Basic Tornado Dodging Techniques for the Corrupted Gauntlet

This video covers some very basic concepts that can help players maintain a more controlled approach to the tornadoes in the Corrupted Gauntlet. It's not meant to go over anything particularly robust as it is focused around helping people survive in a more controlled manner as opposed to finding optimizations. This is not a full guide on everything in the Corrupted Gauntlet either.
This is my first time trying to live commentate something that has any depth to it, and, as someone who has trouble simultaneously walking and chewing gum, it was a lot tougher to do that I thought, so sorry for any mistakes in my speech. I tried to adhere to everything I focused on, but I was too focused on the commentary to stick to the two-row idea perfectly.

10/10 guide, even just the running through it when its close is a phenomenal tip, I would do it sometimes and die other times when they were further away not knowing what went wrong, this is such a big help thank you so much!

[@curycurries9348]

Everyone has different techniques, but I’ve not seen the centralization before and it absolutely clicks when trying to form a stack of tornados. Will be using this method. Thanks man!

[@CaptBartBortlett]

I'm really glad to hear that! I was trying to find the techniques that were as universally applicable and approachable, and so far everyone has been very positive on it!

[@UnkillableJay]

It's crazy that other people can vocalize their split second decisions. I'm too busy making the decisions to know how to describe them as I go so it's very impressive that he can describe what he is doing in real time. The centering technique might actually help me get a corrupted kc, I already find myself doing the box running with my 31 regular kc just through the muscle memory that doesn't get me killed.

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Thanks for the comment! Best of luck going forward. It was my third take for the live commentary. I ended up killing myself while focusing too much on the thought process both the other times lol. It ended up making me oversimplify the kill and play it even more carefully than usual, and that's exactly what this video needed.

[@cuttin3048]

This video is phenomenal, I had got about 25 kc but struggled to get consistent runs as I kept getting stacked out by the nados, used your movement tricks and this video to better understand the pathing and now getting consistent kc's. Much appreciated.

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Glad to help! Keep at it!

[@stoicpaws403]

Excellent video, thank you so much! The "two row" section was insightful and very well done. You explained it flawlessly.

[@bryceblake7432]

gotta be the most underated guide for this game regarding any content. I keep dying 3rd phase and this makes it seem so much easier.

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Glad it's helping! Best of luck on the grind!

[@006legacy]

I know this is a late comment but I just wanted to thank you SO MUCH for this video. I've been struggling with consistent CG clears for a while now, breaking my head trying to figure out what the "tech" is to make Hunleff fight consistent like most other PvM encounters and this was it. Centering before tornadoes to better stack them all makes the entire fight such a breeze.

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Glad it helps!

[@Sir-Ham-Cheese]

The way you explained it was really good, i kept planking on that 4 tornado phase but im gonna try this tomorrow im feeling confident

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Best of luck!

[@MrMrwhisker1]

Thank you for making this. I've been trying to find ways to make gauntlet less scary for my hcim, especially when I get boxed into a corner. I think the "avoid dangerous rows" technique will help the most

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Best of luck! Hopefully you get spooned what you need

[@parko3327]

Super helpful man, thanks for this. I'm a bit late but absolutely sucking at corrupted haha, this helped me understand the movement so well dude, cheers!!

[@itsRipe]

done a lot of kills but knew I needed to do the tornadoes better, ty for explaining their patterns fully - this will help a lot

[@MisterrJames]

great info, was really struggling on how to path with those tough lava patterns in the end

[@gunnerstone120]

Thank you so much for this video. Got my first corrupted gauntlet kc today because of you. After hours and hours of fails (getting t2 armor / 2 t3 weps) I can finally rest easy knowing osrs cant gate-keep content from me. After knowing tornado follow mechanics, made the fight so much more manageable.

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Nice! Corrupted Gauntlet is honestly one of the toughest pieces of content to learn, so I'm happy that this video helped you break through the entry barrier. Keep it up!

[@calmbro1970]

Thanks for the information, this is a really good video.

[@brucewayne9734]

Just got my first CG kc after watching this, made the room way calmer being able to handle the tornadoes! thanks a bunch

Really helpful! I'll try and get my first CG kc with these tips. Thanks

Good luck!

[@chrisl4784]

Explanations look good. Look forward to trying to use this tomorrow. 2 days into my corrupt gauntlet learning. And those late tornadoes have been the bane of me today.

I had 2 kills and 28 deaths before watching your video and was struggling to keep trying after failing so much.. since watchin your vid i died first time then got 3 kills b2b. great guide appreciate the time you put into this

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Thank you! Congrats on the recent success!

[@huge-dude]

Really good video, I haven't even stepped into the gauntlet yet but this was both well explained and to the point, i'm sure it'll come in handy

[@RW720p]

in the third phase how did you manage to keep him In the north part of the room?

[@CaptBartBortlett]

He can target the entire room as long as he's a tile away from all walls.

[@RW720p]

I see. So is it a good idea to scout him until he is in a similar position, a tile away from the wall. But you can’t walk under him, because it will move him right?

[@CaptBartBortlett]

@@RW720p Well, most people wait until he's dead against the wall and then pull him away from it by going to an opposite side. Personally I just ball in and if he's in the middle then that's where he stays.

[@david-Davidson]

I was getting specked out by the nados in round 4, so I watched this and tried to put it into practice now I'm dying on round 2; I'm getting significantly worse the more I practice lol

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Try to make sure you aren't stopping when the tornados are next to you. Enabling true tile in either runelite or the Jagex client gives you a much clearer idea of where you are since the actual animation of your character running is almost always inaccurate.

[@nikoswat123]

i mean good guide if u learn fast by watching something. I dont think about these things at all when doing the boss tho. Died like 10 times before getting my first kill. and even then i kept dying the next 7 hours with kills between deaths. But mostly deaths. At the end muscle memory kicks in and u just do it. Eitherway if ur new to corrupted gauntlet just jump into it and get the hauntlet plugin with sounds of when to switch prayer and ur pretty much good. Might be frustrating at first but it wont take that long before u get the hang of it

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Yeah this is only for tornado/floor stuff for the people who really struggle with that but don't have as much difficulty with the prayers and whatnot. I didn't want it to be particularly long because it's mostly top-level concept and not nitry gritty

@@CaptBartBortlett I am curious, is walking viable for gauntlet? like Vorkath acid phase

[@CaptBartBortlett]

@@Hvleos It is, but you can't attack with staff/bow once the tornadoes get one tile behind you. You can tile drag with halberd if you wanted.

Great info thank you

[@niinhell]

bro died on 3:27

[@CaptBartBortlett]

Visuals don't match your position in-game. Animations lag you behind, so good dodging will frequently make it appear as if you're getting hit
