Tombs of Amascut

Tombs of Amascut is a raid consisting of 5 encounters, 4 paths and the final fight. The difficulty can be scaled using the invocation system. The higher your raid level, the more chance you have at lucrative rewards.

Raid Encounters

The paths can be tackled in any order. After clearing the 2nd and 4th paths, a Helpful Spirit will appear in the lobby and offer you a choice of supplies that can be crucial to your success in the rest of the raid.

Path of Scabaras

Kephri is considered one of the easier bosses in the raid and is weakest to Stab attacks.

She has two shielded phases and a final phase. Once her shield has been taken down, she will summon some Scarabs and call Swarms to her which will regenerate her shield.

Focus on killing the large Scarabs during this, particularly the Arcane Scarab as it can deal high damage if left unattended.

During her phases, she will launch fireballs at the players which will explode when they land. These can be avoided simply by moving.

• Dung Strike is indicated by a swarm of flies around the player. This will knock you back to the wall and create a line of impassable terrain.

• Mass Incubation will be when Kephri creates eggs around the room. These can be ignored but will deal damage in a 3x3 area if they are left to explode.

Path of Het

Akkha is usually considered the hardest of the four mini bosses. He attacks with all three combat styles and will require all three to be defeated, unless using Veracs Memento.

Akkha begins the fight with melee, and will cycle between melee, ranged and mage. This is indicated by his overhead prayers.

• When Akkha is using melee, the player must use mage.
• When Akkha is using ranged, the player must use melee
• When Akkha is using mage, the player must use ranged.

The arena is divided into four quadrants with a different coloured icon near the center of each. This can modify his special attack damage depending on where you stand.

• Red (fire) will inflict a small, spreadable damage over time
• Black (shadow) will deal low but fast damage to the player and slightly drain stats.
• Yellow (Lightning) will disable your overhead prayers
• White (ice) will slow your attack speed by 1 tick for several seconds.

At 80%, 60%, 40% and 20% health Akkha will become immune to damage and summon a shadow in each quadrant. Focus on killing 1 shadow at a time, and lure Akkha into the quadrant with the dead shadow. Shadows that are not destroyed on time will cause an AOE attack on their quadrant. The progress of the AOE's charging is halted during the Memory Blast special.

• Detonate special is indicated by players turning white. After a time, players will Detonate outwards in a 3x3 plus (or cross if Feeling Special? Invocation is active) pattern. This can be avoided by spreading out appropriately or DDing (stacking together). This is not used in a solo fight.
• Memory Blast is indicated by Akkha disappearing. At the same time, the icons in the center of the arena will glow in a pattern. The pattern indicates the tile you should stand on and move to in order to avoid heavy damage. The order will always be perpendicular so you should never have to move diagonally to a safe quadrant.
• Trailing Orbs will have orbs follow behind the player when they move and will detonate if stood on or walked over. These should be avoided and won't spawn if the player doesn't move.

When Akkha's health is depleted he will regain 20% and enrage. He will take the place of his shadows around the room, and will teleport to another one after he's been hit by a few successful attacks. He also summons multiple orbs around the arena which travel in any one direction and cause damage if they touch the player.

Recommended Equipment

These are not hard requirements and have many options within the game to substitute what you don't have. Ie God Wars gear is fully interchangeable with Sunfreet Hybrid gear and will save you switches. Upgrade/Downgrade where necessary and consider any Pet Perks or Relics you plan to use.

Melee is primarily used for Ba-ba, Kephri, Akkha, and Warden's core, and most bosses in the raid are weakest to Stab. Hybrid sets from Sunfreet are comparible to God Wars armour and a Bandos Godsword is preferable for defence reduction but Elder Maul and Statius' Warhammer will also work. Due to the Warden's core taking max hits from melee, the dragon dagger is an excellent special weapon to use there.

Ranged is primarily used for Zebak, Akkha, and Wardens. The Twisted bow does well against the Wardens and is the strongest weapon at Zebak. The Toxic blowpipe does well on bosses with lower defence and the various minions, (especially with Masori armour), while the Bow of faerdhinen and Crossbows with ruby bolts can deal with higher HP and defence targets. You may also consider a Venator bow, or using Farsight Decimation for it's special attack or main weapon.

Relics, Auras and Pet Perks

All combat styles are useful within Tombs of Amascut, so which relic you decide to use will likely be dictated by the rest of your setup and Pet Perks.

Supreme Poison Purge will be useful during the paths of Scabaras and Apmeken.

Invocations and Difficulty Scaling

Mode		Raid Level
	Entry Mode	0–149
	Normal Mode	150–299
	Expert Mode	300–600

Tombs of Amascut's difficulty is customizable. A raid level of 0 is very accessible and can be done in very low gear requirements. This raid level can be altered by using the Invocation System.

For every 5 raid levels, NPC hitpoints, defence, accuracy, and damage are increased by 2%, with damage capping at 150%.

Turning on invocations increases the raid level by a certain amount and also adds a specific mechanical change to the raid itself.

While this makes the raid harder, it increases the quantity of standard loot and also increases your chance of rolling unique items.

Invocation		Details	Raid lvl modifier	Category
	Try Again	Players have ten attempts to complete a raid. An attempt is failed if the team wipes during a challenge, but if the team wipes just as the challenge is completed, it will not count as a fail. Only one invocation in the Attempts category can be active.	+5	Attempts
	Persistence	Players have five attempts to complete a raid.	+10	Attempts
	Softcore Run	Players have three attempts to complete a raid.	+15	Attempts
	Hardcore Run	Players have one attempt to complete a raid.	+25	Attempts
	Walk for It	Players have 40 minutes to complete the raid, including time spent between each Path. If unsuccessful, the raid level will decrease by 20. (The timer begins upon entering the first Path and ends when the Warden reaches 0 health in the final phase of the fight.) Only one invocation in the Time Limit category can be active.	+10	Time Limit
	Jog for It	Players have 35 minutes to complete the raid. If unsuccessful, the raid level will decrease by 30.	+15	Time Limit
	Run for It	Players have 30 minutes to complete the raid. If unsuccessful, the raid level will decrease by 40.	+20	Time Limit
	Sprint for It	Players have 25 minutes to complete the raid. If unsuccessful, the raid level will decrease by 50.	+25	Time Limit
	Need Some Help?	The quantity of items offered by the Helpful Spirit will be reduced to 66%, with a minimum of one supply of that type. Despite the name, the reduction may or may not occur - e.g it's still possible to get an unaffected Power option (2 salt + 1 adrenaline) but has a chance of being reduced (1 salt + adrenaline) Only one invocation in the Helpful Spirit category can be active.	+15	Helpful Spirit

	No Help Needed	The quantity of items offered by the helpful spirit will be reduced to 10%, with a minimum of one supply of that type.	+40	Helpful Spirit
	Walk the Path	Completing a path during the raid can cause other paths to level up. Four level ups are given per raid, although the path they are given to are random. Completing the first path randomly adds levels to two other paths; the second adds a level to one of the other two paths, and then the third path adds another level to the final path. The first path level will modify most enemy hitpoints and damage by +8%, with every additional level modifying these stats by +5%, up to six levels. Furthermore, every two path levels changes each path's boss mechanics, capping at four path levels: Akkha: Every two levels adds one additional iteration to his Memory Blast attack and increases damage from the white orbs in enrage phase. Ba-Ba: Her Rockfall attack will fall much quicker, and energy blasts from open sarcophagi will have a wider range of attack. The boulders that spawn also have their health increased. Kephri: Her auto-attacks will be faster. In addition, groups of three Scarab Swarms may spawn during the shield charging phase. Zebak: His auto-attacks will be faster, even more so during his enrage phase. In addition, every two levels will also tighten the Tidal Waves' gap by 1 tile.	+50	Paths

	Not Just a Head	Zebak will occasionally cast a form of Blood Blitz on all players, causing one of two effects: Blood Blitz will attack as normal, always hitting regardless of the player's defence bonuses for 8-11 damage, healing roughly ~66% of that amount.

It will take damage upon spawning but will heal if it makes contact with a player, dealing rapid but light damage.	+15	Zebak
