Contents

Methods

  • Gnomonkey's downgrade melee setup includes a Nezi helmet, a Glory, an Artie cloak, a Fighter torso and Blessed chaps.1
  • The wiki downgrades Ruby bolts to Diamond bolts, so Gnomonkey uses Diamond bolts and an Archer's ring switch for ranged, and Blood bark with a regular Trident for magic.1
  • The setup was so confusing that Gnomonkey used inventory tags: pink items are both melee and mage and blue items are ranged and mage; he says this is the only case where inventory tags make sense, when your gear is not what it appears to be.2
  • Gnomonkey also allows himself a Keris even though the wiki does not mention it, because he does not think the 500 is possible without one; he brings one divine melee potion, one divine super combat and one divine ranging, with the blowpipe only for spec.3
  • His plan is Baba, Kephri, Zebak then Akkha, using both salts on Akkha because he needs the run energy for four-tick butterfly, and using divine ranging to get through Zebak; he says Akkha without butterfly is not possible because it uses too much restore.4
  • He runs Hardcore, Walk the path, Pathfinder and Deadly prayer, typical for a 500 but with no Overly Draining and no Keep Back, because chip damage adds up fast whenever Akkha swaps styles.5

Stats and numbers

  • For ranging he wears a SERP helmet, which Gnomonkey says is worse than no helmet at all because of a negative five ranged bonus, even though it means bringing a better melee helmet that is only used for the worse ranged bonus.1
  • Each room takes an eternity: Baba and Kephri together took about half an hour, drastically draining supplies and requiring over an hour of perfect flicking.6
  • Gnomonkey prices the downgrade setup at 39 mil, calling it fairly cheap but terrible, and says you could not choose worse value items if you tried.7

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says the biggest problem was the Wardens' P1, where most deaths happened, because he simply did not have enough DPS, even with a blowpipe, to pass that DPS check.6

Records

  • The footage was recorded several weeks before upload, when the monkey room was still difficult, and that he completed it over two separate streams totalling about eight hours.8
  • The downgrade-gear 500 took about 72 to 73 minutes, after six and a half hours of stream attempts, and gave no purple; Gnomonkey says he really expected the Shadow.9

Events

  • Gnomonkey had attempted this once on a prior stream and died in the Wardens' P1 due to not having enough restore; he found Divine super combat does not last long enough (20 minutes is not enough) and that leftover Divine ranging is wasted.10

Trivia

  • Gnomonkey describes this as by far the hardest Tombs of Amascut challenge he has completed, taking almost 8 hours of total attempts across two streams, with no fang, no Shadow and not even an Occult necklace.11
  • The wiki specifies a blowpipe spec as the worst downgrade for the range spec and a dragon dagger as the worst downgrade for the melee spec, so Gnomonkey allows himself to use those.3
