step 1. unequip your sceptre. kicking stuff is the way to go when you start and don't have a weapon frame.
step 2. it's collection time. open the room on the opposite side of the entrance from the boss. continue in this direction away from the boss to the outskirt of the map.
step 3. collect 9 ores, 9 cottons, 9 barks. 1 herb, and 2 weapon racks (obtained from killing monsters). then return to the base via teleport crystal. remember you need lots of shards to make your armor. a great source of shards is by killimg a unicorn. it's crafting time.
step 4. create a vial, a teleport crystal, and a tier 2 bow/staff/halberd. this depends on if you see a demiboss. dark beast = bowstring; dragon = staff; bear = halberd. if you see one of these when you're searching for your minerals, then that's what you create.
step 5. find the first or second demiboss. kill them. collect the items, and along the way, catch some fish. you need at least 12, but you can get a full inventory if you're fast enough.
step 6. it's boss time. craft your armor if you haven't already (tier 2), and make sure you have 2 weapons. add water to the vial using the pump in the lobby, and use an herb on it. use a pestle and mortar on 10 shards to make 10 dust, and add it to the potion. this potion works similarly to a stamina potion combined with a prayer potion -- so you should make this earlier in the run. cook all of your fish. go in.
the boss attacks every 5-ticks. it always starts with range. every 4 boss attacks, it will switch between magic or range. when it mages you, it can turn off your prayers. this counts as 1 attack.
every 5 attacks you make, the boss will switch prayers. switch weapons accordingly.
if it stomps the ground, it will spawn tornadoes. this counts as 1 attack. make sure to keep running away from the tornadoes. you can run THROUGH the tornadoes and not take damage. you can woox walk with a halberd in order to not take dmg from the tornadoes & dps at the same time, but i'd advise just eating high and trying not to die if it's your first time.
when the boss melees you by rising onto its heels and stomping onto you, this does not count as an attack.
avoid the glowing tiles. when they change color, they'll damage you.
once you understand the boss battle, you can replace your tier 2 armor with tier 1 armor.
try not to eat too much during the fight. the boss used to max a 20 through prayer, so try and stay between 20 and 50 hitpoints the entire time so you can continue dpsing the boss.
if the boss hits you without the correct prayers on, it can hit in the 40s, and i heard they made him more accurate this morning.
good luck! world record run = naked with 2 tier 2 weapons and a lot of rng.
SHARDS
20 shards for tier 1 item
60 shards to upgrade a tier 1 item to a tier 2 item
0 shards to upgrade a tier 2 weapon to a tier 3 weapon with the correct secondary item
you need the sceptre to unlock other rooms, wtf
I'm at 40 kc and don't really fail.
what I do: open up rooms near base and see whats there. Goal is to get 500 shards and 12 of each resource.
Start by killing rats and spiders til you get a weapon frame and 80 shards, walk back to base, drop any resources you've gathered, and move to the outer ring
kill a dark beast and a bear, take their shit, and start trying to collect 12 of each resource. You also want to make 2 potions, so look out for herbs to collect
After you do that, get t3 chest, t2 helm, t2 legs, and go fishing if you haven't already
then go boss fight
I normally have about 2 minutes to spare, you should easily be able to grab full inv of fish, 2 pots, and 2 fully upgraded weapons.
Also, make sure you're dropping shit you don't need. After you make potions, the pestle and mortar is useless. After you get 12 wood or 12 ore, the hatchet/pick are useless, and those are inv spaces that can go to collecting other shit
