**Heroic Archdemon Malphas** is the boss of the [Heroic Abyss of Demons](/wiki/heroic-abyss-of-demons). Like the regular Malphas, Heroic Malphas is located in a large room with lava at the end of the Heroic Abyss. Fighting him is tricky and high defense is advised as his attacks and his minions' attacks can really hurt. ###Contents - [Stats](#stats) - [Combat](#combat) - [Drops](#drops) - [Tips](#tips) ### Stats {#stats} HP: 30,000 (+20% [6,000 HP] per player in Dungeon) DEF: 40 EXP: 2,000 Location: [Heroic Abyss of Demons](/wiki/heroic-abyss-of-demons) Counts toward God Kills

####Behavior 6 [Heroic White Demons](/wiki/heroic-white-demon) appear in the room with Heroic Malphas (these are not summons) before the fight begins. It is advised to clear out all of the White Demons before you start the fight with Heroic Malphas. Heroic Malphas cycles through attack stages in order. During combat, he periodically goes invulnerable and maintains 4 [protectors](/wiki/heroic-malphas-protector) that orbit him rapidly throughout all his stages while shooting at players. ###Battle Phases: ####Phase 1: Malphas is medium in size and flashes white 5 times while standing still (while he does this, he does not attack, so this is the best time to get your damage in). He then will begin to rapidly summons [Heroic Malphas Missiles](/wiki/heroic-malphas-missile), enemies that chase you down and attempt to explode on top of you. Along with this, he will fire aimed White Bullets at players that inflict Armor-Piercing damage. He will follow players in this phase, but will stop chasing once he moves within about 2 squares of them. ####Phase 2: Malphas shrinks down and becomes more difficult to hit. He moves quickly and erratically while firing 6-directional bursts of Silver Shields that weaken and aimed, armor-piercing White Bullets at the nearest player. ####Phase 3: Malphas grows in size and wanders in place while firing 3-directional bursts of more powerful Silver Shields that also weaken. He also fires extremely damaging White Bullets at the nearest player in 2-round bursts. ####Phase 4: Malphas is medium in size and summons a number of [Heroic Malphas Flamers](/wiki/heroic-malphas-flamer), Heroic Abyss versions of Flamer Kings that will attack with streams of shots. He will spawn 4 from golden bombs thrown around him and much more directly from him. During this phase, he will occasionally attack with aimed armor-piercing shots. The Flamers despawn before his next stage begins. The cycle then repeats. ####At 65% Health: ####At 30% Health: ####Reproduction Spawns: [![Heroic Malphas Protector](//dl.dropbox.com/u/52918745/Enemies/Malphas%20Protector.png "Heroic Malphas Protector") Heroic Malphas Protector](/wiki/heroic-malphas-protector) [![Heroic Malphas Missle](//dl.dropbox.com/u/52918745/Enemies/Malphas%20Missile.png "Heroic Malphas Missile") Heroic Malphas Missile](/wiki/heroic-malphas-missile) [![Heroic Malphas Flamer](//dl.dropbox.com/u/52918745/Enemies/Malphas%20Flamer.png "Heroic Malphas Flamer") Heroic Malphas Flamer](/wiki/heroic-malphas-flamer) [Back to top](#top) ### Drops {#drops} {{template-drop |pink= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=armor#tier-6|name=Tier 6 Armor|externalIcon=//i.imgur.com/VEj9Qnq.gif}} }} |purpleSpan=3 |purple= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=weapons#tier-7|name=Tier 7 Weapon|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Weapon_T7.gif}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=weapons#tier-9|name=Tier 9 Weapon|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Weapon_T9.gif}} |item3={{template-item-link|page=ability-items#tier-3|name=Tier 3 Ability|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Ability_T3.gif}} }} {{template-drop-row |item1={{template-item-link|page=ability-items#tier-4|name=Tier 4 Ability|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Ability_T4.gif}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=armor#tier-7|name=Tier 7 Armor|externalIcon=//i.imgur.com/hAHk594.gif}} |item3={{template-item-link|page=armor#tier-9|name=Tier 9 Armor|externalIcon=//i.imgur.com/sALS3P5.gif}} }} {{template-drop-row |item1={{template-item-link|page=rings#tier-3|name=Tier 3 Ring|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Ring_T3.gif}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=rings#tier-4|name=Tier 4 Ring|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Ring_T4.gif}} }} |basket= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=pet-eggs|name=Pet Eggs|externalIcon=http://i.imgur.com/wi9Ybqt.gif}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=pet-eggs|name=Demon Frog Egg|icon=Consumable/Pet%20Eggs/Demon%20Frog%20Egg.png}} }} |goldenSpan=2 |golden= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=marks|name=Mark of Malphas|externalIcon=https://i.imgur.com/R09xIwZ.png|guaranteed=SB}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=dungeon-treasures|name=Golden Femur|icon=Misc%20items/Golden%20Femur.png}} |item3={{template-item-link|page=dungeon-treasures|name=Golden Ribcage|icon=Misc%20items/Golden%20Ribcage.png}} }} {{template-drop-row |item1={{template-item-link|page=dungeon-treasures|name=Golden Skull|icon=Misc%20items/Golden%20Skull.png}} }} |cyan= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=weapons#tier-10|name=Tier 10 Weapon|externalIcon=/s/a/img/wiki/Weapon_T10.gif}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=armor#tier-10|name=Tier 10 Armor|externalIcon=//i.imgur.com/Dn8i9V5.gif}} |item3={{template-item-link|page=wine-cellar-incantation|name=Wine Cellar Incantation|icon=Consumable/Other/Wine Cellar Incantation.png}} }} |blue= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=potion-of-vitality|name=Potion of Vitality|icon=Consumable/Stat Potions/Potion of Vitality.png|guaranteed=2}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=potion-of-defense|name=Potion of Defense|icon=Consumable/Stat Potions/Potion of Defense.png}} }} |white= {{template-drop-row|first=true |item1={{template-item-link|page=demon-blade|name=Demon Blade|icon=Untiered/Demon Blade.png}} |item2={{template-item-link|page=sword-of-illumination|name=Sword of Illumination|icon=Untiered/Sword of Illumination.png|notes=Month of the Mad God only}} }} }} **Note:** The Sword of Illumination was a limited-time drop during June 2015 Month of the Mad God and August 2016 Month of the Mad God and is currently unobtainable. **Note:** The Potion of Defense is no longer a guaranteed drop from Malphas as of Release 27.7.X6. [Back to top](#top) ### Tips and Strategies {#tips} It is recommended to kill all 6 [White Demons](/wiki/white-demon) before stepping over the checkered black-and-red path and damaging Malphas. This process is known as "clearing whites". Although, note that in abysses with a large amount of players, some may go in for the boss without clearing any of the white demons. The [Demon Blade](/wiki/demon-blade) is a powerful weapon that many strive to possess, and is a quite rare drop from Malphas. [Back to top](#top)
