*what you actually DID in the quest?* I did this part last as I pondered just how to go about it without dying, which I am not fond of. During that time I recalled the Entrana/Lost City restrictions and headed to the monastary for Monk's robes and maximum prayer, figuring if the robes weren't allowed there'd be a message - there was not. So wearing Monk's robes and Phoenix Necklace with 4 rings of recoil (1 worn), 12 Prayer pots(4), 3 Guthix Rest Tea(3). 3 sharks and 3 tuna/corn potatoes and a spare Phoenix necklace, down I went to do battle with Combat Style set to Kick (Str exp), my highest combat skill @ lvl 91. I believe I had a super set with me and ran away a little to take doses as soon as Koschei the Deathless appeared. as well as turned on Melee Protection prayer. During the fight I monitored my prayer very closely, not noticing a huge loss until Koschei went into his fourth form. I also consumed 3 doses of Guthix Rest Tea (probably unnecessarily) because I still am unfamiliar with it. At the end, Koschei the Deathless was dead, 14 doses of Prayer potion were used, no food was eaten and the worn Ring of Recoil had not fired once. Please note that I am of a Combat lvl higher than most who will do this quest (114 on P2P worlds and 107 F2P with 76 Prayer - 78 to start from Monastary) That is what I did. Wearing a Holy Symbol and bringing c'bow and bolt parts is what SHOULD work based on Lost City. Gem tips and enchanting runes are also not armor or weapons which I thought of since my original post. The Jagex restriction is identical to that of Entrana/Lost City = No Armor or Weapons. I am told by Law runecrafters that a Glory Amulet is allowed on Entrana , so there's another possibility. So, pokemama, that is the whole of it while it is still fresh in my memory. The 1 mistake I made was not having an inventory space to pick up the sword he dropped and not realizing that until I had gone back up the ladder - Was unable to go down again. Killing Koschei the Deathless was a very personal goal since my RS fiancee had surrendered to him and I HAD to do better than that and I did. LOL Signed: Berean, Captain, ClanOldFarts
