Glacors

[The_Fray]

These really aren't that hard but I am struggling to kill them. Having to watch multiple things at once is very very frustrating. I don't quite know what I am going to gain from this topic but I can kill them relatively fast but I lose a lot of health and my ss flashing really stinks. I finally learnt to avoid the spikes attack but its like facing Jad again except I have to watch the stupid unstable explode every single time. My attempts at ss flashing are also not going to well, maybe its because I am not standing far enough but this seems like a very challenging boss monster. I bring brews with me, and every single time I go through them so fast. I can easily handle the glacor but watching health and prayer including the glacor's attack as well as the unstable means I end up taking more damage than I should. Maybe this is a rant but anyone have the same experience as me. Maybe they are just not for me. Anyone have any tips for me? Maybe they will get better as I gain more experience but right now I am not a fan.

What exactly are you asking for?

What exactly are you asking for?

Yeah I still don't quite know, maybe some tips to make the experience easier. But I am not sure whether I will even master it even with practice. You can call it a bit of a rant but I was looking for a few tips as well lol. Would prayer renewals be better since I wont have to pay too much attention to prayer as I tend to forget to look at prayer. Then again I am still not sure whether those would make a difference.

One thing you could do for the first 50 or so kills is to attack the enduring and then run behind a block so that the Glacor can't get to you. Then you'll have all 3 on you and you can get use to dodging the unstable / using F keys / using titan (if you do and you should at 95+ summoning). Slowly work your way into not hiding behind the rock, but make sure that your close to where you could potentially run behind a block if you get into a near death situation.

 

Eventually you need to get used to not using a block at all. DO NOT get over used to the block because this is going to bring you down at least 20% of your potential kills per hour.

 

I had the same problem as you and died multiple times my first first day (I think I counted 7) it's just something you have to get used to and eventually it will be second nature.

There will be others with more experience that will be able to give extremely useful tips, especially regarding SS switching, but none the less:-

 

- Remembering that Glacor hits aren't 'determined' until the hit reaches you, you do have time to switch prayers, so I keep my prayer tab open until it is necessary to use my inventory tab (either for food, for re-overloading or to switch weapons for the glacites). Bearing this in mind, you will always have 2 prayer tickers on the screen to keep you reminded of time to prayer. While PR potions are useful, you mind find you need to bring some extra pots (either plain or super prayers) to top up in 'emergencies' if you are to use them. Personally, I use super prayers, but that is mainly on account of having several hundred in my bank that are seldom used.

 

- I lure glacites away from the glacor using fire surge, then switch to melee to kill them. It is possible to find "safe" spots in which you can stand, melee the glacites (with pro-melee if necessary, I use it because I'm using low-defence gear and I find I get hit a little much for my liking) without having to worry about the attack of the glacor

Do you kill the glacors right next to the ring or is there is a better spot which enables easy access to a safe spot. I also tend to get hit significantly in ahrims. The biggest problem for me though is getting away from the unstable while maintaining a safe spot so that glacor doesn't attack me. The reason I take a lot of damage is because I switch to protect meelee and then getting away from the unstable leads to the glacor getting an attack in, after which I totally panic and mess up.

The Glacor to the west of the ring is good to safe spot, you use the rock that is kinda north east of it, or north west of the ring. I lure the enduring, run to the top square on the east of the rock, disable fire surge, wield whip and by that time the unstable is coming close to exploding. I then run west a few squares, making sure the unstable is inline with the rock to the east. By doing this it ensures the glacor can't get me. It helps if you wait for the unstable to come to you after it's exploded.

 

I also died frequently there when i began killing them, and i still die occasionly.
