Guide to Soloing the Chaos Elemental Lime Mercury So, I hear you guys want dragon 2hs. No way to solo the kq anymore. I hear there's a big badass monster deep in the wild you can get it off of. A lvl 305 monster. One that can teleport your [wagon] wherever it wants. Can take off your armor and weapons and leaving you kicking and punching the air. So, how can this lvl 112 solo it enough times to land up the newest weapon in the game? Let's find out. Now, before you start drooling "AMAGAWD DRAGON 2H LOLZZZZ", here's what you need to have to make it even remotely useful to try. Balls of steel 86 mage 70 range 40 prayer 80 hp (if you happen to be setting up the cannon while you're being attacked, you can take 60 damage without being able to eat) The 86 mage is for Annakarl Teleport, to the greater demon area. You'll need a magic pot if your magic is 86. Mine is 87, so I use a Mind Bomb. It's cheaper. Here's what your inventory should look like. You can substitute prayer pots for the super restores, I just happen to have more super restores, so I use those. The first is your gear. A helmet is optional, I prefer not to be wearing an archer's helmet if I'm holding a dagger. I've considered bringing a bow and arrows to up my range attack, I prefer the dagger personally to ward off some people that like to crowd me or if I get a rogue on me every once in a while. The second is your initial inventory. You will only need to bring the cannon once, unless it decays. You'll have ample time if you keep a move on. The third is your inventory after you have set up the cannon. Where do you set up the cannon? You can set it up first if you'd like. It doesn't make much of a difference, though I usually set it up right away, I end up taking less damage. The edge of the fence is the key. If you move two squares directly south of the spear wall's end, youll have ample room for your cannon. It should be three squares south and 1 square west from where I'm standing in the picture. The squares highlited in blue are ones that are safe when the Chaos Elemental is in the area I've circled in green. To get the chaos elemental where you want him is the trick. He will usually be in the area I've taken on the map, so here's what you do. Go as far west as necessary to make sure he won't get stuck in the trees at the rogue castle wall, then pull him south just far enough to get stuck in the area I've circled. Then run towards the safe squares (through his teleports, just make sure you make it there) and set the cannon to fire as you go through. I've found protect from range and protect from mage to be equally effective. I protect from range when I'm going to put more ammo in, since i'm in dragonhide and have the mage defense bonus. Try to keep the cannon from depleting its ammo, since it takes two clicks rather than one if you have an empty cannon, one to reload, one to fire. Range potting once you're in the safe squares is a good idea, you'll hit more. Lots of the kills are crap, get used to it. And eventually Some problems: 1. The chaos elemental is IN the rogues area! HELP ITS KILLING ME!!! There is a hut on the west end of the castle area. Put your cannon as close to the hut as you can, then run in and close the door. Open the door, run out, reload, run in, close the door, and continue to slay it until it's done. 2. The chaos elemental went around the trees now its coming at the entrance to the castle! Get the wall between you and the CE. There is a good chance your cannon will be able to fire at it twice per round in this location. The bad news is your cannon depletes twice as fast and you'll be making trips quicker. Yeah. So... if you copy this at least give me credit. <_< so there's this thread in p2p general called "the most annoying things ppl do on runescape" i am tempted to post "ya wen im cybering with a girl and they log off for no reason" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lime_Mercury Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 how many trips this take you? how many minutes/ hours? It took most of my playing time this weekend, learning and developing the strategy, then dealing with things like newbs running out there, people attempting to pk me, and such. How many times to get the 2H? I've killed 60+ and didn't get one. About as many as you've killed, I've killed. I use ring of wealth, not sure if you do or don't. so there's this thread in p2p general called "the most annoying things ppl do on runescape" i am tempted to post "ya wen im cybering with a girl and they log off for no reason" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your the only person there. Edit again: Kinda annoying how my cannon keeps shooting at the rogues in the castle and at the GDS, wasting heaps of ammo, its pissing me off.

Leesters Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Can you really set up the cannon, leave it, and come back? Was I reading that right? A circus in Runescape?? Oh my. REMEMBER RUNESCAPE KARMA!

Mmm000_Cow Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Can you really set up the cannon, leave it, and come back? Was I reading that right? you can do that anywhere. it just decays every half hour to an hour so pick it up and reset it in between kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch_umz Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yeah, don't let it decay, and once you set it down, you will never be able to lose you cannon(money) if you die, it will decay eventually, but thats not the point, it will be obtainable from the Dwarf guy, i have used cannons on the King Dags, i die, i get cannon back for free :P El Psy Congroo.

oddfaery2 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 maybe it's just me, but if I went out there with friends and saw a person with a cannon, we surely wouldn't be letting them stick around to enjoy the drops. Keep in mind people that cannon pieces will pretty much protect over everything, so if you're going to to do this, make sure if you start to get attacked that you do NOT pick up your cannon.
