Contents

Requirements

  • You must be on the Arceuus spellbook (thralls) for Doom of Mokhaiotl because you need Demon bane spells to kill grubs, even though thralls generate more acid and can hurt you, and Death Charge is too important to leave out.1

Methods

  • Gnomonkey's budget Doom of Mokhaiotl setup uses a Scorching bow as main DPS, Void armour, Arania boots, a Chally for melee spec, a blowpipe for ranged specs and the car phase, and a Skull scepter and Dark light for Demon bane damage.2
  • Gnomonkey's suggested upgrade path for Doom delves is to buy a ZCB, then treads, sell both to afford a Twisted bow, then buy them back later; he says a ZCB can be a stand-in until the Twisted bow and dropped D-knives and blowpipe once you own one.3

Stats and numbers

  • The Scorching bow is about 14% worse than a Twisted bow at Doom of Mokhaiotl but is still a fine option and can get you through delve 8 easily.2
  • A Twisted bow costs about twenty times more than a Scorching bow, so it will be a long time before an ironman uses one for Doom delves, and treads will likely stay over 300m for quite a while.3

Tips

  • An Ava's assembler is better if you have it, Anguish is obvious, and Dragon arrows are very good, but Amethyst arrows are not terrible on an ironman: they cost only two max hits and arrows give no accuracy difference.1
  • Gnomonkey recommends cheap Demon bane weapons (a Skull scepter or Slayer staff plus a Dark light) because each synapse weapon brought raises the death cost by 100k, or 50k on an ironman, and there is no difference between Dark light with Skull scepter and Emberlight with a Purging staff.4
  • You can get a Dark light back if you own an Emberlight by bringing it to Surprise, dropping it on the ground and buying it from him.5
  • When casting a Demon bane spell for Doom of Mokhaiotl, Gnomonkey says to use the mid-level Demon bane spell rather than the highest, because it uses the same rune type but costs fewer runes, so brewing down does not lose your autocast.6
  • Weapon poison (poison errors) is free damage because you can poison Doom of Mokhaiotl, but it is expensive and hard to get on an ironman, so it is worth using only if you already have some.7
  • Teleports to Doom of Mokhaiotl are expensive but worth buying for a main; an ironman without them takes the bird to the bank and runs there.8

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says Void is clearly better than Masori for the Scorching bow at Doom of Mokhaiotl because it gives a tremendous number of max hits, though he notes there has been debate about Masori versus Void with the Twisted bow.9
  • Gnomonkey prefers Arania boots over Pegasian boots for budget Doom delves because they are cheaper and easier to get and give strength bonus that boosts Chally hits and melee punish bonus damage; the lost ranged accuracy matters little because much of the fight is 100% accurate. He says the treads are the best option once you have them.9
  • Gnomonkey says his inventory is very close to the best setup and only lacks the Twisted bow; ZCB and Chally are always good specs.10
