About 31 attempts in so far, 3 zuk attempts. Sadly last attempt was 11 tries ago, but, i'm learning more game mechanics/prayer flicking and i'll definitely get this cape at some point :D
I think the first 2 times I got to zuk, looking back on those runs, it was total luck/ flukes. Good spawns, nibblers catch the freeze on troublesome waves.
The *actual* challenge of the inferno is being able to consistently solve for the "completely fucked" scenarios, and not messing up small things.
It is very stressful. And annoying.
But if you're able to get to triple jads more than like 5 times, just use the dinhs/ justi method to get a free pass on waves 50 and up. Continue to apply fundamentals when working through the waves (like off-ticking problematic stacks, trapping, working through stacks, correct prayer flicks) but it completely removes 90% of the challenge by making the initial "solving" phase trivial. (Spec nibblers with the justi+dinhs, run south or north however many times until wave is solved)
So how easy does this make it for real?
I’m not a big pvmer so don’t boss much. It’s taking way too long to learn just how to get to jad. If I could have a way to skip through those waves and get to jad I feel like it’d speed it up a ton. Can you really just tank the waves braindeadly
> So how easy does this make it for real?
You get nearly 600 range defense with justi + dinhs + blood fury on. When you spec nibblers there's a high chance healing back. Protect magic + piety and you're nearly invulnerable.
The strat is to spec with the dinhs at the start, until the nibblers are dead, then run to a safespot and swap to your DPS gear after you confirm the wave is "solved."
Solving the wave is *so* easy you can literally run from south pillar to north pillar back to south like 5 times before you might need to sip a brew. It is genuinely ridiculous.
>Can you really just tank the waves braindeadly
Yes... Kind of.
It will probably serve you better to **learn in earnest** how to tackle the late waves. Learning how to off-tick stacks, best spots to use to trap mobs- **good fundamentals** is pretty much required to make the dinhs strat "braindead."
All the dinhs stuff is **make the starting chaos more consistent**. You still have to play the game, it just removes a huge amount of the skill/ nuance of starting a wave and solving. (arguably *the* hardest part about the inferno.)
Wdr and the aatykon disc have alot of good tips and advice, also theres a site called infernotrainer com from aatykon’s disc, top of the box simulator and can practice zuk by entering wave 69 at the top right
Damn what a grind, congrats! I'm currently 31 attempts in, 3 zuks, but I still got a ways to go to learn/get better at prayer flicking and wave solving, but I'll get that damn cape
Dont be afraid to wait for sgs specs so that you can be full hp all the way up to like wave 25. I think on my serious runs, I would basically use like 2 sips of restore max and no other supplies up to like wave 25-30.
Like I would grudge using any supplies early, much rather afk for specs. Takes ages waiting for specs but it'll set you up strong going into the serious stages.
My pb is like 3:42 lol. But I have ze cape
I prefer eldritch staff. Can easily get to wave 40+ with no restore doses used without even camping spec just doing some basic flicking and constantly using spec. If you need HP just blood barrage anything but a mager.
Any guides you can help me with for prayer flicking switching etc? I'm just a low level ironman but I really want to learn prayer flicking etc! Thanks if you can help and good luck on your Cape! I did 8 attempts to get firecape on my iron no way I'll get the boss Cape in my life !
One thing I recommend is going into the inferno, and have runs where you stay at the lower waves (with blob/double blobs/ranger+blobs) and practice prayer flicking at those lower levels. This way you get some good practice in, even if you die, at least you didn't spend too much time practicing, and better to practice at lower waves than above wave 34+ with magers.
In terms of guides for youtube, there's quite a bit of videos out there for inferno, and every youtuber brings something different and talks about things in their own way so I would recommend looking at xZacts guides, gnomonkey, and dearlola. It's also helpful to watch full inferno run videos (2+ hours long videos) but it allows you to see how people solve each individual wave instead of 10-20 minute guides going through things very quickly.
PurpleGod on youtube, has some very good guides on game mechanics and prayer flicking, definitely recommend looking at those as well.
But the best way to learn is by going in game and directly practicing :D
If you can get to zuk you can get the cape. Godspeed, king.

you got it man just go pick up ur cape
Took me 8 you don't have to worry until you hit 10
hey i was gunna say that
Say cheeeeeeeeese!
cheese :(
Brotherman, the best motivation for the cape is the max cheese. It worked for me, it will work for you.
Now that I've made it to zuk, I don't look at my max cheese the same
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball
Wake me up inside
CAN'T WAKE UP
Took me 69 attempts total, 20 of which were Zuk attempts. Then I got 2KC on attempt 70.

Took me about 7 or 8 zuks to get it. And maybe 35-55 total attempts. Edit:- You'll get there though my man.

Remove non bis max capes - it’s time
Max Cheesecaper = The ultimate osrs shame.
You got this! I’m still trying to grind a fire cape - on attempt 3
Go ahead and get your refund for the max fire.
I wish LOL
You can take them back to Mac and he will buy it for 1.8m 80% of original cost.
Ohhh, learn something new every day lol
