25,200,000,000) for each clone. This has a 60 second cooldown.
  • Bomb: Papulatus will place a bomb on a player. If the player doesn't deal 1,000,000 / 20,000,000 / 1,260,000,000 damage to Papulatus, the bomb will deal 40% / 60% / 80% HP damage and teleport the player to a random spot on the map. This has a 60 second cooldown.
