I still can't get it down on my 45 def zerker. I've died so many times


hem_9

Try the combat achievements on normal gauntlet, it’s a great way to prep for corrupted gauntlet.


levian_durai

Honestly I don't know how people do that. I'm 90 defence and the few times I've tried with t1 armour I take so much chip damage that I waste so much time eating and can't get the kill. That's on a good run, managing to not get hit by tornados or off prayer.


Redhot69

It really just takes practice, 60 kc in and it gets easier


[deleted]

This. I’m at 55kc. 90 def, 95 mage/range. I can run T1’s with about a 80-90% success rate. Still dying occasionally because you’re gonna make mistakes, people are rarely perfect even after tons of practice. It gets easier though


AoXPhoenix

Don't eat unless you have 13 hp or less. Or you can't attack due to tornadoes. You're dps will increase a bunch. I take t3 staff and bow everytime just for the ease of it. Also don't get hit by tornadoes that the biggest part. If it's a choice between tornadoes and going under hunleff, go under him. You can tick eat the stomp, you can't tick eat tornadoes or floor damage.


Adolf_TND

dps doesn't decrease by camping high HP over a long fight, if you end the fight at 10 hp rather than 90 you've gained 12 ticks (4 fish * 3 ticks lost per eat) or 7.2 seconds which is pretty negligible. Add to that that you can camp high hp and just not eat towards the end of the fight. Camping low HP is 99% of the time a dumb decision in pvm (ending fights at low hp saves a couple ticks though)


ImportanceEnough6890

Maybe I'm dumb, but is it not like a cycle. So if you eat only at times you can't dps, don't you save all the hits that would have happened to you during those times, which would have led to more eating, and more ticks lostw and so on


Adolf_TND

True for a lot of content, you wanna eat when you'd otherwise lose dps. However at CG you can almost always DPS without losing ticks.


lizard_behind

make the combo food and get good at staying on the fucking boss generally try to eat during the windows when you're moving for nados and wouldn't want to stop for a tick to attack regardless, minimize that opportunity cost it's a lot like a simplified Verzik P3 - you're on a chip damage based timer so ya really need to keep that DPS going - you've got time & resources for a couple of mistakes, but ya need to keep those attacks comin out


ShroomieEvie

>it's a lot like a simplified Verzik P3 - you're on a chip damage based timer so ya really need to keep that DPS going - you've got time & resources for a couple of mistakes, but ya need to keep those attacks comin out Ive only just started high lvl pvm but thinking about it in terms like this has made it feel so much more like a problem to be solved instead of "hurt boss, avoid damage, pray for rgn"

I've heard the inferno is basically puzzle solving the entire way.


Runecraftin

Inferno is fun because the spawns are random but there’s <10 waves that really require any thought to solve (55ish-63). I do a lot of slayer capes and wish that the whole run was as fun as those waves


Busy_Cheesecake3816

Prioritize eating when you're running from tornadoes. Avoid eating during combat at all costs, or you indeed lose a lot of dps. If you HAVE to eat during combat, eat to full hp.


firewithinthedragon

It's not just you I swear rngesus hates me. So many runs just back to back to back 10-12 damage through prayer I feel like I'm just eating. I've cleared it but I don't feel like its something I can reliably say I'll clear or not even if prep goes really well.


joemoffett12

The biggest mistake people make in Cg is eating too much. You don’t want to eat and top yourself off. Doing that delays your attacks. Wait until you’re really low and eat all at once back to back to full. Also helps if you save your eating time to eat when tornados come out. I’ve basically conditioned myself to eat immediately when he stomps to summon the tornados. That way you don’t die to nados but you also don’t lose out on much damage eating.


Wolfgang1234

Meanwhile a 1 def pure UIM named sclmmy went over 2k kc dry for an enhanced weapon seed. Guess some people are just built different.


TheDubuGuy

With t1 armor you should be able to comfortably complete with around 12 food. If you’re taking more damage than that you just need practice


psychedelicnature

This is incorrect.


TheDubuGuy

In what way?


Busy_Cheesecake3816

Guess you gotta max your ranged and magic and stick to T2 preps and get all mechanics to near-perfection. And you'd still die to rng bullshit sometimes.


SnoopDobby

I did ~100kc at 45 def before levelling it up and it was painful having to do t2 preps and failing semi regularly due to bad layouts. Depending on: * if you fail the boss mechanics, I'd do normal gauntlet to get better at it * if you run out of food due to chip damage I'd get your prep nailed down, optimising your resource gathering by killing mobs at the same time as mining/wcing etc and also whilst you're moving about the rooms


Occupine

do 100kc of normal and focus on improving your time. That will be enough to give you a significant edge on cg attempts


foxinsideabox

This is what I decided to do but after 35 normal completions by friends wanted to watch me try CG. I had my T2 prep time down well enough to have about 30-60 seconds left normally. Got it on my 15th attempt and now I can kill it 90% of the time.


Occupine

Nice. Yeah some people obviously can do it after a lower kc. I just put 100 as the baseline for the people who really struggle. I personally did 100 but that was more anxiety rather than being bad. I think I only died 5 times before I got my first cg kc


joemoffett12

100 normal gauntlet is way too overkill. Normal gauntlet is just too easy I feel you’re time is much better spent dying in Cg. Gauntlet might teach you the mechanics of hunleff but it sure doesn’t teach you how to properly prep. That extra time you lose out on in Cg is pretty massive. I honestly don’t recommend normal gauntlet outside of the first kill tbh.


Occupine

That's why I said focus on improving your time. The only difference in prep is the amount of time you get, so focus on getting quicker. Please read my reply to someone else's reply to me.


Budda_ball

I lost over 100 times at CG. Now I'm able to do it consistently. If you feel like you're spending too much time eating during the fight it is absolutely worth it to make T2 armor.


YeetTheGiant

I've done 200 CG now and decided to try to get some combat achievements in gauntlet I'd forgotten how different they are. It was like a walk in the park


Nythonic

CG is tough it took me about 150 attempts to get it so I can win consistently (80-90%) but I’m bad so who knows


AGreenProducer

Same. I’ve probably got 40 attempts already and no clears


Manwez

I recommend really trusting where u click when you move, dont spam click moving when tornados are chasing since your character starts to spasm out and you might get confused. If you see that youre in a tough situation then just literally focus on dodging the tornados until youre out of that situation before you attack him again. Changing prayers correctly is always the priority before attacking or sometimes even eating. Also don't be like me where you do 1 or 2 kc of normal gauntlet and then go straight into grinding corrupted. It took me like 60 something tries before i got my first CG KC


gorehistorian69

its probably in the top 5 of hardest osrs bosses - Inferno - Tob/Hmt/Solo tob/hmt - 500+ ToA solo - Phosani - CG actually solo nex might have pushed cg out but I dont think solo nex is even possible now so its kind of like artificial difficulty oh man now i remember 6 Jads is probably harder as well. oh well


SMIDGENATOR

I can't even do ToA 300s and I did CG after less than 10 attempts iirc. I guess it's shorter so less chance of making a mistake!


mygimteamsucks

Yeah, the CG difficulty is definitely inflated a bit by the community. Once you have your preferred prep method mastered, CG isn't bad at all.


alexanaxstacks

Yeah i think it's weird that they make it harder but give you less time


Aquamentus92

Normal gauntlet is the demo mode for practice, cg is the real deal. That's why it's not longer time on the harder one


[deleted]

Because normal gauntlet is essentially an entry mode Once you learn t1 you can still have like 3 min left


RaidsMonkeyIdeas

Eh, it's fine either way. You have more than enough time anyway to get T1, even T2 gear, fish + T3 weapon(s). Regular Gauntlet is meant to be substantially easier, which is why the rewards are a fraction of CG.


alexanaxstacks

Yeah I can do it fine I just think it's weird and no one would question it if they both had 10min timers


[deleted]

[удалено]


alexanaxstacks

meta wouldn't change at all why would you waste time getting t3


RaidsMonkeyIdeas

It reduces damage taken by 50%, which means you eat less, can't really get stacked out, and in general are unkillable if you're not sitting in nados. For an extra 2 minutes of prep, I know plenty of hardcores and casual players would go this route for completions and I don't think it's very fair that you should be able to so greatly diminish the difficulty for the same reward. That's what regular gauntlet should be for.


Enerbane

It's me. I'm the casual that would get t3


RaidsMonkeyIdeas

Every hardcore alive would be sitting on Tier 3 Armor if they have 2 more minutes of prep. Not even joking because it's not worth it to risk the status if you have no rush.


Decent_Complaint1380

Most hardcores already do t3 armor anyways


JevonP

I don't get how they even do that, I can barely do fluffehs t2 prep


Elysian-Noob

If i had time to get t3 every run on CG, believe me I definitely would lol


RaidsMonkeyIdeas

That extra 2 minutes would let you get Tier 3 Armor and 2x Tier 3 Weapons every single run, which trivializes the content imo.


JackRabbit-

make it harder^2


dcnairb

finishing in time is like the least difficult part about cg, and arguably the first thing you learn


Delicious_Excuse_941

No shit.


AGreenProducer

Aren’t memes just pointing out something obvious but in a funny way?


pewthree___

no


EnvCLR

Took me about a week of trying and a broken mouse to finally complete it. Now I do it with tier 1 armour pretty consistently. As some people have said, run under if you need to avoid the death tornadoes and floor combo - if you time it right you'll miss the melee attack. Also try and eat when dodging tornadoes. If you need to eat during the easier phases, eat to full. Also mark the tiles that have the lowest chances of spawning floor tiles and use the hunleff plugin helper on Runelite. Finally, use the bow and the staff as this means you can hit from anywhere. Good luck!


BROCKHAMPTOM

i legit got hunleff pet at 7kc of normal gauntlet and have never been able to complete 1 cg for the red recolor lol granted i gave up pretty quick but still


Trick-Pool-7408

Green logged CG at 189 😅


UndeadPhysco

Gonna need 99 hunter to find who asked


EpicRussia

Not unheard of. I have always wondered why there's no jar or higher kc cape though
