'''DISCLAIMER: THIS GUIDE NO LONGER WORKS, IT'S BEING UPDATED AT THE MOMENT PLEASE BE PATIENT'''
Due to justified nerfs to [[Poison]] and {{Icon|Despair|type=curse}} in Patch 1.3, the requirements and length of the fight has gone up.

=Dungeon Mechanics=
=Dungeon Mechanics=
Similar to {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} and {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}}, this Dungeon consists of 3 boss phases, each tailored to a specific Combat Style. There will be a paused screen as soon as you enter the dungeon, and before each phase of the boss, where the player can read the boss's abilities and damage values. Unlike those dungeons, there are significantly less mechanics that dynamically change the amount of damage the boss can do, outside of the returning [[Affliction]]. Due to this it is generally easier to determine the circumstances in which the player can survive without manually eating. The third phase has a mechanic that instantly kills the player (by dealing about a million damage) if they fall below 90% {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}}.

=Intimidation=
'''Intimidation''' <br>
Just like every other monster in the {{TotH|Throne of the Herald Expansion}}, {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}} has a passive effect that reduces the player's Damage Reduction. When in combat with {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}}, the player's '''base''' damage reduction is reduced by 44%, before any modifiers from the combat triangle.

=Deja-Vu=
'''Deja-Vu''' <br>
This ability is found on all three phases of the boss, and is reminiscent of the passive immunities of {{MonsterIcon|Bane}} and {{MonsterIcon|Ahrenia}}. When the boss uses this ability, he becomes immune to all damage from combat styles different than his own for a few turns. This ability is designed to encourage the player to swap equipment sets actively to be able to deal damage, however, the boss generally does too much damage to not take advantage of the [[Combat Triangle]] increase to Damage Reduction, and this mechanic can be ignored if you can deal enough damage in between Deja-Vu effects.

Every time the boss attacks, it gets faster and can deal more damage, with up to 50% reduced attack interval, and 50% increased Max Hit.

===Astrology===
This Phase should take around 3-4 minutes.
As many combat bonuses from {{Skill|Astrology}} constellations are recommended, but not required. In total, Astrology serves as a massive buff to combat and will make the fight easier. The main bonuses are:
* +5 Hidden Levels for {{Skill|Melee}}{{Skill|Ranged}}{{Skill|Magic}}
**{{Icon|Iridan|type=constellation}}, {{Icon|Terra|type=constellation}}, {{Icon|Syllia|type=constellation}}, and {{Icon|Arachi|type=constellation}}. The +5 hidden {{Skill|Defence}} levels in Tellus are redundant.
* 5% reduced Attack Interval and Enemy Damage Reduction decreased by 5%, from {{Icon|Ashtar|type=constellation}}

===Consumables===
*[[Food]]
**Food which heals a large amount of {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}} such as {{ItemIcon|Whale|Whales}} or better is recommended throughout. However, since the {{MonsterIcon|The Herald|final phase}} has an attack which ''will'' one-shot the player if they are below 90% health, a food which can heal to full health in 1 click is highly recommended. {{ItemIcon|Mystic Shark}} or similar.
*[[Equipment#Consumables|Consumable Slot]]
**The only item which benefits DPS that fits into this slot is the {{ItemIcon|Whetstone}}. However, they only affect {{Icon|Melee}}. {{ItemIcon|Blood Vial}} or {{ItemIcon|Portable Rations}} can be used outside of your melee set, but have very little effect.


===== Prayer =====
* Enhancements:
For Melee, use {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}} and {{PrayerIcon|Valor}} or the highest level combat style prayers you have available.
** {{ItemIcon|Undead Enhancement (Superior)}}
** {{ItemIcon|Dragon Enhancement (Superior)}}
** {{ItemIcon|Gods Enhancement (Superior)}}


For Ranged, use {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}} and {{PrayerIcon|Avidity}} or the highest level combat style prayers you have available.

=== Combat Simulator Exports ===

===Potions===
[[/Sims|Please follow the link and Expand each Phase as desired.]]
For all combat styles, use {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}.


===Summoning===
For all combat styles, use {{ItemIcon|Spectre}} and {{ItemIcon|Occultist}}. This synergy adds a ridiculous amount to the player's chance to hit, even with otherwise maxed stats, and helps a lot in actually landing hits.


==Phase 1==
==(near) Superior Max Method==
 
===Requirements===
 
Here, you will fight {{MonsterIcon|The Herald Phase 1}}. This phase uses {{Skill|Melee}}, so to make best use of the [[Combat Triangle]], {{Skill|Magic}} will be the best bet.

* {{SpellIcon|Slicing Maelstrom}} and {{SpellIcon|Surge II}}
This will require the following Skill Levels:
* {{SpellIcon|Despair}}
* {{SkillReq|Astrology|99}}
* {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}
* {{SkillReq|Defence|110}}
* {{SkillReq|Prayer|118}}
* {{SkillReq|Slayer|118}}
* {{SkillReq|Agility|120}}
* {{SkillReq|Herblore|90}} or {{SkillReq|Herblore|120}} - Will need atleast {{SkillReq|Herblore|90}} for {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}, {{AgilityIcon|Waterfall Crossing}} is not required but cuts clear time in half.
* {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|120}}
* {{SkillReq|Magic|120}}


This build has 1,200 {{Skill|Hitpoints}} and 78% Damage Reduction. It also relies on {{ItemIcon|Leviathan Shield}} being fully stacked (for a total of 85% DR) - this is guaranteed to happen well before the player is in any danger due to the length of time it takes for Affliction to fully stack.
It will require a bunch of [[Pets]] too, if almost no [[Pets]] are obtained it is still possible to [[Idle]] this boss if {{PetIcon|Leonardo}}, {{PetIcon|Erran}} and {{PetIcon|Finn}} are owned.
To shorten the fight time the clear time goes down from roughly 2 hours to 15 minutes if the following [[Pets]] are owned: {{PetIcon|Bouncing Bob}}, {{PetIcon|Peri}}, {{PetIcon|Otto}}, {{PetIcon|Ren}}, {{PetIcon|Cindar}}, {{PetIcon|Maxwell}},{{PetIcon|Azuzu}}, {{PetIcon|Harry}} and {{PetIcon|Webbie}}.


Switching the ring and passive slot for the more damage oriented options will likely kill the boss slightly faster, but this should not be necessary, and they will enable a very low chance that the player can die if they are hit with a Normal Attack when the boss is at full stacks of Growing Madness and the player is at full stacks of Affliction. If going this route, make sure to Manually Eat before a normal attack connects if its damage is higher than your auto-eat threshhold
===Agility for all 3 phases===


The {{ItemIcon|Palladium Runestone Ring}} MUST be equipped in the passive slot and NOT the ring slot, as it has a "hidden" -1% Damage Reduction stat that only applies in the ring slot.

Here, you will fight {{MonsterIcon|The Herald Phase 2}}. This phase uses {{Skill|Ranged}} so using {{Icon|Melee}} will be the best bet due to the [[Combat Triangle]] bonuses against Ranged.

* {{SpellIcon|Despair}} - Curse, must have {{ItemIcon|Voodoo Trinket}} equipped to activate.
The Phase can be fully Idled, it should take roughly 30 minutes ( 10 minutes if {{Skill|Astrology}} has been reached.).
* {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}
 
* {{ItemIcon|Whetstone}}
The {{ItemIcon|Palladium Onyx Ring}} should be equipped in the Passive Slot, this way you don't get the negative -1% DR when it's equipped in the Ring Slot.


With the {{ItemIcon|Voodoo Trinket}} equipped, the player is able to use curses without a {{Skill|Magic}} weapon. This is essential, as using the {{SpellIcon|Despair}} curse is the primary way to deal damage to the boss. This boss becomes '''SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DIFFICULT''' if this trinket and curse are not used.
This will require the following Skill Levels on top of the Phase 1 requirements:
* {{SkillReq|Attack|120}}
* {{SkillReq|Strength|120}}


This build has 1,200 {{Skill|Hitpoints}} and 75% Damage Reduction. It also relies on {{ItemIcon|Leviathan Shield}} being fully stacked (for a total of 81% DR) - this is guaranteed to happen well before the player is in any danger due to the length of time it takes for Affliction to fully stack.


Using the suggested equipment, this phase is relatively low risk as the Herald's maximum hit will often be below the player's {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} threshold. However, manually eating is advised if the Herald performs a normal attack while the player is affected by [[Sleep]], as this can be lethal. For any special attacks, rely on [[Auto Eat]] instead.
* Potion: {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}
* Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}} & {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}}


While the Herald can apply Affliction in this phase, the stacks take a very long time to accumulate, therefore this is not usually a concern. The easiest recommendation would be to start the fight with {{ItemIcon|Ring of Power}} equipped and then either switch to {{ItemIcon|Wasteful Ring}} once the player hits 8 stacks of Affliction or simply manually eat after this stage.
The following Enhancements:
* {{ItemIcon|Undead Enhancement (Superior)}}

This fight is different from the others. {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}} has a special unavoidable attack '''Sealed Fate''' which instantly kills the player if they are below 90% health when it activates. This means this phase cannot be idled, and the player must pay attention to the fight in order to heal themselves to full {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}} when the boss is using the attack and keep themselves alive for all other attacks. Remember that the boss will be attacking very quickly due to '''Reign over Time'''.

When Manual Eating this boss there are 2 choices of how to do this.
* You can apply Reaction Manual Eating, Eating only when needed, after {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}} hits you, you hit {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}} then you Eat before {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}} hits again. This gets nearly impossible to do effectively at highh stacks of "Reign over TIme"
* Just hold the eat button the entire fight.


{{MonsterIcon|The Herald}} does not apply stacks of [[Affliction]], which does make things easier.

To fight this boss with {{Skill|Ranged}} in a more-idle setup, use the following equipment. Once again, the {{ItemIcon|Voodoo Trinket}} is worn in order to use Curses without a {{Skill|Magic}} weapon. This is essential, as using the {{SpellIcon|Despair}} curse is the primary way to deal damage to the boss. This boss becomes '''SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DIFFICULT''' if this trinket and curse are not used.
The {{Synergy|Yak|Dragon}} will prevent [[Burn]] from doing any damage, saving you a lot of Manual Eating or risk of Death.


This build has 1,200 {{Skill|Hitpoints}} and 73% Damage Reduction. It also relies on {{ItemIcon|Leviathan Shield}} being fully stacked (for a total of 80% DR). The goal here is to be completely safe against all attacks other than '''Sealed Fate''', this will require at least 4 stacks of the {{ItemIcon|Leviathan Shield}} effect. The only strategy required here is to manually eat no matter what whenever the boss uses '''Sealed Fate'''.

==Cheese / Low level method==
The following Enhancements:
* {{ItemIcon|Undead Enhancement (Superior)}}
* {{ItemIcon|Magic Enhancement (Superior)}}
* {{ItemIcon|Gods Enhancement (Superior)}}


===How to kill===

}}


Hold the eat button during the entire fight for all 3 phases (Use the highest food you have available with around 1000-2000 stock). This makes it very cheesy and kinda bypasses any challenge this fight offers.
=Ancient Relics=
The entire 3 phase fight should take around 5-6 minutes with this method and is 100% safe as long as you don't let go of the eat button.


Make sure you have the {{Icon|Despair|type=curse}} curse active for all 3 phases. <br>
Due to the nature of [[Ancient Relics]], this mode is a lot more powerful than it's standard counterpart.  
You will need to clear {{ZoneIcon|Cursed Forest}} 100 times.


===Requirements===
The Standard Method [[#Standard_Guides|here]] works just fine for this mode, however it can be done with much less gear and Levels in [[Ancient Relics|Ancient Relics Mode]]
 
This method will require the following [[Relics]] numbers to be obtained:
 
* {{Skill|Attack}} - 1,2,3,4,5 - Master Relic
* {{Skill|Strength}} - 1,2,3,4,5 - Master Relic
* {{Skill|Defence}} - 1,2,3,4,5 - Master Relic
* {{Skill|Hitpoints}} - 2
* {{Skill|Agility}} - 3,5
* {{Skill|Magic}} - 5 (Relics 1,2,4 speed up the kill time quite a bit but aren't required)
* {{Skill|Astrology}} - 1,2,3,4,5 - Master Relic


These are all the level requirements for this method. Any skill that is not listed is not required, higher levels than listed are also not required but won't hurt.
Much like the previous Cheese Method, there are 2 ways of Eating, Reaction Manual Eating - Eating whenever Damage is taken, or just holding "Enter" on the Eat button (only possible on PC). You need to double click the word "Food" in-game, then press tab, this will allow you to hold "Enter" for the entire fight. Do notice that the popup for Harold at the final Kill of Phase 3 will not Show up this way.


This will require the following Skill Levels:

Due to justified nerfs to Poison and Despair in Patch 1.3, the requirements and length of the fight has gone up.


Rewards

Harold - This pet has a ludicrous amount of bonuses for every aspect of the game.

Dungeon Mechanics

Similar to Into the Mist and Impending Darkness Event, this Dungeon consists of 3 boss phases, each tailored to a specific Combat Style. There will be a paused screen as soon as you enter the dungeon, and before each phase of the boss, where the player can read the boss's abilities and damage values. Unlike those dungeons, there are significantly less mechanics that dynamically change the amount of damage the boss can do, outside of the returning Affliction. Due to this it is generally easier to determine the circumstances in which the player can survive without manually eating. The third phase has a mechanic that instantly kills the player (by dealing about a million damage) if they fall below 90% HP.

Intimidation
Just like every other monster in the TotH.svg, The Herald has a passive effect that reduces the player's Damage Reduction. When in combat with The Herald, the player's base damage reduction is reduced by 44%, before any modifiers from the combat triangle.

Deja-Vu
This ability is found on all three phases of the boss, and is reminiscent of the passive immunities of Bane and Ahrenia. When the boss uses this ability, he becomes immune to all damage from combat styles different than his own for a few turns. This ability is designed to encourage the player to swap equipment sets actively to be able to deal damage, however, the boss generally does too much damage to not take advantage of the Combat Triangle increase to Damage Reduction, and this mechanic can be ignored if you can deal enough damage in between Deja-Vu effects.

Immunities
Each phase of The Herald is immune to stuns and freeze effects as has a 50% chance to avoid Burn, Bleed, Slow and Frostburn.

Each boss also heals 4% of its max HP every 2 turns.

Growing Madness
Every time the boss attacks, it gets faster and can deal more damage, with up to 50% reduced attack interval, and 50% increased Max Hit.

Platebody Vorloran Devastator Platebody
Platelegs Vorloran Devastator Platelegs

Gloves Vorloran Devastator Gauntlets

Weapon Slicing Maelstrom Wand
Offhand Leviathan Shield
Passive Shield of Magic Power
Consumable Magic Hinder Scroll
Familiar Left Occultist SynergyIcon.png Spectre

Phase 2

Here, you will fight The Herald Phase 2. This phase uses Ranged so using Melee will be the best bet due to the Combat Triangle bonuses against Ranged.

The Phase can be fully Idled, it should take roughly 30 minutes ( 10 minutes if Astrology has been reached.).

The Palladium Onyx Ring should be equipped in the Passive Slot, this way you don't get the negative -1% DR when it's equipped in the Ring Slot.

This will require the following Skill Levels on top of the Phase 1 requirements:

  • Attack (skill).svg Level 120
  • Strength (skill).svg Level 120


The following Enhancements:

SlotItem
Helmet Vorloran Protector Helmet
Platebody Vorloran Protector Platebody
Platelegs Vorloran Protector Platelegs
Boots Vorloran Protector Boots
Gloves Vorloran Protector Gauntlets
Cape Infernal Cape
Amulet Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs
Ring Ring of Power
Weapon Agile Wings Rapier
Offhand Leviathan Shield
Passive Palladium Onyx Ring
Consumable Whetstone
Familiar Left Occultist SynergyIcon.png Spectre

Phase 3

Here, you will fight The Herald. This phase uses Magic, so to make best use of the combat triangle, Ranged would be ideal. However, since this fight is impossible to idle no matter what, the guide will default to a skill that does not have its damage reduced when manually eating, Magic!


This fight is different from the others. The Herald has a special unavoidable attack Sealed Fate which instantly kills the player if they are below 90% health when it activates. This means this phase cannot be idled, and the player must pay attention to the fight in order to heal themselves to full HP when the boss is using the attack and keep themselves alive for all other attacks. Remember that the boss will be attacking very quickly due to Reign over Time.

When Manual Eating this boss there are 2 choices of how to do this.

  • You can apply Reaction Manual Eating, Eating only when needed, after The Herald hits you, you hit The Herald then you Eat before The Herald hits again. This gets nearly impossible to do effectively at highh stacks of "Reign over TIme"
  • Just hold the eat button the entire fight.

The Herald does not apply stacks of Affliction, which does make things easier.

The Phase should last roughly 30 minutes, 5 minutes if Ashtar is fully maxed.

The Yak SynergyIcon.png Dragon will prevent Burn from doing any damage, saving you a lot of Manual Eating or risk of Death.
