Strategy

Notes

According to the 8-1 Interface-icon-PvE.png Mission: The Return of Ur, Trojans are known as the 'Legion of Ur,' and are said to have once numbered in the thousands, Devilites are trying to summon them into the Clockworks for unknown causes.

Due of the similarity, it is probably that most of Trojans are corrupted Spiral Wardens.

Arkus is a fallen ex-knight of the Spiral Order that was being transformed into a Trojan. This gives evidence that at least some Trojans are corrupted Spiral Knights.

Although rarely, Maulos is the only miniboss who can drop materials when he is defeated.

Trojans can be compared to Deadnaughts as their attack patterns are similar and they are only vulnerable to damage from the back.

Maulos

Monstrous Profile
Tier 2,3
Monster-Maulos.png
Description

A mysterious Frozen Trojan intending to freeze Cradle with Everfrost's power resource.

Notes


The boss consists of three phases, during every phase Tundralisks will spawn. He uses the 'Heart of Ice' a mace like Lord Vanaduke that will create a trail of breakable ice, causing the Freeze status to anyone who gets in the path of it. His attack buff also knocks back knights and creates blocks of ice. He is supported by a lot of cold monsters.

  • In the first phase he spawns two invincible Perma-Frostifur. When he's dealt enough damage, Maulos will surround himself with a block of ice, will not move and will be very easy to hit.
  • In the second phase he spawns around four Frostifurs and when hit enough will again surround himself with ice. Frozen Souls come to help Maulos in this part of the battle.
  • In the third phase he spawns two to four Layoafers. He is finally defeated when he takes enough damage.
