Neohero1972 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hi I'm about to begin the Mourning's Ends - Part 2 quest and I need some advice before starting out. I have watched a video guide on how to do the quest and I can see that praying against melee is important as soon as I enters the Temple of Light dungeon (to avoid being slaughtered by Dark Beasts and Shadows) and while being in the Temple of Light complex itself. My suggested equipment setup for survival in the temple is: well, just about everything which has a prayer bonus ! Proselyte Sallet (helm) Proselyte Hauberk (chest)Proselyte Cuisse (legs)White Boots (feet)Dragon Mace (weapon)Falador Shield 2 (shield)Ardougne Cloak 2 (cape) Blessed Holy Symbol (amulet) Total prayer bonus: 42 Is this setup good enough ? - it's sorta what I have and the rest I can easily obtain.

opeious Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 That seems like a waste of prayer points to me, you could prayer flash if you don't mind clicking a bit or you could tank in full guthans :thumbsup: Gl with the quest btw Barrows Drops:....................................................Dragon Drops:...............Other Drops: Dharok: 2 Helms, 1 Top, 2 Legs, 4 Axes.......................2 Claws Split..................1 Bandos Tassets Karil: 1 Coif, 1 Top, 2 Skirt, 2 Crossbows......................3 Plate legs...................4 Berserker RingsAhrim: 3 Hood, 2 Top, 3 Skirt, 1 Staff..........................2 Plate Skirts.................2 Warrior RingsVerac: 1 Helm, 3 Tops, 2 Skirts, 1 Flail..........................1 Med........................1 Archer RingGuthan: 2 Helm, 5 Tops, 1 Skirt, 0 Spear.....................1 Shield Half.................1 Seers RingTorag: 2 Helms, 2 Tops, 5 Legs, 1 Hammer....................4 Hatchets..................1 Missed Divine Sigil (was at bank -,- fml) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I dont think prayer is exactly vital; if you go near the dark beasts you've sort've gone the wrong way. They r easy to avoid.I mean when I did the quest I spent around 5 hours solving the puzzle (guide free) simialr combat stats to you if not lower. Used guthans and sharks and I only had to bail out to bank about every 45 minutes or so.Using a guide you culd easly get thru shadows prayer free on 1 load of food, possibly 2. If you do want to go the prayer route tht outfit seems perfectly reasonable Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 As others have stated you could try tanking it in Guthans. Prayer isn't exactly 'necessary', although if you want to do it, go for it. Those shadows did hit hard even on my 99 Defence. :razz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saunamajuri Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 That setup seems fine to me. Don't forget to rotate the final mirror to point back at the door once you leave. I forgot and had to do the last step all over again. "An Amateur practices until he can get it right. A Professional practices until he can't get it wrong." Quests just keep bringing me back to this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifflin Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I would recommend an ancient mace as a spec weapon, the spec restores prayer, and monk robes, as light weight is important. Boots of lightness and a spottier cape as well will be more helpful. Really, you don't need to pray a lot. Also, you shouldn't need to bank, bring a bunyip or two and baskets of strawberries + agility pies for food. An energy potion and 4 or so prayer potions. Really, you won't even need it all if you use a guide. Edit: Since you can't use a bunyip bring a terrorbird and extra pouch. Fill it with baskets of strawberries. Edit2: The reason prayer gear after a point stops being good is becuase it has diminishing returns. 5 more bonus when you're already +30 actually gives less then when you're at 0. This is why it's okay to have a prayer bonus around 25-30. An extra prayer potion will give you longer pray time then that extra prayer bonus. PM me in game anytime It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet. That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying.

Neohero1972 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hi Thank you all for replying. Since I'm such a woos then I'll stick to the setup I have initially chosen atleast the first time I venture down there. If I later feel that the setup is a bit of an overkill setup then I can always "downgrade". Now I'm looking forward to start the quest and see how it goes... Once again; thank you all for your comments. Adventurer's Log for Neohero1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifflin Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 My comments aren't a downgrade. They are an upgrade. The lower weight will help you more then the prayer bonus. If you're unwilling to take advice there isn't much point in posting in an H&A forum. PM me in game anytime It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet.

epitaph_o Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Good luck, I cannot imagine trying to do that quest without a guide as it took me about 3 hours following every step and making no mistakes. I just used torag's body and verac's skirt and tanked most of the hits, although I do remember having to bank once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're unwilling to take advice there isn't much point in posting in an H&A forum. Easy now - please don't take any offence ! I didn't mean that your suggestion was a downgrade (would you be so kind as to read my previous post again) - I was replying to all in this thread ! Anyway, since my last post I had a more careful look at the Ancient Mace which you suggested and have decided to use that one instead of the Dragon Mace due to its special ability.
