Pillarless mage tank Inferno is a challenge topic that Gnomonkey covers in 1 video on 2025-08-26. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Contents

Methods

  • Gnomonkey does a pillarless Inferno run in what he calls pristine best-in-slot gear, using Reynolds's mage tank method, with the Confliction gauntlets that let you mage while wearing full plate armour.1

Stats and numbers

  • In the mage tank Inferno method nibblers are guaranteed accurate so they remain a concern since they will just hit you.2

Tips

  • You do not need a stamina potion for Zuk anymore.3
  • In the mage tank Inferno method, freeze monsters, kill the bats and nibblers, and heal off the remaining monsters rather than alternating prayers; Gnomonkey says freeze is not normally usable this freely in Inferno.4
  • On mage-and-ranger waves Gnomonkey tries to get the mage and ranger close together so he can freeze the mage and kill the ranger from underneath it, and if all else fails kills the ranger.5
  • Gnomonkey freezes the melee before it digs; a frozen melee cannot dig to him, so he can keep casting until it dies.6
  • Cornering a mage traps it, and he freezes it only to make it aware it cannot reach him, then heals off the ranger and slowly pushes the mage until it dies.7
  • Gnomonkey discovers that a frozen mage becomes unfrozen when its respawn animation ends, which he says he never knew.8

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey credits Reynolds with inventing the mage tank Inferno method and says he hates it but that it works.9
  • Gnomonkey says a pillarless Inferno without alternating prayers was unthinkable even a week before this video, but he thinks the method makes it doable.2
  • Gnomonkey wonders how Jagex could patch the Confliction gauntlets mage-tank method, saying disabling their passive below a mage bonus threshold would be unfair to players, as he has 78 to 80 mage bonus in his setup.10
