Duke Sucellus is a boss topic that Gnomonkey covers in 3 videos between 2024-05-10 and 2026-05-22. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says Duke Sucellus is definitely a worse boss than the Whisperer.1
  • Gnomonkey says this will make Duke much more reasonable, possibly making Grandmaster time free, though Jagex did not mention changing Grandmaster time; people had asked for this with Leagues.2
  • Gnomonkey says the problem with Duke mining was not the roughly 10k XP per hour you could AFK for six hours, but that people were opening tons of instances at Duke, which hurt the servers.3

Events

  • He will probably do Duke Sucellus next in the Wiki Guides series, followed by the rest of the Desert Treasure 2 bosses.4
  • Players can prepare for three Duke Sucellus kills in a row by making up to six potions ahead of time, and Duke's HP is increased by 10% to compensate.5
  • Jagex cited Duke mining and shooting stars as examples where changes were necessary because the XP rates in the gameplay loops did not align with long-term skill progression.6
