Wow, reading the comments, so many people don't seem to understand that people who don't have max pvm gear exist. As an ironman with only necro as my viable style I appreciate your work!
To add to this; it’s nice that you don’t obsess over kill times and show us the mechanics and how to actually get a kill before sweating over things that should come later.
t95 is tankier and does significantly more damage, so I'd use as much of it as you can. I plan on releasing content in the near future toward more geared players, so be on the lookout for that if you're still struggling
Every few kills when I walk under I get pulled out- it almost looks like theres like a magnetic force keeping me away. I've tried stopping attacking a couple seconds before, tried using cease... nothing stops it. Not even using revo..Doesn't happen to other people... Fight is very easy for me other than this annoying people who want to do duos. Anyone have ANY idea what I'm talking about? :(
So, if you are trying to walk under immediately after snapping back from a time warp, you could get a dead click, which basically means that your click just doesn't register in the game. That is the only thing I could see being the issue here. If it's not that, then the only explanation is user error, unfortunately.
Do you think P4 is doable without d4ed4 and just power gear? Because it looks like you tanked a ton of hits with devotion lol. Guess I need to get a tank switch!
It's definitely doable with power armor. The big thing about devotion is that it lets you tank melee slams for A WHILE and not really worry about lightning. I had multiple test kills where I tanked slams for so long that he never did the second and third one, it just canceled the mechanic. Similarly, the extra HP from tank armor and the extra dodge chance make p4 super comfortable since Kerapac is one of the few bosses that is meaningfully affected by dodge chance. If I didn't have ed4d4, you'd just have to dodge lightning and use a little more food in p4. The devoted is nice for p4 for sure, but as you saw, I really wasn't eating food so, I could've just ate more and not used devoted (which is what I do with my max gear build).
This was before the haunt nerf. Your damage will be about 10% lower but you have so much more adrenaline and don't need to spend a ton of cooldowns resummoning all of your guys. Overall, I'd say the fight is easier, but a little longer.
yeah, overloading your sticks is more resource intensive, but you don't need to wait for them to build up, so I find it to be worth it even if the effects are pretty minor.
Time warp -> Death skulls -> 4x autos/basics -> living death last tick of TW lets you immediately death skills again and stay under living death the whole time as it lasts until next time warp. Huge DPS boost For reference: th-cam.com/video/e5gR5ZHj808/w-d-xo.html
This is a learner guide that is focused on getting people in the door. If you look at the gear setup, this is more focused on getting comfortable kills rather than getting the absolute fastest kills possible with the best gear possible. I'm sure it's significantly more damage, but doing that exact rotation is above the scope of my videos.
Thanks for your comment though! I'm still getting a grip on p4 but am comfortable for the rest of the fight, this will help me get to p4 faster to practise, thanks!
The goal of these guides is more to get people their first kill rather than teach them how to play super optimally and have the best gear for the job. Typically having a bigger health bar and more dodge chance will give less comfortable players more breathing room. Once they're comfortable, they can switch to power armor of their own accord.
I would try moving a little sooner then, that is likely the issue. If you're a tick too late, then you'll be mostly under him, but you'll still get stunned.
So your echoes use basic abilities on the kerapac clones, so if you drop them too low (i.e. you personally damage one down to 10k) and one of your echoes is alive, they might end up killing the clone. The clones do also keep taking poison damage, so if you'd like, it might be worth stopping at 25k instead, since your conjures take a few seconds to stop hitting them.
@@raphtheboygenius Sorry, I meant that my echoes die! Your guides have been helpful pushing what I'm able to do, but I still struggle to keep up and with kerapac it's definitely the last phase. I try to manage adrenaline with time warp and have devotion up. But when my echoes die I end up getting hit hard.
Oh I see, so this is where the powerburst comes in handy, what you can do is grab a clone for the full heal, living death, time warp, grab a far clone, powerburst of vitality, then grab the original clone. I actually messed that up in this video, but if you do that, your far clone will have 20k hp which helps it tank for significantly longer. Try doing that and let me know if it helps. It's a lot to do in a short amount of time, but it's key to getting clean kerapac kills.
I know you want to have a easy mode kerapac HM.. and i thank you for that but to note the dive kerapac mechanic when you dont move away he takes less damage. so ideally to move to phase him faster
lightning is usually one of the hardest mechanics for players who aren't good at movement to deal with, so I think it's easier to stand still and tank the dive than it is to move and try to dodge lightning. Further, poison damage is not reduced and this build does a lot of poison damage which is worth keeping in mind.
which parts are you struggling with? I recently started offering coaching, so I'd be willing to help you out with it 1 on 1 if you fill out the form! Here's the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/2deto3rWHr4/w-d-xo.html
@@raphtheboygenius it's the p4 for me I managed to do 3 kills yesterday but those were a struggle also this whole time warp thing confuses the hell out of me lol
Basically, time warp snapshots all of your ability cooldowns, hp, prayer, adrenaline, and your position in the arena and then reverts you back to those numbers after 10 seconds. Typically, I like to use big abilities with long cooldowns during time warp because you get their cooldowns refunded. So, good abilities to use during a time warp are living death, death skulls and life transfer. It is not good to eat during time warp (unless you absolutely have to) or drink prayer pots (because you'll lose the prayer points).
this is a low-effort, minimal requirement guide on how to do this boss. therefore this boss is made with budget in mind. I also don't have a god book for the same reason. none of my guides have super expensive items because amulet of souls and sometimes cinderbanes.

I try my best to make everything accessible, I'm glad it's reaching you guys :)

been trying hardmode kera all week finally got my first kill because if this thnak you frfr youre guides are top tier
Hey man, awesome guide - it helped me get my first kill then again and again until i got a scripture of jas :D
that's awesome! I'm glad to hear it!
As someone with 20k hm kera kills, I appreciate you making this video to reach players that might not have ever given him a chance!
That's the goal! I can already kill all these bosses, and I think it would be better if more people could make some of the money that I did :)
if someone has multiple t95 armor pieces how many tank pieces could we get away with substituting? in my case i have all t95 except boots and top
t95 is tankier and does significantly more damage, so I'd use as much of it as you can. I plan on releasing content in the near future toward more geared players, so be on the lookout for that if you're still struggling

how are you managing 2k poison hits? I'm maxing out at like 700

@@raphtheboygenius cool thanks. I also realized there was an "overload" option on the sticks I hadn't seen before (I've never used them).

P4 is doable in power armour. I have power with bis perks from wiki. I was able to do it.

Yea I know. I love your guides. A bunch have helped me learn mechanics. I was trying to reply to the comment above me.
any idea why kerpac says "your devotion wont work"
the devotion prayer doesn't work, only the devoted and enhanced devoted perks will
For his first mechanic, even when I stand under him I still get hit and have to kill the rift
I would try moving a little sooner then, that is likely the issue. If you're a tick too late, then you'll be mostly under him, but you'll still get stunned.
Do you use the bone shield?
Yup, although you don't need to use a ton of defensives here. With that being said, there is basically no reason to turn off bone shield.
Lmaoo that was a god devotion🤣
If you mean during the melee slams, that was the devoted/enhanced devoted perks, just goes to show how powerful they are, especially at Kerapac.
@@raphtheboygenius oh i know, just was amazing to watch how many times it went off lol you stood there forever
Is there a reason that my clones end up dying I'm not sure what's happening

i am learning kerapac, can someone pls explain why in 7:29 he didnt get stunned, when he jumped on him?
If you have the pontifex ring overcharged, you get the passive of not being stunned even if you're not wearing it.
@@raphtheboygenius Thanks a lot for the answer :)
Just in time lol
him and raksha are the hardest bosses I just can't kill these two.

why not use essence of finality?

These comments are hilarious.
Why death warden?
And not t95 gear?
This is a learner's guide. The vast majority of people don't have maxed gear, so the point of this guide is to make Kerapac more approachable.
@@raphtheboygenius i agree with that. but they've made t95 gear so easily achievable.
bis mage/ranged is 4-10b necro is 2b at best.
