tyluke Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 During the Contact! quest I am currently stuck at the part of the quest where you need to kill the scarab. I have died twice at this part and its frustrating me beyond belief I lost all my equipment excluding my Torag helm, torso and legs. equipment lost includes: 2 dragon scimitars, holy wrench, prayer potions, antipoison, monkfish, glory amulet. I took Monkfish, prayer potions, as well as the necessities (candle, tinderbox, desert robes, waterskins etc)now that I have died twice, even after reading the tip.it guide, the second time I fought it I got its health down to about half way but I kept hitting zeros. If anyone could explain to me their set ups and what they did to beat the scarab. the guide said its weak to magical attacks, so what would people wear to fight it considering it attacks with all 3 classes of combat. Additional QuestionsQuestion 1.If i did loan an item from someone and died, what happens to that loaned item, am i punished for losing it? Question 2.I am 1.5mil away from being able to afford full Gutham, would it make sense to buy Gutham, or not bother with the risk. Question 3.Anyone here able to loan a Zamorak spear for an hour sometime this week? my stats are listed below. thanks ahead of time for any advice provided only 2 skills below level 50 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I ran into a similar problem. One solution is maging it. You can actually safespot it (kinda, since its summons will still attack you) near the entrance of its lair. However, to get to the lair you CANNOT use the Catacombs, since you will take too much damage. You must use the Pyramid maze. ~It's Super Effective!

aspeeder Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Also if you choose to melee it make sure to bring a super set, I think it's also weak to stab so either use a dds, leaf-bladed sword, or make sure to borrow a whip.

Good luck! Zammy Spear is the best stab weapon, so try to get that if possible.It's a lot easier to find a lender for a whip than a ZS, plus either of those would be a better option than a d scim. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Yes, but given how much better the ZS would be if the monster is weak to stab, it's worth a shot isn't it? ~It's Super Effective!

Good luck! Question 1 The whip has 0 stab bonus so wouldn't that be a bad decision? :huh: I currently have a Dragon Halabred which has a 70 stab bonus, does anyone think that would work, the only downside is I wouldnt be able to hold a shield, which sucks becasue the scarab still hit 18s on ocassion :-( Question 2 If i did loan an item from someone and died, what happens to that loaned item, am i punished for losing it? Question 3 I'm 1.5mil away from being able to afford full Gutham, would it make sense to buy Gutham, or not bother with the risk. Question 4. Anyone here able to loan a Zamorak spear for an hour sometime this week? only 2 skills below level 50 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone here able to loan a Zamorak spear for an hour sometime this week? 1. The whip can only be used with slash, but its bonuses and speed are so high that it's a good choice for most monsters. The halberd is best if you can use it to safespot; otherwise, it's too slow for most fights except to use for its special (hits twice on large NPCs). 2. The loaned item will go back to its owner with no other repercussions. 3. I've never used Guthan's so I can't give you an informed opinion on that. 4. I don't have one.

Question 2 If i did loan an item from someone and died, what happens to that loaned item, am i punished for losing it?It goes back to the owner's returned item's box, which is why if you and a friend are going to GWD with Arma plates it's better to borrow eachothers than to use your own. Question 3 I'm 1.5mil away from being able to afford full Gutham, would it make sense to buy Gutham, or not bother with the risk.It's a good armour set to own, but I wouldn't get it just to finish this quest (Especially since you have a high chance of using it and there are enemies which use mage attacks). Question 4. Anyone here able to loan a Zamorak spear for an hour sometime this week?Can't help you here :unsure: http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
