First time Fight Kiln (overkill?)

[Cheefoo]

Shiny new armor. As good as Nex armor. Only works against Tzhaar monsters. Whatever. Looks nice. I want a matching cape. Fight Kiln. It's about time.

 

 

Only really have one question here. Should I bring a yak fulla brews/rocktails, or should I only bring a steel titan? I hear those "armadillos" are a pain in the ass, and titans make short work of them. Can I just deal with them with only a pickaxe for the first few times while my yak is out, then switch to steel titan later?

 

Is 12 doses of overloads enough? I don't think I have to worry about prayer much, seeing as penance aura is so good now, assuming it lasts me the whole kiln.

 

Maybe this is all a bit overkill, as I've seen people much lower level beat it no problem, but with the release of the EoC I just want to make sure. Does anyone know if it's faster now than it was before?

definitely bring a titan

 

12 doses might be enough, id bring 18 since its ur first try

It might be worth mentioning I got up to wave ~21 on my test run, using tier 70 armor and a couple of sharks. I forget how long it took. Maybe like ~25 minutes. I'm sure that would improve if I use overloads etc.

 

Would it be a waste entirely to bring a yak? Would I just end up dismissing it before I get to use its supplies?

I, too, will be attempting the Kiln soon for the very first time as well, using my newly obtained Obsidian armours. :razz:

 

Though, I haven't really watched any videos or done my homework with regards to the KIln yet. Though, I have spoken to a few people post-EOC and they seem to say it's about the same, if not faster than before.

 

Best of luck!

To be honest, since it's your first time, i would switch out the Maul for a Rapier or something, take a Shield, drop the Yak and take a Titan instead.

Kiln should take you 90 Minutes at most so 18 Doses of Ovl.

I'd take a Prayer Pot just incase.

Since you're using a shield and you'll have Rejuv the need for food will be minimized (which is why a steel titan would be better than a yak).

 

I've not done the Kiln post-eoc yet, but that's probably how i would go about things.

Kiln's a cakewalk now. It takes 45 minutes with steel titan, ovls, 95 prayers, momentum, polypore and water surge, black salamander and harralander, and veracs flail. Only thing that can KO you is Jad. Penance + SS makes it almost too easy. Don't even need luring/safespots anymore.

 

Keep in mind, however, that I haven't been back there since they made the fight caves harder. They didn't say anything about the fight kiln, so I'm assuming nothing's changed there.

 

Also, the constitution crystal keeps your LP at like 15K and constantly restores it for several minutes. In other words, all you need to kill the final boss is one constitution crystal.

 

All melee monsters are weak to water spells. Rangers weak to crush. Mages weak to bolts. Jad and final boss have no weaknesses.

First try. Took about ~60 minutes. I only ended up using about 5 rocktails, but I did get hit by a Jad once and got walloped by a few armadillos, so I bet I could've done it without food entirely.

 

I only used one crystal, invulnerability, on the double Jad wave, because I wanted to make sure I was only going to be attacked by one at a time. I kinda forgot all about the other crystals for the most part...
