Overview

MVP stands for "Most Valuable Player", a definition not exclusive to Ragnarok Online. This is a monster with Boss Protocol and MVP Protocol and are much stronger than normal monsters. MVPs appear on a wide range of maps, though only at certain times, ranging from once per hour to once per 24 hours since the last MVP of that kind was killed, to when GMs decide to spawn it. In addition to their own stats and skills, MVPs may also summon monsters that will fight with them as their minions, making them even more difficult to defeat. Depending on the MVP, the fight may consist of up to nine monsters, which may all be the same monster or different ones.

While individual players may be able to defeat a MVP by themselves, players will find it substantially easier to defeat MVPs in groups. Because of the difficulty in defeating MVPs, such monsters give a high amount of experience and any MVP reward (not normal loot) they may drop, is added directly into the inventory of the player who achieved the MVP status.

MVPs are also free-for-all, which means that anyone can attack them, regardless of who found it first or who summoned it.

Tomb

When killed, MVPs not spawned by a player (e.g. Ktullanux, see Special Spawn section) will leave behind a Tomb at the spot in which they were killed. Speaking to the Tomb yields the MVP's time of death, along with the name of the player who received the MVP award for killing it. The Tomb does not give information as to the time or location the MVP will spawn next time. The time given is in PST.

Normal MVPs

Normal MVPs spawn a set amount of time after the previous one was defeated plus a random amount of time, which is anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes. For example, if Amon Ra is defeated at 11:00, it would spawn again in between 12:00 and 12:10. If a MVP spawns in multiple places, the two times are independent of one another and the respawn period may be different. Below is a list of all normal MVPs, where they are located, and the time that needs to elapse before it will respawn.

Special MVP Monsters

The following MVPs have special spawn conditions that do not follow the timed spawn model.

• King Poring is an event boss and only spawns when GMs decide to spawn it. This MVP is classified as SS difficulty.
• Ktullanux is spawned by using 4 Freezing Snow Powder (obtained via the Ice Necklace Quest) or 4 Ice Scale (obtained by defeating Ktullanux previously) to put out the four sacred fires on ice_dun03 (Ice Dungeon 3). Once defeated, Ktullanux cannot be resummoned for another 2 hours.
• Kraken requires you to kill the five stationary Tentacles on the same map in order to make the boss spawn. Once Kraken has been defeated and 10 hours have passed, the Tentacles will respawn.
• Lord of the Death doesn't leave a Tombstone, you can tell that that the MVP is alive by the presence of Loli Ruri monsters on the map.
• Memory of Thanatos does not spawn normally, one must climb the tower and complete the quests, once succesfully summoned and defeated, it can't be resummoned again for 4 hours.
