Excellent video! A lot of great information! One tip I have learned, in Warden p3 when skull skipping: -When Zebak comes out, wait to see which attack style and pray against it correctly and then click skull -When Baba comes out, wait for 1 bolder throw, move a step and then spam click skull -In the last skull phase, wait for 2 boulder throws (when you hear the second bolder throw) and then spam click skull.
i wouldn't recommend the first tip about zebac, very short time between zebac's attack and when you need to click the ground. i found that zebac usually start with magic attack, so just pray against magic and be ready to tank 1 hit, as it's much safer than chance of missclicking the skip
@@MrGalRoz I can understand that, yeah I usually throw on mage as well! Theres about a 2-3 tick window after the attack appearing, that you can afford to change prayers if needed (if you have quick clicks)!
It can certainly be done, I don't want to just throw links in here because some people are suspicious, but I have seen 3 or 4 good players doing sub 40 400s with bowfa and trident. SIDB is a good one to watch, Reynolds has a sub 35 bowfa/trident example but that guy is really insane at the game, just search 400 money raids no tbow no shadow and you will find some good ones, SIDB is an ironman if that interests you.
Great vid, I've been doing similar runs for about 60 raids now (pulled a staff luckily). I've recently started bringing a dinh's for kephri's room to use on the eggs for points - around 0.06%-0.09% per spec, and I use the spec in total around 5-6 times with death charge (uncharging the shadow for soul runes) for over 0.40% points in total (basically an entire warden down worth of points). It's worth considering to add a nice chunk of points since you don't often use your spec at kephri for anything else.
It’s entirely possible and quite easy to dodge attacks while skill skipping. For the third phase (first one with baba)you will need to dodge only ONE boulder every time. As for the fourth skull skip, you time dodging based off the audio of the skills. You use the audio that indicates you can hit skulls to determine how many boulders to dodge. If there is a boulder being dropped on you as the audio occurs or very shortly after you’ll have to dodge twice. If the boulder isn’t dropped until a few ticks after the audio you only have to dodge one boulder and you’ll be safe.
I died skull skipping last night because I tried to step away from a boulder and missed the skip -.- I guess when in doubt just tank a fkn boulder. Nothing is worth dying at p4
Dang, this looks super manageable. I'm probably still very far from this with my base 70 combats and only 7 mil in the bank, but I'll definitely save this video for later when I'm more prepped.
Helpful tips: • Voidwaker is the GOAT 🐐 •I personally double Voidwaker Ba-Ba/Kephri at the start to get a good chunk of health down in 8 game ticks. • Accursed Sceptre has been my go-to since it released. Paired with Tumeken’s Shadow it’s amazing. You’ll notice it on Akkha/Wardens. • If you have Tumeken’s Shadow and can afford more switches I highly recommend bringing Eternal Boots as your boot switch for Magic only. You will notice a difference in Akkha but primarily Wardens. Remember that Shadow quadruples inside the raid so that +12 Magic Attack bonus becomes +48 in the raid. It means Shadow will splash less and hit more consistently. •Use Accursed Sceptre throughout P3 and use it in P4 since Warden’s Defence does reset. It helps speed up the end phase with using Shadow. Less time fighting the boss equals less chance of dying.
If you are comfortable with 1 salt 1 ambrosia and have yellow keris but can't make the 40min time because of bad dps, try turning off the timer and turn on no help needed and turn off "on a diet". That's also 400 and is better than need less help because you get a bandage in your life supplies which can be used around when the 2nd pyramid falls in p1 wardens to tank all the obelisk attacks. You also have another use on the bandage after that for p2 warden. Saves a lot of prayer where you would have to keris otherwise. Only thing is you need to bring all prayer pots unless you flick a lot, or at most like 1 brew to make akkha easier (so you can heal up near the end and still have spec for cum phase).
I swapped walk for it for overly draining. People talk MAD shit on overly draining but it’s literally free. Keri’s already uses almost 100% special attack and if you bring whip tentacle you can still 3 down p2 wardens. It’s a free 15 you just can’t bgs the bosses but imho big fkn deal lol
Great vid. I run 400s as well and they are very chill. Something that I like running is no help needed and dehydration with yellow keris. Once you get comfortable with 400s, its extremely manageable. I dont even have to run insanity which makes the raid absolutely braindead easy.
yea this is def a good strat. I feel like it's not quite as accessible since it hard requires yellow keris and also requires you to make very little mistakes (at least, not too many mistakes in a row), so I went with this instead
I've done plenty of 400s but it's still wild for me someone would ever refer to them as chill lol. When solo, one mistake and the raid could be over even if you don't immediately die 🤯
Not running Insanity on a 400 is an insane waste considering it's 50 free invocation points. Those 50 points in other invocations will slow you down significantly.
@@Baun92 lol I still complete the raid in well under 40 mins. They don’t slow me down at all. I don’t spend time eating/brewing, and I yellow Kerris in only 2 rooms, akkha and warden. Doesn’t make a difference to me and it’s stress free. It’s all preference if u can do insanity without dying everytime then that’s what u should do. If I want to do insanity I just slap it on this and it’s a 450.
@@ifmoviesweremusicvideos If you can comfortably do 400's, there's absolutely no reason you wouldn't run Insanity. Free 50 points. I do money 425s with Insanity, 3-down and four skull skips and it's always done in less than 35 minutes. If I had to reach the same level without Insanity, I would need to add a lot more annoying invocations or path invocations, there's no need to do that, you're just slowing yourself down.
Love the vid, i've been running my own version of 400's but one issue I always had was the salt rng. I usually do baba last and since I redX the lack of salts didn't matter, but zebak last makes a lot of sense
Dude thank you SO MUCH. I cant begin to explain how awesome this is. I'm stuck @ consistently completing mid 200's but (solo) can sweat and complete low 300's but the higher tier raids scare me rn so I'm just slowly adding invos and getting better. Thanks again man your content is a goldmine for someone learning/practicing TOA
5:05 which can be dangerous because the melee has a fairly high max hit so instead of relying on off ticking, this is another spot where ice barrage comes in handy.
I was going to comment this before I even started watching the video but I can see you're already going into how Need Some Help only gives one salt sometimes. I'm super consistent with 340s using Walk the Path and Pathseeker I got my Masori kit by putting Need Some Help on but I had to quit one run because I only got one salt and I didn't know what tf to do. My biggest issue is I don't use insanity. Warden is so free without it and I DO NOT want to lose a raid at the warden. But honestly I've been practicing skull skipping and one ticking the skulls so it's probably time to put it on and suck it up because those 50 invocation points are so worth it. Now I'll watch the rest of the video and see how the hell I deal with one salt. I'm also slow. I don't have shadow just bofa/Sang and Fang but my raids are consistantly 38-45mins and it's maybe
This is a really great video. You talk normal and not annoying and the video is short sweet and to the point, please keep making more content. Averaging 36 minutes without shadow for 400's is crazy, didn't know that was even possible. If you could either buy a shadow or a t bow - which would you go with for this raid? Do you think shadow cuts down your time from trident more than t bow cuts down your time from bofa?
aw thanks! there's people who are even faster but i'm pretty happy with my times. if you're only interested in this raid shadow is huge since akkha and wardens are the biggest time sinks and it destroys both of them (including the obelisk which is nice) - when i got my shadow my time went down by 3 minutes and that's without ancestral
I'm also doing 400s with Bofa, Torso + Fang, Ahrims + Swamp basically the most "mid" gear you can use. Each run is around 46-48 minutes. I use double specs and pathfinder though, removed ancient haste to save on supplies.
Pathfinder + pathmaster are the 2 least time + difficulty to raid-level efficient invocations for solo (except medic). You'd be better off filling that 40 invo with like literally anything else to save time, and then you get a free 10 invo from making 40 minute timer and make more gp/hr.
With fang/bowfa/trident I find it difficult to clear the 40 min timer even in a 350 so I pushed up to 380 and instead of the timer and ancient haste (fuck ancient haste, bowfa noodles hard on me consistently at obelisk) I've been practicing double trouble in entries. Let's see how she goes!
Right it's doable but difficult to be consistent. At the end of last year I finally pulled the solo shadow and got part in 2 shadow splits all around the same time. Highest I pushed the bowfa was like 435.
@@simedinson984 both. I did manage to clutch a 435 p3 and p4 wardens with bowfa after my homie died. So even a 500 wouldn't be terrible with it. Shadow makes that raid a snooze fest ngl lmao
@@austinatyahoohigh invos u need to turn timer off if u don't have shadow. It's really easy to complete the raids you just have to survive and not make too many mistakes in a row. With shadow even if you don't focus on getting time, you'll still likely reach it. So yeah turn off timer for 400s if shadowless.
Incredible guide. Really struggling to make time with these invocations though. Bofa, fang, swamp trident. Even with 2 downs and not skull skipping I either barely make time or almost always miss it.
SGS can be nice to make kephri an entirely supplyless room since you can sgs spec eggs to be full prayer and health whole time Akkah ghosts can be attacked at any point - it will hit 0 outside of shadow phase but you "hit" max - can be good for bp spec or sgs specs if you need health/prayer and have spare spec (if using death charges on shadows youll be high spec most of akkah room)
1 pro tip for skull skip.. Count zebak / baba attacks after the skulls spawn.. In 2nd skull set start spam clicking after 1 zebak hit, in 3rd skull set start spam clicking after u dodge 1 baba rock fall and in 4th set start spam clicking after 2 baba rock fall... This count is fixed for solo insanity
yea i needed a video like this. im tired of being dry at toa. 40-50+ dry when my drop rate was supposed to be 5-6%. now that i have pet, i need to eventually do 450s, so these 400 invos look like a great place to start.
Is there anyway you could tell me what resource pack/plugin you use for your UI? when your prayers are on, the fact they are squared instead of circles is something I've been trying to find for ages
Solo boulder skipping, third skulls: 1 boulder. Then final skulls: 2 boulders (including any that are thrown as soon as the skulls come out) The final skulls as you mentioned may force you to tank a boulder and off prayer so always overheal here. If you have plenty of ambrosias it's sometimes worth just popping them. This method can be done in teams too. In which case you dodge 3 boulders, then 4. No matter the team size as long as its more than 1. If you are the last player alive, for example when the third skulls come out, you will he dodging 1 boulder again, then 2. As the skulls scale down to the number of alive players.
BTW that gear you posted as minimum, you said you can bring dds to get a 2 down to save time. That gear is not capable of 2 down even with dds at 400 raid level. Even if you subbed the whip for a rapier and also had infernal cape it STILL wouldn't be enough to 2 down.
can i please ask for an example run? i have much better gear than you but it's crazy to me how fast you get to Kephri, at 8 minutes i'm finishing ba-ba with red-x, at 8 minute's u're already done with kephris puzzle and killing hit maybe thralls and no red-x are the difference? (i really couldnt get used to thralls on monkey puzzle room, it makes the room a lot harder since i dontbring blowpipe and use bowfa), maybe should bring chins? idk an example run would be so sweet, ty for the guide anyway mate
thralls and red x probably are the difference, red x makes you 20% slower. what time do you normally finish the monkey puzzle room? if you're averaging around 3:30 you should be good. but yea i might upload some example runs later
My only issue with this is hardcore. I know that dying probably means you cant complete the raid anyway but sometimes ill die and still have supplies and salts and makes it completable. Aside from this good shit ill definitely try this setup out!
id add vw to the min setup in the need for speed section along with dds. id even replace bowfa with masori + buckler + dcb cuz thats better dps anyways and allows to bring vw in same-ish budget. when i saw "no sweat 400" i was expecting pathseeker mele trap no insanity ngl. good guide actually, just the bowfa in minreqs is a bit meh, not a good wep
I don't usually comment on videos, but this is an amazing guide with a ton of helpful information. I have found myself messing up the ranger trap fairly often. How tight is the timing for reaching the tile under the mage when the second set spawns?
thank you! i love to see these comments. The timing isn't too tight, I've had times where I start running after kephri goes down and still made it, that being said I always try to keep around the southeast corner and usually try to preemptively run as i hit when she's low hp
@@JiyoolRS Okay awesome I'll have to keep practicing for the eventual fang kit run. If the second phase is taking long, is it best to stay on the ranger side until she gets lower? I try not to trap the melee in solos because it takes forever to kill with a Trident (mystics gang represent)
good luck! if kephri is going long i'll stand right south of the very first dung line and keep dunging along that way so i don't trap the melee - same situation, trident is awful against it
I do 400s, I don't like time invocations and run softcore to avoid death ragequits, I can't do insanity due to bad internet stability (300-800 ping). Bowfa is not require for the minimal setup, I've done it with 13m gear in an hour, and in 100m gear averaging 40-45 minutes, with skill skipping, if you don't have money for a bowfa don't be discouraged
that's true, i wouldn't necessarily say it's worth it to do them in an hour though, seems like a lower invo setup would probably be better money per hour
@@JiyoolRS it was mainly done because I wanted to give myself a challenge, just wanted to encourage poor kings to give higher invos a try and not be afraid of their gear sets lacking
This is a brilliant guide, ive just come back to the game after quitting and will be looking to run these once i learn toa properly, i can just about muscle through a 240 atm but my grasp of the mechanics is iffy. The skull skipping tip is especially well explained and helpful
such a good video, wondering how you're getting 9.3% chance at purple on completion when my 400s are almost identical besides having pathseeker on (so probably more hp/points through the raid) and I'm getting around 8.9% chance. Any ideas what could be causing the variance?
You don't need to have any range boost to hit 25's on the boulders, as long as you have Blowpipe(drag darts)+Avas+Anguish equipped. Only need to use normal range potion if your using previously mentioned gear with Ba-ba lvl 2 or above. But then you can just make it a 4 way switch and incorporate some piece of masori. So always best to just use a divine as a pre-pot and in-raid potion
Hey nice guide. I'm doing 395 without shadow or tbow, but I do some redX and butterfly. BTW it takes me 50-55min there is no way to do it faster unless your a pro. I do also skull skip
lol having never been anywhere close to being able to do bossing and raids, 1/2 this vid is in another language. Still cool to see the content and im sure its great for people who understand
you can always swap no help needed and dehydration for insanity if you truly want a turn brain off and go brrrrrr experience. You can also drink 1 dose of antidote ++ before going into the raid which should last you until you finish kephri, completely mitigating all poison damage. Do zebak first, then kephri, then akkha then baba, You do not need food for baba, ever. Zebak third is good for points but bad for time as you scale the HP of the boss when it's higher level with zebak having a huge pool. Sure you'll kill it faster, but imo it's not worth the additional time it takes + the additional danger of lvl 2+ zebaks mean you're more likely to miss a pray flick. Attack 2-4 dark brown eggs when they spawn on kephri and it stops the non-stop pushback it does as the limit of agile scarabs won't be met or cast 2 blood barrages when pushed back into the corners and it'll likely kill the entire pile at once, entirely healing you for free should you need it. (this helps with time as pushing back = no dps, swapping to dds or keris when attacking eggs is 1 tick faster.
Nice video! What resource pack are you using to get the dark mode bank @3:06 ? Also how do you get the “You’ll need to summon a thrall info box” and the percentage of health on boss health bar @ 7:14? And finally, what are the numbers in brackets in the chat box @ 11:11 ? Your interface looks so cool! Keep up the great guides!
If you get only 1 salt, you have to do akkah first then zebak and use 1 dose of salt for both rooms, right? Then, when do you use the 2nd dose of salt? Right before obelisk? After 2-3 downs? P3? Thanks in advance and awesome guide!
i just salt after the first time i brew on wardens (which is usually right after i start obelisk). in this case save your ambrosias for the very end of wardens since the salt will likely run out before you finish
Awesome guide. Makes me feel like I can jump to 400s from the 310s I’m doing now. Can you share your boost/info box settings? I like the way your boosts and other info is displayed like that.
thanks and good luck! it's been a long time since i messed with them so i might be missing details, but go in the settings for "boosts information" and check "display infoboxes". I also have next buff change and next debuff change set to always. You can drag the infoboxes wherever you want by holding alt
worth a shot but does anyone know why my audio isn't working for toa? All settings are on, I can hear the music and hear my own attacks but cannot hear bosses attacks. Not sure what's going on and I even switched computers, I wonder if it's something RL related.
@@reecekellnhofer7076 if you want to calculate it out, get your whip max hit and BGS max hit and do 21*(whip max hit) + 3*(bgs max hit). If that is 1260 or more then you can 3 down. Otherwise you can bring a dds
Love the video! Cant make the time tho, i always go for zebak because Im not comfortable with the upstet invo, kephri second, akkha and then baba, i got max mage, bandos malee and crystal, getting a completion in around 43mins, dunno why...!
i have hope again. this video is everything. i hve 11 experts completed atm, gonna try and get some more done and send these 400s. insanity used to scare me but after learning ur skull skip method im 1000% confident i can complete one. after work tomorrow the grind begins. cheers bro 😂❤️🫶🏻🫡
@@JiyoolRS oiii thank u!!! here to say, ive completed some more 300 solos on insanity and skull skipping made it a lot easier + more unique %. nothing yet but a few days ago i did 3 350s with 8 people teams and got b2b drops 🤷🏻♂️ so bumping invo up is def the way to go
Can i also make a small suggestion.. Go to poh and pre-pot your prayer points with Ancient mace.. you can easily get up to 130 prayer points to start off the raid.. I do this always. its very very handy.
what should i be taking in to 3down if i only have fang/yellow keris as my melee weapons? even with bgs whacking i find that i dont always get a 2 down with dds so might consider retiring it now
if you only have a fang and yellow keris you won't be able to 3 down, you'll either need to bring a weapon like whip or rapier, or use your dds to 3 down
When do you use your 2nd adrenaline dose after obelisk? Also do you use blow pipes on All akkah shadows? And what darts do you use? Do you think shadow or t bow first is better for 400s if you only have enough for one?
I can't speak for the video creator but this is what i do, it might help you out :) 1. The first adrenalin sip should last till the first down (in 80% of my cases). I spec with dds untill out of spec. If it runs out, sip the second dose of the adrenalin before the first down. Spec him till 0 spec and you will have enough spec and still the Adrenaline for the second down. 2. Blowpipe on all Shadows is the best option. Even better than Fang or Bofa 3. Shadow is better, with ancestral and full mage switch. It's BiS for Akkah and wardens, as most people are saying. I don't own either of those. Anyway, GL raiding!
+1 to everything German said. A few extra details, I use my second adrenaline on the second down of p2 since I have to bgs spec to make a 3 down. I then use it to spec down the beginning of wardens p3. If you don't have to do that, it's probably best to save til the beginning of p4 and then dumping specs. I use amethyst darts and yes you should use bp on shadows. Agree with German, Shadow is by far the best choice for just this raid, it will massively speed up your akkha (by 1-2 minutes in my experience) and also fantastic at wardens
@@reactz1287 even without ancestral it's a huge upgrade for akkha, obelisk, and wardens p2. For p3, it's not necessarily better than a tbow but it's similar enough and frees you up from having to use bgs specs
@@JiyoolRS alright thanks, I think I'm gonna farm other bosses until I get shadow because I was trying 380-400's with ur min gear that you showed and it feels really rng whether you can finish the raid or not. It's not hard to do any of the invocations it's just the dps is so low with the bofa/toxic staff that you burn all your supplies. Especially last phase warden the bofa will simply not do enough dps to kill him fast enough before he burns your supplies unless you play it perfectly dodging everything which won't always happen Also if you had to choose one would you pick twisted bow or shadow first both would be using minimum gear so no masori or ancestral
I have 65 expert kc and never cleared under 40 mins solo. I've got bowfa, fang, trident of the swamp, dds, maxed combat except 96 attack. I think my pb is 43 mins+, don't know what to do to save 3 mins
my main issue atm is inv management, maybe i have too many switches? i dont even bring in a bgs but only have enough room for 4 restores 1 sanfew and 2 brews.... i can get the completion but sheesh if i have a bad akkah, i wont have any restores to kill zebak... should i just throw away 2 brews and just bring restores? because i dont really use them till im on akkah also how are you completing the monkey room under 4 mins without chins? mid way in i already have a bunch of monkey minions at the end that take me a good 30 seconds to kill them all..
i bring 3 brews and rest restores and i make it thru 2 rooms just fine with one restore still remaining. if you feel you are wasting prayer on akka, just turn off prayer in memory puzzle. double click on prayer icon to disable all prayer, that alone will save a few prayer points. also, make sure you are using the right thralls at akka to speed up the kills or else it wastes even more prayer. i prefer ghost or range thrall as they will help u kill the shadows faster, melee thrall only in enrage phase.
I have been pushing my invo at toa and I'm comfortable deathless at 300 with bofa, fang with bandos and sang with ancestral, bgs, claws, sun keris. But as I get to 350s it seems like I'm being held back by dps on final phase wardens because I'm frequently left to dance on 1 row of tiles for like a whole minute. Any advice on the next upgrade for me?
yea thats rough since the next upgrade for wardens is 1b+. are you using your specs at the start of p4? Either 4x claw or re-bgs since its defense resets. That should keep you from having to last row for too long - also if you are finding yourself on the last row for a minute straight consistently you are probably missing a good amount of attacks throughout the phase, make sure you're attacking as often as possible
I hope this works I mainly do solos and I'm 220 expert dry so far which are deathless due to hard-core. Maybe the 400s will turn it around for me, but so far it's been a long demotivated run
You dont the row with "more overlords, blowing mud and medic". Do u use any of those?
more overlords + blowing mud
You can run “No Help Needed” for the +15 points over “Need Some Help” so you can turn off “More Overlords” so you can complete Kephri faster.

Excellent video! A lot of great information!
One tip I have learned, in Warden p3 when skull skipping:
-When Zebak comes out, wait to see which attack style and pray against it correctly and then click skull
-When Baba comes out, wait for 1 bolder throw, move a step and then spam click skull
-In the last skull phase, wait for 2 boulder throws (when you hear the second bolder throw) and then spam click skull.
i wouldn't recommend the first tip about zebac, very short time between zebac's attack and when you need to click the ground. i found that zebac usually start with magic attack, so just pray against magic and be ready to tank 1 hit, as it's much safer than chance of missclicking the skip
@@MrGalRoz I can understand that, yeah I usually throw on mage as well!
Theres about a 2-3 tick window after the attack appearing, that you can afford to change prayers if needed (if you have quick clicks)!
This was a wonderful video. And then adding that surprise purp at the end *chefs kiss* big gzzzzzzzz
I'd love to see a no-shadow walkthrough for each room! Thanks for this guide!
It can certainly be done, I don't want to just throw links in here because some people are suspicious, but I have seen 3 or 4 good players doing sub 40 400s with bowfa and trident. SIDB is a good one to watch, Reynolds has a sub 35 bowfa/trident example but that guy is really insane at the game, just search 400 money raids no tbow no shadow and you will find some good ones, SIDB is an ironman if that interests you.
@@Xoilen great full out response
Great vid, I've been doing similar runs for about 60 raids now (pulled a staff luckily). I've recently started bringing a dinh's for kephri's room to use on the eggs for points - around 0.06%-0.09% per spec, and I use the spec in total around 5-6 times with death charge (uncharging the shadow for soul runes) for over 0.40% points in total (basically an entire warden down worth of points). It's worth considering to add a nice chunk of points since you don't often use your spec at kephri for anything else.
nice tech!
any videos exist of doing that method? 😳 thats worth it if its not too complex
what do you mean when you say that you spec with "death charge"??? can you explain that to me?
@@Ash-ie1zdthey are using the spell death charge
@@Ash-ie1zddeath charge is a spell that restores spec when you kill something, you can use it to dinhs spec multiple times as you kill eggs.
Great stuff! Dropping a comment so the algorithm smiles upon you in the future
awww thanks
It’s entirely possible and quite easy to dodge attacks while skill skipping. For the third phase (first one with baba)you will need to dodge only ONE boulder every time.
As for the fourth skull skip, you time dodging based off the audio of the skills. You use the audio that indicates you can hit skulls to determine how many boulders to dodge. If there is a boulder being dropped on you as the audio occurs or very shortly after you’ll have to dodge twice. If the boulder isn’t dropped until a few ticks after the audio you only have to dodge one boulder and you’ll be safe.
Great tip
I died skull skipping last night because I tried to step away from a boulder and missed the skip -.- I guess when in doubt just tank a fkn boulder. Nothing is worth dying at p4
Dang, this looks super manageable. I'm probably still very far from this with my base 70 combats and only 7 mil in the bank, but I'll definitely save this video for later when I'm more prepped.

Helpful tips:
• Voidwaker is the GOAT 🐐
•I personally double Voidwaker Ba-Ba/Kephri at the start to get a good chunk of health down in 8 game ticks.
• Accursed Sceptre has been my go-to since it released. Paired with Tumeken’s Shadow it’s amazing. You’ll notice it on Akkha/Wardens.
• If you have Tumeken’s Shadow and can afford more switches I highly recommend bringing Eternal Boots as your boot switch for Magic only. You will notice a difference in Akkha but primarily Wardens. Remember that Shadow quadruples inside the raid so that +12 Magic Attack bonus becomes +48 in the raid. It means Shadow will splash less and hit more consistently.
•Use Accursed Sceptre throughout P3 and use it in P4 since Warden’s Defence does reset. It helps speed up the end phase with using Shadow. Less time fighting the boss equals less chance of dying.
If you are comfortable with 1 salt 1 ambrosia and have yellow keris but can't make the 40min time because of bad dps, try turning off the timer and turn on no help needed and turn off "on a diet". That's also 400 and is better than need less help because you get a bandage in your life supplies which can be used around when the 2nd pyramid falls in p1 wardens to tank all the obelisk attacks. You also have another use on the bandage after that for p2 warden. Saves a lot of prayer where you would have to keris otherwise. Only thing is you need to bring all prayer pots unless you flick a lot, or at most like 1 brew to make akkha easier (so you can heal up near the end and still have spec for cum phase).
lol
I swapped walk for it for overly draining. People talk MAD shit on overly draining but it’s literally free. Keri’s already uses almost 100% special attack and if you bring whip tentacle you can still 3 down p2 wardens. It’s a free 15 you just can’t bgs the bosses but imho big fkn deal lol
Quick and concise- perfect for beginners. Have shared with my whole clan. hopefully this will help bring them up to speed.
really good Video man. really clear and tons of helpful tips
Great vid. I run 400s as well and they are very chill. Something that I like running is no help needed and dehydration with yellow keris. Once you get comfortable with 400s, its extremely manageable. I dont even have to run insanity which makes the raid absolutely braindead easy.
yea this is def a good strat. I feel like it's not quite as accessible since it hard requires yellow keris and also requires you to make very little mistakes (at least, not too many mistakes in a row), so I went with this instead
I've done plenty of 400s but it's still wild for me someone would ever refer to them as chill lol. When solo, one mistake and the raid could be over even if you don't immediately die 🤯
Not running Insanity on a 400 is an insane waste considering it's 50 free invocation points. Those 50 points in other invocations will slow you down significantly.
@@Baun92 lol I still complete the raid in well under 40 mins. They don’t slow me down at all. I don’t spend time eating/brewing, and I yellow Kerris in only 2 rooms, akkha and warden. Doesn’t make a difference to me and it’s stress free. It’s all preference if u can do insanity without dying everytime then that’s what u should do. If I want to do insanity I just slap it on this and it’s a 450.
@@ifmoviesweremusicvideos If you can comfortably do 400's, there's absolutely no reason you wouldn't run Insanity. Free 50 points. I do money 425s with Insanity, 3-down and four skull skips and it's always done in less than 35 minutes. If I had to reach the same level without Insanity, I would need to add a lot more annoying invocations or path invocations, there's no need to do that, you're just slowing yourself down.
Love the vid, i've been running my own version of 400's but one issue I always had was the salt rng. I usually do baba last and since I redX the lack of salts didn't matter, but zebak last makes a lot of sense
Dude thank you SO MUCH. I cant begin to explain how awesome this is. I'm stuck @ consistently completing mid 200's but (solo) can sweat and complete low 300's but the higher tier raids scare me rn so I'm just slowly adding invos and getting better. Thanks again man your content is a goldmine for someone learning/practicing TOA
5:05 which can be dangerous because the melee has a fairly high max hit so instead of relying on off ticking, this is another spot where ice barrage comes in handy.
good guide, i changed a few things for my playstyle. also sick mouse. ive used the dscim cursor for as long as i can remember
I was going to comment this before I even started watching the video but I can see you're already going into how Need Some Help only gives one salt sometimes.
I'm super consistent with 340s using Walk the Path and Pathseeker I got my Masori kit by putting Need Some Help on but I had to quit one run because I only got one salt and I didn't know what tf to do.
My biggest issue is I don't use insanity. Warden is so free without it and I DO NOT want to lose a raid at the warden. But honestly I've been practicing skull skipping and one ticking the skulls so it's probably time to put it on and suck it up because those 50 invocation points are so worth it.
Now I'll watch the rest of the video and see how the hell I deal with one salt. I'm also slow. I don't have shadow just bofa/Sang and Fang but my raids are consistantly 38-45mins and it's maybe
Turn off pathseeker and do insanity already because its free as fuck. And if pathseeker is not on you'll get it in sub 40
good video, appreciate it brother, especially the skull skip and every room being explained even with tips n tricks new sub ;)

Amazing video, as always dude. Keep up the great work!
aww thanks
This is a really great video. You talk normal and not annoying and the video is short sweet and to the point, please keep making more content. Averaging 36 minutes without shadow for 400's is crazy, didn't know that was even possible. If you could either buy a shadow or a t bow - which would you go with for this raid? Do you think shadow cuts down your time from trident more than t bow cuts down your time from bofa?
aw thanks! there's people who are even faster but i'm pretty happy with my times. if you're only interested in this raid shadow is huge since akkha and wardens are the biggest time sinks and it destroys both of them (including the obelisk which is nice) - when i got my shadow my time went down by 3 minutes and that's without ancestral
Dunno if im gonna do 400s but i most certainly try out that skull skip method in my 325s
Just came across your content. Great video! Hope to see more stuff from you
I'm also doing 400s with Bofa, Torso + Fang, Ahrims + Swamp basically the most "mid" gear you can use. Each run is around 46-48 minutes. I use double specs and pathfinder though, removed ancient haste to save on supplies.
Pathfinder + pathmaster are the 2 least time + difficulty to raid-level efficient invocations for solo (except medic). You'd be better off filling that 40 invo with like literally anything else to save time, and then you get a free 10 invo from making 40 minute timer and make more gp/hr.
With fang/bowfa/trident I find it difficult to clear the 40 min timer even in a 350 so I pushed up to 380 and instead of the timer and ancient haste (fuck ancient haste, bowfa noodles hard on me consistently at obelisk) I've been practicing double trouble in entries. Let's see how she goes!
Yeah I was thinking from doing my backpack with bowfa that the 40 min timmer can't be to conaistant with it
Right it's doable but difficult to be consistent. At the end of last year I finally pulled the solo shadow and got part in 2 shadow splits all around the same time. Highest I pushed the bowfa was like 435.
@@austinatyahoo group or solo? mostly curious in theory you should be able to go very however high if you ignore time solo
@@simedinson984 both. I did manage to clutch a 435 p3 and p4 wardens with bowfa after my homie died. So even a 500 wouldn't be terrible with it. Shadow makes that raid a snooze fest ngl lmao
@@austinatyahoohigh invos u need to turn timer off if u don't have shadow. It's really easy to complete the raids you just have to survive and not make too many mistakes in a row.
With shadow even if you don't focus on getting time, you'll still likely reach it. So yeah turn off timer for 400s if shadowless.
Great guide, bookmarking for the future thanks!
awesome guide! gz on shadow
thanks
Incredible guide. Really struggling to make time with these invocations though. Bofa, fang, swamp trident. Even with 2 downs and not skull skipping I either barely make time or almost always miss it.
I would swap out time for either overly draining and 3 down or one path level invo I am in the same boat.
SGS can be nice to make kephri an entirely supplyless room since you can sgs spec eggs to be full prayer and health whole time
Akkah ghosts can be attacked at any point - it will hit 0 outside of shadow phase but you "hit" max - can be good for bp spec or sgs specs if you need health/prayer and have spare spec (if using death charges on shadows youll be high spec most of akkah room)
You're such a champ for the akkha ghost tip
You can hit akha shadows after killing them?
1 pro tip for skull skip.. Count zebak / baba attacks after the skulls spawn.. In 2nd skull set start spam clicking after 1 zebak hit, in 3rd skull set start spam clicking after u dodge 1 baba rock fall and in 4th set start spam clicking after 2 baba rock fall... This count is fixed for solo insanity
yea i needed a video like this. im tired of being dry at toa. 40-50+ dry when my drop rate was supposed to be 5-6%. now that i have pet, i need to eventually do 450s, so these 400 invos look like a great place to start.
Is there anyway you could tell me what resource pack/plugin you use for your UI? when your prayers are on, the fact they are squared instead of circles is something I've been trying to find for ages
Solo boulder skipping, third skulls: 1 boulder. Then final skulls: 2 boulders (including any that are thrown as soon as the skulls come out)
The final skulls as you mentioned may force you to tank a boulder and off prayer so always overheal here. If you have plenty of ambrosias it's sometimes worth just popping them.
This method can be done in teams too. In which case you dodge 3 boulders, then 4. No matter the team size as long as its more than 1.
If you are the last player alive, for example when the third skulls come out, you will he dodging 1 boulder again, then 2. As the skulls scale down to the number of alive players.
Look at those gear upgrades! You're the Spoon King!
no skill = rewarded
Legit life saver my man, also for any iron men acb with ruby bolts work perfectly fine here too.
BTW that gear you posted as minimum, you said you can bring dds to get a 2 down to save time. That gear is not capable of 2 down even with dds at 400 raid level. Even if you subbed the whip for a rapier and also had infernal cape it STILL wouldn't be enough to 2 down.
Just completed my second TOA run today, can't wait until I'm good enough to do this!
this dude is a gamer *certified
can i please ask for an example run?
i have much better gear than you but it's crazy to me how fast you get to Kephri, at 8 minutes i'm finishing ba-ba with red-x, at 8 minute's u're already done with kephris puzzle and killing hit
maybe thralls and no red-x are the difference? (i really couldnt get used to thralls on monkey puzzle room, it makes the room a lot harder since i dontbring blowpipe and use bowfa), maybe should bring chins? idk
an example run would be so sweet, ty for the guide anyway mate
thralls and red x probably are the difference, red x makes you 20% slower. what time do you normally finish the monkey puzzle room? if you're averaging around 3:30 you should be good. but yea i might upload some example runs later
So many amazing tips & tricks and well put information! really helped me when pushing the invos!
love to hear that :)
That skull skip is massive! Ill definitely copy it
My only issue with this is hardcore. I know that dying probably means you cant complete the raid anyway but sometimes ill die and still have supplies and salts and makes it completable. Aside from this good shit ill definitely try this setup out!
id add vw to the min setup in the need for speed section along with dds. id even replace bowfa with masori + buckler + dcb cuz thats better dps anyways and allows to bring vw in same-ish budget. when i saw "no sweat 400" i was expecting pathseeker mele trap no insanity ngl. good guide actually, just the bowfa in minreqs is a bit meh, not a good wep
I don't usually comment on videos, but this is an amazing guide with a ton of helpful information. I have found myself messing up the ranger trap fairly often. How tight is the timing for reaching the tile under the mage when the second set spawns?
thank you! i love to see these comments. The timing isn't too tight, I've had times where I start running after kephri goes down and still made it, that being said I always try to keep around the southeast corner and usually try to preemptively run as i hit when she's low hp
@@JiyoolRS Okay awesome I'll have to keep practicing for the eventual fang kit run. If the second phase is taking long, is it best to stay on the ranger side until she gets lower? I try not to trap the melee in solos because it takes forever to kill with a Trident (mystics gang represent)
good luck! if kephri is going long i'll stand right south of the very first dung line and keep dunging along that way so i don't trap the melee - same situation, trident is awful against it
I do 400s, I don't like time invocations and run softcore to avoid death ragequits, I can't do insanity due to bad internet stability (300-800 ping).
Bowfa is not require for the minimal setup, I've done it with 13m gear in an hour, and in 100m gear averaging 40-45 minutes, with skill skipping, if you don't have money for a bowfa don't be discouraged
that's true, i wouldn't necessarily say it's worth it to do them in an hour though, seems like a lower invo setup would probably be better money per hour
@@JiyoolRS it was mainly done because I wanted to give myself a challenge, just wanted to encourage poor kings to give higher invos a try and not be afraid of their gear sets lacking
Blowing mud and more overloards isnt selected in your invocations? @ 0:40
huh, didn't realize they got cut out. they are on though, my bad
This is a brilliant guide, ive just come back to the game after quitting and will be looking to run these once i learn toa properly, i can just about muscle through a 240 atm but my grasp of the mechanics is iffy. The skull skipping tip is especially well explained and helpful
Huh… I’ve got like 500kc, the majority of which is expert and I still learned some things with this video. Nice job

I been doing 300-380s lately. 45 dry atm. Ima try some 400s. Never done boulder dash but I guess ima find out lol.
such a good video, wondering how you're getting 9.3% chance at purple on completion when my 400s are almost identical besides having pathseeker on (so probably more hp/points through the raid) and I'm getting around 8.9% chance. Any ideas what could be causing the variance?
great vid, could we get some mid level vorkath guides and alternatives at that stage?
You don't need to have any range boost to hit 25's on the boulders, as long as you have Blowpipe(drag darts)+Avas+Anguish equipped. Only need to use normal range potion if your using previously mentioned gear with Ba-ba lvl 2 or above. But then you can just make it a 4 way switch and incorporate some piece of masori. So always best to just use a divine as a pre-pot and in-raid potion
you need rigour as well as all the things you mentioned or else you cant one shot boulder
wow great content! I love that this is a high level guide but doesn't include red x and prayer flicking
Hey nice guide. I'm doing 395 without shadow or tbow, but I do some redX and butterfly. BTW it takes me 50-55min there is no way to do it faster unless your a pro. I do also skull skip
Why would you bring both a rapier and a fang?🔬 thanks for the detailed and listenable guides! 👍
You need a fast melee weapon for the core
lol having never been anywhere close to being able to do bossing and raids, 1/2 this vid is in another language. Still cool to see the content and im sure its great for people who understand
Lol
you can always swap no help needed and dehydration for insanity if you truly want a turn brain off and go brrrrrr experience. You can also drink 1 dose of antidote ++ before going into the raid which should last you until you finish kephri, completely mitigating all poison damage. Do zebak first, then kephri, then akkha then baba, You do not need food for baba, ever. Zebak third is good for points but bad for time as you scale the HP of the boss when it's higher level with zebak having a huge pool. Sure you'll kill it faster, but imo it's not worth the additional time it takes + the additional danger of lvl 2+ zebaks mean you're more likely to miss a pray flick.
Attack 2-4 dark brown eggs when they spawn on kephri and it stops the non-stop pushback it does as the limit of agile scarabs won't be met or cast 2 blood barrages when pushed back into the corners and it'll likely kill the entire pile at once, entirely healing you for free should you need it. (this helps with time as pushing back = no dps, swapping to dds or keris when attacking eggs is 1 tick faster.
On average you’d get a shadow every 200 hours so just beware of that. Nex is still the get rich quick boss
Hey - you have a really nice layout - how do I get this for myself? Is it part of the Runelite client?
just wanted to clairfy if i get one salt and i do akha / zebab in that order so i keep both salts for wardens or where do i use one dose before?
Nice video! What resource pack are you using to get the dark mode bank @3:06 ? Also how do you get the “You’ll need to summon a thrall info box” and the percentage of health on boss health bar @ 7:14?

Your interface looks so cool! Keep up the great guides!
Can anyone tell me how to get the dark user interface style that he's using please and thankss
Thank you for such great information
Seeing you play with 10-30ms of ping is crazy. I'm always playing around 100 and it makes a crazy difference. Also 50fps at best so that doesn't help
100 is not bad, it almost the same actually. You might have problems to butterfly Akah, but you don't need it anyway.
What UI is that? I like the prayer highlighting it does in your prayer book.
Why do you use melee thrall for p2 warden? Seems like ranged should be better?
melee hits both wardens (range and mage), if you use range you'll have to resummon a mage thrall at the next phase and vice versa
@Jiyool I think I read somewhere that ranged thrall hits through p2 warden protection, for whatever reason
If you get only 1 salt, you have to do akkah first then zebak and use 1 dose of salt for both rooms, right? Then, when do you use the 2nd dose of salt? Right before obelisk? After 2-3 downs? P3? Thanks in advance and awesome guide!
i just salt after the first time i brew on wardens (which is usually right after i start obelisk). in this case save your ambrosias for the very end of wardens since the salt will likely run out before you finish
Awesome guide. Makes me feel like I can jump to 400s from the 310s I’m doing now. Can you share your boost/info box settings? I like the way your boosts and other info is displayed like that.
thanks and good luck! it's been a long time since i messed with them so i might be missing details, but go in the settings for "boosts information" and check "display infoboxes". I also have next buff change and next debuff change set to always. You can drag the infoboxes wherever you want by holding alt

@@JiyoolRS oiii thank u!!! here to say, ive completed some more 300 solos on insanity and skull skipping made it a lot easier + more unique %. nothing yet but a few days ago i did 3 350s with 8 people teams and got b2b drops 🤷🏻♂️ so bumping invo up is def the way to go
Can i also make a small suggestion.. Go to poh and pre-pot your prayer points with Ancient mace.. you can easily get up to 130 prayer points to start off the raid.. I do this always. its very very handy.
you only really need to do that if you're attempting a 500 just for a clear
which Kephri invocations you have one? think a line of invocations is missing in your screenshot.
what should i be taking in to 3down if i only have fang/yellow keris as my melee weapons? even with bgs whacking i find that i dont always get a 2 down with dds so might consider retiring it now
if you only have a fang and yellow keris you won't be able to 3 down, you'll either need to bring a weapon like whip or rapier, or use your dds to 3 down
how are zebak and khepri level 1 at 8:32 if u have walk the path on
He does a level 0 start. Walk the path only levels up after you defeat a path and it’s a chance to level up. It’s mostly random each raid.
Yo what resource pack are you using? Looks sick
Am I crazy or does the Invocations only total to 375? You show 25 invocations turned on. Do you have additional ones for 400?
Yea some of the kephri ones got cut out (more overlords, blowing mud)
Great video! random question, what plugin/how are you able to get such a slick UI?
resource packs > RL immersive pack
@@JiyoolRS Thank you!
Do you just main you range legs in the leg slot or only when you get masori?
When do you use your 2nd adrenaline dose after obelisk?
Also do you use blow pipes on All akkah shadows? And what darts do you use?
Do you think shadow or t bow first is better for 400s if you only have enough for one?
I can't speak for the video creator but this is what i do, it might help you out :)
1. The first adrenalin sip should last till the first down (in 80% of my cases). I spec with dds untill out of spec. If it runs out, sip the second dose of the adrenalin before the first down. Spec him till 0 spec and you will have enough spec and still the Adrenaline for the second down.
2. Blowpipe on all Shadows is the best option. Even better than Fang or Bofa
3. Shadow is better, with ancestral and full mage switch. It's BiS for Akkah and wardens, as most people are saying. I don't own either of those.
Anyway, GL raiding!
+1 to everything German said. A few extra details, I use my second adrenaline on the second down of p2 since I have to bgs spec to make a 3 down. I then use it to spec down the beginning of wardens p3. If you don't have to do that, it's probably best to save til the beginning of p4 and then dumping specs.
I use amethyst darts and yes you should use bp on shadows.
Agree with German, Shadow is by far the best choice for just this raid, it will massively speed up your akkha (by 1-2 minutes in my experience) and also fantastic at wardens
@@JiyoolRS is shadow still better if you can only afford weapon and not full ansest armor?
@@reactz1287 even without ancestral it's a huge upgrade for akkha, obelisk, and wardens p2. For p3, it's not necessarily better than a tbow but it's similar enough and frees you up from having to use bgs specs
@@JiyoolRS alright thanks, I think I'm gonna farm other bosses until I get shadow because I was trying 380-400's with ur min gear that you showed and it feels really rng whether you can finish the raid or not. It's not hard to do any of the invocations it's just the dps is so low with the bofa/toxic staff that you burn all your supplies. Especially last phase warden the bofa will simply not do enough dps to kill him fast enough before he burns your supplies unless you play it perfectly dodging everything which won't always happen
Also if you had to choose one would you pick twisted bow or shadow first both would be using minimum gear so no masori or ancestral
I have 65 expert kc and never cleared under 40 mins solo. I've got bowfa, fang, trident of the swamp, dds, maxed combat except 96 attack. I think my pb is 43 mins+, don't know what to do to save 3 mins
What is the purple book thing that you bring? >.> It looks like a mages book, maybe upgrade or (or)?
Book of the dead; required for thralls.
my main issue atm is inv management, maybe i have too many switches? i dont even bring in a bgs but only have enough room for 4 restores 1 sanfew and 2 brews.... i can get the completion but sheesh if i have a bad akkah, i wont have any restores to kill zebak... should i just throw away 2 brews and just bring restores? because i dont really use them till im on akkah also how are you completing the monkey room under 4 mins without chins? mid way in i already have a bunch of monkey minions at the end that take me a good 30 seconds to kill them all..
i bring 3 brews and rest restores and i make it thru 2 rooms just fine with one restore still remaining. if you feel you are wasting prayer on akka, just turn off prayer in memory puzzle. double click on prayer icon to disable all prayer, that alone will save a few prayer points. also, make sure you are using the right thralls at akka to speed up the kills or else it wastes even more prayer. i prefer ghost or range thrall as they will help u kill the shadows faster, melee thrall only in enrage phase.
I have been pushing my invo at toa and I'm comfortable deathless at 300 with bofa, fang with bandos and sang with ancestral, bgs, claws, sun keris. But as I get to 350s it seems like I'm being held back by dps on final phase wardens because I'm frequently left to dance on 1 row of tiles for like a whole minute. Any advice on the next upgrade for me?
yea thats rough since the next upgrade for wardens is 1b+. are you using your specs at the start of p4? Either 4x claw or re-bgs since its defense resets. That should keep you from having to last row for too long - also if you are finding yourself on the last row for a minute straight consistently you are probably missing a good amount of attacks throughout the phase, make sure you're attacking as often as possible
I hope this works I mainly do solos and I'm 220 expert dry so far which are deathless due to hard-core.
Maybe the 400s will turn it around for me, but so far it's been a long demotivated run
Jesus... hang in there brother. 5 purps in 10 raids coming right up!
