↖ Getting There and Preparations

- Teleport Problems: Getting to Whisperer can be a pain, but if you have a teleport tablet from 3KC you'll get there in no time.

- Clue Scrolls Galore: Clear out those clue scrolls before going in as it drops all of them and focus on fighting for now.

- Gear Up: Don't forget your mithril arrows!

↖ Venator Bow Advantages

- Soul Strategy: Compared to blowpipe's limited soul kills, this bow will let you kill them all and give different effects as well.

- Damage Boost: With this mighty bow expect more boss damage and all effects from soul sets.

↖ Loots & Rewards

- First Unique Drop: We got an Awakener Orb – which is a nice future deposit for Death's Coffer. 

- Drop Rates: The orb drops at 1/34.5 rates. Keep grinding that perfect kill for 50% more loot.

- Prayer Pot Strategy: As you learn bring fewer prayer pots & more panic food, then flip that ratio when you're good for a theoretically zero damage boss.

↖ Combat Achievements & Personal Bests

- New PB: Cut our kill time down to 3 minutes 1 second – not great but better than before.

- Achievement Hunting: After recent updates there are fresh combat achievements to unlock. One of them being sub three minute kill time which we're aiming for.

↖ Maximizing DPS & Efficiency 

- L Movement: Dodging plus and X-shaped onslaughts can be nailed down by mastering the L-shaped movements during attacks.

- Running Patterns: Find your rhythm and stick to it to avoid damage during enrage phases.

- Supply Management: You'll need fewer supplies per kill as you go, it's just about finding the sweet spot balance.

↖ Reflections & Future Goals

- Enjoyment Over Perfection: After 50KC we took focus off perfect kills to make the boss more enjoyable.

- Combat Achievement Progress: We're getting there with only a few left to unlock. 

- The 200KC Milestone: It's been a journey but we still love this boss at 50KC.

↖ Closing Thoughts

- A Look Back: Older players definitely wouldn't believe if we told them about these boss battles back when they were coal mining!

- Collection Log Updates: We've also gotten some nice loot from Ingot drops along the way.

- Efficiency Tips: On average a kill cost us around 60 Trident charges – so keep that in mind for resource management.
