I need advice about Contact!, 1 of 3 remaining quests between me and the cape. Basically, I need to know what armour to take, dharocks, rune with neitznot, prayer boosting armour or something else? Will I need a shield as all I currently have is a defender? stats are in sig or in highscore link if Draynor is down again.

i used rune i believe, either that or prayer boosting. i wouldnt take barrows there. bring a whip, dds, super set, and the best food (i advise tuna potatoes, they heal 22). good luck on quest and getting the cape!

During the fight you will also be attacked by two Locust Riders, one uses range while the other is a mage. If you want to attack them you can, but they will die out when you defeat the Giant Scarab. For reasons mentioned, Dharok is not recommend. Use your best armor and use Protect from Magic if the mage bothers you, or Protect from Melee. The helm of Neitiznot is a good choice but limit the prayer boosting gear as there is a ranger too. Good food, some prayer pots and a super set if you like would be good to take.
