New Tzhaar quest boss fight

Post by Dr Brad » Tue Dec 04, 2012 5:26 pm

One of the Jagex quest designers (Mod Stu) posted the following to RSOF about the boss fight. SPOILER.
It's meant to be a challenging fight, though I'm already seeing plenty of players getting through it sooner than I'd hoped. It's possible, trust me!

I won't reveal too much, as this is an opportunity to experiment with abilities and share your best tactics, but a few things to keep in mind:

* Bank everything you needed for the quest (rune pickaxe, commorb) to make room for gear and consumables.
* Use stuns and binds to prevent TokHaar-Hok from healing. Note that not all stun abilities share a cooldown. Take advantage of linked attacks.
* Use abilities and prayers that use his health and damage to your advantage. (Though note that he's immune to Reflection damage.)
* Don't get hit. Melee and range help with moving around the arena to avoid his punch.
* He only attacks with melee. Use that to your advantage.
* Take out the first rangers, and you'll only have to deal with melee. Take out more and weaker TokHaar spawn.
* Keep a careful eye on the grilles, and move if one heats up under you. Focusing all your attention on the action bar will be your downfall.
* Dreadnips work, though summoning familiars don't.
* The more TokHaar there are in the arena, the harder TokHaar-Hok will hit you. He'll spawn more as the fight continues.

good tips above. the most important is...
using a stun. always use it as soon as it's available, since he can heal if he's not stunned. I killed the first ranger and just tanked all the other monsters for the rest of the fight and focused only on him, healing and sipping prayer when needed, and watching out for the grates. I meleed with chaotic maul, and I wore torag's. I'm sure there's more useful gear, but I had it and it worked for me. I used dreadnips too.

protect from melee is a must.

And this...
I found that killing the ranger at the start of the fight helps as this will cause the other tohkaar that spawn to be champions and they only use melee (oh and prayer pots helped alot aswell)
