To start this quest, you will need to be Level 255; you will also have to clear the Limina Quest before you can begin collecting Black Mage Remnants. Once you have done that, you will need to defeat the Black Mage in hard mode. This will allow you to obtain a Sealed Genesis Weapon. Finally, you will need the Black Mage Remnants to unseal this weapon.

Now that you have defeated the Black Mage, you will need to defeat his eight Afterimages to obtain the Black Mage Remnants drops in MapleStory. However, this won’t be easy, as you will have restrictions placed on you with each fight. Once you defeat an afterimage, you will have to beat the Black Mage each time to obtain a Black Mage Remnant 1x.

All Eight Afterimage and their mission requirements:

Traces of Von Leon the Lion King

  • Defeat alone
  • 90% decrease in Final Damage
  • Only equip the Sealed Genesis Weapon and Secondary Weapon
