- Next on the list of teaching you how to get into early game PVM is Corrupted Gauntlet, or CG. This is one of the most recommended early game money makers and teaches you a lot mechanically about PVM. If you want to get better at raids, prayers, etc. CG is the best place to start. This guide is less for Hardcore Ironman obviously. I don't recommend learning T2-T3 prep unless you are one of those. T1 is not as hard as people make it out to be, especially with full inventory of fish and having the knowledge of what you need before going into Hunllef. You will die, but that is okay. There is no gear requirements, and no death cost. This video has 3 kill examples with the same prep and similar times.
Don't be afraid to go in and learn. CG is anywhere from 4-8m/hr depending on your skill or you can get spooned like Hedron did and get 5 enhance seeds in 250KC and never have to go to the Red Prison ever again. (Yes the thumbnail log is real).

Hunleff be like "good job praying correctly. Here's 12 damage"
13*
No only once but 6 times back to back. :^)
Have you met Robert The Strong in ds2?
Clearly you haven't played toa. P1-P2 supply sink goes brrr
15 damage
This guide was extremely useful to me even trying out the regular Gauntlet at first. The lack of gear lack of real risk makes this a super accessible piece of content, I understand why you recommend people do this.
I hope these videos get more attention. You deserve it. Thanks so much. I listen to this at work.
Another tip that people might not know: hunleff only disables prayer during magic attack phase, so if your prayer gets disabled and you forget, pray magic. Hunleff might also switch attack style right after disabling prayer, in that case, pray range.
This doesn't apply to corrupted cg so it is useless virtually just tried a few attempts lmfao
@@jakemiller1449 delete this while you still have time
@@jakemiller1449 I've got 300 KC and I have never experienced it. Show me video proof and then i'll believe you.
@@jakemiller1449 this absolutely applies to CG.
Your brains useless@@jakemiller1449
Just got my first CG clear thanks to this exact vid, thanks man! Your guides are fantastic, some of the most chill yet fantastic stuff, thanks a lot!
Thanks for the guide, perfect timing been wanting to get into CG, got my first couple of KC, got prep down 👍 Hunlleff has been the most rewarding boss to kill so far
I have been watching your videos and it's genuinely made late game so much less scary. I just started learning CG the other day so I couldn't believe the timing of this coming out. Thank you so much for making late game less scary for this pleb
I say this with love and respect, CG is in no way late game
@@glesbygdas much as you're right in terms of the stats you'll most likely have after SOTE completion. Let's not act like multiple great players, the majority of reddit threads, and the majority of guides all say mechanically CG is harder than the inferno in ways...
Something that helps me and i dont think many know about, hunlef will do a low hum sound just before he does the final attack then swap styles.
So you can hear the hum, see him start his attack, and already click to the next prayer.
Can possibly give someone more mental bandwidth in situations where they may be struggling to react in time to the style swapping animation
The hum sound even has a unique ID per attack style. So you can use the SoundSwapper plugin to swap out these hums with Purrps "Ranged" "Mage" similar to how Hunllef Helper does
Yeah, Jagex added the humming much later, so alot of the older CG guides dont say anything about it.
I searched youtube for T2 prep guides. Ended up learning T1 is all I need. Good to know. TY.
Perfect timing, I was getting frusterated on cg and just pulled pet from 6 kc regular and want to get more consistent with cg.
Thank you! I just grinded out my first cg kc thanks to this guide and your encouragement, 39 failed attempts, got the KC on try 40. Now we just try to improve, ty king.
One step at a time! You got this. Get that spoon!
Just want to let you know, I've been putting off CG on my iron because it looked overwhelming to get into. After watching your video, you made me so curious to give it a shot instead of going to bed. Here I am, 12kc at cg deep with only 3 failed attempts. Your guide was straight to the point, and you're absolutely right. T1 prep is sufficient 💪
Thanks for the guide!
I always did tier 2 prep, but this is so much more relaxed, and just as difficult.
Few things very much worth noting, during prep phase it's relatively easy to keep track of the shards you need for your stuff. Full tier 1 armor and a T2 weapon costs exactly 200 shards:
Basic weapon = 20 shards
Attuned weapon = 60 shards
Every armor piece = 40 shards (120 for the set)
I generally tell people that you need 20 shards for a frame but want 80, and that the total amount of shards you're probably ever gonna use is 240 (with 2 vials and 20 crushed shards for the pots)
During the boss fight the hunnleff also has an audio cue for when it's about to swap attack styles, if you pay attention it'll do a kind of moan sound effect right before every last attack of its rotation. There's also a few tiles (every 4th tile in front of the doorways in the arena) that are 'safest' to stand on; tornadoes won't spawn there and in the final phase there's only a few floor patterns that light up there, and when they do you only have to move 1 tile.
Hope this helps any gauntlet gamers
Its like 3:38am, and I just felt like learning cg. Thanks 🎉
No joke, I just finished SOTE last week and wanted to learn G before CG and your only videos were years ago on it. Thanks for making a new one!
No need for notepad, gauntlet plugin can track everything for you.
What's the name of the plugin?
@ the gauntlet
Just use your ears and learn to count. Not super difficult, this is coming from someone with a mental handicap. Don't short yourself, you're better than that.
@@Michael-hw3vjless think better
Plugins - smfh - #mobilelife fml wish we had plugins... incoming notepad both irl and mental
Thanks for the guide man I’ve just started it and it really is the gate to end game I can already tell
The collection log in the screenshot is fkn insane
17:20 - from someone learning CG for the first time with not much bossing experience, who this seems kind of aimed for, in my experience T1 armour was much more punishing and mistakes always resulted in deaths where they didn't with T2.
It seems like starting and sticking to T1 prep is maybe just for if you're maxed stats and have the prayers unlocked or have a lot of CG experience already. Otherwise, making someone new to the content T1 prep is just going to make them feel like theyre not good enough to do this imo
I was doing T1 prep at first because all the guides say you should and not build bad habits but ngl it seems bs. I ended up switching to T2 prep and was finally able to kill it consistently which was nice and rewarding, I actually wanted to keep going because I wasn't dying almost every time now.
Learning and understanding T2 prep is more difficult, but once you're able to do it, you'll be able to do T1 prep so easy.
I'm now at about 150 KC and starting to feel at the point of trying T1 prep again, but mistakes still do happen at Hunllef so we'll see how it goes this time.
Something I never see mentioned in guides is also that Hunllef has a very audible hum before launching it's penultimate attack, which means you actually never need to count how many attacks it's performed of each style and can swap prayer with ample time, just be careful to not swap right on the hum 😅
I guess everyone different huh? I'm the exact opposite of you, tried learning with t2. Switched to t1 and I'm at 123 kc with consistent kills. Gl out their man.
That's good to hear! I do think starting with T1 is fine too, but it really depends on stats and being max cb or close to generally seems to be what people need for it
I mean, after 150kc making a lot of mistakes still seems like t2 built you some bad habits? For t1 you do have to approach it with a learner mindset, but a full inventory of fish gives you enough leeway to make some mistakes. Just make sure to camp full hp. I did t1 on my iron with ~80s stats and no raids prayers and it was fine
your first paragraph is kinda saying the same thing he is. yeah you die more from mistakes with T1, but that’s good cuz it teaches you to get better. T2 lets you gloss over mistakes so hundreds of kc later you still carry bad habits, where if you had learned the fundamentals earlier with T1 you’d be better off
t2 till 25 kc was good for me. Once you start killing him with a lot of food left is when i started to transition. I think its frustrating not getting any kc so I was happy to take it slower
Hes talking about kph for T1. Its zero if you die every time to the boss.
TY for posting this!!! I was watching your older ones and they were helpful but it's great to see a newer version. Currently grinding it now with only 15KC and 50ish deaths. It's been rough but I'm learning it more and more and I hope this guide can help me improve more of what I'm doing wrong
So main issue is boss fight same for me will try to do some sound swapping plugins to help me pray correctly
I appreciate the big focus on tick loss, big reason why i couldnt finish a lot of runs. Run out of fish because im too busy eating them and not hitting hunllef
Just wanted to come back to say this helped me a ton and am getting more consistent kills! The thing I realized is that when I'm dying to Hunleff, the things that were killing me would have most likely killed me anyways regardless if t2 or not, and usually I had hardly any food to get out of it. Now, even if I do make a mistake I have more than enough food to get me out of it, and I'm not coming into the boss fight already sweaty from doing t2 prep
This is a brilliant video and I’d love to mention it in a “no hullshit guide” I’m working on
I agree with the T1 over T2 approach. I been learning CG and I find trying to always go for T2 then failing is more time consuming then just getting T1 with bunch more fish and learn that way. Once I switched to T1 I found myself progressing more and stressing less over prep.
Just started watching you - you make end game content look super easy but youre way more chill than condor
Way more cringy
Love your sense of humor and guides.
ty for this. learning with t1 armor on leagues right meow. youre guides are awesome.
another tip if you dont want a certain t3 weapon, is that the third demiboss always drops the third weapon, regardless of boss. So if you kill Dragon > Bear > Bear, the second bear always drops the bowstring.
The Gnomerat CG guide, finally.
i literally have done 580kc on my iron with making t2 every time and i just didnt know t1 is way do-able lol i love watching stuff like this guide because its true what he says about breakng the t2 habbits. ive wasted 2mins every run times 580... i wish i would have see a video like this 2 months ago. thanks GM
I finished my first completion ever yesterday. It was T1 after 60+ deaths on T2.
Thanks for teaching us t1 hellheff, very simple and indepth as well, much love
Hearing hollow knight music in the background is the 2nd best part of this video
eating during tornados saved my life while learning this no idea why i didnt think of it that way
hahahhaha 20 secs in and i can already tell it will be once again great video to watch and learn something new XD thanks bud!
gnomemonkey thank u again for yet another good guide this content makes me wanny go out there and just do it keep doing what u love
I would note that he's maxed with COX prayers, and it actually matters a lot. If you are doing this with base 70s or base 80s t1 may just not be enough even with 25 fish. Steel Skin helps a lot so its worth trying for those ironman in the red prison early.
I've done it on accounts with 80 stats and no prayers. This guide also isn't just for irons. You have no excuse as a main not to have the prayers unlocked.
@@GnomonkeyRS Especially with the dex prayer scroll being so much cheaper nowadays
@@GnomonkeyRS Should have made the guide on that alt then. I see a guide on bosses done on maxed mains I dislike the video. Simple as.
That's fine, I'm not doing that. People have more than one brain cell
@@slackbabo3858kind of agree. I’d love to see the difference with lower stats.
Thank you brother, literally just finished Song of the elves on my iron
This guide tricked me into trying to learn CG again. Then I died 6 times in a row trying to eat, swap prayers, and dodge tornados at the same time.
Old Gauntlet guide was one of his first video 😢
So nostalgic
I see these comments all the time on your vids but I literally just best sote 2 days ago and I've tried gauntlet a few times without great success. Perfect timing
I've done over 500 kc doing T2 preps, finally decided to get my stats up, hopefully enhanced soon
Good luck!!!
Thank you so much, It helped me to learn and complete it
I learnt t1 prep and it just flowed better and means u get more times at hunleff because you dont fuck up prep
ty king , best guide out there hands down
Jagex definitely had high-level PVM in their mind with CG and SOTE. As an upper mid level player whos struggling to find something to stick to consistently, the more I play the game the more I realize CG was made with the intention to help good players bridge the gap to become great.
1. Its completely free and has zero gear requirements
2. Mechanically, its probably amung the 5 hardest PVM activivties in the game
3. Its not an hour per attempt so its less taxing on the mental aspect of the grind
4.Its phenomenal money
Ill be doing CG til I have it down, then ill be moving on to the inferno.
Came back a few days ago after my year long offseason. Im mobile locked (kids>pc) and sighed having to go back to cg because well.... it was rough. 2 days later i c the new mobile layout update is broken. Now im here and see you made a vid 6 days ago. Osrs is sayin its meant to be brother 👌.
You got this in the bag!
You got my sub brother i see you out here puttin in work
Finally can get into gauntlet!
One thing worth mentioning, if you kill a Demi boss and have the drop it cannot drop the same drop. So if you kill the bear and get the spike for the halberd, killing another one will drop the bowstring or orb
whewww just started doing Gauntlet and CG today and got 1 CG kill down. Need to improve on getting consistent kills but I’m going to follow the eat during nados tip (I’m a headless chicken rn)
what are your combat stats? i keep dying when hunleff has like 200 hp left, mostly low to mid 80s combat
One day im gonna do CG, did it once as a challenge but seeing people go dry here dreads me to no end.
I got my perfect hunleff CA while I was doing t2 prep up to 100 KC, and it motivated me to learn t1. It was def humbling still, and I still die on the occasion, but the speed increase is really nice. It's still tough not having COX scrolls though.
You know what, I agree, I need to get out of this headspace of ensuring I stay alive and just go for speed!
I'm definitely only taking t1 armor and 8 food into my next Hunleff, I need more gp an hour right away!
Who cares if I die on my hcim, I can just de-iron after and play a real mans game.
So true, fuck Ironman
Great guide . Learning on account now
I did the cg grind on a lower lvl gim without the 3 prayers started at approx 78 hp 78 range and mage i always did t2 prep because it helped me last the hunleff fight going to try it again with 90+ mage/range/hp with t1 prep
Worth noting for early ironman, the staff is significantly more dps than the other two weapons at very low stats (its max hit does not scale with magic level, only its accuracy).
For the Ironmen out there - don't skip Steel Skin (& Piety with melee). Having decent defense level with T1 armor -> less hits = less eating = more room for error & learning!
In my personal experience I would say learn T2 first if you lack cox prayers and max stats. When I was learning cg on my iron with 80ish combat stats I could only afford 1 or 2 mistakes per fight when doing T1 before I simply not have enough food to last the fight (Mind you I was also garbage at pvm). This is incredibly frustrating and imo a reason why cg is such a brick wall especially for irons.
So I basically started to learn to perfect T2 prep to a point where i would fail less than 1/20 runs. And because I was getting so much hunllef experience meant I could get to a point where I basically wasnt doing mistakes anymore and could do T1 prep. Also I hard disagree about bad habits from learning T2 prep. If anything I'm way more efficient now.
And I disagree with the sentiment that you SHOULD do T1 prep because it's the most efficient thing. Getting KC and having fun is what matters and if you're putting off CG because it's too punishing or dreadful/tilting then you're being inefficient in my eyes.
/side note holy crap stats matters for cg. Perfected halbert is almost 50% faster TTK at lvl 99 melees vs 80 melees according to my calcs. Meanwhile staff and bow are around around ~10% dps loss including prayer differences. No wonder I was running out of food doing T1.
This guide isn't directly for Ironman so I don't really approve of shilling T2. There's no excuse for a main at this point in their account not to just go buy a Dex/Arcane with how cheap they are now a days. I've also seen many learners fail the timer because they are going for higher tiers. If you want to get better at the game and PVM overall you won't be able to just brute force things with tanky gear. That's why it's a bad habit. You don't need Justi for inferno and you don't need T2 for CG. You just need to be willing to learn and get better. Learning IS fun, and getting better at the game to continue into the late game is fun
@@GnomonkeyRS Did you miss the part in my comment where I said running T2 got me good enough to the point of running T1 flawlessly? On top of that using T2 and facing hunllef repeatedly is learning, so does your route to mastery matter if the end result is the same? Is it a bad habit to use tbow in inferno because it makes it easier? Or should one stick to the Chad rcb to prove their manhood.
In my book I don't care about someone's route to learn. If they're doing the content and getting better that's all that matters. A bad habit would be the inability to move away from their training wheels and improve further.
Keep it real simple. If you have cox prayers run t1 if not run t2. I chose to do cg before cox and regretting it as im now 700 kc no enh..
"Getting KC and having fun is what matters" you are in the wrong channel, bud 😂Over here, we learn to min-max from scratch and if it ain't optimal, it ain't fun either.
I think getting more time on the boss is more important for learning, especially if you're doing it for the first time. Making T1 saves you like, what? 1:30?
That's huge if you're trying to make money, but if you're doing CG for cash on a main you probably aren't getting consistent Hunleff clears otherwise you might as well be doing raids.
Timely. I've been putting off jumping in because I've bee nervous to learn! 😅
Been waiting for this one lfg
I've done ~1800 gauntlets and only learned just now from 9:14 that you can fill vials from fishing spots -.- ty
Just started doing consistent Gauntlet on mobile. Abd was going to try to send some CG for the first time today.
One thing I didn't see mentioned that could be helpful for learners (correct me if I'm wrong) is that the potions act as stams as well.
I died 2 times learning cg its easy the prep was the hard part to learn for me
So now it will just be a skill issue! Awesome!
So hedron wants to flex her log so much that she forced you to make a cg guide just t use her log as a thumbnail
Totally the reason why I wanted to make an updated CG guide. Honestly the only reason I'm marrying her is for her CG RNG log
Great guide got it first try 👍🏻
Thanks for this! I tried normal gauntlet and got enhanced crystal weapon seed on kill 9!!! Then crystal weapon seed on 11
Grats!!! Rolling in cash, ezpz
its ricosuave32 rank #1 mining leagues 3. i really like the platinum hair mate. good look for ya. thanks for all the content and guides
The good thing about moons is that you can bring it to CoX and farm you prayers if you are a iron. It's absolutely not fun, but when you decide to create an iron you are shooting yourself anyway.
Ty for guides. MVP 🤙
Thanks for the guide, now I just need to stop getting murdered by Seren and I can use my knowledge.
Good news, inspired by this video I finally was able to beat seren.
Even following the advice here, there is certainly a learning curve to gauntlet...
It definitely has a curve but it's very fun to learn and anyone with enough time and practice can do anything in OSRS!
that log at the end hurt my soul
Tier 2 armour was for mid-level iron man to get an early bowfa. Now you can get atlatl and go to chambers instead.
Thanks for this new guides
Hedron just flexing on all the irons in the world
Ah the thing is that my accuracy is lacking considerably sometimes I go 8 - 12 attacks without hitting anything, looking at you absolutely melting the boss shows me I need to level up my ranged/magic first.
If you don't have high stats (you should, but if you don't) the staff is by far for best weapon because its Max hit doesn't depend on stats
Very good video. It would have been insanely good if you had done it with the gauntlet addon so that we could see your dps and other stats on the boss. Anyways, heres a like!
GM GM Monkey! I love these intros haha.
Learning this on mobile is a hell of a journey…
hold the notepad, cowboy, this ain’t a tarmac
Thank you! I was a tier 2er i just did 2 b2b tier1 kills around 10:30 kill times waaaayyy faster for me already lets gooo boys and i make mistakes still
Im really enjoying these teaching streams, can you do an updated one for DKs as well?
Probably not for DKs, nothing really has changed
i think the 'look how much food there is left with t1' is a bit unrealistic as most people starting cg would be around 80s stats and no cox prayers.
with these stats its a lot less forgiving for learners which is where t2 makes it easier to get into and start getting first kcs. other than that great guide!
And they will use all the food and that's okay. T1 overall is way better and I explained why in the video. Learning with T2 is like learning with Justi. You won't actually learn
Also just don't be an iron and go get Aug/Rigour, no excuse as a main not to have it at this point
@@GnomonkeyRS that's true, but someone doing cg as their first pvm its a lot bigger mountain to climb to get consistent with t1, where many might just give up and skip cg for other content. i'm not particularly talented gamer and i tried learning t1 as my first pvm and couldn't get a single kc within over 50 deaths and then just gave up lol...
eventually went back with t2 and was able to get kcs in that motivated to stick for the long term and eventually switch to t1.
@@GnomonkeyRSjust don't be an iron... Lol
@@GnomonkeyRS Why would a main even be doing cg? Use your brain.
For ironmen, if youre doing CG before cox run T2. If you have cox prayers run T1.

Hey Gnomonkey, I'm a big Hollowknight fan and I notice you use the sound track on your videos a lot.

I am very much. Might be my favorite game of all time
@@GnomonkeyRS Super cool! It's my favourite game too, even my RSN is Nail Master. would love to see you play someday
Good guide, although I prefer your "scripted" style of guide (e.g. 9:0 bandos) to this live style as it is often a little all over the place and hard to follow. I did watch the full thing and you mentioned that you need to cover 5:1 but I don't recall you actually going into it. I'd also have liked a more in depth breakdown of boss fight movement as its such a big part of this - timing walking over the yellow tiles, timing tornadoes, 2 tile pathing etc. you seemed to just assume that a noob could understand how to do this but more likely they'd just be spam clicking. I appreciate that this might be more of a noobs overview guide rather than an in depth scripted style that would take a lot longer to make.
I decided not to go over 5:1 because its not really something people going for their first KCs should be doing and is marginally better. I have a guide on pathing and I'm not going to completely hold their hands about that. Otherwise I'd have 2 hour guides if I assume every noob knew absolutely nothing. I don't think I will ever go back to making scripted guides. They don't do as well for the amount of time required, and people enjoy the more "chill" guide styles done via stream.
@ that’s fair enough. I assumed it is way more work to do the scripted style. Wasn’t aware of your pathing one will check that out. Maybe just chapters would help a lot for the live style.
It's hard even with scripted guides to remember to include everything. I'll try to be more precise in the future. I'm actually remaking a cm guide I did on stream because I felt like it wasn't concise enough
I feel like you could redo this one with a bit more overview at the start. Still not fully comprehending all the moving parts and steps here.
20:45 this is no longer true since Augury got buffed. DPS is now Staff > Halberd > Bow, though not by enough to matter (~5 second difference in theoretical kill time between bow-only and staff-only).
HUNYEF
That loot chest is a paid actor
watching again, such good timing for me. I Would you recommend minimum stats? Currently at 83 mage, range, str, 75 def. Got a perfect normal gauntlet the other day and 15 KC (not grinding yet just trying it out).
Every video I've watched with 2 perfect weapons and T2 armour has looked very rushed and RNG focused .
80 is plenty for t1
@@GnomonkeyRS thanks so much :)
Hi mate. Returning to say I got my first CG just now using the T1 method. 84 range 83 mage. Even got hit off pray a few times. It's doable with a bit of practice!
Thanks for the vid again. Really helped me man. Now the grind begins. let's get it!
really struggling with this now. only got the 1KC. any tips on camera set up? I feel I've got no space and seem to get stacked every time by tornadoes. this trick of moving 2 tiles doesn't work for me. Do you need to always be on the move?
Hunllef is pronounced Hun-THLEV, Welsh for nightmare
GEE-EM Mr. Monkey, thanks again for a guide for us that are a little smooth in the brain :3 any chance you would get around to doing a Nightmare guide?
Yeah, don't go there, ever. You're welcome
