What an awesome detailed guide. I really like the breakdown of the lightning phase based on weapon speeds and accounting for mistakes/whatnot. Legitimately one of the best OSRS guides I've seen (as a nerd who prefers technical guides with lots of information over basic 'how to' guides)
Thanks so much for the guide. It's a daunting task for a total noob just trying to get a quest cape. My advice for a total noob just trying to get a quest cape is: only weapon needed is a toxic blowpipe with dragon darts; it does decent damage and attacks so much faster than most other weapons (some recommedn the dragon crossbow, but for me it was just too slow). I'd do a blessed d'hide coif, black d'hide chaps and body, and snakeskin boots, plus a blessing and an amulet of fury if you can get one. This is cheap gear with okay stats, and this way if you die you will be able to get your stuff back from Death's office for very little cost (full blessed d'hide can cost up to 60k+ to retrieve from Death). I shadow blast him whenever he does his first orange attack, and then just plan on surviing 2-3 specials. I found zig-zagging during his rock throw special worked well, because that should put you in a position where the rocks will shield you from his awful blast.When he does his lightning special, just run a close range square around him like in the video; I didn't bother trying the back-and-forth trick. If you get caught, go the opposite way to avoid being perfectly wrong and always being in his blast radius. When he does his rage phase, to be honest I just prayed range and tanked the magic attacks, eating as needed, because there was just too much going on. I would say the chance of survival for at my level is about 60% doing this, so you may want to follow the video's advice at prioritizing prayer flick over attacking. I brought sharks and karambwan for quick healing, and also used a regular ranged potion (I didn't need divine) and a prayer potion to keep the prayer up. But that's just for a total noob trying to complete the fight for the quest. If you are going for multiple kills, do not do that.
Man your guide is unreal. Clear, concise, organized, only information that's relevant and very to the point. You are also clearly incredibly good at this boss!! Subscribed and cant wait to check out your other vids man!
when i did the quest i never used a shadow spell, i didn't realize it would kinda reset the guitar hero speed. I will definitely be using shadow spells now, thank you
It is significantly worse cause of the huge defense on Leviathan, you would be better off using a dragon crossbow with ruby bolts and bring the blowpipe for enrage phase.
For my first handful of kills, I was standing on that tile to start the fight, but it wasn't long before I stopped using it since it didn't matter much
is it possible to kill him without ever using a shadow spell? could you just swap prayers forever or does it eventually get too fast that its physically impossible?
The enrage phase is what gets me the most. But the prayer switching sometimes already fucks me up. Luckily I went and tried Leviathan in the Leagues before taking a little break from the game. I think I'd do better with a Webweaver Bow.
For some reason i struggle with leviathan alot compared to other dt2 bosses. I can get through 50 vard kc in a row without dying but i somehow cant handle leviathan last phase. Switching prayers and also dropping webweaver specs while also moving with the light thing is too tough to handle
Instead of fairy ring to wizard tower for that route, use necklace of passage to wiz tower.. everyone legit forgets that Ammy exists..obvs if you have the diary to travel without staff then carry on ha
Hello Mr Dak! A bit off topic here, what would be your top 5 or 10 bosses for a naked rebuild or bosses that are budget friendly? Love the content by the way!
I'm working on a vid for bosses for beginners/budget setups, but I'm not sure where I'm headed with it quite yet. For now I'd say at least Giant Mole, Sarachnis, and DKS are solid options
No gauntlet? I know my question is weird because most of the time budget = beginners and rebuild normally means you do it with a specific item. But I’m a main with loads of bossing experience. I just sold my bank for the fun of starting from scratch. I was just looking for places to go with cheap gear that could make me bank. Thanks for the answer tho! DKS is a great idea to get a few mills going my way while not needing lots of money to be doable.
If you want something chill for mobile, I’d say giant mole and herb runs. That’s what I did after dumping for a bowfa. You can make 1.2m - 1.5m an hour at giant mole, then do a 5min herb run for 300k Start up cost for giant mole is just full dharoks, a few staminas and like 10 prayer pots. That’s only like 3-4mill
11:50 ??????????????? instead of using the special attack, it turns around, shoots a green ball and bites me, and stacks me out on the same tick. I FUCKING HTAT ETHIE B OSS S SOM UCH\
You need to get behind the Leviathan and use an attack before he's unstunned. It sounds like you're running behind him and not getting the attack off in time
@@TheEdB0ys this guide actually helped so much i dont have any trouble with him now got my teleport and virtus mask and few orbs im onto vardorvis now so much funner he also shit on me but its my favorite fight now also got the teleport and i might have used your guide on him too got the axe skip down just sometimes i cant get it when its coming at me my timing is off i havent got any good loot at 101kc but ill get something soon more focused on toa
Yes, very worth Corrupting the bow to save charges in the long run. I bought back my Bowfa just for this grind, and didn't corrupt it yet because I wasn't sure how many kills I was gonna do. It takes a lot of kills to make up for the shards at just Leviathan, but Bowfa is sick at a ton of places. So if you plan on grinding with it, definitely corrupt it. Green is the coolest color option btw
Enraged phase Leviathan is difficult. It just takes practice to be able to flick your prayers and do other things at the same time. You'll get better at being able to flick between overheads while still having your eyes on the boss.
Most players I've seen talk about Leviathan love this boss. The drop table is balanced well, and it's once of the most fun fights. Maybe it's just not the boss for you, but definitely doesn't need any tweaks
Unfortunately that's not enough information to help. If you were able to post a video of you using it would be the easiest way for me to help. Make sure you're not trying to use you Shadow spell immediately after attacking with your ranged weapon, so you're not still on attack delay while you're trying to use your spell. Also, what is your mage bonus in your current setup? I'm pretty sure it should always hit, but if you're lower than -65 mage bonus, you might be splashing
The guide is not lying to you. You're doing the fight wrong and blaming me bruh You have to Stun the boss with a shadow spell, run behind him while he's not turning, and use an attack before the Stun wears off. If the Leviathan is waking up and using regular attacks instead of a spec, then you took too long to attack him from behind.
i never thought they could make a more cancerous bossfight than zulra and here we are. This obnoxious pile of shit is literally harder than inferno for me.
No shot you left 4 comments complaining about the boss instead of fighting something else. Based off your other 3 comments, you're doing it wrong and blaming anybody but yourself
Like this comment to get your Venator Vestige drop!

Thanks for the guides and responding to questions in the comments. It’s much appreciated my guy
Yooo dude TYTY. I'm glad I've been able to help out with Leviathan kills. Your support is also appreciated, you're a beast ❤GL on them gains!
"...but using Shadow Barrage does make you cool" snuck up on me. I laughed harder at that then I probably should have.

@@TheEdB0ys yeah, I agree with that guy. That's the kind of stuff I like to see in a guide.

Yeah I just want my quest cape thanks for the tips fucking guy after vardorivs took me longer then vardorivs LMAO so I'm scared of leviathan
Man your guide is unreal. Clear, concise, organized, only information that's relevant and very to the point. You are also clearly incredibly good at this boss!! Subscribed and cant wait to check out your other vids man!
Thank you! I'm glad the guide was helpful :) More guides coming Soon!
A lot of people trash long guides, but you have all the info in one spot, playback speed, 10sec skips and chapters solve all time inconvenience
you make it so effortless. awesome guide bro!
Thank you! Practice makes perfect for sure, I've got plenty of deaths at Leviathan to LUL
These tiles helped immensely. Thank you!
I'm glad they helped! GL on the grind!
i have died more than the views u got on this video ...
I haven't gotten 1 kill in quest yet. Lol I'm trash. First 2 bosses were easy. This one's just faster than my brain.
great guide, love that you timestamped parts of the video
as usual. perfect guide.
Thank you!
Thanks for thinking out loud. That does help 👍
Excellent guide!
Thank you!
another banger guide from dak 😍
Pro Leviathan killer still comments on my Leviathan guide. My hero
when i did the quest i never used a shadow spell, i didn't realize it would kinda reset the guitar hero speed. I will definitely be using shadow spells now, thank you
shadow spells are much easier than just going through the guitar hero max speed lol
thank you brotha, alwas know i can count on this page when i need a guide :p
Don't mind me... just here for DT2 boss fight
How much worse is it to only use a blowpipe w/ dragon darts vs having bowfa? If I'm using bp only, do I use Lightbearer or archer (i)?
Thanks
BP with Dragon Darts is great damage. Definitely costs a lot to use, but Leviathan drops can keep up with that. And I'd go Archers (i) w/ the blowpipe
It is significantly worse cause of the huge defense on Leviathan, you would be better off using a dragon crossbow with ruby bolts and bring the blowpipe for enrage phase.
What is that 1 single tile you have marked on the eastern edge? Near your line for the boulder phase?
For my first handful of kills, I was standing on that tile to start the fight, but it wasn't long before I stopped using it since it didn't matter much
If I’m on slayer task, do I use the slayer helm with crystal armor and BofA, or do I use slayer helm and misorie armor with BofA?
Slayer Helm + Crystal Chest & Legs should be solid
Thanks man, you rock
great guide subscribed was really helpful cheers
Thank you! GL on the gains!
Was the tbow nerfed here? Been a few months since coming bacl and im getting double kill times using tbow compared to before
is it possible to kill him without ever using a shadow spell? could you just swap prayers forever or does it eventually get too fast that its physically impossible?
It is possible, but it is also very difficult
I cant fucking eat on this boss and its so GD annoying. You eat a shark and then mis 1 tick of prayer and then u get hit a 50 and your dead anyway >.
this guide is so damn good i want u to know i walked in there and bopped this water snake first try thx to your guide tyty
GZGZ beast
The enrage phase is what gets me the most. But the prayer switching sometimes already fucks me up. Luckily I went and tried Leviathan in the Leagues before taking a little break from the game.
I think I'd do better with a Webweaver Bow.
Great guide!

I'm definitely going to use shadow barrage with them snake skins on as well
man this boss has me wanting to rip my hair out. when he goes rapid fire and I have him around 180hp I get rinsed. every time. send help
im Max combat, and idk if its the 150 ping I got here in hawaii but I always get stacked out lol. during enrage
Instead of fairy ring to wizard tower for that route, use necklace of passage to wiz tower.. everyone legit forgets that Ammy exists..obvs if you have the diary to travel without staff then carry on ha
Where would acb land ?
A little worse than the main options of ZCB/Bowfa/Tbow, but still solid
I do mention the ACB during gear section of the guide
Man Jagex fumbled hard not giving the Shadow Sceptre the ability to lower Leviathan's defences and strength bonuses

Awesome guide, probably the best one around. But fuck this boss, the prayer switching is inconsistent af when over 100ms
I suggest using your Shadow spells sooner if the prayers are getting too quick
how do we use the pastebin?
Doing quest version. Is bp better than Arma cbow?
Arma crossbow is prolly a little bit better, but it should be very doable with either
@@TheEdB0ys got it first try with arma cbow! Struggled most with The Whisperer

the enraged phase is way too hard for me, i can't react that fast.....
Enraged phase Leviathan is difficult. It just takes practice to be able to flick your prayers and do other things at the same time. You'll get better at being able to flick between overheads while still having your eyes on the boss.
If any of the dt2 bosses need some tweaks, its this thing. Not great drops and just too much stuff going on sometimes.
Most players I've seen talk about Leviathan love this boss. The drop table is balanced well, and it's once of the most fun fights.
Maybe it's just not the boss for you, but definitely doesn't need any tweaks
The UI and click based movement is definitely not friendly with a lot of these bosses.
Homie using eagle eye instead of rigour
I couldn't get my shadow barrage to hit.
Unfortunately that's not enough information to help. If you were able to post a video of you using it would be the easiest way for me to help.

this made my brain hurt. lol
19 deaths and counting, iva had him as low as 10 hp
DT2 fighting these bosses made me quit the game. Too much going on, can’t even beat this thing.
10:05 this is a patent lie. he has never ever awoken with a special attack for me. Only max speed volleys of all 3 balls
The guide is not lying to you. You're doing the fight wrong and blaming me bruh
You have to Stun the boss with a shadow spell, run behind him while he's not turning, and use an attack before the Stun wears off. If the Leviathan is waking up and using regular attacks instead of a spec, then you took too long to attack him from behind.

nope. All the guides are too low IQ to mention that shooting boss back with magic doesnt prock the special. Up yours, scumbag.@@TheEdB0ys
