Elite Monsters

Elite Monsters are a type of enemy creature that appears in MapleStory 2.

Elite Monsters respawn slightly slower than ordinary creatures and are clearly marked on the minimap with a boss icon. Like bosses in general, they apply Fair Fight mechanics to combat and are associated with Trophies. Elites are more resilient than ordinary creatures but are still taken down easily as a lone player within a minute. Elites are also very often part of Exploration Goals and World Quests, so it can be optimal to plan ahead in order to complete several tasks at once.
