Ironman tips

  • 💡 Serpentine helm negates poison and venom from Apmeken, Kephri and Zebak; otherwise pre-pot Antidote++.
  • 💡 Bring a Lightbearer unless you have supplies to spare. BGS/Bone dagger drain base defence, which scales with raid level.
  • 💡 Logging out counts as a death: if leaving, die in the room and exit through the door. HCIM: bring a teleport.
