Soulreaper Axe Colosseum Guide (OSRS)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- First Colosseum guides I made were on release and no changes had been made to Colosseum yet, or Soulreaper Axe. I figure it was time to make another one. With the spec changes to Soulreaper Axe, it makes it within 10% of Scythe and a mid level budget option for melee Colosseum.
In my Discord, under Colosseum Resources is an IN-DEPTH Invocation Tier List and Custom Menu Swaps for the Fremmys, so check there for info.
Start at South Pillar at either the B5 tile, or my SPEED tile. North pillar has unsolvable double stacks, and you can't 100% Mage block the Minotaur waves. This makes South WAY easier for learners. I don't know why people suggest North when it is factually the worst pillar to learn on. You lose a lot of safety and pillar rotation options, and you coin flip whether you can stack the Shaman behind Minotaurs. Don't fall into this noob trap.
Ancients is trolling. Stop bringing barrage into Colosseum. It's like bringing Justi into Inferno. Melee is by far the best style. If you want to bring TBOW and 4 way Shadow fine, but thralls and death charge are supreme, and death charge gives you more healing than Blood Barrage will give you throughout a run via SGS.

thanks bro
3 weeks ago I commented on your TOA Wiki guide video that I hadn't really watched you since I thought your content was mostly for elitists/HLC players and such. Well today after 5 days of grinding melee only colosseum using your SW pillar tactics, I killed Sol on the third time I got there. It took me 120 deaths. BUT someone like me with no prior inferno experience, no high level raiding and no deep understanding of tick mechanics prior to entering colosseum managed to do it. Did it cost me a lot? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. The feeling was amazing! Thank you so much.
GRATS! Anyone can do anything if they truly just put their mind to learning the content regardless of experience. Enjoy the new cape
@@GnomonkeyRS Thank you. This is one of those things I really couldn't have done without your videos on the topic. One big thing that helped me improve at waves was clipping my deaths and playing them back afterwards to see what went wrong. Keep it up and remember the positive influence you have on people like me, who thought they could never ever get this done.
What great timing, I just finished a soulreaper on my UIM today
That’s a huge fucking Gratz big dog
What the fuck lol. How many uim even have that item
Not that many, considering it's closer to scythe than saeldor in terms of hours to acquire, but it is a fun item. The drop mechanics are the most anti-uim shit ever though. If the fights weren't fun and ultor wasn't good, then I'd never have killed any of em tbh outside of CAs.
Just got my quiver using this exact method. Thanks gnomonkey and all colleagues in the discord chat for the help :)
One thing to highlight (it was mentioned in the video but it wasn't clear to me): you lose all stacks of the soulreaper axe when you have never defeated Sol before. The cutscene wipes them clear. Whether you rush or not when going to wave 11 to 12, it does not matter. Be prepared to brew your life back up after getting the five stacks. I didn't have a DWH so I just specd with the SGS and it recovered my hp, so that worked nicely.
Gl all
Thanks for making another guide on this. Always learn a ton from your vids! One day I’ll work up the courage to try this lol. Two questions:
1. I remember seeing other people saying that said you should start moving on a specific tick at the start of a wave. Is that something you’d recommend? Or just immediately attack mage and run while praying?
2. When do you summon thralls? Is it bad to just do that immediately at the start of the waves or would that delay you?
1. People are referring to the offtick method on North pillar which I vehemently suggest you don't use for multitudes of reasons
2. Try to keep it up and don't overcast it and waste prayer. Beginning of wave is fine if it ends up that way
Great guide! I started doing the colosseum having in mind to farm it with the soulreaper as it is a great money maker these days, but i lost motivation after seeing how hard it was. Somehow, after 7 attempts i got to the final boss with only 1 brew and even though i thought i wouldn't do it i got the kill. That was on beta worlds with scythe tho, but then tried main game and got the quiver in 3 attempts. Now i just got my second kc a few hours ago and im trying to refresh everything and remember all the solves as now I'm definitely going hard with the colosseum and doing a soulreaper rebuild:)
"It feels like 3 ticks, 3 ticks and 3 ticks"
Gnomonkey thinks in game ticks confirmed
Gnome Monkey, what are your thoughts on the corner L movement method for Sol? It almost feels like cheating since the only attack you have to move differently for is Shield 1.
I think the L movement method is trolling. It moves the boss too much and causes issues for learners.
@@GnomonkeyRS I feel like doing it once after he phasing is giga convenient, since it's always spear. You don't have to remember previous attack, and you wouldn't die the first time :)
Don't have to move the boss either, you just start in melee on the corner, do L once, and get back in the normal cycle
Was a game changer for me as a learner, way easier than remembering cycle
I think L movement is terrible and makes a bad habit. Might as well actually learn the attack cycles.
@@ItsOnlyPrimegot first kc thanks to corner L 🤷🏻♀️ to each they own
took me ages to find no explanation
anyone that want know how make blue highlight clickbox over the bezerker
id: 12816
better npc highlight (clickbox)
6:10 your logic here doesnt make sense, you want to avoid picking tier 3 invos if there are other acceptable options as you leave the 3rd tier invocation in the pool and obviously if youre considering picking the t3, its a “good” invocation you want to leave available in the pool if possible.. you end up later in the run rolling 3 bad invos on wave 6 because rather than leaving flare3 in the pool to possibly reroll it later youve taken it out of the pool..
Tldr for learners it is always better when given multiple good invos early, always prioritize having at least 1 tier each of multiple good invos (to influence rerolling t2s/t3s later) and avoid taking t3s unless its the only pickable option.
It makes sense because I got extremely unlucky this run for invos without resetting the run completely. I had to pick Solarflare 3 because I had no other viable option, which gave me a chance to get 3 (hopefully) good invos, instead of S3 and only 2 viable picks. If I didn't pick S3 I would have shitty invos and could have also NOT rerolled Solarflare 3 and got boned even more.
do you recommend this setup over bowfa+tent whip for beginners? and is blood fury still a must or is the new amulet of rancour better?
Bf a must for melee first cape imo.
Don't bring BofA. You don't need it, just bring one way range for fremmy
I’ll give south pillar a shot! North pillar is just so punishing if I get two spawns south and two east that aren’t the same ugh.
Yup! That's why North is really bad and frustrating for new people. The amount of times people ask me to help them solve a wave and it's a shitty North Pillar stack, 95%
killed the moment i open the video :((
alfie max final form
if you start sol with stacks, you lose all the stacks without regaining the HP, I think it's a "different instance" due to the fences or something, can't be too sure.
8:25 when the shaman is in front you can make the ranger path next to the shaman behind the pillar by going on the side tiles, but it doesn't really help you if there are more enemies stacked behind that.
Would reaper axe/melee only be better for learners over range only waves?
Ranged only waves super trolling. Melee is BIS. Soulreaper + BF slaps
@@GnomonkeyRS Heck yeah, thanks for replying man. Keep up the good content.
Scythe > Tbow > everything else. Tbow is only worse DPS than other options versus the jaguar warrior.
speed splits? is that what its called? cant find anything
Coloss plugin
Genuinely recommend SRA for first quiver?
Sure absolutely.
how do you not splash with just sang equipped, i feel like i splash on melee all the time doing this with torva, is the extra torva -mage the difference?
You can't splash, you always max hit if correct style on the Frems.
“HeS JuSt dOiNg SpEaRs ThAtS pReTtY FrEe”
Its the hand gesturing that really forces me to learn @gnomonkey 27:52
At 25:15 you say after each lightning phase he will switch to a spear attack. Thats not correct Unless im dumb. Im pretty sure sol will always keep his last attack in mind when throwing lightning. He will always spear 1 after 3 attack and take off x attack. Great guide either way
I think he means:
Last attack shield 1
Lightning
Next attack spear 1
Last attack shield 2
Lightning
Next attack spear 1
Last attack spear 2
Lightning
Next attack spear 1
Last attack spear 1
Lightning
Next attack spear 2
So he'll always spear 1 after lightning, unless he already did spear 1 before, in which case hell do spear 2
@GnomonkeyRS im going for my first quiver, would i have a better chance with a scythe and bandos or torva and an axe?
Scythe and Bandos. But you can use Gearscape.net and calc it yourself :)
Torva tank, scythe slash.
aaaand soulreaper axe goes up in price'
i had no idea the grapple was a timing thing, i always thought it was a speed thing and i was like damn how fast do i have to be im hitting this instantly!!
lule
Avoid mantimahem?? The freest invo in the colosseum? L0L!!!! Now discrediting everything you’ve ever said 😂
I'd love to see how many waves you've been through where you tanked the full barrage of a manticore's attacks and survived. You would have never survived if u had mayhem on.
whats the name of the plugin i dont find anything
Is it not worth using thralls for sol heredit?
Thralls don't work on Sol. He's immune
Nice
this was really cool to see. i'm hoping they make adjustments to the weapon, like sote maze doesn't pause it which seems a little odd to me. the stacks not pausing on the end of the wave was not surprising at all.
anyone have the tiles?!
Read the description
Is there a reason you need to do 2 clicks when setting up an offtick? E.g., at 19:12
First click is to offtick, 2nd is to not get attacked by other manitcore behind pillar
whats the sound the shield attack makes again? :D
RAAAAH
@@GnomonkeyRS I'd argue it's more of a "sploosh"
No its more of a meow @MelakDX
Terrible vid to label a “guide for learners” northwest pillar ftw
Relentless is so free. Crazy you said it's bad early. You don't take any damage if you just pray correct.
I don't suggest learners who won't catch all their prayers correctly take an Invo that punishes them that hard. If you are farming, sure.
@GnomonkeyRS I suppose that makes sense. Back when I was learning relentless even before update was a go to because it was just less scary than other options. BTW I just got pet on 106kc. Surely you got it soon
@@GnomonkeyRS you're not wrong but I feel like quartet would screw up a learner over relentless (from a learner with 2kc)
:( Still no pet
Northwest pillar is better
It factually isn't. For many reasons.
@@GnomonkeyRS It is though. You're the only person who says otherwise. :D
Gnome random question ;
A few buddies and I were shooting around ideas, one of them mentioned a ring like the blood fury, viable anywhere in your opinion if the item were to exist ?
No, healing in this game is broken and extremely hard to balance. I don't think Bloodfury should even be as strong as it is
@GnomonkeyRS I don't disagree, it's really nice at some points when solo bossing, some including myself have made it a crutch. Your videos have helped me get out of comfort zones and challenge myself. Keep it up man.
