im 15 sol attempts in and still struggling so this should be a good help thanks. i panic a lot when i get pushed to the wall and have to move to a new side which leads to me forgetting what attack was last. more attempts should hopefully lead to less panic. hopefully not too many more tries :)
When you notice you're 2 away from the wall, I'd suggest preparing to run to his east/west sides as soon as he phases. You could also opt for waiting for a special attack since you'll know which attack he's going to do guaranteed and dont have to guess
I feel your pain homie, I just hit 20 tries and still keep dying. I don't think I'm paying enough attention to him and always looking at the ground and get hit consistently by his take armor off attack, I literally never see it then it puts me into panic mode. I got him to 71hp once and that was like 12 attempts ago. Really starting to get frustrated with this but not giving up. Got to boss 4 times in a row today so hopefully soon 😢
@@Barry-Strange ah you are so close! I finally managed it at attempt 19! Survived with only 11 hp haha. My biggest help was being calm and brewing up after taking damage. You can tank so much as long as you dodge and heal.
Any plugin/tip to make sol's grapple attack text show above chat or something? I usually close chat during bossing, and noticed I am too zoomed in at sol to see above his head
There used to be one, Watchdog, but it's no longer allowed (thanks jagex). I generally think it's better to be zoomed out enough on Sol to make sure you can see the lasers, but if you wanna be zoomed in and still see the grapple without chat box open, the only real option I can see is there's a plugin that allows you to open and close the chat with a keybind so thats an option, or "chat panel" plugin can allow you to pop out your chat to the sidebar on runelite.
Also I think it’s good to look at the L corner method for the sol fight it makes getting a first cape easier and you only have to worry about one attack instead of keeping track of his attack patterns
Realistically the L method does require less remembering but at the cost of having less space to dodge laser and sands. When you're on the corner you only have 2 tiles to move to as opposed to 6 on the sides of Sol. Also, I've watched players who use that method go "brain off" and get hit by shield 1 attack because they aren't paying attention.
Rebind your f key for it. For inferno I use f2 for spells but since u don't really need it in colo I changed it to equipment so i dont need to relearn any muscle memory. That should help
Every osrs tips video or guide should be like this mate. You're a legend. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man! Will be making a guide for Araxxor when he comes out next week so stay tuned

@@stale95 bro I got it, 21st attempt
8. if you perfect parry the grab special, your next hit will be a max hit
Risky for the beginners
Watched this video right before going into Sol, got GM Perfect Footwork task. Thanks beast

Does the shield rotation reset after specials?
The grab special always gets me. The cyan text in chatbox is unreadable and I’m too zoomed in to see what he says above his head. Any tips for this?
Check out Wizzys video on using Watchdog plugin to make it easier to see
@@ProcessHF watchdog doesnt work anymore. runelite disabled it specifically in pvm locations
Rebind your f key for it. For inferno I use f2 for spells but since u don't really need it in colo I changed it to equipment so i dont need to relearn any muscle memory. That should help
Is tip #3 actually true? If he did Shield 1 and then the Sand pools, his next attack will be Spear 1? That’s completely news to me
@@OSRS2ndBase Yes
man i always get an unfavorable glass spawn
Solid guide
how do i get the gear switch easier

hey, thanks for making the video but written guides are actually more my thing
