Welcome to Keiga's High Level Guide to Corporeal Beast!Introduction:
This guide will be broken down into two parts. A Damage Per Second section, and a Tank section. Credits go to
Evolutionz for the Tank portion of the guide.
Lets start with the minimum requirements. The only requirement is you must have completed the quest "Summers End".
It is recommended you have 90+ All Combat stats, and curses/overloads unlocked.
How to get there: The easiest, and fastest way of getting there is teleporting with the Games Necklace. Once you've teleported, run directly east.
Damage Per Second(DPS)The Equipment, Inventory, and Abilities:
Helm: Void Melee Helm > Torva Helmet > Bandos Helmet > Ganodermic Visor

Legs: Void Bottom > Torva Platelegs > Bandos Tassets > Ganodermic Leggings

Abilities to use: Use your abilities in order as they appear up to 5. Use Slice after every other ability. Activate Berserk as soon as possible, then Assault while Berserk is active.
Prayers: Use Turmoil at all times. You can turn Soul Split on when you need to eat. No other prayers are needed.
When Duoing, you need very little food. In a group of 3 or more, you need no food what so ever. The main thing about doing Corporeal Beast is your Tank. Speaking of which, lets move on.
The Tank:This is the only hard part of the Corporeal Beast.
The following is written by Evolutionz.:
Recommended stats:
90+ Attack, Strength, and Defense; Defense is a priority
80+ Magic; Bloodfire blitz
90+ Prayer
96 Herblore(Overload); Optional
The equipment, inventory, and abilities:
PS! BEFORE TANKING, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE INCITE TURNED ON!
Overloads can be used, but not needed. Why? Tank =/= dps.
You can use alternate equipment, here is a list of alternate items you could use:
Helm: Virtus mask > Ganodermic visor > Hood of Subjugation
Body: Virtus robe top > Ganodermic poncho > Garb of Subjugation
Legs: Virtus robe legs > Ganodermic leggings > Gown of Subjugation
Weapon: MH Drygore Rapier > MH Chaotic Rapier OR Virtus wand > Ahrim's wand
Offhand: Chaotic Shields > Best shield You can wield > Spirit Shields
Boots: Virtus boots > Ragefire boots > Ganodermic boots
Gloves: Virtus gloves > Ganodermic gloves > Culinomancer's gloves 10
Aura: Penance aura > Reverence aura (any tier)
Cape: Completionist's cape > Max cape > Skill cape(any) > Tokhaar-kal > Soulwars cape
Amulet: Demon horn necklace > Amulet of Fury OR Arcane Stream necklace
Ring: Ring of wealth > Onyx (i) ring
Ammo: Runes for Bloodfire Blitz
Familiar: None
Personally, I do not like to use Spirit shields when tanking. Unnecessary prayer sink.
Superior Sea singer's set is probably a viable option, but since I have yet to get my hands on it, I can't tell much about it.
Barrows gear is not advised, unless really-really poor. You will rage if you have to repair it every time you die.
I go with melee when small groups and mage when large for obvious reasons; you don't want your team to get splashed.
Strategy:
Turn Protect from Magic on. Provoke as much as possible. LEARN YOUR ABILITIES. Dodge the core; 2 squares is enough. Use Barricade when full lp to save it OR if possible, whenever core jumps on you, use Barricade, read to 10, then step away. You can tank core for 10 seconds. Use rejuvenate ONLY when Resonance is on CD (Resonance -> Preparation, always).
----------------------------
The Corporeal Beast has the Highest Valued drops, one of which being the Divine Sigil. It is rarely crowded, so you have small chances to be crashed. Hope this helps
