With our very good set of {{Skill|Ranged}} upgrades, it is possible to work on completing {{MonsterIcon|Ice Hydra}} tasks which count as mythical tasks. In fact, {{MonsterIcon|Ice Hydra}} is the ''only'' mythical task we have access to. At the time of writing this guide, there is an issue where you can never roll the same {{Skill|Slayer}} task twice in a row, even if that is the only {{Skill|Slayer}} task you have available for that tier. There is a mod available in the Official Mod Manager which fixes this issue. If you choose to use the mod to fix the issue, then simply equip you pimped out {{Skill|Ranged}} gear and begin working towards 20 mythical tasks through {{MonsterIcon|Ice Hydra}} to obtain {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Mythical)}}. If you decide not to use the mod fix, then still don your drip and prepare to manually reroll tasks by selecting an easy task after each {{MonsterIcon|Ice Hydra}} task and then selecting another mythical task. | With our very good set of {{Skill|Ranged}} upgrades, it is possible to work on completing {{MonsterIcon|Ice Hydra}} tasks which count as mythical tasks.

It is '''strongly''' recommended to reroll lengthy tasks (above 200 or so) in order to expedite this process. Even with rerolling, this is expected to take about a week of continuous {{Skill|Slayer}}, and even more time to replenish the food wasted. | It is '''strongly''' recommended to reroll lengthy tasks (above 200 or so) in order to expedite this process.

The alternative to tackling {{MonsterIcon|Ice Hydra}} now would be to manual one completion of {{ZoneIcon|Lair of the Spider Queen}} in order to obtain access to {{ZoneIcon|Afflicted City}} to fight {{MonsterIcon|Plague Doctor|Plague Doctors}}. This monster drops {{ItemIcon|Area Control Potion III}} which can be used to combat the intense slowing aura of {{ZoneIcon|Forsaken Tundra}}. This will speed up the Mythical tasks by about 30-40%, but farming {{MonsterIcon|Plague Doctor}} does end up taking more time overall than the time saved on {{MonsterIcon|Ice Hydra}}. The advantage is that you will also accumulate a healthy stack of {{ItemIcon|Penetration Potion III}} in doing so, which will be helpful for future dungeons. | The alternative to tackling {{MonsterIcon|Ice Hydra}} now would be to manual one completion of {{ZoneIcon|Lair of the Spider Queen}} in order to obtain access to {{ZoneIcon|Afflicted City}} to fight {{MonsterIcon|Plague Doctor|Plague Doctors}}.
