I just recently got back into OSRS and forgot a bunch of mechanics etc. so having this as a refresher helped a lot.

This is a great vid I can send my buddy who's gonna be starting ToA soon, told him he can do these once he gets a fang and lightbarer (yes he's an ironman). Once he gets his bofa he can go up to 400, and past that if he gets shadow.

[@drakethsoul7690]

Did my first ToA on my IM after watching this, instant Fang + Thread :)

[@anorangewithacapybaraunder2370]

For the brothers out there looking to get into TOA, I was trash at pvm 😂 but after building some confidence in entry mode then going straight to 150, then to 300, then 405 (all solo), I quickly realised that the only change really is their increased hp. You can essentially ignore their increased damage if you have semi-decent clicks. Semi-decent meaning you can move 2 squares at a time and pray correctly

[@Mastercaped]

Another tip for beginners, if you're overwhelmed at BaBa/need to collect yourself or just want to get some free DPS in, just range BaBa after the boulder skip. BaBa will not attack you until she's done throwing boulders. It gives you like 6-7 free range shots. Just beware of damaging too much after the first boulder phase because it could immediately throw you into the second boulder phase if you damage BaBa below the threshold, the threshold is 33%. Attack with melee anytime to end the boulder phase. Blowpipe on BaBa is really bad so stick with Bowfa for this or crossbow.

[@xRubberDukcy]

[@SadSoulification]

Right-click and clicking attack when akkha teleports during cum phase is a nice way to path towards the next spawn and u usually don't get hit.

[@JM7900]

IMO add the akkha radius markers to description. Also p2 scaled w accuracy which was why u were impressed by 3 max hit augury

[@PointThree]

Yeah P2 is very weird, accuracy = max hits so using augury is very very good alongside minimizing -magic gear. The exact formula isn't known either afaik.

[@Bamtko]

Does it work the same for ranged?

Gnomonkey thank you for all of your guides and videos that you provide for the community. We all appreciate your efforts and dedication. I have a question for you and that is do you think some players are toxic in raids? In my opinion all the toxicity gravitates to these large group environments/game modes.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

There will always be toxicity/elitism. Best you can do is surround yourself with people who want the same things as you, and be a good example.

Serp guarantees venom with blowpipe on shamans, and with the qol change that keeps them from summoning thralls. Serp is very very good, i prefer it over face guard if it doesnt cost me a fang max hit.

For baba, if you have a bowfa and crystal armour, when you run up to the top DO NOT melee baba. If you continue using ranged, she will keep throwing boulders, allowing you to phase skip if you do enough damage.

I'm not sure if this is a stupid question cause I'm new to raiding in OSRS (only done TOB story and a failed COX duo) but would it be possible to have a gear guide for TOB like this too? I understand that TOB it might be better done in a team of 3 so you can have 1 style for each style of nylocas. I don't have an insane bank either I really need to get into some PVM

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Your best bet is to get all the Elite Void and do learner raids with that. ToB is the hardest of the three raids, but technically the least gear dependent because of Elite Void (this only works in ToB because everything's defense is drained to 0, you can't really use void anywhere else). My old ToB guide is still relevant

at 15:45. Why don't you kill the swarms first? And then the melee? I think killing the swarms is simular like doing damage to Khepri while he is down (because they heal khepri while he is down and killing the swarms prevents healing khepri) and then when Khepri is up (with low HP), you can kill the melee and finish off Khepri.
