Horror From the Deep as a pure (prayer related)

[Vendekaert]

I am making a 1 defence pure and want to do Horror From the Deep as early as possible since the book will help me train ranged faster. However, I'm unsure what level prayer i would need to do it. The tip.it guide says 40 prayer would be very useful. My stats so far:

 

Attack 39

Strength 10

Constitution 35

Ranged 45

Magic 55

Prayer 12

 

Obviously I will train my melee skills before trying the quest.

 

Can I do it without level 40 prayer? If not, what quests should I do to get the levels? I am hesitant to train prayer because I might get too much xp because of quests later on.

I just did this quest yesterday. If you pray range he won't hit you, but if you don't pray range he will, and he seemed to hit pretty hard. It may still be possible without 40 prayer though.

If you get around 60 magic and range and just skip the melee part then the spells and range seemed to hit very high on him. with brews and recoils I would say it's possible.

I did it with 1 pray 1 melees, ~60 range and ~60 mage. its definitely possible with your stats.
