'''DISCLAIMER: THIS GUIDE NO LONGER WORKS, IT'S BEING UPDATED AT THE MOMENT PLEASE BE PATIENT'''
Due to the nerfs to [[Poison]] and {{Icon|Despair|type=curse}} in Patch 1.3, the requirements and length of the fight has gone up quite drastically, better methods are still being researched.
It's much harder than first impression gave, it's doable with 120 skill/combat stats, will look for a better way tomorrow (12:00 GMT june 12th)

===Astrology===
==Agility for all 3 phases==  
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 =====
For Melee, use {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}} and {{PrayerIcon|Valor}} or the highest level combat style prayers you have available.
 
For Ranged, use {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}} and {{PrayerIcon|Avidity}} or the highest level combat style prayers you have available.
 
For Magic, use {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}} and {{PrayerIcon|Divination}} or the highest level combat style prayers you have available.
 
===Potions===
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.

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.
 
This will require the following Skill Levels on top of the Phase 1 requirements:
* {{SkillReq|Attack|120}}
* {{SkillReq|Strength|120}}


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 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.
* Potion: {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}
* Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}} & {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}}


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.
The following Enhancements:
* Undead Enhancement (Superior)
* Magic Enhancement (Superior)
* Gods Enhancement (Superior)


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.

==Phase 3==
==Phase 3==
Here, you will fight {{MonsterIcon|The Herald}}. This phase uses {{Skill|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, {{Skill|Magic}}!

* {{PrayerIcon|Holy Aegis}} can be swapped instead of {{PrayerIcon|Divination}} for more safety


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'''.

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.


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'''.

Removed as it no longer works, will release new setup when found.
Other method MIGHT work, please check Combat Simulator before trying


=Ancient Relics=
=Ancient Relics=


Seeing as [[Ancient Relics]] is capped at 118, the first Method listed in this guide won't work. <br>
[[Ancient Relics]] guide is still being worked on. The Standard method should work, the requirement for [[Ancient Relics]] are however much lower if the right [[Relics]] are obtained. Guide will be updated asap.
The Low [[#Low_level_method|Low level method]] works just fine for [[Ancient Relics]].
