Earliest Possible Latanica Encounters
Players do not encounter bosses who are very far out of their own power range in "MapleStory." Monsters that appear will never be more than five power levels higher than the power level of the player. Since Captain Latanica is a level-100 monster, the earliest that a "MapleStory" player will encounter him is at level 95.
Range of Captain Latanica Encounter Levels
Captain Latanica appears between levels 95 to 200, which is the maximum level attainable at the time of publication; however, players will generally find that a good time to hit Captain Latanica is between levels 95 and 101. Above level 101, other monsters that bestow more experience points when defeated will appear more often, so players may choose to pursue those to achieve faster in-game leveling.
Battling Powers of Captain Latanica
Captain Latanica has a weapon-attack power level of 500, a magic attack level of 700 and attack accuracy level of 160. The monster has a weapon defense level of 700, a magic defense of 700 and an avoidability rating of 12.
Battle Weakness of Captain Latanica
Captain Latanica is extremely vulnerable in one area: unlike many other monsters, Latanica is unable to heal himself. Once a player inflicts damage on this monster, he will progressively weaken with no way to recover. Because of this lack of healing, victory can be assured as long as a player has patience during Latanica battles.
