Brief Bug Summary: Netherworld Monks are erroneously still immune to Physical Damage.

More Details:
KMS' Unlimited removed the Physical Damage immunity from Netherworld Monks (Arkarium boss summon). However, the same relative patch in GMS (GMS' Unleashed) did not apply this change. As such, for the last 8 years the boss has had broken mechanics for GMS. Please apply the correct stats for Netherworld Monk so they are no longer immune to Physical Damage.

References:
  1. Arkairum’s summons are no longer physical attack immune, but their defense has been increased (https://orangemushroom.net/2012/12/05/kms-ver-1-2-179-maplestory-unlimited-system-reorganizations/)

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Enter Arkarium boss with a non-Mage class character.
  2. Allow Arkarium to begin summoning Netherworld Monks.
  3. Attempt to damage the Netherworld Monks.
  4. Notice that they only take 1 damage per line. This is because they still have legacy Physical Damage immunity.
