Tim's Inferno Guide

[Tim]

The long anticipated inferno has just been released, raising the level of PVM goals to the highest possible level. Beating the inferno took me countless tries and hours of practice on the boss. Since i now have a good insight on how the inferno should be done on Battlescape i feel like it would be one of the most useful guides around.

Since the inferno is one of the hardest challenges out here, only the best gear will do.

Inventory:

• Ranged armour (Armadyl + Anguish) & weaponry (Blowpipe + Twisted bow)
• 11 restores
• 9 brews
• 1 ranged potion (For boss)
• 1 stamina potion (For bats)
• Rune pouch filled with: Soul runes, blood runes, death runes

Budget inventory:

• Ranged armour (Karils + Anguish) & weaponry (Blowpipe + Crossbow)
• Ruby bolts
• 9 restores
• 8 brews
• 1 ranged potion (For boss)

• Eternal boots
• Kodai wand (BIS magic + ability to autocast ancients)
• Elysian spirit shield (Amazing bonusses, prayer+defence)
• Barrows gloves
• Ring of suffering (Defence bonusses, prayer bonus)
• Occult necklace (BIS magic)
• Ardougne max cloak 4 (Max cape works as ava's + great magic/prayer bonusses)

Budget setup:

There are new monsters encountered in the Inferno. Several of these monsters are similar to Fight Caves counterpart, while others are completely new. To make the monsters a bit better to separate i am going to use the simplified names:

• Nibbler = Jal-Nib
• Bat = Jal-MejRah
• Blob = Jal-Ak
• Melee = Jal-Imkot
• Ranger = Jal-Xil
• Mager = Jal-Zek
• Jad = Jaltok-Jad
• Boss = Tzkal-Zuk
• Boss healer = Jal-Mejjaks

85	Jal-MejRah		25	Range	19	Melee	Drains 4 run energy each hit
165	Jak-Ak		40	Range, Magic	29	Melee, Range	Spawns 3 Mini monsters after death, one for each combat style
240	Jal-ImKot		75	Melee	49	Magic	Digs and pops up near you if they are not attacked for a while
370	Jal-Xil		130	Range	46	Melee	-
490	Jal-Zek		220	Magic	70	Range	Can respawn any monster from the same wave with half hp when in combat

[Tim]

The inferno is done by the use of pilars to safespot certain monsters. I suggest using the North-Eastern pillar, since it has the most safespot potentional. Stand North of the pillar in the Middle square for the best start.

North-Eastern pillar:
Use this pillar in combination with the safespot lines to complete all waves untill 66



Safespot lines:
Standing inbetween these yellow lines will prevent you from getting hit. Its a 3 x 3 tile system surrounding the pillar.



Safespot scenario's:

As the spawn locations of each monster are always different, you can have "good" and "bad" spawns. In this section i will be listing possible scenarios with their solution.

Spoiler for Scenario 1:

Scenario 1:
One monster east of pillar, other spawn around pillar
1. Kill B
2. Kill A

Spoiler for Scenario 2:

Scenario 2:
If one of the monsters is a melee, kill it first (easily safespotted)
If not kill the ranger first, then proceed to move to a safer location in case mager respawns ranger.

Spoiler for Scenario 3:

Scenario 3:
B can be killed safely from the tile you are standing on. Kill A after.

Spoiler for Scenario 4:

Scenario 4:
Ranger and mager behind eachother
Run to location shown on picture, stay on furthest possible tile. Kill A first then B. Running to this tile will make it safe to kill the closest monster and will keep you out of range from the furthest one.

Spoiler for Scenario 5:

Scenario 5:
Ranger/Mager on eastern side of pillar, other one on the western side.
Kill B first, to be safe from A stay within the 3x3 squares which are marked in yellow.

Spoiler for Scenario 6:

Scenario 6:
Probably the easiest scenario. Maging from the middle tile of the 3 from the pillar will be safe. Kill A first then B

Spoiler for Scenario 7:

Scenario 7:
Probably the hardest scenario, you will take hits. Ranger/mager is spawned so they can attack you both. Move to middle tile from pillar as shown in picture. Proceed to kill A then kill B.

Use these tactics until you reach wave 67, where the first Jad will spawn.

Additional wave info:

66: Realistically one of the last waves you might take damage before boss. Bring both magers to low hp before killing them, otherwise they will respawn eachother using their special attack. Pillars will break after this wave, move away of them otherwise you take major damage.

67: First Jad, kill it same way you killed regular jad.

68: Triple Jad's, Focus on prayer. If you are using a twisted bow you don't need to aggro on the healers, as you can outhit them. As you have the chance to master this wave in practice mode i suggest doing it until you never fail it. On final Jad i suggest using blood barrage to heal to full and to fully prepare for boss.

69: Boss; Stay behind the shield at all cost, rather do one less hit on the boss then die to a boss attack.
Stay on boss safe tiles at each side, which are 4 tiles from the edge (see images)

• After first shield rotation (from left to right to left), the first mage and ranger set will spawn. Grab aggro on them as soon as possible to prevent the shield taking damage and dying in a later stage. Kill ranger first with BP then kill the mager.
• Damage Boss until Jad spawns (480 hp). Kill jad by rotating camera into his sight. If you are using a twisted bow you cannot range it from the safe tile from boss on the Western side (see picture)

• If you have killed Jad i'd say you are past the hardest part.
• Damage boss untill ~300 HP, then wait for second set from mage/range to spawn. Proceed to kill them the same way you did at the first set.
• When having killed the second set proceed to kill boss, healers will spawn at 240 hp
• Grab aggro on healers with BP, proceed to stay behind shield and kill healers. Rather miss a hit on a healer then take a hit from the boss.
• When killed the healers damage boss as much as possible.
• If not killed fast enough boss will spawn a third set of mage/range. Kill one of them, if boss is low and you have plenty of supplies i suggest damaging boss after you are 'safe' by having killed either one of the mage/range.

General remarks:

• Only attempt the real runs when you can do boss easily in practice mode, and don't die on it. Otherwise it is a waste of time.
• Try healing up with Blood barrage/BP after every wave.
• Don't be afraid to drink a brew/restore during regular waves. You won't be needing loads of food if you start to master waves.
• Don't be greedy at the boss, i suggest doing 4 hits each side is the ideal balance between safety and DPS.
• If done correctly a boss run will take about 4-6 doses of restore, and 4 dosis of brews.
• You will fail countless times doing the runs/boss. Try to learn from every death. I suggest using a video tool to film your waves and to analize your death. If done correctly a boss run should look something like this:
  

Thanks:
Huge thanks to London for helping me with some bad ass graphics and by providing some of the screenshots used.

As this guide has taken me a couple days to make i hope it will prove useful for you all. Please let me know if you have successfully completed the inferno due to this guide. If you have any additions, questions or suggestions for this guide please let me know.
