=Standard Guides=
==Pre-Ancient Build==
The guide provides a build that does not use any ancient armour and will require manual eating to survive. This build should be able to get you though the dungeon one time, but you will need to time your eating carefully, especially when you are stunned.
This build can achieve that with as low as {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|80}}, but if you are attempting this dungeon under levelled then it is recommended that you check the [[Combat Simulator]] to see if there are any improvements that can be made, especially if you are in . Improvements that give a higher DR, higher HP or higher auto-eat threshold will give you a better chance of survival. Improvements that give a stronger attack will reduce the time taken to complete the dungeon, but are secondary to DR improvements.
* {{SkillReq|Attack|80}} {{SkillReq|Strength|80}} {{SkillReq|Defence|80}}
* {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|80}}
* {{SkillReq|Prayer|80}}
* {{SkillReq|Slayer|75}}
* {{Icon|Auto Eat - Tier III|type=upgrade}}
* Use {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} and {{PrayerIcon|Chivalry}} (or better) for 3% DR and accuracy.
* Equip {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion III}} (or higher) for improved DR.

===Manual-Eating Build===
The guide assumes that you have completed {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} at least once, and have obtained the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}}. If not, then check out this {{Icon|Ancient Claw/Guide|type=item|Ancient Claw Guide}} for how to obtain this key item.


Before attempting {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}}, it is strongly recommended that your AutoEat threshold is higher than all of {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons|Malcs}} moves when you are not stunned. This build can achieve that with 900 HP, although it is advised to check it with the [[Combat Simulator]] to be sure.
==Ancient Build==


The boss in this dungeon is {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons}} (Malcs), and the strongest attack is the combination of Sealing (Stun) + Penetrating Claws.
This build is designed to make it easier to obtain the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Core|qty=10}} and allows you to complete the dungeon without manual eating. However, this build is not recommended for idling as it will use a lot of resources. This build increases DR so that auto-eat makes the dungeon survivable, but also has a reasonable attack level.
 
* {{SkillReq|Attack|90}}
* {{SkillReq|Strength|90}}
* {{SkillReq|Defence|90}}
* {{SkillReq|Prayer|90}}
* {{SkillReq|Slayer|75}}
* {{Icon|Hitpoints|type=skill|HP}} 940 '''OR''' {{Icon|Hitpoints|type=skill|HP}} 920 if {{PetIcon|Leonardo}} has been obtained.
 
 
* Use {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} and {{PrayerIcon|Chivalry}} for 3% DR and an increase in accuracy.
* Equip {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}} for 10% DR.

The {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} can be substituted for the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}} at a push, but due to the boss stun attack being very powerful, the faster you can attack after stun, the better your overall chances.
Use prayers to increase your accuracy, as without your hit chance against {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons|Malcs}} will be very low e.g. ~25% without prayers, compared to ~40% with. Using {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion}} (any level) will give you a significant advantage.
Equipping the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}} after the first clear as this will increase DR, and will make it easier to get the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw|qty=10}} needed for upgrading.
The {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} (DFS) which can be obtained from the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} is another good option, and can be paired with {{SpellIcon|Icicle Volley}} and {{ItemIcon|Witch}}. This combination is very effective against the {{MonsterIcon|Green Dragon}}. Similarly, with at least 20,000 Accuracy {{SpellIcon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} is another good option.


The {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield|DFS}} is one of the best defeneces against {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons|Malcs}}. However, for an extra increase in DR, consider equipping {{ItemIcon|Silver Diamond Ring}}. Doing so will reduce your Dungeon clear time, but may increase your chances of survival. With {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield|DFS}} equipped as well as 990 HP it should be sufficient to clear this dungeon with ease.
==Gear Options==
There are many options with this build:
* Equip the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}} after the first clear to further increase DR, and will make it easier to get the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Core|qty=10}} needed to get the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}}.
* Use {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} over the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}}. If you do not have the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} then check out the [[Ancient Claw/Guide|Ancient Claw Guide]].
* Use {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} to increase your dungeon clear time if you DR is sufficient.
* Use {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} over the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Shield}} for better defence.
* Once you can survive, use stronger prayers to increase your accuracy at the expense of DR.
* Use {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion}} (any level) to give an attack advantage, but only if you can survive the dungeon easily - you will lose up to 10% DR.

* '''Sealing + Penetrating Claws''': do not underestimate this combo. The [[Spam Eating]] kicks in with a delay after you push a keyboard button, so it is important that you start before the Penetrating Claws hit you.

===AFK Options===
==Idling Build==
For those with {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|90}} who have completed their {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}}, consumable resources can provide enough additional DR to push the build above into something that can survive purely by Auto-Eating, as long as none of them run out.
This build relies on high DR and a high HP and the top tier of {{Icon|Auto Eat|type=upgrade}} and uses melee as this gives a high amount of damage reduction (DR). If your consumables run out, then you will not survive, so be sure that you have enough in the bank before you begin idling.

{{ItemIcon|Prayer Scroll|Prayer Scrolls}} or {{ItemIcon|Alchemist's Bag|Alchemist's Bags}} can be used to reduce total prayer point costs or number of potions needed to survive 10 Infernal Stronghold runs, respectively.
If one has cleared {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}} a handful of times, {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Gloves}} and {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Boots}} can be used instead for an additional 2% DR each. Similarly, after your first clear of Infernal Stronghold, swapping to your newly acquired {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}} will net another 2% DR. Combined with +1% DR from {{Skill|Agility|Lake Swim}} that's enough to swap your helmet for a {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} for a reoccuring 10% chance to need one less run.
===Agility===
Bonuses from Agility Obstacles can reduce the amount of DR required considerably by increasing your Maximum Hitpoints.

For instance, assuming the same {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|90}} as before, after these HP bonuses, the DR required to AFK has dropped to only 54%. If you're lucky enough to have {{PetIcon|Finn, the Cat}}, hitting only {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|91}} for a total of 1060 HP would let you drop as far as 53%, eliminating the need for either DR potions, or Prayers and Witch Summoning Tablets, or when combined with the equipment improvements mentioned above, both. Or used with everything above to lower minimum HP to {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|76}}, though using {{Skill|Agility|Cliff Balance}} and prayers together is costly.


===After Water God Dungeon===
The {{ItemIcon|Prayer Scroll}} or {{ItemIcon|Alchemist's Bag}} can be used to reduce prayer costs and the number of potions needed to idle the Infernal Stronghold.
With access to magic armor with late-game DRs, you can now take on this dungeon with proper [[Combat Triangle]] advantage, meaning no need for expendable resources besides food and runes, no need for agility boosts, and even still enough DR to spare some for item doubling.
 
Alternative options are available if the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}} has been completed. The {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Gloves}} and {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Boots}} each give an additional 2% DR. The {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}} can be swapped for the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}} but this will lose 2% DR. In {{Skill|Agility}} the {{AgilityIcon|Lake Swim}} can be used to give an extra +1% DR.
 
Once you have sufficient DR to idle comfortable, you can also consider wearing the {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} for a 10% chance of doubling the items received, which can reduce the number of dungeons needed.
 
 
==Late-game idling==
After completing the {{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon}} you will have access to [[Ancient Magicks]] and late-game armour and boosts. The dungeon can be idled with magic much more quickly due to the [[Combat Triangle]] advantage. For example, with this build, there is no need for any consumable except food and runes, and no need for boosts from agility. The spare slots in this build are filled with item doubling boosts, but you can change these depending on your goal.

Instead of the {{ItemIcon|Ring of Wealth}}, a {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} can be used; it will give you an additional 100k-150K GP per clear, but only a 5% chance to double Infernal Core drops, making it worse for those farming only {{ItemIcon|Infernal Core|Infernal Cores}} but better for those also farming GP.
Spell: {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} <br>
For those who have already acquired their {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}}, thus exclusively interested in GP, please see [[Money_Making#Combat|the Combat section of the Money-Making Guide]].
Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Might}}  & {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Mastery}} if your accuracy is below 20,000. Otherwise don't use any.
 
There is flexibility on this build. For example, {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} can be used instead of {{ItemIcon|Ring of Wealth}} to get an additional {{GP|100000}}+ per clear, but this reduces chance of doubling {{ItemIcon|Infernal Core|Infernal Cores}} e.g. from 10% down to 5% chance.

Why Clear Infernal Stronghold?

There three main reasons for completing the Infernal Stronghold:

Standard Guides

Pre-Ancient Build

The guide provides a build that does not use any ancient armour and will require manual eating to survive. This build should be able to get you though the dungeon one time, but you will need to time your eating carefully, especially when you are stunned.

This build can achieve that with as low as Hitpoints (skill).svg Level 80, but if you are attempting this dungeon under levelled then it is recommended that you check the Combat Simulator to see if there are any improvements that can be made, especially if you are in . Improvements that give a higher DR, higher HP or higher auto-eat threshold will give you a better chance of survival. Improvements that give a stronger attack will reduce the time taken to complete the dungeon, but are secondary to DR improvements.

Ancient Build

This build is designed to make it easier to obtain the 10 Infernal Core and allows you to complete the dungeon without manual eating. However, this build is not recommended for idling as it will use a lot of resources. This build increases DR so that auto-eat makes the dungeon survivable, but also has a reasonable attack level.

Gear Options

There are many options with this build:

Malcs Special Moves

When eating, pay special attention to the following special moves from Malcs:

  • Sealing + Penetrating Claws: do not underestimate this combo. The Spam Eating kicks in with a delay after you push a keyboard button, so it is important that you start before the Penetrating Claws hit you. This special move has two instances of damage separated by a short gap, so a good idea to use Spam Eating. The damage from Penetrating Claws is calculated as [math]\displaystyle{ 640 \times (1-\text{DR}) \times 1.3 \times 2 }[/math].
  • Sealing + Tail Whip: Heal to full HP before this hits, and if you have time, look what the max damage of the Tail Whip is when you are stunned. You may find that you can delay manual eating depending on whether your HP allows. The damage from this move can be calculated as [math]\displaystyle{ 690 \times (1-\text{DR}) \times 1.3 }[/math].
  • Sealing + Usual Attack: Occurs when Malcs uses two Sealing attacks in row. The approach given in Tail Whip works well here.
  • Sealing + Inferno: Not as strong as the other attacks, and one that you can normally rely on Auto Eat to survive.

Idling Build

This build relies on high DR and a high HP and the top tier of Auto Eat and uses melee as this gives a high amount of damage reduction (DR). If your consumables run out, then you will not survive, so be sure that you have enough in the bank before you begin idling.

The Prayer Scroll or Alchemist's Bag can be used to reduce prayer costs and the number of potions needed to idle the Infernal Stronghold.

Alternative options are available if the Air God Dungeon has been completed. The Aeris God Gloves and Aeris God Boots each give an additional 2% DR. The Infernal Cape can be swapped for the Fire Cape but this will lose 2% DR. In Agility the Lake Swim can be used to give an extra +1% DR.

Once you have sufficient DR to idle comfortable, you can also consider wearing the Chapeau Noir for a 10% chance of doubling the items received, which can reduce the number of dungeons needed.


Late-game idling

After completing the Water God Dungeon you will have access to Ancient Magicks and late-game armour and boosts. The dungeon can be idled with magic much more quickly due to the Combat Triangle advantage. For example, with this build, there is no need for any consumable except food and runes, and no need for boosts from agility. The spare slots in this build are filled with item doubling boosts, but you can change these depending on your goal.

Spell: Slicing Winds
Prayers: Mystic Might & Mystic Mastery if your accuracy is below 20,000. Otherwise don't use any.

There is flexibility on this build. For example, Aorpheat's Signet Ring can be used instead of Ring of Wealth to get an additional 100,000GP+ per clear, but this reduces chance of doubling Infernal Cores e.g. from 10% down to 5% chance.

This is an opportune time to use the newly obtained Ancient Magick as it almost doubles the clear speed over Normal Spells, even without getting the benefit from the guaranteed hits from Slicing Winds at 20,000 Accuracy.
