The Gauntlet & Corrupted Gauntlet Grandmaster Speedrun Guide

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Been needing a guide on gauntlet speedies for a while, the only way to research this was watching records and digging through niche discords!

[@georgedaws1406]

I got 3:59 on regular gauntlet today, huge thank you for the epic guide. Onto corrupted!!

[@Papaconstantopoulos]

Thank you for this guide brother, it's funny that hundreds of kc here is still nowhere near enough information to get close to these times, so you're really really helping out with the extra analysis. Makes these terrifying tasks start to be approachable ty :)

[@darnit006]

Ive got like 800cg kc, have mastered 5:1, but I struggled so much with these speed runs. I watched your guide to get a couple tick manip tricks and reset times... I got both gm speed tasks done in 1 day :). Theres literally so much information in this guide that its impossible to not learn new things. Thank you so much!

[@VallianceRS]

I've watched 3 seconds and already know its a banger of a guide and given it a like. An hour guide!? You beast. Keep up the great work (Y)

[@swampman420]

(Y) bc kirby is the tits

[@Previn_S]

Oh baby 1 hour of the goat Kirby teaching me how to play the game step by step so I can flex on all the noobs and act like I know what I’m doing.

[@dartznight]

I kept getting frustrated not being able to get anywhere close to even the master cg speedrun time. I watched this vid and in under 2 hours of attempts I was able to get a 6:29 getting both master and gm time by 1 second so truly every tip in this video counted

[@sebastiaanb2651]

2x T3 weapons is perfectly fine for normal gauntlet as well. Total prep time 2:15 or less, fight will be ~1:30. Does require you to have 2 boss rooms next to each other. (Went bow/staff, hunleff had 80hp at 3min in my run - played it ultra safe to bring it home after.)

[@nicholasgreen4921]

Can confirm, got the mobile 4:40 on regular guantlet and I'm never gonna do regular guantlet again, thanks for the huge guide

[@almostfamous1685]

Just finished both my gauntlet speed runs thank you very much can’t believe how much RNG is involved in these tasks both took me 3 hours each. Just failing runs over and over again to shitty prep or mad 0’s in my 5-1 very rough CA glad there done ROAD TO GM!

[@TerryCLJ]

omg yesterday i spent 7 hours failing the normal cg for 4minutes.. after watching your video i got it in on my 3rd try today.. thank you so much Molgoat.. onto corrupted lol

[@ZRun001]

This is impressive and impeccably well done my dude 👏 The knowledge is much appreciated 🙏

[@ppinkevich]

Amazing video. Finally got my cg sub 630 last night. Now gonna do regular sub 4

[@quicksilver2923]

Found this in my recommended while grinding cg as my first real pvm experience. The depth in this video is awesome, learning how to use some of these tips will be great for keeping the grind interesting and speeding things up a bit. Definitely overwhelming but there's no rush to master it all anyways.

[@PloxPanda]

Wowwww I don’t think I’m ever going to go for a gauntlet speed run but there is so many helpful tips that will help me save a few minuets on just CG prep alone. Amazing guide

[@HiImSido]

Absolutely Beautiful.

[@RSMikeHawk]

thanks for the guide, got a 3:51 on reg gauntlet

[@leogould1383]

Best osrs guide I've ever watched

[@sunfish_bloop]

Just got both my GM times, thanks so much for the guide.

[@Adoptulous]

Thanks for the tips, crushed my master time on 45defence with your prep guide

[@dragan176]

Look at this graph meme is why I watch you

[@cousin7588]

just finished with 6:27 this was the hardest thing ive done in this game yet

[@swampman420]

[@Sowa238]

Thanks beast, got all CA tasks for regular and corrupted gauntlet

[@joebottini1743]

Thanks so much for this guide. This was really comprehensive and very helpful. The most valuable things for me were your recommended times for various parts in the run as those are really difficult to establish. I got 3:57 reg and 5:53 CG. When my friend went for the achievements, your guide was the first thing I sent. Thanks again, really appreciate this video and all in the series.

[@trevorworkman1160]

I wanted an in depth tutorial, but this is just way deeper than i couldve imagined. im sure theres a bot script that could figure it out for me

[@praynr]

Got both speedrun times today thanks for the info on general splits / times to try and hit.

[@sarphog]

I don't know why but the normal gaunt speed run was so fucking hard for me

[@oostende9381]

beast of a guide very well done man thanks for the effort

[@krabmane1304]

awesome guide as always. really well made

[@ArneyO7]

One of the most important things for me is hiding dead npcs in runelite so I'm not right clicking to pick items up while the death animations are playing

[@theolegoupil1176]

On regular gauntlet are we supossed to do 5:1 when we have a t3 and a t2 weapon or do we only do 5:1 when t3 and t1 ?

[@RafaelB1717]

Thank you so much for the guide, it's the only gauntlet speedrun guide out there and super well done. I have a question, how would not maxed stats affect the simulation? I'm wondering how much worse would my 89att, 96str and 85 def be, especially the 85 def since it's the only stat that affects bow + staff runs.

[@killerowire]

normal gauntlet felt impossible but then I got a 3:32 bossfight was only 1:38 my staff went absolute bonkers

[@ricky5369]

I just got a 4:33 regular, and my normal is down to 7:44 although I haven't done 5:1 yet and I'm getting 2 tier 3 weapons.

[@rafaelsampaio7]

awesome guide, thank you very much!

[@oostende9381]

Here I am back two weeks later, just finished the corrupted speedrun also. You mentioned the prep was more forgiving in corrupted however it gave me more issues, mostly due to me fucking up obviously, died several times on good runs with hunnleff below 50hp haha. Thanks for the great guide once again

[@J.B.7]

just got it ! thanks brother

[@parkerjohnson5270]

[@glazeds0n]

Best guides thanks bro

[@ThePerfectG]

this is amazing lol good shit dude

[@DanielLopez0224]

Thank you, you absolute legend.

[@TytanTrollMiniatures]

Im consistantly 20s slower than the required time.. feels like my runs are super fast, but cant seem to shave off that last 20s..

[@claireastral4429]

Very nice, tyvm. How mandatory is tick manip for resources needed for 4min on normal mode? Edit: true tile indicator is really helpful for tornadoes doesn't seem like you mentioned it unless I missed it.

[@Molgoatkirby]

It helps a good amount, though I believe they made some changes a few months ago that made some of the resources easier to gather without tick manip, can't remember which ones. It's certainly still very doable without tick manip though, just the odds will be a bit lower since instead of a sub 4:00 it'll feel more like a sub 3:55 or something.

[@Speedfiire]

la mejor guia! gracias, ahora a entrenar!! GL

[@justkidding57]

10:03 is accurate atk style really better than aggressive?

[@sidb8066]

yo man what plugin on runelite is the one which shows the icons of the resources in game? Trynna follow your method for speedrun! Cheers bro

[@ClarkTheOrangeCat]

How to I get access/create a simulator for boss kill times? I’m curious for the average time that would be spent attempting to get a sub 2 corrupted hun kill with T1 armor and 5-1 as well as sub 1 regular hun kill with no armor 5-1. Assuming no missed ticks and only redemption heals

[@jujment699]

you have to program it yourself lol. just letting you know writing a simulation, its not too hard for an experienced coder, but if you've never programmed anything it would be like years of learning trying to figure it out, not worth it.

[@1JeanPearl1]

I actually got double tier 3s on the 4 min normal gauntlet one too :)

[@tzarc.8386]

Hey I have a question, is 99 prayer a hard requirement?

[@pzodeosrs]

Yo Kirby, how viable are the times (i.e. what do the success rates look like) if you don't have raids prayers? I'm assuming you'd want to do T3 Hally for every run?

[@Tyler1Clips]

all of these success rates in this video (and all of the speedrun guides) are very made up. They're just random numbers thrown together without much of a basis aside from extremely rough average dps calculations. No statistician would ever throw these numbers up with their name under it. But for your question, you're probably looking at a 3-18% success rate :) (the success graphs are a meme btw don't take them seriously)

[@pzodeosrs]

@@Tyler1Clips Yeah I thought they looked off but as a rough guide I'm sure they have some level of value. Although inaccuracy is further accentuated by user skill level variance. Anyway I managed to get a sub-6 without CoX prayers and a 3-min normal :) Aiming for sub-5:30 without CoX prayers before I get them

[@Tyler1Clips]

@@pzodeosrs there's no skill level variance at all with this meme graph. It already assumes that you're only missing x amount of ticks, or no ticks missed at all.

[@ShaydPoE]

@@Tyler1Clips Damn someone sounds butthurt lol. He literally explains how he got the graph, he ran simulations of the event and that's where the data came from

[@John-yk4bp]

what's the gauntlet timer you have

[@bashar3229]

It's here, Pog

[@danvigneau]

Is it true to say that for regular gauntlet speed runs, if you aren't comfortable Woox walking, you shouldn't attempt a tier 3 Hally run because you'll loose too many ticks without Woox walking? Also, would you say that for tier 3 bow/staff and tier 2 second weapon, that a good way to practice surviving the fight (as a first step, not worrying about the actual time) without missing too many ticks would be to get 12 food and expect to survive? Seems to me like you lose a tick when you eat no matter what, so wouldn't 5 tick loss assume you only bring in 5 food? Thanks for a killer video! Makes me feel a lot better about constantly not surviving my speed run attempts on a less than maxed main haha.

[@Molgoatkirby]

If it's regular gauntlet speedruns, the fight is a bit less intense so it's easier to get by without woox walking, I'd recommend still sending the hally runs. Even for Corrupted I get runs where I don't really woox walk, but I find it fun so I tend to go for it even when I don't need to. so I'd still recommend sending it for corrupted, and try your best with the tips I give in the video, eating uses up 3 ticks so you can always eat up during tornadoes if needed to use the ticks efficiently while missing attacks. And if you just want to guarantee survival then yea 12 food is a good approach, you can bring more if you're worried you might take a lot of damage from the tornadoes and floor, otherwise it should be enough based on those graphs to have quite a high survival rate. And eating food loses 3 ticks, but my simulations consider the tick loss from eating to be a necessary part of the fight to survive, so those aren't included in the 5 tick loss assumption. The only thing that counts as tick loss is mistakes, like wasted ticks that aren't spent eating or fighting, and attacking without offensive prayers. Since my simulation fights perfectly, it just afks for 5 ticks at the start to simulate mistakes. And no problem! Glad you enjoyed the video lol.

[@danvigneau]

@@Molgoatkirby thanks for the in depth reply! Maybe when I get more comfortable with the fight I will try again with one pot and 6-7 food runs. Any idea how much worse rates might be with a less than maxed account? 99 HP 99str 98rng 96mag 87pray 93def 93att. Should I just hold off on attempts til max?

[@Molgoatkirby]

@@danvigneau No problem! If I had to guess, it shouldn't be too much worse. Doing some rough quick estimates in my head (so don't take them too precisely), I think it'd be less than 1 extra food you need to make up for the lower defence. DPS is going to be a few percent worse, not too bad. Max stats would probably make the difference between just barely beating the time, and missing it by like 5-10 seconds. Once again, these are just rough estimates in my head. I'd say if you're enjoying the grind or have a reason for getting it done now, go for it it should be fine, otherwise there's no rush and can let stats go up to make it a bit easier.

[@danvigneau]

@@Molgoatkirby I think I'm missing ticks running from tornados but not eating or attacking, which I would probably do more of with hally, trying to get into position to hit during 1/3 hp phase while running from nados. Other easy places to mess up is not getting prayers back up quick enough after redemption or after prayer shut off. Usually get protection in time but not offensive prayer. Also easy to lose count for 5:1 when you're dealing with nados, floors, and whatever else. I'm not giving up forever but taking a break for now since I don't need it beat yet and I'm not maxed. Grind was burning me out haha

[@Molgoatkirby]

@@danvigneau Yea that's fair, gauntlet is both some of the most fun content in the game and the most frustrating at the same time lol, a break can be nice, especially when being maxed will help out.

[@Mac-jr2rt]

I feel like skill wise, it's more like reg 6/10 and corrupted 10/10 for me 😅

[@MrFrazzleDazzle]

This is waaaay to sweaty for me. I just started normal gauntlet last night having never doing it before. I'm at 25 KC out of like 34 attempts and was just looking for methods to speed up prep times as I'm nowhere close to being able to attempt corrupted prep. The problem I have been encountering is trying to use some methods that have been shown in corrupted runs, but when I attempt those methods in normal gauntlet I definitely cut my time down, but never have enough shards to make a T2 weapon and T1 gear before demibosses. Or I get awful RNG and don't have enough shards to make vials, or I make vials and can't find water and end up walking. My current method is getting me Normal Gauntlet KC rather consistently, with 30 seconds to 2 minutes of prep time left... I'm gathering 7 of each resource, 2 herbs, weapon frame on my first run out while trying to find demibosses. I make a T2 Bow and 3 Vials. On my run out to find the demibosses I hit fishing spots and make my potions, killing mobs if I still need more shards. I teleport back and cook my food, drop it, then finish making 2 T3 Weapons and T2 armor. I know making T1 armor would be faster, but then I never end up with enough shards to do what I need to.

[@Tyler1Clips]

If you're needing to make any armor at all for normal gauntlet and/or taking 7 minutes for prep time, you should not be watching this video.... Your problem definitely does NOT sound like prep. It sounds like you're really bad at the boss itself if you're needing armor and more than ~5-7 food with 2 t3 weps.

[@ricky5369]

Yeah ain’t no way im ever doing this nor would i ever want to. This shit is insane. All it does is make me miss 2011 runescape when things were not like this

most speed running tasks are aids. i dont bother with them. not worth the head ache. the rest are fine.

[@Crypto4always]

man these speedrun tasks are fucking bullshit XD im stuck trying and failing these speedrun tasks and still not even close to getting them done. i feel like quitting the game for a few weeks lol

[@matthewmartin6873]

love your guides but this one really should be two separate videos. Throughout the video there is way to much on the screen all at once to try and condense the video.

[@Molgoatkirby]

Thanks, and it was tricky, I was trying to avoid having too much on the screen but this one a real tough one and I had to accept it in the end. Even if I separated them into 2 shorter videos instead of 1 longer video, there's still the same problem that there's so many little details to the prep strategy that it's going to be a lot of info that needs to be covered in a way that people can remember. If I don't condense it I worry I'll be talking too long about a single thing and people will struggle to remember it more, so I tried to really condense the info down and quickly express all the main points, even if it was a bit of an info dump. I could've written less while talking but I feel like having main points show up on the screen helps for remembering. It's tough though, some people will definitely have different preferences, and I'm expecting people of varied skill levels and gauntlet knowledge to be watching, so trying to make a video that satisfies everyone is tough. I always try to avoid info dumps like this but with the sheer amount of detail and variation there is in prep decision making, it was a real struggle, but I do try to improve with each guide I make and get better at avoiding info dumps, but this guide was by far the toughest I've made.

[@matthewmartin6873]

@@Molgoatkirby I can tell you really tired. And it is a great guide. But there are a few parts that I need to watch a few times to process everything going on. Got a 4:01 gauntlet before this guide. Time to see what I can do to be faster.
