## Prepare before taking on a boss

Nexon recommends preparing equipment and teaming up with other Maplers for these challenges. Agree with your group on the goal of the attempt and check your supplies before setting out.

Use the current game and your group’s experience for the fight itself. A name appearing in a launch roster does not establish a fixed respawn timer, drop chance, or safe solo level.

## King Slime and the party quest

King Slime appears in Nexon’s description of First Time Together, the Kerning City party quest. The party quest opens at level 21 through Lakelis on channels 3–12.
