=== Lizardman Shamans ===
=== Vanguards ===
Walk into the room enough so that they aggro you, and run back to the entrance to safespot them. Kill with ranged, or mage if using Double Cast.

=== Thieving Room ===


=== Olm ===
=== Vespula ===
Olm has three phases which consist of attacking his left hand with mage, and his right hand with melee. After this, there is a final phase against his head which you fight with ranged. You will want to make use your defence reducing spec weapon on the melee hand.


Olm switches his basic attacks between ranged and mage, so you'll have to switch prayer accordingly. Ranged attacks are the smaller green crystals and Mage attacks are the larger green blobs. There is no way to tell which he will use, but he is more likely to use the same attack style as his previous attack.
=== Tightrope ===


During phase transitions, there will be falling crystals that explode and deal some damage in a 1 tile radius around where they land. Keep moving to avoid these.
=== Guardians ===


'''Spheres''': Olm may randomly pick a sphere (red, green or purple) and send it at the player. If not blocked, you will take damage. If a protection prayer was used when the sphere was launched, it is disabled and the player's Prayer is reduced. To block the attack, pray accordingly before the sphere hits you. This will also be indicated in your chatbox.
=== Vasa Nistirio ===
  Red (sphere of aggression): Protect from Melee
  Green (sphere of accuracy and dexterity): Protect from Missiles
  Purple (sphere of magical power): Protect from Magic


'''Crystal Burst''': Olm may spawn a crystal underneath where you're currently standing which after a few seconds will erupt for 35 damage. This will be indicated below you and Olm will display a crystal sign on his melee hand. This often, but not always, follows up after his teleport swap.
=== Skeletal Mystics ===


'''Teleport Swap''': Periodically, Olm will designate pairs of players to be highlighted with a white glow beneath them. After a few seconds when this mechanic resolves, the targeted players switch places. The damage taken scales depending on how far away the portals are from each other. In a team situation, it's best for both players to agree where to stand to resolve this. Generally, this will be in front of the thumb on the melee hand. In a solo situation, the 2nd portal will be randomly placed in the arena.
=== Muttadiles ===


'''Lightning''': Olm will display a lightning sign on his melee hand and fire rows of lightning that moves fairly slowly across the arena. This never usually hits the row directly in front of olm. If you get hit by one, turn your prayers back on asap.
=== The Great Olm ===
 
The above attacks can happen throughout the fight. There are also phase specific attacks in addition to them.
 
'''Acid''': Olm will spray acid randomly across the room. This is fairly easy to avoid.
 
Olm will also occasionally target one player with an acid drip causing them to become poisoned and trail acid wherever they move. If you stand still, you will take a couple of damage every tick from the poison until the effect ends. The target is also indicated in your chatbox.  This can also hurt your allies so be careful with positioning if moving. The poison effect will remain on you throughout the fight but the damage is negligible especially if using Vamp aura.
 
'''Flame''': Olm will shoot out two lines of fire blocking off a column around the targeted player. If you're constantly moving, you should avoid this easily. If you're caught by it, pray mage otherwise it'll deal damage to you once it resolves after about 5 seconds.
 
'''Crystal''': Olm targets a player with a red aura and fires crystals after them. This will also be indicated in the chatbox. Just keep moving as each crystal that hits you can deal about 15 damage. You won't be able to attack with mage without risking being hit, however if you're during melee hand, you can run away, attack the hand, repeat without taking damage. Just be aware not to overlap other players as this can hurt them too.
 
'''Third Phase''':
This phase, while similar to the first two has some very important differences. Foremost, both hands must be killed within a certain amount of time of each other. His melee hand can occasionally indicate that it is healing and any damage done will restore health instead. You will want to bring the melee hand down quite low and attack the mage hand when the melee hand is healing. Once the melee hand is low but not dead, bring the mage hand down enough so you can finish it with one or two hits. Finish off the melee hand if it's not healing, then kill the mage hand afterwards.
If you kill the mage hand first, you risk the melee hand entering its healing phase for a few seconds, making it less likely you'll be able to kill the melee hand on time. The timer for this will be indicated on the health bar of the hand you killed first. If you fail to kill the other hand before this bar completes, the phase will reset.
 
'''Final Phase''':
During this phase, special attacks will continue so be on the lookout for those. Otherwise, switch to your ranged gear and finish off the head to end the raid.

This is a strategy guide for completing the Chambers of Xeric.

  • Full page rework incoming


Getting There

The easiest way to get to the Chambers of Xeric is by using the Portal Nexus at ::home.

Recommended Equipment

Table to be added

Auras and Pet Perks

Info to be added

Bosses and Puzzles

Tekton

Tekton is weak to Melee Crush attacks, immune to Ranged and highly resistant to Magic.

He has very high defence stats, so using a Dragon or Statius' Warhammer or the Elder Mail special attack is beneficial.

He will turn to face a player and will attack in that direction, so move to his sides and attack. Protect from Melee will mitigate some damage.

If not killed quickly, Tekon will retreat to his anvil and reforge his body, boosting his health and damage output.

Jewelled Crabs

Marked tiles example.

This room can be skipped with a Crab Skip Card.

You must use the crabs to reflect the white orb firing from the wall into the corresponding crystal. A Crab can be locked in place for 20-30 seconds by using the right click Smash option.

Attacking a Crab with combat styles will turn it into the corresponding colour, which will turn the white orb into that colour. The crab will revert back to its default colour after some time.

The orb reflects off crabs West, North, East and then South.

Ranged is used on the Purple crystal. Melee is used on the Blue crystal. Magic is used in the Yellow crystal. Nothing is used on the Black crystal.

An example with reference to the screenshot:

  • Hit a Crab with a ranged attack and position it on tile 1.
  • Smash it on tile 2. Have another crab and take it to position 3, hit it with melee.
  • Take this crab (or another if you smashed) to position 4 and smash it. You may have to re-smash the crab on tile 2.
  • Hit a Crab with Magic and position it on 6.
  • After the Blue crystal is hit, take it north to tile 5and smash it. You may have to re-smash your crabs on 2 and 4.

Ice Demon

Pray range and use range or mage to kill. Mage especially if using Double Cast.

Deposit your brews in the chest and chop the tree. Take the kindling and light the Brazier's. Repeat until his health bar depletes at which point he'll thaw and come out for the fight. Don't forget to take your brews back out.

Vanguards

Thieving Room

Vespula

Tightrope

Guardians

Vasa Nistirio

Skeletal Mystics

Muttadiles

The Great Olm

Equipment

Here are some examples of gear and inventory. These are not hard requirements and can be upgraded/downgraded as necessary. Naturally, only use a Slayer Helmet if on a reaper task.

  • Gear
  • Wear your best possible melee gear, as you will use this first at Tekton
  • Inventory
  • Super restores, Saradomin brews & at least 1 dose of Overload. Adjust quantity to your own comfort.
  • Mage and Ranged switches
  • Rune pouch with Air & Wrath runes if using Fire Surge with Tome of Fire
  • Statius Warhammer, Dragon Warhammer or Bandos Godsword
  • Dragon Hatchet to speed up Ice Demon
  • Vampyrism aura

Example Gear Setup:

The Setup
1st Example Setup
2nd Example Setup
Void Example Setup
  • Melee Gear

Inquisitor can be replaced with Torva or Bandos & Scythe/Dragon Hunter Lance/Rapier with Dragon Defender. A whip may also be used at minimum. Ferocious Gloves are better than Goliath, or Barrows Gloves to minimise switches.

  • Ranged Gear

If using any weapon other than the Bow of Faerdhinen, you will want Pernix > Armadyl > Royal Dragonhides. Swift gloves are fantastic but barrows are fine again to minimise your switches while learning. Weapon options: Twisted Bow > Faerdhinen/Decimation > Zaryte/Dragon Hunter Crossbow > Armadyl Crossbow > Dragon Crossbow. Ruby Dragon e bolts. A Blowpipe would also do well.

  • Mage Gear

Harmonised Staff with Tome + Fire Surge is incredible throughout the raid. This can be downgraded to a Trident of the Swamp or Seas. For gear, you will want to use Kitted Ancestral > Virtus > Ancestral/Subjugation and an Occult Necklace or Arcane Stream.
