(Added an AFK build that uses newer skill's items, and a post-god-dungeon Cores build. Also moved mention of Signet further down and linked the money-making guide.)

====Malcs's Combos====
To attempt {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}}, it is heavily advised to have the AutoEat threshold above all Malcs's moves when you're not stunned. The build above can do that with 900 HP, although it is advised to check it with the [[Combat Simulator]] if you're not sure. As additional info, with {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield|DFS}} and 990 total HP, you definitely can do it like that.

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.

Why clear Infernal Stronghold?

There are three main uses for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Infernal Stronghold

:

Manual-eating build

The following build is for the players who just finished the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Volcanic Cave

and the subsequent Ancient Claw grind.

Without manual eating, the main cause of death for the build below is Malcs's combo of Sealing (Stun) + Penetrating Claws.

Item Slot DR%
(G) Ancient Helmet Head 7%
(G) Ancient Platebody Body 7%
(G) Ancient Platelegs Leggings 7%
(G) Dragon Boots Boots 6%
(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces Hands 6%
Subtotal 33%
Fire Cape Cape 2%
Elite Amulet of Defence Neck 2%
Sandstorm Ring Ring 0%
Ancient Claw Main Weapon 0%
(G) Ancient Shield Off-hand 7%
Total 44%

It is heavily advised to use either the Ancient Claw or at the very least Sunset Rapier because you want to get out of stun quickly, and the faster your attack speed is, the faster you will do it.

You might want to use prayers to increase your accuracy. Without the prayers, your hit chance against Malcs will likely be around 25%. With them, it's around 40%.
If you have Diamond Luck potions, it might be the right occasion to use them.

Getting the Infernal Cape after the first clear should make it a bit easier to clear it for the next 9 times if you aim for the Infernal Claw.

Optionally, it is advised to grind out the DFS, preferably with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Icicle Volley

because it oneshots Green Dragons or with 20k-accuracy

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slicing Winds

otherwise. DFS can make your fight with Malcs more relaxed if you can't yet survive Malcs's Sealing+Penetrating Claws from full health.

You also can swap the Sandstorm Ring for the Silver Diamond Ring if you don't have enough DR to be comfortable, but it will drastically reduce your clear speed.

Malcs's Combos

To attempt

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Infernal Stronghold

, it is heavily advised to have the AutoEat threshold above all Malcs's moves when you're not stunned. The build above can do that with 900 HP, although it is advised to check it with the Combat Simulator if you're not sure. As additional info, with DFS and 990 total HP, you definitely can do it like that.

Otherwise, you would need to keep track of many moves, which will likely lead to death and lost gear that needs hundreds of hours to get again.

Check your thresholds in the first fight just in case.

You will need to manually eat when Malcs uses Sealing:

  • Sealing + Penetrating Claws: It will be your cause of death if you underestimate it. Be aware that the Spam Eating kicks in with a delay after you push a keyboard button, so press it before the Penetrating Claws hit you. Also, the two instances of damage are separated by less than half a second, so use Spam Eating to be on the safe side. Calculate the damage from Penetrating Claws by [math]\displaystyle{ 640 \times (1-\text{DR}) \times 1.3 \times 2 }[/math].
  • Sealing + Tail Whip: Heal to full HP. If you have time, look what the max damage of the Tail Whip is when you are stunned, so you can refrain from manual eating when your HP allows it. Or you can calculate it before the fight by [math]\displaystyle{ 690 \times (1-\text{DR}) \times 1.3 }[/math].
  • Sealing + Usual Attack: Happens when Malcs uses another Sealing after the first one. Use the same logic as with Tail Whip.
  • Sealing + Inferno: A "Get Out of Jail Free" card. You don't need to manually eat at all.

AFK Options

Prayer Scrolls or 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

, though using

and prayers together is costly.

After Water God Dungeon

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.

Item DR%
Chapeau Noir 0%
Glacia God Platebody 8%
Glacia God Platelegs 8%
Glacia God Boots 8%
Glacia God Gloves 8%
Skull Cape 3%
Elite Amulet of Defence 2%
Ring of Wealth 0%
Scaled Shield 8%
Fire Imbued Wand 0%
Total 45%

Instead of the Ring of Wealth, a 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 Infernal Cores but better for those also farming GP. For those who have already acquired their Infernal Claw, thus exclusively interested in GP, please see the Combat section of the Money-Making Guide
