Area Bosses
| What | Bosses that appear on ordinary hunting maps |
|---|---|
| Respawn (area bosses) | A check every 3 hours: if the boss is missing it appears again |
| Respawn (map bosses) | A fixed time after the boss dies |
| Entry | None; walk in |
Area bosses are field bosses anyone can meet by walking to their map. There are two kinds: bosses on a three-hour check, and bosses with their own respawn timer. The tables below list every one of them in MapleVerse, with the exact map it appears on.
In the Map column the large name is the map's own name, as your minimap shows it; the small name under it is the area it belongs to. Region is the continent, with the town the map's return scroll takes you to in brackets.
Bosses on a three-hour check
Every three hours the game checks each of these maps on each channel. If the boss is not there it appears, and players on the map see its line in blue. A killed boss therefore returns at the next check, between a few minutes and three hours later; one nobody kills simply stays. The clock and a wounded boss's HP carry over through maintenance.
Faust and Timer have more than one map. Each map is checked on its own, so each can hold its own Faust or Timer.

The Snack Bar first shows up as a harmless-looking food stand at one of two spots on the Drake Area; break the stand and the real Snack Bar comes out.
The demon lairs
Marbas, Andras, Crocell and Valefor (level 25) each have a lair in the Mini Dungeon behind the Demon's Doorway: Marbas Hiding Place, Andras Hiding Place, Crocell Hiding Place and Valefor Hiding Place. Besides the three-hour check, each demon appears the moment a player walks into its lair if it is not already there ("Valefor has appeared!").
Common problems:
- The Doorway will not let me in on "Catch Valefor!": the Dark Lord gives you Valefor's Emblem when you accept the quest; the emblem, not Shumi's coin, opens the Doorway.
- The lair was empty: walk out and back in; the demon now appears on entry.
Bosses with a respawn timer
These stand in a map's own monster list and return a fixed time after they die (the timer carries over through maintenance). Where a boss has several maps, each map has its own boss and its own timer.
