Fight kiln

[godwisper]

I get trashed...heard it is an easy task to get the cape but not for me and I am maxed 200 combat

 

tried yesterday with obsidian melee armour, drygores mace and oh rapier, royal cbow switch and iron titan.... did not pass level 20 and was literally out of food few levels before...

 

any suggestions ?

[Tansuo]

There is next to no point taking an iron titan - combat familiars are useless. Take a pack yak instead if you are having trouble with food.

You'll want a mage switch too (ice barrage is your best bet) as it's the easiest way to deal with Jads.

Every wave has the same spawn, so as long as you know what's coming up next, you can eliminate everything with ease.

For 99% of the waves, soulsplit is the only overhead you should need. For Jad's, you will NEED to change prayer from mage to range protect and vice versa (if you aren't sure on the attacks, look up a video explanation). Jads are on waves 10,20,30,35 and 36 (two on wave 36). There are specific lures for each wave that will ensure that Jad does not attack you as soon as the wave begins. Off the top of my head, for waves 10, 20,30 and 36 you will need to stand on the north east side of the centre rock. For wave 35, stand on the west side, directly in line with the central rock. I will post a video which explains all.

You will need a pickaxe and/or dreadnips to deal with the Dill's on waves 5, 19 and 28.

 

These videos are pre-eoc, but the strategies are still correct if you are having trouble. Don't pay attention to the gear - Obsidian is the best gear to use.

I'm fairly experienced at Kiln, so when I do it I don't take a ranged switch and I melee (drygore) both the mage and range monsters, maging the melee's and Jads. My invent consists of very few food, and I use a bunyip. Almost all of my healing comes from Soulsplit, but occasionally I use Restoration crystals (waves 3,15 and 27) and I take invulnerability crystals as I go (useful on wave 28 and if you come into trouble with Jads. The crystals spawn on waves 10,13 and 25.

Wave 35, the trickiest wave in the whole thing

Wave 28 - starts at 3:30.

Best of luck.

The essence of fight kiln from my experience

 

1) Use weaknesses - Especially if you are using obsidian which makes tribriding super easy (change helm and weapon). I used polypore with ice mage, chaotic maul and ccbs.

2) If you are only going to single style or hybrid melee is the one to leave out as more are range or mage weak and/or easier with safe spots, just my opinion. Pros could probably do other ways but the weaknesses and safespot-ness favours range and mage for the less seasoned.

3) Learn where to stand for each wave to make loads of stuff safespottable.

 

I did it post-eoc tribriding in obsidian with a mess up on 1 jad and 2 dils and I'm not even that good at pvm and it walked it to the point har-aken was more zzzzzz when will this end than a real challenege.

[godwisper]

thanks to all for the tips...was going to ask infact if I should take melee or mage helm or both. Will try again taking bunyip instead of iron titan and virtus wand and book besides the drygores.

[chenw]

it is highly recommended you bring all 3 styles, and make use of crystals on the field.

[godwisper]

tried with mage and I arrived at level 20...need to see tactics for JAD as he is owning me

[Tansuo]

Jad you need to get your prayer switches right. If you don't, he will tear you apart.

In essence, when he dips and rears back onto his hind legs, he will mage you. When he rises then slams the ground, he will range you. You need to get your prayers right, so learning what attack animation means what is key.

 

You can see his attacks here.

The Crystals aren't as important as they once were. The invulnerability and restoration are still as useful, the constitution one too perhaps, but the others not so much as they severely limit your capabilities to hybrid (you'll likely use a crystal then find that you progress through the waves far too quickly, thus it hinders you later on). The only time I'd say it would perhaps be beneficial to use the Magic crystak during the Jad on wave 20, subsequently maging waves 21-24 (or 23, I forget).

[Ammako]

When I reached the double Jad wave, I still had like 3 invulnerability crystals and some restoration crystals, so I just popped on an invulnerability one: baby mode Jad

Then when it runs out during Har-Aken, activate another one (although it seemed Har-Aken was so easy that you probably won't need any crystals there.)

 

Restoration crystals are pretty useful for when you end up in a bad spot and Soul Split doesn't keep up with the damage you take, but considering you're using Obsidian armour, you normally shouldn't get in those kinds of situations.

 

What makes you run out of food before wave 20 exactly? You should be standing in the right spots when each wave starts to limit the damage taken. RS Wiki has a nice guide for that.

grrr was level 27 ...had to teleport out for system update :)

 

am using only mage so will leave drygores home next trip

[Ammako]

Doesn't logging out during a wave at Kiln allow you to resume from where you left off?

Just letting you know, kiln has 55% damage reduction against anything they are not weak against (so rangers will take only 45% damage from magic and ranged, but full from melee).

[Ammako]

Wouldn't the dills be very tricky with 100% maging?

[Sy_Accursed]

Dils are crush weak whilst armoured, water weak once opened

[godwisper]

Postponed for tomorrow :) died level 36... Most probably was on wrong spot and panicked

[chenw]

Double jad wave? The spot is the same as every other jad wave, except for the wave before this one.

 

Wouldn't the dills be very tricky with 100% maging?

Well we can assume that he uses a pickaxe, or else 100% maging (or anything for that matter) won't be able to touch dills.

[Ammako]

Well Dreadnips can kill the Dills.

[Tansuo]

Well Dreadnips can kill the Dills.

 

Very, very, very slowly.

[godwisper]

Thanks guys.......I did it :)

[Tansuo]

Congratulations :) Don't lose the cape!

[shasta_sms]

This thread made me get off my ass and get the cape too.

 

 

Got it first try ;)

[chenw]

Any idea how long did it take for each of you?

[shasta_sms]

It took me a little over 2 hours, I had used the nips instead of bothering with a pickaxe. I would just suggest using a pick and them instead of just the nips alone. Nips alone drag that one dill wave for awhile.

[chenw]

Just wanted to check the time, I used to do kiln at a rate of 1 per hour before the obsidian armor update #2 (one where they nerfed it back to t60 and gave a huge damage reduction against tzhaar creatures), which does not include a number of things that speed it up, such as continuously keeping Overload/renewal, or using 95 curses, or adrenaline stalling.

 

Gonna try one this weekend.

[Tansuo]

I did a kiln earlier in 40 minutes. Went fairly casually, so I could have shaved a few minutes off.

[godwisper]

I think it took me 45 minutes too with obby mage armour and virtus wand and book and obviously a rune pick axe
