ItsBlitz Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 *First post here, go me!* Well, to make a long story short... I'm stuck on the scarab at the end of "Contact." I've burned through so much food and a few rings of life already, but I can hardly get him down 1/2 way. My stats: 73 HP 72 Attack 73 Strength 72 Defense Gear: Torag's Armor set (minus hammers) Glory amulet Abyssal Whip Ring of Life Obsidian Shield So, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really stumped. I've tried a few different method, but this is the one that seems to work the best.

ovorette Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I know this will sound counter-intuitive but try wearing a mix of good range/melee defensive gear while using magic as your weapon and praying against your weakest combat skill. Use one of the high-hitting spells like Iban's Blast (?) from a distance while wearing full rune, for example. Edit: And of course use the best stat boosting potions you can get your hands on.

ovorette Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Good luck! It took me many, many trials to beat this quest but the strategy I outlined worked best in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I think there was a "safe spot" which wasn't really completely safe, only safe from the minions...I ended up only having to fight the big beastie itself and with prayer, managed to take care of him. I believe there are places on the net that can show you what I'm writing of...
