mikehild Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I just started playing again a week ago after a 3 year hiatus and I'm wondering if I should do this quest now for the nice prayer bonus or put it off until my summoning is higher. First off, current stats: 88 attack85 strength85 defense99 range99 mage99 prayer94 hitpoints59 summoning With my current combat stats, do I stand a chance with only using a terrorbird instead of a tort? Should I be ranging or meleeing him with turmoil? I will be using soul split regardless to make up for the invy space I'll be lacking. I've also read of people using kyatt scrolls. Would sacrificing two inventory spaces for a kyatt pouch and scrolls be worth it with my already limited invy space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisky_is_Goo Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Ranging is better. It can be done with only a terrorbird, but it is much more difficult. Kyatt pouch is a NECESSITY. Bring scrolls in an enchanted helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehild Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Then range it is. I'll be going in there with ruby (e) bolts and I'll summon a kyatt when my terrorbird is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasscube Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I did better with just diamond bolts myself. Help drive change Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Ranging with rubies and a kyatt is doable at 80 range 70 prayer and a bird without much trouble. So you should be fine. Use sap mage or leech magic/defence along with soul split (super restores should cover that).

mikehild Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 :-D My first try! It wasn't bad at all. Didn't even get to use my kyatt or terrorbird it went so quickly. Bringing a range pot and potting up when he's split into 4 illusions really helps to deal damage fast. For his normal mode I prayed soul split, leech range, and leech defense and switched to deflect melee when he went berserk. Ruby bolts for normal, diamond bolts for berserk. Equipment: Inventory: + 12 brews in terrorbird, which I never used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisky_is_Goo Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Those are incredible results lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewing Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yeah, I was surprised with all the responses saying you would have difficulty. Soulsplit helps a ton, most of the people who have trouble with the quest do not have soulsplit.

mikehild Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yeah, it was definitely helpful. Every time a ruby spec went off, I actually healed instead of losing 10% of my hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
