Heya! Today, jagex just released the thing I've been longing for in ages - a NEW boss monster! It's level 785, with a known max hit of 51 with melee, and reports of upto 64 with ranged.

 

I have no idea about the max hits of magic as I have only fighted it using the magic prayer.

 

I went in with 5-6 friends and I noticed something straight away - it is not as hard as it looks at all. Theres ways to survive it and perhaps kill it in one trip if you are really good, I did it with my friends returning 2 times myself in black hides and rune helm using ranged.

 

 

 

First off, information on the beast:

 

 

(Thanks to 14Cookie14 for picture).

 

Combat Level: 785.

 

Hitpoints: 2000 (Note: Ruby bolts special will hit a max of 100).

 

Melee attack: 51 Dmg.

 

Ranged attack: 65+ Dmg.

 

Magic attack: Currently unknown.

 

Splash attack: This attack hits down in the ground and hits randomely in a 3X3 area around the place it hit. It's the same attack as it uses in the quest, so I would guess the max is 25.

 

 

 

Known drops:

 

Charms - All kinds, 13 each time.

 

Spirit Shield (Worth 250K in GE).

 

175 Onyx Bolts (E).

 

250 Law Runes.

 

2500 Pure Essence.

 

300 Death Runes.

 

20 Runite ores (F).

 

Mystic Fire Staff.

 

Mystic Air Staff.

 

35 Adamantite Bars.

 

Regeneration Bracelet (F).

 

30 Un Noted Tuna Potatoes (F).

 

250 Soul Runes (F).

 

Mystic Robe Bottoms (No number specified) (F).

 

100 Teak Planks (F).

 

24 Watermelon Seeds (F).

 

500 Cosmic Runes (F).

 

10 Ranarr Seeds (F).

 

750 Adamantite Arrows (F).

 

2000 Cannoballs (F).

 

300 Green Dragonhides (F).

 

40 Antipoison ++ (F).

 

250 Runite Bolts (F).

 

Half Keys (F).

 

Gems (F).

 

(Speculated) Mystic Water Staff.

 

(Speculated) Mystic Earth Staff.

 

I would guess that is drops the Sigils and Elixir too, but I have not yet found any picture proof of this.

 

Speculated means that there is no proof, but seeing as the other two elemental staffs is there theres a high chance they will be.

 

(F) Means theyre from officall forums or no picture to proof them.

 

 

 

Seems quite nice, doesnt it? Now, we get to the part where it begins to get fun - the fight!

 

 

 

Recommended Levels:

 

+90 Hitpoints.

 

+85 Defence.

 

+75 Prayer.

 

+90 Ranged.

 

 

 

OR for melee:

 

+90 In all melee stats.

 

(Yes, they are very high, but for a 5 man team this should be the min you have - this is, afterall, the strongest monster in RS).

 

 

 

I would suggest this gear for fighting it:

 

Ranged:

 

Helm: Torags --> Veracs (not a wise choise, alot to lose) --> Neitznot --> Any Range boosting helmet --> Rune Full.

 

Cape: Accumolater (spell?).

 

Amulet: Fury --> Glory --> Power.

 

Bolts: Ruby with diamond in inventory.

 

Plate: Black Dragonhide (No use in taking karils, it's alot to lose and hardly gives more bonusses).

 

Shield: Dragonfire --> Granite --> Rune Kite --> Unholy Book.

 

Legs: Torags --> Dharoks --> Veracs --> Rune --> Black Dhide.

 

Gloves: Highest level RFD gloves --> Black Dhide Vambs.

 

Boots: Snakeskin.

 

Ring: Life --> Recoil.

 

 

 

Melee:

 

Helm: Neitiznot helm.

 

Cape: Skillcape.

 

Amulet: Fury.

 

Plate: Any really.

 

Shield: None.

 

Legs: Any really.

 

Gloves: Highest RFD gloves.

 

Boots: Dragon --> Climbing.

 

Ring: Life --> Recoil.

 

Weapon: Zamorakian spear.

 

*NEW*

 

Information is out, saying that he is VERY weak to stab attacks - this means zamorakian spear will be the ideal to fight him with when he's on 15-25% hp or lower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inventory:

 

Games Necklase - Diamond Bolts - One click Tele - 30-50 Purple Sweets.

 

4+ Super restores.

 

4+ Saradomin Brews.

 

One super att/str pot.

 

Fill the rest with the best food you have (Mantas, Sharks).

 

 

 

Note:

 

The Corporeal beast will KILL your summoning creatures if you summon any - you could take a spirit terrorbird filled with sharks or monks and let it die inside the creatures lair and mooch of the pile on the ground for as long as they stay (I'm not sure but I think items dropped by summoning monsters stays for 5 minutes instead of 2).

 

 

 

Now, you might say "why all the cheap gear?"

 

Well, that's because when you die YOU DO NOT GET A GRAVESTONE! DO N O T GO IN WITH ITEMS YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE UNLESS YOURE 100% SURE YOU PROTECT THEM!!!

 

 

 

Now we get to the real deal - the fight and the tactics.

 

Let's say youre in a 5 man team. Here's what you would want to do:

 

 

Color Code:

 

Red Dot: Boss respawn point (It will move however - just line up around it like that again when it happens).

 

Green Dots: Players killing it.

 

Blue Line: Entrance to cave.

 

Yellow Line: Rute to run around.

 

 

 

Explanation of tactic:

 

You all line up AS FAR FROM EACH OTHER as possible. It's splash damage WILL damage everyone if youre standing grouped together. Now, the beast will focus on one person with it's range and mage attack (alike jad it will only melee if you go near it) - that person follows the yellow line and shakes off the beast that way. Another method could be stand below it so it dances and gives no damage for a bit of time - could also give you time to heal up.

 

My team managed to kill 80% of a beast before anyone of us had to bank/died (4 items) using this tactic, and we only had to tele because of one thing:

 

The dark soul piece thingie.

 

Like Jad's healers, this thing shows up when the Beast hits half hitpoints. Theres only one of them, it's lv 75 and it has 25 HP. It will target someone in the room, fly on to them and as long as the person is standing in that spot (s)he will be hit 6-8's constantly, draining your HP to the beast. The only way to avoid this is running a few squares away whenever you see the little critter target you - you could kill it, but it can't be hit while its flying to its target and it will respawn again shortly after alike the godwars minions.

 

 

 

 

 

Another way to shake him off is running onto him, making him dance for a few seconds to attack you. I tried this with a small group (3 people) and we managed to get him to 75% hp or so untill I died due to both other team mates standing below the beast when it was on me. This works good as you get free seconds to heal or damage in, so I would recommend trying it.

 

 

 

 

 

That's all for now - I will be updating this thread as I get more information and validation of drops, etc...

 

Hope you enjoy the information - GL getting a sigil or elixir!!

 

 

 

 

 

(Note: If anyone actually gets a sigil or elixir of the beast, I would be VERY happy to have the picture sent to me in a PM - if it is not coinshared, I would be the happiest boy alive if you sent me the picture of the enchanted shield along with the special effect).

Very nice, i never believed that this could happen

*checks drop list*

 

 

 

Man I'm so getting the reqs lol o.o

I can confirm mystic earth staff

By the way, I suggest no armour, other than atrength/range boosting armour.

 

 

 

Just like the quest, armour is useless.

Sweet jesus...those are some nice drops for something that can kill people in one hit..

Yeah, armour is useless, ive been hit a 0 but only ever when im praying. Most of the time this happens.

 

 

 

[hide=Image][/hide]

 

 

 

Thats from one "cluster bomb" attack, and it didnt miss anyone. And since its mage based, and theyre all wearing d hide, and a lot of them are praying....yeah, armour is kinda rubbish.

 

 

 

And if he's attacking one person.

 

 

 

[hide=Image][/hide]

 

 

 

He normally does that to people he doesnt like.

 

 

 

Since he's so strong, the tactics are actually pretty simple.

 

 

 

1. Shoot at him with ruby (e) (getting spec sometimes makes him focus on you, but thats sovled by step 2)

 

2. When he focuses on you, eat like mad and run out the room/underneath him.

 

 

 

That seems to do the trick.

 

 

 

If you want to use the images to scare people, feel free :D

 

 

 

Also:

 

 

 

yeah, its spelled accumulator :P

 

The dark soul thing has 25hp, and its vital that you kill it straight away

 

And, um, i cant really say much else, i killed it in a massive team :P only drop i got was 70 raw sharks but hey, I'm proud of that :D

umm. .. . . cannon it to death? Haven't really tried it, just using what I know/heard, but cannons + ruby(e) could really destroy him.

I went there and it didn't seem that bad. You just have to watch for the cores, splash attacks, and for when he gets on you. When he does, I just quickly click his yellow dot on the map and run underneath him and eat, then dance with him a bit until he gets off of me.

 

 

 

Btw, mage protect seems to help. I used it and never got hit above 40+. Maybe I was just lucky, but the only people I saw taking huge hits was meleers and people not using mage protection.

i cant confirm elixir drop, but 1 of my friends got from 1 of the new noobier monsters so im 100% certain the boss drops it

It drops 100 green dragonhides at a time. I have seen this drop several times, never 300.

 

I can also confirm the elixir and spectral sigil is dropped, I have screenshots. (not mine) From what I hear these are exceptionally rarer than any god wars hilt.

 

 

 

Cannons aren't that good for the beast, but they do kill that dark cores which heal it/hurt you quickly.

 

 

 

The sigil drop to people dying ratio is approximately 1-1k on the first day :shock:

 

Its best you have a 10+ man team for this, or theres no way your going to get more than one-two kills, 2k hp is heaps to wear down and ruby bolts are capped at 100 :(

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck on your trip, and remember there is no gravestones... You can try to run back, but you have to games necklace to Clan wars/use energy pots and sprint back. I have died once in my 100 kills today and managed to get 75% of my items lost back, it is extremely unlikely you will get them back, more likely you will see them disappear :P

 

 

 

Spent all day hunting the beast for no good drops, now to sleep at 1am night :P

Wow. I'll leave this to the experts. The drop list is pretty sweet though. :o

I've heard stab attacks work pretty well.

I know someone who got mystic top, regen bracelet (doesnt lootshare), the elixer, and some sort of new shield

i can confirn the sigils but i have no picture i dont know how to upload them and it can also drop cut onyxes and 10-20 noted glorys15 noted prayer pots 2500 noted pure ess and one of the sheilds specials is that it takes 30% of damage taken to ure hits and minuses them from ure prayer another one has a similar effect but it only works 75% of the time if any one tells me how to post pictures i wil post all sheilds and all sigils
