To make it slightly more afk, I don't tele out after every kill and just walk back to the starting spot. Persistent rage helps by letting you start at full adren, and you have to remember to use the Prism of Restoration to restore your blood reaver hp every couple kills (though I've accidentally killed my familiar a couple times by forgetting to do this). Starting with lower HP isn't really a risk as well because you heal back up to full pretty fast.
Sick! I always got relatively close to being able to Full Revolution him while messing around. This guide is super helpful for knowing how to do it successfully now! Thanks for the awesome guide and cheers!
Another method, if you don't like banking every kill at the cost of afkness, use an essence of finality with saradomin godsword special to maintain prayer and hitpoints.
I would just liek to say and fill in some information, if you stand under him for 1 minute he will stand up. granting thats IF you survive. so if you stand under for the whole minute he will stand up and onto the next phase
Thanks for all the help with the guides throughout the years Protoxx! Your Fight Cave guide finally got me my Fire Cape way back after more attempts than I care to admit. Crazy to think I'm AFKing Kerapac now. The PVM journey has been a blast so far :D
Kerapac is actually the first intermediate boss I ever attempted. First I tried mage, but wasn't able to phase him before lightning, so then I tried range since he's vulnerable to hexhunter, which I happened to have, and it worked great ! I can AFK him with my range setup now, which is still surprising to me because I'm awful at PVM 😂 hex with biks is a great method though if anyone is wondering if you can do this with range.
Hey, was just checking this setup a few daysa go. An enchanted Champions Ring is marginally better than a Reavers Ring. 4% crit and 4.5% extra crit damage vs 5% crit and -5% accuracy.
@Protoxx thanks for the info. After completing a mind-numbing amount of quests still needed before I can do this(some of the items are locked behind quests) I will be giving this ago.
Wouldnt a masterwork spear of annihilation work better since its bleeds based? The armour spikes already add the abyssal parasite effect. What are your guys thoughts on this?
The zuk cape and slayer assignment aren't necessary for this in my experience. It'd help, obviously, but still. Granted, I use the magic method, but meh. I also don't quite have the dps to force him to essentially skip the jumps, but that's not THAT bad.
@@ProtoxxGaming Everything but the jumps is afkable. You can either facetank the Tear Right Through You attack or anticipate it, and I know if you have at least Elite Seasinger dual wield and take pokes while he's jumping (and you can just facetank the third, he stops the constant melee hits thing on that one) he skips lightning. Phase 4 is a DPS check. Might be good to specifically pop Sunshine for that one, but it isn't necessary. Dancing around the jumps and doing manual ults isn't all that much of a hassle here. I use the Bloodreaver, and honestly I've been leaving the scrolls in the bank to have more room for drops. No need to leave the instance.
I'm a noob pvm'er to it might seem impossible but you can dothis just start low and keep progressing step by step I'm up to vindicta not stopping vindicta till I can kill her flawlessly then on to helwyr just gotta keep progressing slowly remember the only person you're competing against is your self and you can totally beat that guy
Its very similar! The bar, familiar and gear setup are slightly different. Hellhound wouldnt work well for example, as u need the blood reavers extra dps
@@thatduck8000 thank you kindly sir. I'm an avid player just been away for the past couple months. I know of the new abilities I just hadn't seen the icon yet
Not only do you need to heal the blood reaver, but starting the kill with 100% adrenaline is kind of important. Perhaps using the persistent rage relic (to gain adren) and those prisms you could sit there. Edit: In that case you would also want to use a powder of penance for prayer
@@ProtoxxGaming Yeah that seems to work for me but i keep dieing using your melee bar so i've used berserk after dismember and that seems to work ok, i've swapped death ward with persistent rage but i still die sometimes. Same goes for magic but i was using a vamp aura so that was the reason probably. Using range with botlg and splintering arrows seems to work the best for me, you lose like 6m per hour with bik arrows lol.
I should have clarified that, my bad. The dark Ice Sliver allows you to do that (it takes off the cooldown from destroy though unless u also use the main hand) which is why you can't see destroy on the bar
Yeah I generally get melted on the first slam. Even with reaver set to 1 second with a prism of restore going I gotta panic eat. Got everything in your setup to a T there
@@ProtoxxGaming alright cool thanks, i don't have a lot of free time so I usually just afk stuff in the bg while im in class or whatever just trying to learn what things I can and can't get away with
Those are the 4 perks you'd want. You have 4 slots (2 on legs and 2 on body). The only perk I didn't have was absorbative 4. (I still had enhanced devoted on my gear) but it definitely increases ur full afk odds
You are armed with armor combining every material for dragon to literal god chunks, the spine and jaws of an abyssal demon, constantly inflicting his body with parasitic demon flesh, slice through with frozen shards of an arch-glacor, sucking his health like a vampyre, fighting alongside a demonic pet that heals you, shielded from some his power through the enemy of Jas, calling forth the magical power of Tzekhaar, and he can still kill you sometimes. If anything this shows just how much a chad Kerapac is.
Everytime i try kerepac i die, and here you are afking. I wish rs had a system slightly better than revolution. Full manual is so sweaty, i keep quiting the game afted trying it.
Well, i use something called semi revolution, i use my adre dependent abilities with manual and the basics with revolution and at the same time i config the keybinds of the basic abilities to use them manually when i need it.
@@ProtoxxGaming I do that to soul flick, but there is only so many slots on the bar, and things like surge trigger automatically. If i just click the ability it doesnt always trigger, so i may to to right click activate. I tried to learn shield switching at arch and died many times. Easier to have devotion on the bar with an easy keybind like z.
@@FARCAYAS that's not semi-revolution, that's "Revo Basics". And it's something we RS Mobile PVM'ers rely on to do PVM in our Smartphones. It's okay on the PC Client sure, but it really shines on Mobile.
For so many requirements to kill this boss I guess you make a lot of money from this or not, I don't really like to kill boss most of them just give trash money
This is why I've stopped feeling bad for pvmers complaining constantly. Dudes (not you, Pro) can be camping high level bosses with "very, very minor" risk and somehow whine that their 30+m an hour isn't good enough.
No high level PvMer is complaining about money lol, and mid level PvMers who want to afford a 5b gp bow are obviously annoyed at how expensive high end gear is now.
The complaints from High Level PVM'ers are more about how combat feels clunky and how to make better interfaces. The only people complaining about money are the ones who feel like they're experts just because they can make 8M/hr doing mediocre PVM, then realize that's not even good GP/hr when we have things like 500% Zammy, HM Zuk, HM Kerapac, and at the lowest echelon Raksha. So if you can do any of those bosses consistently and you're still complaining about your GP/hr then you just suck and your KPH are bad. Sorry...
@@Kranon Perhaps I am just trapped in a Reddit bubble, then. I definitely agree (even though I suck at PvM) that the experience is clunky. I cannot imagine how it feels being good at PvM and doing SwitchScape consistently.
Melee actionbar needs to be changed, replace hurricane with destroy (leng off-hand doesn't allow you to use hurricane nowadays)
just tried it out works pretty well thanks :D
What about necro
today I have decided to actually grab a cup of tea. I will see if this highness the experience.
Give us an update, did it work?
Can confirm. Enhanced the experience:)

Pinning your comment in case people would prefer that
Only problem is this is slower kills per hour losing out on your dps relic powers, but is more afk.
Pro tip- Only put in 18 scrolls to avoid killing off your reaver
Hope this helps
Sick! I always got relatively close to being able to Full Revolution him while messing around. This guide is super helpful for knowing how to do it successfully now! Thanks for the awesome guide and cheers!
It truly works...I didn't actually need the zuk cape but replace the scrimshaw with a superior version (currently afking while writing this comment)
And u used the same bar? :o
@@ProtoxxGaming yeah, same bar :)
me too~~ no cape c:
i think i figured out your plan Protoxx, all these AFK guides you keep making is just so that we grab a cup of tea, sit back, relax, and enjooyyyyyyy.
Can't make your tea if you can't afk so you've got that right ^^

I had the basic perks Precise 6 Equilibrium 4 on mine

Aint this the rakasha melee set up but without hellhound ? Or am a tripping lol
It's Similar yes.
this build works perfectly for Gregorovic too
Wonder if Jagex ever expected Kerapac to become an AFK boss this soon after release.
soon ?
The boss came out almost 2 years ago

Start on something like queen black dragon, god wars 2. If you will know every ability by heart I'd say all you need is pray flicking.
@@MichaelChiklisCares I started with qbd before gwd2 so can confirm this advice is great
What armor is that youre wearing?, sorry im new to the game and it looks awesome
The override? Shadow reef diver outfit (mostly) unlocked from premier club tokens
The hood is the combatant's hood
can someone tell me what the items are for the magic setup. i dont know what they are by picture alone.
Protox making afk videos now? Good lord, show me the playlist link pls :D
I don't have a separate afk boss playlist yet :P
@@ProtoxxGaming "yet". Start making one please! ;D easier to find guides that way
Isnt this just the afk Raksha setup more or less? Guess it's just that OP
Its very similar! The bar, familiar and gear setup are slightly different.
Hellhound wouldnt work well for example, as u need the blood reavers extra dps
Closer to the AFK greg setup
What was the ability I'm the number 2 slot on the mage bar? Love the vids they help tremendously
Greater sunshine. I'm sure the regular version would work too
Absolutely.
Like duck said, greater sunshine. Its sunshine but lasts a bit longer like a planted feet switch. Not required at all!

If you fail to DPS him? With this set up can you survive the lightnings? :( Thats what im worried about
Just tank it and eat a bit of food then :p you won't be able to full afk if u get lightning often
Amazing guide but i already was doing this with my own rotations and other equipment gettin 30-35 kills an hour
Who asked
Well non afk is always faster than afk so theres that
Woahh woahhh 👀🐸
Thought this was for hard mode.
hopefully it wont be afkable for coulpe of yrs
Power creep catches up with everyone at some point.
@@ixskill0z By the time it is, we may have a better boss, like it happened to GWD2.
Can i do this without banking? Maybe use the Prism of Restoration spell for healing the blood reaver each kill.

Now that you release an afk guide. They will nerf it. XD
Can I do this with animate dead, or not enif dps? Ironman btw lol
T87 but haven't tried kera since he came out for free death week
Yes, you should be using animate dead! Give it a shot with your setup
Hey man, what spec do you have in your Essence of Finality?
None, it's just there for accuracy/amulet of souls boost.

Do u take more dmg with melee than ranged?
are vestments a nono?
Can melee work with lanikea's spear?

Keep trying
@@ixskill0z oh i will, i just have same with zuk as i had with jad back in the day, took me forever not to be extremely nervous when facing him 😂
Give it a shot but ur going to have to remove overpower from your bar. U can semi afk but not full. Ull notice that the slam parts will eat u alive
@@ProtoxxGaming hmmmm ill keep trying at zuk then hahaha should get those capes individually at least at some point 😂
1:57 how can you use second ability for duel weapon ?
The Off hand makes it so you can hurricane with dual wield :) (It's a dark ice shard)
I should have clarified that, my bad. The dark Ice Sliver allows you to do that (it takes off the cooldown from destroy though unless u also use the main hand) which is why you can't see destroy on the bar
