Contents

Methods

  • Gnomonkey uses claws to nuke the Serpent Mage for skips, and saves the claw special when he may need it to skip something.1
  • Gnomonkey's pre-pot includes a heart, and he sips a Menaphite remedy to break the divine effect so the heart ticks down; as long as he has over a plus-three boost, his three-way mage one-shots the Berserkers.2
  • Gnomonkey starts some waves in melee armour, casts at the Berserker, then flicks on the Bulwark while praying mage, making him very tanky for the one off-prayer hit he takes, and on one wave takes no damage.3

Stats and numbers

  • Dragon warhammer saves 7 seconds each time on the boss and Gnomonkey says it is better than double clawing the boss.1
  • The Bulwark gives Gnomonkey a lot of survivability in the early waves and in a couple of cases is better DPS than a claw spec.3
  • The 16:10 run had about 5:15 to wave 7 (Gnomonkey says 5:16 was the fastest by about 20 seconds), a 110-second wave 5, a wave 11 under two minutes (1:58, where it is usually around two and a half minutes), and a 14:12 entry to the boss.4
  • Gnomonkey lost roughly 10 seconds on the boss from missing a Dragon warhammer special, and says the boss, the only slow wave, could have been about 10 seconds faster with both hammers landing.5

Tips

  • Rich PvMers were also abusing the wave one to two cash-out tech at this time.1
  • Gnomonkey uses the Moonlight meat to help him on wave 6 early.1
  • The plugins Gnomonkey uses are Fortis Colosseum by LemonDuck, Better NPC Highlight with orb ID 12826, and a Line Marker plugin for his Sol tiles.1
  • The only change from his previous record setup is using a Bulwark instead of the Moonlight meat.2
  • Gnomonkey uses the Blowpipe only for low HP targets to kill them quickly and save ticks.6
  • You can regenerate run energy between waves; Gnomonkey took a pee break to get run energy back and called it tech.7

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey thinks a sub-16 Colosseum run is possible, but it would have to include all the reinforcement skips as well as extremely good RNG with invocations and spawns.1
  • Gnomonkey stresses the run is not what he would do on a first cape and nothing in the video reflects that; it is for pure speed and no safety.1
  • Gnomonkey tried the Bulwark but says its line of sight issues need to be flushed out a lot more before it beats just clawing targets.1
  • Gnomonkey says the Bulwark was slightly better than a claw on one wave because it kills the archer but he took damage for it, and on another says it is barely better than a claw.8
  • Gnomonkey says he does not think sub-15 is feasible for Colosseum without new knowledge or changes, and that around 15:30 is roughly the limit for how fast Colosseum can be done at this point.9
  • Gnomonkey says the run had incredible RNG for waves and damage and would be very difficult to beat; he thinks a sub-16 would require absurd luck, and that with a good boss and better play on one wave it could have been 15:50.5

Records

  • Gnomonkey obtained the Fortis Colosseum world record again with a time of 17:32, after the record had been passing through many hands over the previous week, and hopes to hold it for a while.1
  • His 5:37 time at the end of wave six is record pace to wave seven.10
  • Gnomonkey estimates the run will reach the boss at roughly 15:30, which he calls absolute record pace, and later the pace shows 15:12 at the boss.11
  • Gnomonkey got a 16:10 Fortis Colosseum world record, over a minute faster than his own previous record, which had been beaten by Ausah, and it happened in only the first few hours of the stream.2

Events

  • He took a deal with Kick and streams for a couple of hours on Twitch and YouTube before moving to Kick, which is why he has been streaming a lot of hours.12
