Excited to see new content!! You're my new favourite content creator!!! Keep up the good work,the necro guides have been amazing, the detail is great and has finally got me and my brother into bossing finally! Keen to see what bosses you teqch us next, how you did the zuk video was brilliant and unique!!
You sir are a gentlemen and a scholar. Not to mention a savage lol. Coming up with full breakdowns before release, love it. To this day one of my favorite strategies I’ve seen was your afk glacor vid utilizing normal spellbook zealots regen brace and bar stacking. Not even because i use it lol, solely because of how unique it was and nobody had thought to push normal spellbook in a useful way. Cant wait to see what you cook up with the new prayers. Keep up the good work man.
One strategy I would like to explore is the use of the "redemption" prayer. If damage is low enough (prayer can be used once per minute) you can use it along prayer renewals basically outheal the boss without any food.
You were right, they hotfixed using the extra action button to delay its attacks. Now if you don't slam it when you use it, your corruption ticks up and you'll take more overall damage.
Glad I saw this video yesterday. Did this when completing the quest today and I didn't use a single piece of food for the entire thing. Only a few more hours till we get the live version!!!
At 2:02 I think he says "If you love the Ancient prayer book, Fortitude might work". Audio was hard to understand so I moused over each curse until one sounded nearest to what I heard.
Good ass video as always! Using the Extra action button also stops the healing, which is essentially free DPS, so good to use on cooldown. Right now, I am expecting about 50 supplies per kill required to 1 cycle, as the boss takes 3750 per shard when u get the 25% damage bonus(unsure if there is higher but 25% is what i was getting consistently) expecting around the 200k hp mark for when you attempt to go for the kill but all depends what the boss is released at lol
I did a few tick perfect pillars and still only got 25% so I assume that's the cap. I didn't realize the boss stopped healing with the extra action button, good catch
There was a stream where Hooli did the quest while Luma and Zura did commentary, so we learned some things about how the fight was scaled down for the quest. They mentioned that the damage that the gate does to the player was "significantly reduced", and that the damage that the shards to do the gate was increased. They didnt actually mention the boss HP being changed. We can infer that the damage is reduced to 25% of normal in the quest, since the tooltip for the corruption debuff states it should do 10 damage per stack but it only does 2.5, but we don't know how much less damage the shards will do. My instinct says that shards will do 2k damage each, since that makes the 5%-25% increase from jumping fast give nice round numbers.
I agree. I think the fun will be trying to see how fast you can do it/trying riskier methods for fun. Group encounters also have so much potential for good memes and cool strats
@mshock5150 depends on the scaling of normal mode and if there's anything else to do to maximise damage. Maybe with a completely empty inventory and mammoth you could? But usually hp doubles from normal to hard mode. Can you do 180k or whatever in 1 cycle? It might be capped? Maybe in multi, between you, you could 1 cycle, as in, 1 action button each? Or is it shared? Does hp double in multi every person? Or will it increase like cro. We just don't know. I can't see jagex letting people 1min kill this skill boss though - that's majority of of ppl, not like 1% that can 1min.
@@kroberts88kr There won’t be a hard mode. When I made it through the quest, I only needed to mine 5 rocks I believe. I understand that was story mode, but we’ll see what comes on Monday.
exactly this. it won't be far off, but you won't 1 cycle 'normal' mode. a lot of effort for just the quest version... hoping duo/trio will be interesting and not just more hps
Exactly. I feel like too many people are assuming how easy it will be and don't realize story mode is significantly different from normal mode. But it would be very surprising to see if it is the same. The drops would be dirt cheap and no new money maker would be introduced.
Will normal mode be safe death? Or will we be sent to deaths office? Hope its safe like croesus. But only time will tell I spose. I kinda like that its locked behind a questline. That'll protect items from hitting rock bottom week 1.
free death week during launch week, but not safe after that week, which is strange as Croesus is always free, but then this doss actually use your hp, not skills as 'hp'
Arent the hits massivly reduced for story mode though? Also its runescape, your invetory is missing fletching items to no xp waste while in green shield! Haha
How 'bout a Kalphite Defender, with Crystal Shield 4 + Mobile, with the Elite Mining Outfit and the Malletops Tier 2 Dino Perks in Anachronia? I mean, with this, you lose the Corehammer Effect, but then there comes the question... Is that even worth bringing anyways? Given the fact we're already bringing a fully perked Pickaxe, we'll be using the Legendary Quarrymaster Aura, some will even use a Mining Potion, and not to mention the effect of the outfit itself, all things considered the corehammer seems a bit overkill and a defender (who also has a chance to reduce a hit) and allows the usage of defensives abilities AND can use either a Weapon OR Armour Gizmo, sounds like a FAR, FAR better option to be frank. I'll deffo be trying this on Mobile this evening.
Jagex nerfed this strat shortly after release, but some other great methods exist still. I'll add examples soon

we need the hcim zuk grind
Nice vid, i suspect this skilling boss will be very easy. still excited tho :)

Exactly how do you navigate the pillars? When I can get on the first one they all vanish before I can get my cursor to the next one.
Be near them when they spawn and do it quickly I believe
Yes u gotta be near them
Definitely helps with my 1-cycle theories.
not in 'normal' mode
@@kroberts88kr you don’t think it can be done?

@mshock5150 my comparison was story to normal; normal to hard, but yes, we'll see tomorrow
Great video by the way! any chance Aegis blood essence would work here?
did you explain the instakill that hit you thanks in advance
When boss hits full hp you get instakilled
Amazing work sir!
I havent finished the quest and now the portal at deaths says you have to have done the quest to get back....any hints?
I have to grind this boss tomorrow thanks to this fast method, seems too good to pass.
good guide, i can confirm this method still works today as the boss released.
When im doing the run, sometimes i fall in the agility part, what cause of it? that sometimes i fall?
Probably it's RNG and happens less often with higher agility level just like agility courses
@@J00sti im already maxx, 99 , i wonder
CAN I USE SARA BREW?
yea but it'll drain your str level which affects mining speed. since adren shouldn't be draining as you're not in combat just stick to solid food
Thank you for the amazing guide as usual, mate. :D
this is also assuming the quest version is the same as the full release...
exactly this. it won't be far off, but you won't 1 cycle 'normal' mode. a lot of effort for just the quest version... hoping duo/trio will be interesting and not just more hps
Quest will be like ED story modes. Main will have more hp and floor mechanic will be faster

@callmecreamy391 yeah, hoping offhands have some insane value. Rc and div need all the help they can get. Can see them being big money on launch
Will normal mode be safe death? Or will we be sent to deaths office? Hope its safe like croesus. But only time will tell I spose. I kinda like that its locked behind a questline. That'll protect items from hitting rock bottom week 1.
It was safe during the quest, but we'll see
free death week during launch week, but not safe after that week, which is strange as Croesus is always free, but then this doss actually use your hp, not skills as 'hp'
think death cost with skilling gear is not even gonaa be 5k
Did you guys not see the post? All deaths are safe here.
@@JoFo-cl6ro then why have jagex announced free death week...
Arent the hits massivly reduced for story mode though?

noted items to diss you mean =]

Corehammer is bis, the more crit you have the better, especially with resourceful aura.
QP COOKING WITH THIS ONE
is it a safe death for hardcore's
Fkin epic as always
easy boss and portents of restoration can be useful this time
no it cannot
