Been wanting to do a melee run, got tired of ranging and pb went from 2:12 to 1:09, not even maxed yet either. Phenomenal guide! keep up the good work! You earned a sub!
You can get him in cycle as soon as you go in if you just shift the path tiles towards the door diagonally 2 tiles. First you go in 4 tiles north (2ticks of running north) then attack Bandos once then move to the shifted start tile and run it like normal. As seen in "GeChallengeM"'s video on this, look him up "Solo Bandos GWD with the Bow of Faerdhinen (easy, no tickloss 6:0)" is the title of the video.
The fact that you need to resort to obtuse methods such as this, proves this whole area is shittily designed. And they left it as completely unchanged for 15 years. It's really sad.
Thank you so much for the guide! I was trying to do the cannon base red X method but I find this to be much easier! I’m pretty lucky I have the demon bow so when I do eventually make a mistake, the spec is a free way to not tank any more damage
