Tightrope (Chambers of Xeric) is a mechanic topic that Gnomonkey covers in 2 videos between 2024-11-08 and 2025-05-01. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Contents

Requirements

  • To have more than 22 health, that is at least 23 hitpoints, before the tightrope room, because the max hit of those enemies is 22.1

Methods

  • For the two-Phoenix-necklace rope skip, equip crystal and a Lance defender, cross with ranged prayer up (Gnomonkey uses Augury for defence), and equip a Phoenix necklace so it procs and nulls the incoming damage, then grab the crystal, put on another Phoenix necklace and cross back.1

Stats and numbers

  • The Phoenix necklace nulls all incoming damage after the first hit splat, so you take only a single hit splat each way.2

Tips

  • There is a way to skip the Tightrope room but it is difficult and switch-heavy, so while learning he recommends just killing them.3
  • Against the Deathly mage at Tightrope, flinch in because it attacks every four ticks while the bow is five ticks, making it attack slower.4
  • To try to brew every fifteen seconds on your overload timing so brewing costs no stat drain, and to swap into melee armour at Tightrope to take less damage.4
  • In a no-prep run killing the rope wastes a lot of brew, so skipping rope in a no-prep CM makes it a lot safer.5
  • You can also kill the rope, which is solid for points; bring brews for it and take more from the chest.6
  • The double Phoenix necklace skip will not work in a full Challenge Mode because the max hits are too high, which is why people use the Kirby skip there.7

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says the two-Phoenix-necklace rope skip is much easier than the Kirby skip because the timing is more lax.8
