Contents

Methods

  • The Manticore's attacks come out the instant it starts its animation, so that is when you switch prayer.1
  • Colosseum Manticores queue up three orb attacks, and as soon as the projectile starts moving toward you and the animation starts, you flick through Mage, Ranged, Melee protection prayers; the first two orbs can randomly swap but the approach is the same.2

Stats and numbers

  • The Manticore's attack speed is 10 ticks, so it starts an attack every 10 ticks.3
  • Manticores are the tankiest mob in the Colosseum, with more defence than Sol Heredit, so he focuses them and uses a Saradomin godsword spec.4

Tips

  • To get ready to pray against the Manticore when you see it pulling up while dealing with other enemies.5
  • Gnomonkey's solve for one Manticore stack was to come out praying mage and flick the Manticore, camping mage at other times.6
  • For the Manticore, Gnomonkey flicks through the three protection prayers as soon as the animation starts moving.7
  • When a Fremennik ranger is lined up with the Manticores' start tick, Gnomonkey watches the ranger's animation to start flicking and does not need to look at the Manticores.8
  • If two Manticores are charging up Mage, both will use Mage, so Gnomonkey tanks a ranger and prays against the Manticore because a Manticore is more dangerous than a ranger.9
