Well today, June 26, Jagex modified NPC's. The big monsters (by big i mean 2 by 2 squares or larger) now have the ability to move diagonally. What I mean by this is that instead of first moving east - west, and then north - south after they were aligned with you (like they did before the 'fix'), they now come directly to you when they're attacked or auto attack you.

 

This 'fix' has greatly affected Dagannoth Kinging.

 

The old school lure techniques from yesterday don't work anymore on Rex, hence this guide :

 

 

 

I'm not gonna list all the stuff here, oddfaery has a good enough guide on the main site :P

 

 

 

Basically to get rex to the southeast safe spot you stand in the far middle east of the room and attack Rex from there:

 

 

Be careful and do go too far in the center of the room or you'll get Prime on you. If you are using a veracs setup and are praying mage the whole time anyway it doesn't really matter. You can also pray melee when luring Rex do avoid getting hard hits, but keep an eye on Prime.

 

When Rex starts getting close run to the south east corner. I recommend you go on the "seaweed" square (the square I'm standing on in the following pic):

 

 

That square is the safest of them all, but it's not guaranteed that you won't get hit by Rex.

 

If however you do get hit by Rex even on that seaweed square, you can run to the northeast safespot:

 

 

 

 

Here's a vid that will hopefully better illustrate how to do it: :P

One small note, 20 seconds gets cut at the end dunno why :s but those last 20 seconds dont really matter lol

 

 

 

Good Luck to all of you going back down there and hunting Rex. Hope this guide made it easier for you to safe spot Rex.

Nice guide/vid, but i always get attacked by supreme and prime when i first go in, even if i follow the perimeter. Any suggestions?

Go up and down the ladder until prime and supreme are in the middle of the room and won't attack you, then just run on the outside to the safespot.

Ant and I used your guide, but we had trouble getting supreme not to attack us upon entrance. We had to go down the ladder and up over 7 times. Is this normal..?

It's all a matter of how much prime/supreme like you :wink: JK lol... It's just a bit of timing practice :)

 

 

 

I got RBed by rexie when I found out he could move diagnally :cry:

 

 

 

Teled out and ate just before poisen could kill me :thumbsup:
