Accidently published it before the HD processing was complete so it should be good in a couple minutes, up to 1080p One thing I forgot to mention is that when you get flurry -> minions the flurry continues into minions so focus on the prayer swaps as they can and will kill you
Something I noticed to differentiate between the central Cannon special and the Frozen Core special. For the Frozen Core, as soon as the ice is in place or close to being in place, the boss will stop looking at you and turn to face the center of the walkway, in addition to not attacking you anymore. If it is the Cannon special, the boss will not turn away from you, so in this instance I find it helpful to have myself off to one side so that if the boss does turn to do Frozen Core, it's more noticeable.
The added way of knowing is if he autos after the ice stops it will be a cannon. The autos even get cancelled when he does the core so watch out for him doing another auto if you don’t notice the sharp turn to the middle.
For Frost Cannon (East), you can tell if it's going to be the frost cannon or the ice beams based on the things that shoot out from the ends of the arena that signal the creeping ice. When it comes from the east, if it stops in the middle, it will be a frost cannon. If it goes past the middle, it will be the ice beams.
He always does a set of 5 attacks followed by a set of 5 more. This means only the 5th special can be a back to back. It also means b2b2b is not possible.
The only ice beam that really causes problems is the middle one when it spawns right in your path. If you start the mechanic in the southwest corner, you want to pull that beam south then run a round it to the north as fast as possible, even stepping a few squares towards the east to pull the beam to the wall faster if you have to. If you can get to the ice wall right as its disappearing, and keep going, you can surge through the east beam before the middle beam spawns, every time. Then wrap back around one more time as ice from the next mechanic forces you in. Ive found this method to be very very consistent
Im using a BiS mele setup for making a lot of 0-50 killstreak sets. What weapon i use depending on the mechanics: -T95 lengs by default, zerking on flurry mechanic. -MSoA spear with the EoF EZK use before pillars of ice so he can take damage over time while dodging the beams. -ZGS for the spec during Exposed core and before Frost cannon, but for Frost cannon i anticipate and reflect, then use resonance the last hit for full heal and reflect 10k damage back to him. -Noxious scythe, for using Meteor strike, Hurricane and quake to clear the glacyte minions.
Do you happen to have a link to this statement? Ive heard people say that its both intended and not intended but no one can refer me to a jmod statement.
Another thing you can do is for laser (frost cannon), shield switch then reflect, prayer magic and vuln. Then go into devo or something similar since laser is 3 tick. You clock the dps back at 30kish on higher enrage. Even still, veng is always nice :3
My biggest problem is surge being broken as hell During the pillars I'll run around the first one and into the middle of the arena , I'll surge when they get close and attack again and then walk or surge left , sometimes I get stuck and dont move . I'll click like a mad man while snacking my surge key bind. Any idea what's going on. My character freezes in place. This is the only way I die and I feel cheated cause its glitched or broken cause it makes no sense
Ya Waswere thank you so much for the advice on the second cannon. Highest enrage I have done is 251%. I am not that good at pvm yet but I have been practicing Elder God Wars, ED2, and Araxxi. Been tryin to get to 500% enraged for Iceborn title. So to add on from what you said about the res on 3rd hit, how do you know when the second hit comes. When is the exact timing is what I am tryin to say?
Everyone does what waswere does but i simply anticipate devotion, since you dont really use devotion otherwise up untill 1.5k ish for other things, then id say its better to devotion say the focus attack. Lots of options but if ur specifically struggling with the beam just devotion it! If im being honest i still devotion it and i use melee (ive pushed to 2k w/o any problem rly just havent been motivated enough to keep going for more xd)
ive been stuck on 300 enrage doing only melee, have tried to use range (sirenic and ascensions with ruby bak) and for somereason I just cant do it...I see the value in it but oddly enough I can not dps the exposed core phase fast enough. I dont know if I just suck lol or if my rotation is wrong? or if I am missing something but I just cant do ranged
the frozen core is the only threat for me I cant deal fast damage so I get punish real hard. For the pillar of ice it's the easiest for me just double dash and you are good to go no damage taken I dont think I even failed one this week
I'm pretty new to rs3 and just unlocked hard mode but what helped me during that is using devotion if I notice I'm not gonna break through it quick enough
Wouldn't recommend devoing the frost cannon at all. At least before the flurry fix you had to save devo for that and probably still do at maybe 2k+ as soulsplit would not out heal it, also the reflect method is just better. If you get b2b frost cannon you can debil+vit pot works pretty well
Im just about to start a push from 500% to 1000% flurry is heavily punishing at the moment if i flick wrong and minions are a nuisance. Other than that mechanica are still chill
I tried the reflect anticipate reso the ice cannon and turned prayer off before I hit reso and it killed me. So be sureeee you reso then turn off prayer. Lost a 6 ks (NBD) but I thought I would have the time to also click reso and I didn't.
Not yet, but it doesn't seem like enrage has as much of an impact as telos. The only known thing is that nilas is 2 + Streak/5 so a 50 KS would be a 12 nilas drop
The fact that ppl are getting 100+ streaks at high enrage with no nilas drops needs to be fixed… why is the item you need 30 of so rare? Most people get several orbs by the time they get enough nilas. It’s pretty ridiculous IMO.
@@mobius3466 nah g last time I checked boring wasn't a synonm for hard... by boring I mean boring. At 589 kc I've seen no unique drops, some of us have full time jobs and social lives I'm not here to streak to 1k streak and not enjoy the game.

Yes! it makes this sharp turn and it faces the exact middle

Thats great to know. I thought after the 5th it could be any given random spec. Thanks
This was a very well made video. Bravo, I watched this for a refresher and really enjoyed the video.

This is super helpful. Can you give some suggestions on pushing high enrage with magic? Especially the minions
Detonate ability clears them fast
Detonate and GChain
good to see that I'm already doing these things :D
another useful tip is target cycling since the clickboxes are so damn small on the minions
I sometimes get dead clicks at the far west when frost cannon starts, so annoying. Made me sign a couple times
Also, the ring will be need to be worn for the affect to be worn, a Jmod stated on reddit that they meant it to be worn and will soon be implemented
Good to know, likely gets changed next monday then
Do you happen to have a link to this statement? Ive heard people say that its both intended and not intended but no one can refer me to a jmod statement.
Can I get a full comprehensive guide on how to click my abilities?
You point cursor over a skill and press mouse left click.
Hope this in depth guide helped. 👍

Best thing u can do is practice the res timing in normal mode so even if u miss the reso u won’t get melted

I m not very good at PVM. I start to strugle past 250% with the extra minion that spawns. He consistantly hits close to 1k.
Why is everyone wearing elite Sirenic all of a sudden? Did I miss something?
Ur my 2nd favorite runescaper :)
The first one is Zezima tho so that’s for scale
Great! yet another unrealistic expectation for men!
Honestly been getting smacked by the boss. Learned a lot in this vid. Gonna go try him out some more
Dark Magic aura is also a great option with lots of hp and "downtime" from running pillars/etc... although doesn't help as much with minions/arms.
Does it matter which hand you dps if you're using range
No it doesnt, you cant splash at the arms in this boss :)
thanks for the bolstered minion tip. Didnt know that :D
ok so like, what enrage do u think is best to start the streak, i usually start at 0% and streak till i die
I feel 0 is best since it allows for the longest streak before having to reset and nilas quantity is based on streak not enrage
0 is the best as you maximize you streak length and 0-250 only takes about an hour and a bit
the frozen core is the only threat for me I cant deal fast damage so I get punish real hard. For the pillar of ice it's the easiest for me just double dash and you are good to go no damage taken I dont think I even failed one this week

You really don't need devo for the flurry spec, even at 1300% a single resonance is enough to no food it
Also use debil/reflect + defender + vitality pot for panic situation.
4:45 Frost cannon (west) but the compass shows that area as East?
He was calling where the ice was creeping from.
Im just about to start a push from 500% to 1000% flurry is heavily punishing at the moment if i flick wrong and minions are a nuisance. Other than that mechanica are still chill
If you die during a kill streak, what’s the best enrage to start from?
0
I tried the reflect anticipate reso the ice cannon and turned prayer off before I hit reso and it killed me. So be sureeee you reso then turn off prayer. Lost a 6 ks (NBD) but I thought I would have the time to also click reso and I didn't.
Why do you gotta turn off prayer
@@kishredbird3599 I don't suppose you have to.
But when you reso and then turn off prayer you get a larger heal.
do you have any information on the droprates of the rares ? also very informative video !!
Not yet, but it doesn't seem like enrage has as much of an impact as telos.
The only known thing is that nilas is 2 + Streak/5 so a 50 KS would be a 12 nilas drop
@@WaswereRS That also appears to be true for pages drop quantities from my experience, though pages seem significantly more common.
Thanks been needing one
That’s my dad!
And my uncle!
I am stuck at 252% I find it a big difficulty jump once you hit the 250%+ .. minions harder to kill, mechanics come faster
I typically use the small range stun with chins, use needle strike, dark bow EoF (all with chins on)
Chinchompas+offhand ascension> Tendrils to rapid fire to dbow spec for close to instant clear. Use ss to heal
@@ZamoraksApprentice that's what I do 😋 but thanks for trying to help!
Tbf I don't go past 250% bc from the player studies best way to farm core is 0-250%
I’ll let you know when I get my next PB from this 👌🏻
Great advice :D
So helpful!

i on the other hand have 22 nilas, both weapons crafted and 36k shards and no leng drop >.
4:42 oh east i thought you said weast
pushing enrage for melee... dont..
Released this video after free death week, clearly merching onyxes. /s
I vuln bomb minions and arm.
After ~300% this boss gets boring I just reset.
By boring do you mean hard? Why would you reset lol. Just keep a streak for later
