Other big tips for CG Ideally you want to go into the room when the boss is in the corner ideally 1 tile away from each corner. Next thing is you want to stay towards the middle of the room as much as possible until tornados spawn. Being in the middle means tornados wont spawn on top of you. Lastly prioritize eating when you are running from nados or the floor so you minimize losing dps.
You'll get better and better the more you do it man, you've got the right mindset so you'll be golden. It took me a bit to grasp and I'll never forget when it "clicked" for me, it got so addicting to keep chaining successful kills back to back
Honestly just paying attention to her style change animation I feel is easier than the hunlef helper. Also after tornados repositioning to near the middle of the room helps so tornados don’t spawn on top of you.

I have over 400 kc in CG (no enhanced yet, thanks for asking). Don't feel bad about the deaths. Honestly, that is fine for where you are at. I know no one asked, but after watching your kill I have some advice to help you get better. I'm sure recording is way different and you do weird things when under a microscope, but here is what I noticed: -PREP- I agree with you, Tier 2 is a noob trap. Focus your prep time on getting a full inventory of food and the weapons you want. The first supply trip out, you should know what you are trying to get before coming back to make stuff. For me its three of each resource, 12 fish, 2 herbs, a weapon frame 220 shards and the axe and pick dropped. This gives me exactly enough for T1 armor, T2 weapon, two vials and the rest food that can be cooked and dropped before leaving. The second trip I want T3 weapon components and 12 fish. I make 5 combo eats for emergencies, cause I make mistakes. -FIGHT- Then the biggest thing you can do is set your priorities right in the final fight: 1. Prayer. If you aren't actively eating you should be on prayer menu. You did this right, but it bears mentioning that this is priority 1 2. Positioning. Not just yourself, make sure you get the boss on an edge of the room, preferably a corner. You did this in the kill I just thought it worth mentioning. This will make pathing so much easier in the final portion when things get faster. Also, if there are no tornados out, get yourself to a place where you can move a little more freely. don't be between the boss and a wall 3. Movement. I see you have true tile indicator on that's good. If you can break the habit of clicking way off into Egypt and instead make smaller moves every tick, this will help you. one click per move, or you run spastically. issue a movement command two tiles from you once per tick. Hard, but I promise it makes a difference 4. DPS. I know it is a hard habit to break, but you only need to click the boss once after eating, switching weapons or drinking a potion. Afterward focus on what is coming next (gear/prayer switches) rather than wearing out your mouse clicking the boss. Without Cox prayers, mage is best DPS (it's max hit is constant), then melee, then ranged. With Rigor, this is reversed. -CAMERA ANGLES- I'm so sorry for the length of this, but this can't be ignored. camera angles. I can tell that you are adjusting them with arrow keys. If your hand leaves your F keys for a second in the fight, you run the risk of not being ready for something and dying. another hard habit to break, but you MUST adjust camera angle with the mouse wheel.

Its pretty amazing, last year at some point you had said how you really weren't into raiding and other content like it but your moving towards that!! Big applause to you!!
I love it when there's content that I try for the first time and it gets me excited to play again. I started doing kq and I would literally get up early in the morning before work and get some kills in
Dude! So happy you're doing this CG changed how I look at grinds. It was a rough one and I was a little dry getting my enhanced seed at 550 KC but damn all that CG made me a better pvmer. Only advice I can remember to give is to keep throwing yourself at it till it clicks, took me 300kc until I could get consistent with kills
One way to think about grinds like this is it's making you significantly better at the game. Next time you go to learn a piece of content, you'll be able to master it quicker due to your experience in CG. All of these pvm grinds compound your skill and before you know it you're moving on to challenges like inferno and tob pb's.
My one piece of advice on the boss is: trust your clicks. This is especially helped with the Destination Tile highlighted in the Tile Indicators plugin. This will allow you to quickly click once to move, and do whatever else you need to do immediately i.e. eat, change prayer/weapon . On the last phase, very often there are moments where every tick counts, and being confident that you are moving where you clicked can make the difference. And more generally, it will allow you to be more efficient with eating vs. attacking. This does come with the caveat that timing your actions is very important, as you can "override" your action in a tick i.e. you do two actions that cannot both be performed together, such as move and attack. Like with most things in this game, being "fast" doesn't always mean clicking as fast as you can, it means doing as much as you can per tick. This requires a good sense of the "rhythm" of the tick rate. Having the metronome plugin enabled can help get that feeling down. Hopefully this helps! I think the end goal for anyone learning CG is to be able to use only tier 1 armour - it makes this whole thing SO much more relaxed, at least for the first half.
1700 KC Ironman here. 1st enhanced 1600KC then 2nd 80 kc later after saying "100 more to see if 2nd one comes". I used the "3-2-1 range" plugin till like 1200 KC. Use that. Focus on your clicks and pathing. Use the Safe ish tiles you have marked. Learn t1 prep. Keep trying 200 kc youll be a pro. GL
What helped speed me up was not fishing/dropping food until I was kitted out. I’d get all my items for my amour and weapons. As I was doing this I was scouting fishing spawns, so I could run back and fish as the last thing to do. Always take a teleport crystal to tele back and cook my food and be instantly ready to walk into the boss room. It takes 30 sec to cook a full inv so if you tele back around 35 sec left you can cook all the food. This helped me speed up bc it was taking me forever dropping food and picking it up, like I’d run out of time with half my food still on the ground. Good luck man!
As a fellow ironman without augury and rigour i felt like i died 50% of the time even with near perfect runs using t1 armor. A lot of ppl told me to use t1 because it is "better" yet i ended up going with t2 and ended up with 95% succes rate and thats with prepping.
T1 is better becouse you learn faster. If u f up your dead and you know why with t2 you might now know that u made a mistake. It’s also faster and it help you do it faster. But if t2 works for you that’s all good point is to get kc:)
Just some tips for you. - Stop spamming clicking, just click once. You'll make more mistakes with spam clicking. - Buy Rigour if you can, huge dps increase for Bow - Pray Melee for all monsters, even the rats, spiders and bats. And just safe spot bear demi boss so you dont waste prayer. -Flick offensive prayers for small monsters and demi bosses. - When starting gauntlet, travel in small circle so you can peek demi boss rooms and make weapon accordingly. - Dont enter Hunlef room unless he is in corners of room or at most one tile away from walls. - If you enter hunlef room and he is in the center, you WILL wipe. Very difficult to to move around room with last tornado phase. - If you need to reposition Hunlef you could walk under him in between his attacks, but this is very risky. Hope that helps.
My best tip for anyone is to count tics/feel the beat. Count your own attacks during last fight and try to feel his attack switches. I like running diagonally to avoid tornados. 20 food 3 herbs 7of each resources around 650 shards or so. 2 tier 3 weapons or 1+ 2 switches 5 hitting with ur single tier 3 weapon.
Better Tips than vid: before you 1st back get these items: - 3 fish pools - 1 of each resource - 2 herbs - kill a room of 3 small minons for wep frame ***scout out at least 1 demi boss*** ***drop axe and pickaxe when you get resources*** ***dont use crystal teleport seed on 1st back*** on 1st back buy tier 1 armor, mage or range wep (upgrade if lucky), 3 vials, cook all food and drop it near stove for finish you want to get the following: - 3 fish pools - 1 herb - 2 perfect wep mats (pref mage and range) ***use 1 dose of your potion(s) when your run gets low*** ***use crystal teleport seed once everything is collected*** ***make both your perfect weapons*** ***cook the rest of your food + pick up already cooked*** This setup will give you 2-3 mins to organize and for unluckly layouts. Don't be afraid to use prayer protects while running through rooms as you will gain it back with the 1 dose drink.
Melee is hitting more for you because you have Piety, whereas you don’t have Rigour and Augury for range and mage! Keep at it! The learning process is fun.
I settled on going t1 helm and body then t2 legs. If you go in a u shape around the hunlef when gathering resources it saves you time as well. Bosses only spawn on outer walls so run along the perimeter after you got armour made. When you find your weapon upgrades and extra food use the teleport back to base. When fighting hunlef try to wait to go in till she is in the corner, saves alot of headache compared to fighting her in the middle. Gl
Pretty sure if you don’t have all same tier of armor you don’t get the full bonus of tier 2 per piece right? You might be wasting your time just making the legs, idk look into it.
@@dccaveman123 dude what I’m saying is I don’t think you are getting any extra defense. You have to get the full set to tier 2 to get the bonus of tier 2
One thing I’d recommend is try to get get between her and the wall, especially if there’s only 1 tiles between her and the wall, it will cause a lot of deaths
I'd suggest you just push through and learn T3 Weapons, and T1 Armor. Around 200 KC it completely clicked for me and now I RARELY die. I went from 80 deaths 10 kills, to 470 Kills and 140 deaths very quickly. I've been grinding non stop for the last two months on my ironman, and would love to help.
Use runelite and change left click to drop on raw paddlefish, all resources except herbs, and your harpoon and both axes. Do the U shape around Hunleff in the beginning for prep, always try to peak the rooms to find a Demi boss so you don’t waste crystals on a useless weapon and have a full invy of supplies and your frame after 1st loop. Go to crystal bowl, drop any resources, make weapon and 1 vial, go to range and cook what fish you have and then drop them, go grind 30 dust and drop pestle and mortar, after 7 of each resource, drop the tool. After 12 fish, drop the harpoon, hopefully RNG helps with more fish. This is how to make prep easier
I do t1 at cg make a u around 1st room and when you get to the bottom mom of thee u open the rooms in a safe way so u see if there is a boss or not so you don’t have to run can and check. Use true tornado on runelite so you see were they relly are. Practice more in regular gauntlet. Just to doge tornados. Don’t witch between t1 or t2 pick one of em. Use all 3 wepens(not that u craft all 3 more that don’t look for 2 specific keen to use all of em
at 9:30 in the video. stop eating potion and food separate you can drink them both in one tick, it will save you a hit every time you remember. Also remember to always think ahead on any ways you can make preparation faster and being on the right tile for the bossfight (example: buying more teleport crystals will save time, or there is safe tiles on last phase of hunleff so standing there ahead of time can be an advantage)
FYI you can spam click fishing spots so you will always get a fish, as opposed to just clicking once and sometimes not getting a fish. It's weird, I know (a bug)
Hey man we all have our strengths, you being maxed blows my fucking mind at your dedication and skill. I may not be maxed, but after a 2 year hiatus i came back and started 99% clearing corrupted gauntlet in 2 hours.
At first I ran out of time making tier 2 so I had to go with tier 1. helped me get to the fight more often and get better. At 100 kc I switched back to getting tier 2 when the resources line up.
I posted a cg boss guide a while ago, have you taken a look at it to try to improve your kills? I now have 430 cg kc on my cb lvl 95 gim, which was used in the video.
some tips based on your gameplay: path more efficiently, backtracking wastes a lot of time. do a U shaped route with hunlef being top of U to start, drop all resources when you return make sure you craft 2 vial after first back and make potions while running Scout boss rooms during first trip at hunlef you can attack while running use true tiles on tornados
Yo man i wanted to give some unsolicited advice since i want to see you complete consistently now. I pretty much wanna say that you should move around your starter room like a circle and as youre moving around the room scout the 3 demi boss rooms. As you move around get a weapon frame and a herb atleast but also gather what you can for your tier 1/2 run. Make sure to make a t2 mage staff and a egniol potion. Drop any cooked food or crafting resources you got and go kill any demi boss youve scouted. After that you go straight to another side of the map to the 3 demiboss rooms if you didnt get your t3 weapons from the first scout and you collect the remaining stuff you need as youre looking for your last weapon. Tele back with seed and craft everything and cook/pickup everything Key things are t2 weapon and pot on first rotation. Drop things. Go get t3 and keep collecting things. Tele back. This is coming from someone whose done about 350 cg's. 250 on a 1 defense hc gim doing t2 runs consistently. Most of those with 89 range and 85 mage. You can do it :p
im currently at 1630kc without bofa, took me till 55ish deaths for my first kill and i didnt even switch to t1 armour till around 800 kills. I would recommend doing t2 since it will teach you proper prep and makes the boss easier, once you can finish prep every time, then if you want, i would switch over to t1
@@NoHelpOSRS got 3 pets and 57 armours, I took a long break and I'm back to cg, I feel like i owe it to my future self because it will save me more time to get it than to not
Couple things: Unequip the mace thing when u start gathering. More dps with fists. Second thing, in the hunllef fight, im assuming u imported those tile markers. They are "safespots" from the floor in the final phase (below 33%, 333hp), so u dont need to worry about that. Lastly, i highly recommend using true tile for the tornados instead of just highlighting them. They usualy lag behind and arent where they show
Oh also, something im guessing ur gonna figure out fast, never stand in the corner behind hunllef more than u have to :) if he does tornado att and tiles go in that corner, it could mess u up
In addition to this, stop spam clicking. Click once or twice for a movement, and then back on the boss. The hit box of hunleff is so bad that you can accidentally click through and end up getting trampled and running on to lava floor.
The sceptre is more dps than fists. You only un-equip the sceptre when the monsters are pretty much 1 hit because your fists are 4tick and the sceptre is 5tick so you’ll save a tick. Honestly no reason to do it unless you’re speedrunning or doing t3 prep.
you are doing well ! And by the way, just to let you know, you can pass tornado yes, but not bc you already clicked the tile. It's bc when your character run. It's running 2x2 tile, so you have a chance to still get hit. If u use the plugins to see where your character in the server at, you'll see. Have a good one and good luck !
This is a good observation. Yes, your character runs 2 tiles every 1 tick. However, there are tiles in which your character appears, but the game doesn't recognize you on while running. Because you run 2 tiles every 1 tick you skip over the tile directly next to as long as you are pathed to a greater distance. The same goes for the 3rd tile and so on. It's useful to learn the 1st and 3rd tile with the tornadoes as there is so much going on for learners in cg or tob while the tornadoes are out. The further distances are hard to calculate with the tornadoes actually having a "real tile" as well, things like world ping or server delay can also have an effect on these.
Nice watching someone struggle where you struggle lmao. I only run the tier 2 method. Prioritize the armour and Stam pot supplies first. I drop all supplies and make weapon in starting room. Look for Demi boss and fish. Kill the med lvl monster for shards if needed. Hopefully by then have atleast 1 minute to make armour/pots and cook fish.
ayyyy i'm a few days (maybe weeks) late but i got 99 agility right around the same time you did. i'm working on maxing now tho, never done gauntlet. i'm scared lol. looks like fun tho
I can’t do cg on the laptop I can only do it on mobile, 148 deaths and 20 completions! Took me months to master it, I managed a 4 kill streak yesterday
Tier 2 armor for corrupted is where its at. It also gives you higher accuracy, not just more armor. Tier 1 is really difficult to pull off. Also when you switch weapons you can eat a fish and not lose that many ticks. Also, Also. I find that if you turn off your character model, and just look at the true tile indicator for your location you can pull off some really slick pathing (i.e. much more fluid as you know exactly when to click to turn a corner. Looking at your character model when turning is much slower.)
T2 armour is kind of a waste of time. Its ok to get your bearings and get some practice in the boss but ultimately t1 armor with 1 or 2 t3 weapons is the way to go. Sounds like you just need some practice within the boss itself. Keep at it though I was there too and now im a GM :D
Don't look at the time has to be one of the weirdest tips I've heard. I think don't panic is fine to say, but you need to check the time. If you have 20 secs left and you're still trying to get a full inventory of food, you're just screwing your run.
Watch if your replays you run band and forth a lot. I don’t know if this advice will help you. But focus on getting a route you run EVERY pull. Don’t run aimlessly and don’t go for resources outside of your route till you have what you need to get your set up.
Hey bro, I learned CG 2 months ago and just finished the bowfa grind. Let me give you a few big tips on the fight - 1 would be make sure to click far away and only once per click, I noticed you spam clicked which is gonna get you killed by the tornadoes. Also, I noticed you liked to run behind hunllef, try not to do this unless you absolutely have to (you shouldnt except on the last phase maybe, but typically won't need to). This is because you can easily get stuck there.
Your K/D isn’t that bad mate! I think I had about 40-50 attempts before I even got my first kill at CG! Look up some guides on routing to improve the success rate of getting T2, I can get full T2 and two weaps 8/10 runs now.
Doing t2 armour after practicing with t1 on a maxed combat account seems-at least to me- like a waste of time, you can get kills consecutively just doing t1 armour, full fish and t3 weap -dont need 2 t3 weap- but if you get 2 bosses close to each other go ahead... but i get it, that if you still making too many mistakes on boss t2 armour helps a lot..
Just saying I spent 551kc at cg on my iron for my bowfa don’t get discouraged by lack of loot I ended with 50m cash and tonnes of arrows and gems and runes
Also, try to get more comfortable acknowledging your true tile indicator as your actual location instead of your character model. Your clips at the end show you getting caught by the tornados because you are hesitating to move to your next location until your character gets to the tile instead of your true tile getting there (essentially meaning you are standing on the tile for a tick or 2 before moving and allow the tornados to catch you). This and not running between the boss and the wall on p3 reduced my cg death per attempt from roughly 50% in my first 75kc to like 2% in my next 150kc
I'm sitting at 67 kc and 128 deaths. I've gotten the hang of it now I can go multiple kills in a row without dying, I got the pet at 65 kc and I don't know if I should be mad or not lol. pet is 1/800 while the enhanced seed is 1/400.
Use the p3 safe spots and quit spam clicking. Especially when you’re just sitting there clicking the boss, it’s a terrible habit. You only have to click the boss after eating or potting. Keep practicing fkeys, you still click the inventory instead of using the fkey. Also the reason you path through the tornadoes is because you move 2 tiles as opposed to the tornadoes moving 1 tile which allows your character to go right through them. Good luck
I respect the old school methods of gwd and the Bosses themselves to never grind a bofa because yes it slaps there. That's how I deal with the red prision.
@@NoHelpOSRS I don’t want people to think it’s just easy for me, I still have to hunker down and focus and I still die sometimes but yeah I’m at 252 kc now. Still don’t consider myself a pro but thank you!
I still prefer t2 because it's a lot more chill. But cg is doing the opposite for me, it's making me want to quit. Currently I'm at 970 kc with 29 armor seeds and 16 wep seeds, no enh. I just started doing wilderness stuff and achievements to get me out of there but I still play a lot less now than when I started because of cg. Feel completely trapped by this hellhole. Considering just going for a tumekens shadow, feels more attainable to me than this damn bow.
I did my CG grind with Tier 2 Armor and 2 Tier 3 weapons. There's some pretty decent guides for getting resources consistently and at the end of the day its less stress on the fight.
Yeah, and t1 is so hit or miss. Sometimes it goes well but even with high combat stats, it’s very easy to get unlucky combos and miss something. I also find that t1 requires a lot more attention to health bar which means less dps in general because of eating. T2 is way better but there are times where you get insanely unlucky and it throws the run. If you could always 100% at T1, it’s obviously better but if you do 5 and die or die every few. I think t2 is more consistent money over time also because you get more KC by not failing as much. But I like t1 because you get faster kills and that’s also cool. Just seems so RNG in the last phase in T1. One mistake even at close to full HP and you are dead. T2 allows a little more chance at not being one shot and you take a lot less damage in fight which means more dps.
Love your guides but I have to disagree with t1 prep to start. Learning t2 prep first before boss fight makes it so much more comfortable. You're going to get a lot more consistent kills and not get demoralized by low k/d. Watching Fluffeh's guide on t2 prep makes it a non brainer. Just got to 110 kc, 100 of which were t2 and I've failed prep maybe two times from just horrible rng. The forgiveness of t2 makes learning the boss mechanics much easier. But thats just my opinion on this.
If you didn't know this, completing the full square around the boss room will almost 100% of the time give you all of the materials for tier 2 armor. I always start and do that rotation because it gets you all of that and brings you back to the starter room
”Ive spent about 30 ish to 40 hours here and you know I got 18 kills. not too bad” haha love your optimism keep it up!
Ahaha thanks brother
I was there 24 hours before my 1st KC haha
Other big tips for CG Ideally you want to go into the room when the boss is in the corner ideally 1 tile away from each corner. Next thing is you want to stay towards the middle of the room as much as possible until tornados spawn. Being in the middle means tornados wont spawn on top of you. Lastly prioritize eating when you are running from nados or the floor so you minimize losing dps.

You'll get better and better the more you do it man, you've got the right mindset so you'll be golden. It took me a bit to grasp and I'll never forget when it "clicked" for me, it got so addicting to keep chaining successful kills back to back
Honestly just paying attention to her style change animation I feel is easier than the hunlef helper. Also after tornados repositioning to near the middle of the room helps so tornados don’t spawn on top of you.

I have over 400 kc in CG (no enhanced yet, thanks for asking). Don't feel bad about the deaths. Honestly, that is fine for where you are at. I know no one asked, but after watching your kill I have some advice to help you get better. I'm sure recording is way different and you do weird things when under a microscope, but here is what I noticed:
-PREP-
I agree with you, Tier 2 is a noob trap. Focus your prep time on getting a full inventory of food and the weapons you want. The first supply trip out, you should know what you are trying to get before coming back to make stuff. For me its three of each resource, 12 fish, 2 herbs, a weapon frame 220 shards and the axe and pick dropped. This gives me exactly enough for T1 armor, T2 weapon, two vials and the rest food that can be cooked and dropped before leaving. The second trip I want T3 weapon components and 12 fish. I make 5 combo eats for emergencies, cause I make mistakes.
-FIGHT-
Then the biggest thing you can do is set your priorities right in the final fight:
1. Prayer. If you aren't actively eating you should be on prayer menu. You did this right, but it bears mentioning that this is priority 1
2. Positioning. Not just yourself, make sure you get the boss on an edge of the room, preferably a corner. You did this in the kill I just thought it worth mentioning. This will make pathing so much easier in the final portion when things get faster. Also, if there are no tornados out, get yourself to a place where you can move a little more freely. don't be between the boss and a wall
3. Movement. I see you have true tile indicator on that's good. If you can break the habit of clicking way off into Egypt and instead make smaller moves every tick, this will help you. one click per move, or you run spastically. issue a movement command two tiles from you once per tick. Hard, but I promise it makes a difference
4. DPS. I know it is a hard habit to break, but you only need to click the boss once after eating, switching weapons or drinking a potion. Afterward focus on what is coming next (gear/prayer switches) rather than wearing out your mouse clicking the boss. Without Cox prayers, mage is best DPS (it's max hit is constant), then melee, then ranged. With Rigor, this is reversed.
-CAMERA ANGLES-
I'm so sorry for the length of this, but this can't be ignored. camera angles. I can tell that you are adjusting them with arrow keys. If your hand leaves your F keys for a second in the fight, you run the risk of not being ready for something and dying. another hard habit to break, but you MUST adjust camera angle with the mouse wheel. I promise you will die less if your leave it to the right hand to handle.
Good luck out there! I hope you get luckier than I have in CG :)

Very true, learning cg is what really brought me up to the top level pvm
Yeah that’s true. Good point.
My one piece of advice on the boss is: trust your clicks.
This is especially helped with the Destination Tile highlighted in the Tile Indicators plugin. This will allow you to quickly click once to move, and do whatever else you need to do immediately i.e. eat, change prayer/weapon . On the last phase, very often there are moments where every tick counts, and being confident that you are moving where you clicked can make the difference. And more generally, it will allow you to be more efficient with eating vs. attacking.
This does come with the caveat that timing your actions is very important, as you can "override" your action in a tick i.e. you do two actions that cannot both be performed together, such as move and attack. Like with most things in this game, being "fast" doesn't always mean clicking as fast as you can, it means doing as much as you can per tick. This requires a good sense of the "rhythm" of the tick rate. Having the metronome plugin enabled can help get that feeling down.
Hopefully this helps! I think the end goal for anyone learning CG is to be able to use only tier 1 armour - it makes this whole thing SO much more relaxed, at least for the first half.

A lot of ppl told me to use t1 because it is "better" yet i ended up going with t2 and ended up with 95% succes rate and thats with prepping.
T1 is better becouse you learn faster. If u f up your dead and you know why with t2 you might now know that u made a mistake. It’s also faster and it help you do it faster. But if t2 works for you that’s all good point is to get kc:)
Its alright mate you’ll get better at it with time, love the dedication to learning it, reminds me of when I learnt cg on my group iron 😊
Yes each run I feel the improvement! It’s super fun and rewarding ! How long did it take you to learn
Just some tips for you.
- Stop spamming clicking, just click once. You'll make more mistakes with spam clicking.
- Buy Rigour if you can, huge dps increase for Bow
- Pray Melee for all monsters, even the rats, spiders and bats. And just safe spot bear demi boss so you dont waste prayer.
-Flick offensive prayers for small monsters and demi bosses.
- When starting gauntlet, travel in small circle so you can peek demi boss rooms and make weapon accordingly.
- Dont enter Hunlef room unless he is in corners of room or at most one tile away from walls.
- If you enter hunlef room and he is in the center, you WILL wipe. Very difficult to to move around room with last tornado phase.
- If you need to reposition Hunlef you could walk under him in between his attacks, but this is very risky.
Hope that helps.
My best tip for anyone is to count tics/feel the beat. Count your own attacks during last fight and try to feel his attack switches. I like running diagonally to avoid tornados. 20 food 3 herbs 7of each resources around 650 shards or so. 2 tier 3 weapons or 1+ 2 switches 5 hitting with ur single tier 3 weapon.
Thanks brother I appreciate the advice
Better Tips than vid:
before you 1st back get these items:
- 3 fish pools
- 1 of each resource
- 2 herbs
- kill a room of 3 small minons for wep frame
***scout out at least 1 demi boss***
***drop axe and pickaxe when you get resources***
***dont use crystal teleport seed on 1st back***
on 1st back buy tier 1 armor, mage or range wep (upgrade if lucky), 3 vials, cook all food and drop it near stove
for finish you want to get the following:
- 3 fish pools
- 1 herb
- 2 perfect wep mats (pref mage and range)
***use 1 dose of your potion(s) when your run gets low***
***use crystal teleport seed once everything is collected***
***make both your perfect weapons***
***cook the rest of your food + pick up already cooked***
This setup will give you 2-3 mins to organize and for unluckly layouts.
Don't be afraid to use prayer protects while running through rooms as you will gain it back with the 1 dose drink.
T2 armor and 2 T3 weapons is what I do for every kill. I've done about 480 kc, practically without leaving the gauntlet. Still no enhanced.
I piety flick the small enemies when going for my weapon frame bc you’ll get those pts back from engiol that you should make first w weapon
Melee is hitting more for you because you have Piety, whereas you don’t have Rigour and Augury for range and mage! Keep at it! The learning process is fun.
I settled on going t1 helm and body then t2 legs. If you go in a u shape around the hunlef when gathering resources it saves you time as well. Bosses only spawn on outer walls so run along the perimeter after you got armour made. When you find your weapon upgrades and extra food use the teleport back to base. When fighting hunlef try to wait to go in till she is in the corner, saves alot of headache compared to fighting her in the middle. Gl
Pretty sure if you don’t have all same tier of armor you don’t get the full bonus of tier 2 per piece right? You might be wasting your time just making the legs, idk look into it.
@@wrenandrews3782 Correct, just stick with full T1
@@wrenandrews3782 Its about getting those juicy extra defense bonus's makes a big difference in how much you get smacked
@@dccaveman123 dude what I’m saying is I don’t think you are getting any extra defense. You have to get the full set to tier 2 to get the bonus of tier 2
@@wrenandrews3782 go do some more research.
Another good one buddy, glad to see that subscriber count growing!! Keep it up! -Bigblockcrew
One thing I’d recommend is try to get get between her and the wall, especially if there’s only 1 tiles between her and the wall, it will cause a lot of deaths
thanks for the advice
I'd suggest you just push through and learn T3 Weapons, and T1 Armor. Around 200 KC it completely clicked for me and now I RARELY die. I went from 80 deaths 10 kills, to 470 Kills and 140 deaths very quickly. I've been grinding non stop for the last two months on my ironman, and would love to help.
Wow eh that’s awesome! Yes it definitely just takes time! I’m doing t2 armour now and t3 weapon’s and getting consistent kills
Use runelite and change left click to drop on raw paddlefish, all resources except herbs, and your harpoon and both axes. Do the U shape around Hunleff in the beginning for prep, always try to peak the rooms to find a Demi boss so you don’t waste crystals on a useless weapon and have a full invy of supplies and your frame after 1st loop. Go to crystal bowl, drop any resources, make weapon and 1 vial, go to range and cook what fish you have and then drop them, go grind 30 dust and drop pestle and mortar, after 7 of each resource, drop the tool. After 12 fish, drop the harpoon, hopefully RNG helps with more fish. This is how to make prep easier
The click swapper is a great tip, thank you
I do t1 at cg make a u around 1st room and when you get to the bottom mom of thee u open the rooms in a safe way so u see if there is a boss or not so you don’t have to run can and check. Use true tornado on runelite so you see were they relly are. Practice more in regular gauntlet. Just to doge tornados. Don’t witch between t1 or t2 pick one of em. Use all 3 wepens(not that u craft all 3 more that don’t look for 2 specific keen to use all of em
at 9:30 in the video. stop eating potion and food separate you can drink them both in one tick, it will save you a hit every time you remember. Also remember to always think ahead on any ways you can make preparation faster and being on the right tile for the bossfight (example: buying more teleport crystals will save time, or there is safe tiles on last phase of hunleff so standing there ahead of time can be an advantage)
Thank you so much for the advice ! Didn’t know about the safe tiles I’ll have to look into this
@@NoHelpOSRS Those 8 tiles you have marked are the safe tiles for the final phase. 3 tiles away from each entrance.
drinking one potion between attacks doesn't slow you down either!
I don’t think u lose ticks sipping a pot do you? If so this is incorrect. If you do then I’m an idiot.
@@joshr4257 at 9:30 he could of ate the potion and food together in one tick. instead he did it separately which cost him an attack.
biggest tip I have is turn off HD 117 for the corrupted gauntlet. I found HD very hard to track everything on the screen at once.
Oh good Idea I’ll try that! Thank you
How do you get the tile markers on the tornadoes?
FYI you can spam click fishing spots so you will always get a fish, as opposed to just clicking once and sometimes not getting a fish. It's weird, I know (a bug)
Hey man we all have our strengths, you being maxed blows my fucking mind at your dedication and skill. I may not be maxed, but after a 2 year hiatus i came back and started 99% clearing corrupted gauntlet in 2 hours.
What plugin are you using to mark the resources on the minimap?
At first I ran out of time making tier 2 so I had to go with tier 1. helped me get to the fight more often and get better. At 100 kc I switched back to getting tier 2 when the resources line up.
I posted a cg boss guide a while ago, have you taken a look at it to try to improve your kills? I now have 430 cg kc on my cb lvl 95 gim, which was used in the video.
Just started doing gauntlet runs, how do you get the tornadoes highlighted?
some tips based on your gameplay:
path more efficiently, backtracking wastes a lot of time.
do a U shaped route with hunlef being top of U to start, drop all resources when you return
make sure you craft 2 vial after first back and make potions while running
Scout boss rooms during first trip
at hunlef you can attack while running
use true tiles on tornados
hey its grouped iron here from your last video, stay at it, i had like 50 deaths in my first 100kc, now I'm deathless since about 550kc to 720
Yo man i wanted to give some unsolicited advice since i want to see you complete consistently now.
I pretty much wanna say that you should move around your starter room like a circle and as youre moving around the room scout the 3 demi boss rooms. As you move around get a weapon frame and a herb atleast but also gather what you can for your tier 1/2 run. Make sure to make a t2 mage staff and a egniol potion. Drop any cooked food or crafting resources you got and go kill any demi boss youve scouted. After that you go straight to another side of the map to the 3 demiboss rooms if you didnt get your t3 weapons from the first scout and you collect the remaining stuff you need as youre looking for your last weapon. Tele back with seed and craft everything and cook/pickup everything
Key things are t2 weapon and pot on first rotation. Drop things. Go get t3 and keep collecting things. Tele back.
This is coming from someone whose done about 350 cg's. 250 on a 1 defense hc gim doing t2 runs consistently. Most of those with 89 range and 85 mage.
You can do it :p
Thank you so much man I really appreciate comments like these they help me so much! I’m at 68 KC right now pushing strong :)
Maybe to get practice at hunllef, do more regular gauntlet, but no armor and t2 weapons only.
Also still craft armor for practice prepping.
We all go down this path. It's vile, but necessary.
im currently at 1630kc without bofa, took me till 55ish deaths for my first kill and i didnt even switch to t1 armour till around 800 kills. I would recommend doing t2 since it will teach you proper prep and makes the boss easier, once you can finish prep every time, then if you want, i would switch over to t1
That’s awesome advice thank! Sorry that you are so dry! Keep pushing ! Did you get the pet?
@@NoHelpOSRS got 3 pets and 57 armours, I took a long break and I'm back to cg, I feel like i owe it to my future self because it will save me more time to get it than to not
you do more dmg with kicks than with the starting weapon. always unequip it until you get the weapon frame
when he was talking about cutting wood mining ore and picking cotton it sounded like he struggled to say picking cotton
So many irons stuck at cg. I like using t1 armor 3 pots rocking steel skin along with damage prayers if I don’t have hally.
Try downloading the runelite's tile path marker, that helped me a lot to master the CG
Couple things:
Unequip the mace thing when u start gathering. More dps with fists.
Second thing, in the hunllef fight, im assuming u imported those tile markers. They are "safespots" from the floor in the final phase (below 33%, 333hp), so u dont need to worry about that.
Lastly, i highly recommend using true tile for the tornados instead of just highlighting them. They usualy lag behind and arent where they show
Oh also, something im guessing ur gonna figure out fast, never stand in the corner behind hunllef more than u have to :) if he does tornado att and tiles go in that corner, it could mess u up
In addition to this, stop spam clicking. Click once or twice for a movement, and then back on the boss. The hit box of hunleff is so bad that you can accidentally click through and end up getting trampled and running on to lava floor.
The sceptre is more dps than fists. You only un-equip the sceptre when the monsters are pretty much 1 hit because your fists are 4tick and the sceptre is 5tick so you’ll save a tick. Honestly no reason to do it unless you’re speedrunning or doing t3 prep.
Well played! Im also currently trying to learn CG, still a noob :p But its fun to get into.
Your movement is definitely getting better! I'd suggest learning to move the camera with middle mouse button, its a game changer
Excited to get to grind some out soon on my low level iron 😊
Recently started an iron because of this channel. Goodluck on the bowfa grind! Fkeys ftw.
you are doing well ! And by the way, just to let you know, you can pass tornado yes, but not bc you already clicked the tile. It's bc when your character run. It's running 2x2 tile, so you have a chance to still get hit. If u use the plugins to see where your character in the server at, you'll see. Have a good one and good luck !
This is a good observation. Yes, your character runs 2 tiles every 1 tick. However, there are tiles in which your character appears, but the game doesn't recognize you on while running. Because you run 2 tiles every 1 tick you skip over the tile directly next to as long as you are pathed to a greater distance. The same goes for the 3rd tile and so on. It's useful to learn the 1st and 3rd tile with the tornadoes as there is so much going on for learners in cg or tob while the tornadoes are out. The further distances are hard to calculate with the tornadoes actually having a "real tile" as well, things like world ping or server delay can also have an effect on these.
Nice watching someone struggle where you struggle lmao. I only run the tier 2 method. Prioritize the armour and Stam pot supplies first. I drop all supplies and make weapon in starting room. Look for Demi boss and fish. Kill the med lvl monster for shards if needed. Hopefully by then have atleast 1 minute to make armour/pots and cook fish.
I've been grinding gauntlet non stop the last couple weeks and i can not get a cg kc :/
ayyyy i'm a few days (maybe weeks) late but i got 99 agility right around the same time you did. i'm working on maxing now tho, never done gauntlet. i'm scared lol. looks like fun tho
I can’t do cg on the laptop I can only do it on mobile, 148 deaths and 20 completions! Took me months to master it, I managed a 4 kill streak yesterday
Tier 2 armor for corrupted is where its at. It also gives you higher accuracy, not just more armor. Tier 1 is really difficult to pull off.
Also when you switch weapons you can eat a fish and not lose that many ticks.
Also, Also. I find that if you turn off your character model, and just look at the true tile indicator for your location you can pull off some really slick pathing (i.e. much more fluid as you know exactly when to click to turn a corner. Looking at your character model when turning is much slower.)
T2 armour is kind of a waste of time. Its ok to get your bearings and get some practice in the boss but ultimately t1 armor with 1 or 2 t3 weapons is the way to go. Sounds like you just need some practice within the boss itself. Keep at it though I was there too and now im a GM :D
Thanks for the advice man! I appreciate it
I’m on the corrupted gauntlet grind too on my 45 defence iron! I made videos on it aswell :) nice vid man
I found that running normal gauntlets on mobile helped me figure out the boss a lot.
Don't look at the time has to be one of the weirdest tips I've heard. I think don't panic is fine to say, but you need to check the time. If you have 20 secs left and you're still trying to get a full inventory of food, you're just screwing your run.
Watch if your replays you run band and forth a lot. I don’t know if this advice will help you. But focus on getting a route you run EVERY pull. Don’t run aimlessly and don’t go for resources outside of your route till you have what you need to get your set up.
Hey bro, I learned CG 2 months ago and just finished the bowfa grind. Let me give you a few big tips on the fight - 1 would be make sure to click far away and only once per click, I noticed you spam clicked which is gonna get you killed by the tornadoes. Also, I noticed you liked to run behind hunllef, try not to do this unless you absolutely have to (you shouldnt except on the last phase maybe, but typically won't need to). This is because you can easily get stuck there.
I’m currently on the same mission trying to learn cg only in my case I havnt gotten a kc yet 😅 one day soon tho
I don't know how anyone can do tier 2 armor on the corrupted version. I consistently only have 30 seconds to spare getting tier 1.
You have the tiles marked for p3 and don't use them. Might help you a bit there.
Your K/D isn’t that bad mate! I think I had about 40-50 attempts before I even got my first kill at CG! Look up some guides on routing to improve the success rate of getting T2, I can get full T2 and two weaps 8/10 runs now.
Doing t2 armour after practicing with t1 on a maxed combat account seems-at least to me- like a waste of time, you can get kills consecutively just doing t1 armour, full fish and t3 weap -dont need 2 t3 weap- but if you get 2 bosses close to each other go ahead... but i get it, that if you still making too many mistakes on boss t2 armour helps a lot..
Just saying I spent 551kc at cg on my iron for my bowfa don’t get discouraged by lack of loot I ended with 50m cash and tonnes of arrows and gems and runes
Also, try to get more comfortable acknowledging your true tile indicator as your actual location instead of your character model. Your clips at the end show you getting caught by the tornados because you are hesitating to move to your next location until your character gets to the tile instead of your true tile getting there (essentially meaning you are standing on the tile for a tick or 2 before moving and allow the tornados to catch you). This and not running between the boss and the wall on p3 reduced my cg death per attempt from roughly 50% in my first 75kc to like 2% in my next 150kc
I'm sitting at 67 kc and 128 deaths. I've gotten the hang of it now I can go multiple kills in a row without dying, I got the pet at 65 kc and I don't know if I should be mad or not lol. pet is 1/800 while the enhanced seed is 1/400.
Also if no rigour, mage and melee is better for irons as mage max hit is 39 regardless of mage level and melee because of piety
Use the p3 safe spots and quit spam clicking. Especially when you’re just sitting there clicking the boss, it’s a terrible habit. You only have to click the boss after eating or potting. Keep practicing fkeys, you still click the inventory instead of using the fkey. Also the reason you path through the tornadoes is because you move 2 tiles as opposed to the tornadoes moving 1 tile which allows your character to go right through them. Good luck
I respect the old school methods of gwd and the Bosses themselves to never grind a bofa because yes it slaps there. That's how I deal with the red prision.
Ez bro all t2 armor mage+range wep 1 t3 1 t2 or t3 if boss layout allows and remember f key for all singing bowl items
Only eating while running tornadoes helped up my dps massively
Got pet at 19 kc and enhanced seed at 79 kc 😊 super excited. Corrupted gauntlet is one of the worst places to be dry at
1:39 - you almost lost the don't laugh game
Lmaooo
I went positive at 227 kc. Good luck! I use T1 armor
Wow eh ! T1 armour is hard ! Good for you
@@NoHelpOSRS I don’t want people to think it’s just easy for me, I still have to hunker down and focus and I still die sometimes but yeah I’m at 252 kc now. Still don’t consider myself a pro but thank you!
My only problem now is my perfected range and mage weapons noodling with tier 1 armour 🙃🙃🙃 makes me mad so much 😂
Halberd is hard to use when dodging tornados
Yes very true
Focus more on t2 armour and trust me you will get more if per hr
715 completions corrupted gauntlet, 479 deaths here. Don't give up :D
Use the marked tiles
Yes been doing this! Now
I still prefer t2 because it's a lot more chill. But cg is doing the opposite for me, it's making me want to quit. Currently I'm at 970 kc with 29 armor seeds and 16 wep seeds, no enh. I just started doing wilderness stuff and achievements to get me out of there but I still play a lot less now than when I started because of cg. Feel completely trapped by this hellhole. Considering just going for a tumekens shadow, feels more attainable to me than this damn bow.
i got 1000 cg kc and let me tell you t1 armour is all you need, t2 is barely better and slows down your prep a lot
I did my CG grind with Tier 2 Armor and 2 Tier 3 weapons. There's some pretty decent guides for getting resources consistently and at the end of the day its less stress on the fight.
Yeah, and t1 is so hit or miss. Sometimes it goes well but even with high combat stats, it’s very easy to get unlucky combos and miss something. I also find that t1 requires a lot more attention to health bar which means less dps in general because of eating. T2 is way better but there are times where you get insanely unlucky and it throws the run. If you could always 100% at T1, it’s obviously better but if you do 5 and die or die every few. I think t2 is more consistent money over time also because you get more KC by not failing as much. But I like t1 because you get faster kills and that’s also cool. Just seems so RNG in the last phase in T1. One mistake even at close to full HP and you are dead. T2 allows a little more chance at not being one shot and you take a lot less damage in fight which means more dps.
Glad im not the only one getting destroyed by cg xD
And i thought i was bad with 1/4 death rate as a learner lol
Just do only tear 1 till you learn it makes future so easy
Love your guides but I have to disagree with t1 prep to start. Learning t2 prep first before boss fight makes it so much more comfortable. You're going to get a lot more consistent kills and not get demoralized by low k/d. Watching Fluffeh's guide on t2 prep makes it a non brainer. Just got to 110 kc, 100 of which were t2 and I've failed prep maybe two times from just horrible rng. The forgiveness of t2 makes learning the boss mechanics much easier. But thats just my opinion on this.
You marked the safe tiles for phase 3 of the boss and then insisted on not using them lol
More anyone can PVM bro those are the best
Next one coming Saturday
Prioritize learning to minimize mistakes. Tier 1 is good enough if you don't make mistakes.
If you didn't know this, completing the full square around the boss room will almost 100% of the time give you all of the materials for tier 2 armor. I always start and do that rotation because it gets you all of that and brings you back to the starter room
Just use gauntletcounter
I'm 900 dry no.ench with 400 deaths. So depressing think of the time wasted..
With that completion to death ratio I think you should be watching tips videos for Cgs not making em 😂😂
You’ve just gotta slow down fight, it sounds stupid but it’s the truth. My irons name is magnus 1ocus
If I can get kill’s you can def ge t kills
Thanks for the help no help
No worries! ahah
