Hi guys, I've been out of touch with MapleStory for a long long time. Wondering how do you do bosses like HT/Gollux now

Currently level 170 i/l mage with just equipment given from reward box.

I just did the HT quest but keep dying at the heads (before horntail appears), any reason why this is happening? Damage reflect or something?

As for Gollux, is there a chance to do Easy Gollux ?

EDIT:
Would like to note my pet auto hp/mp pouch does not seem to work 100% properly when doing the HT
Could it be latency issue or something, I seem to be DC-ing much more today than previous 2 days too

According to some old threads on the interwebz, horntails left head has physical damage reflect and the right one has magical damage reflect.
So you should watch out for those.

As for gollux.
There is no prequest needed anymore (to some degree).
You can just teleport to the boss map and talk to the cowgirl NPC 2-3 times and you've finished the remaining "prequest" and can instantly start killing gollux.
For each gollux body part you kill, the difficulty of the head decreases by 1.
So:
0 body part(s) killed = Hell Gollux (Hellux)
1 body part(s) killed = Hard Gollux
2 body part(s) killed = Normal Gollux
3 (all) body part(s) killed = Easy Gollux.

Left and right head don't do any damage reflection afaik. It does do an attack that deals 7k damage though, but if you have magic guard that shouldn't kill you.
