Can I kill Nomad?

[PumpkinPete112]

With my current skills will I be able to kill Nomad? I have about 1mil to spend on food/pots/equipment

What I have for equipment:

Melee:

Neiz Helm

Verac's Body/skirt

Dragon Defender

Whip/Korasi's

Barrows Gloves

Dragon Boots

[Powerfrog]

Yes. Use black dhide body and legs though, as Nomad's attacks are magic based.

 

You should try borrow a bandos god sword as it's special can drain Nomad's defense by a lot which makes the whole fight a little easier.

 

Nomad IS weak to stab, but you should use whip anyway as it just has much better stats than the korasi and will hit better even on the greater defense. (Especially after a nice BGS special)

 

Your inventory should be: 2 saradomin brews, 2 super restores, 1 super attack, 1 super strength, spirit kyatt pouch, 100 ambush scrolls, BGS, 19 rocktails

Bring a summoned spirit terrorbird with 12 rocktails inside it. Halfway through the fight, take these rocktails out of the bird when you need them and dismiss the bird. Now summon the kyatt and use it's special move over and over. (Recommended to set special move as left click so you can click it often without having to concentrate.)

 

Turn auto retaliate OFF during the fight as it can make you run into mines or behind the pillar and kill you. When nomad lays mines, run through the gap and hide behind a pillar. Nomad will run next to the pillar and stop, not being able to reach you, quickly attack him. (If you wait too long he will restart with full hp!) Now when he teleports back to the middle and mentions dodging something, hide back behind the pillar. His attack will hit the pillar and miss you. This attack does 750 damage before soak, so it's a good thing you dodged it! Go back to fighting him as soon as it hits the pillar. The next stage he will split into 4 parts, they all attack you at different speeds and the one that attacks last of the 4 is the real nomad. Hit him and the other 3 will disappear instantly. After this stage Nomad will teleport you to the centre of the arena and freeze you. Make sure you eat to your max hp for this part as it does your lifepoints -1 damage. (Etc 99hp, the attack will hit 989. Even if you brew or rocktail it's still only 989.) as soon as you see the damage hit you, eat back up to full using rocktail brews and go back to attacking him. From this point he will just cycle his special attacks in the order above, you know what to do. Keep it up and he should be dead in no time.

 

 

Sorry if that was a bit too much info. A freind of mine asked for a 'guide' from me recently so i already had most of this typed out. Hope you find it helpful.

You could swap out rocktails for brews with restores (1 restore per brew), it might work out as you don't have 90+ melees (or 90+ defence and hitpoints).

Thats an option but without overloads this will mean your stats will constantly be 99 or lower. This will make the fight much longer than it needs to be and overall might even be worse, you can last longer sure, but the time saved could be used to do more damage.

 

I hear dominion markers work like mini ovls with brews. I'm not sure how they work but if they're similar to overloads, that with brews would probably be the best option for dealing the most damage before dieing. (Although i'm confident it should be easy with rocktails. And cheaper. And faster.)

Wow thanks for such an indepth guide. I forgot to add my range gear, but i have Karil's so I will wear that. Now I just gotta grind this horrible skill called hunting :(

I wouls say yes, but to make it easier i reccomend 80-85+ stats

[Quyneax]

I would recommend using brews over rocktails. It's not great because you do suffer from lowered stats, but the doubled healing per inventory space makes up for it.

 

If you find you can't beat him with melee, you can also try ranging with ruby bolts.
