Pretty easy, especially after finding out that you could completely skip pet 3 from spawning entirely. More on that later. Only took 8.5 hours for this which is incredibly short.
Some key notes: the leather boots are actually pretty important since by default, Cormes uses Magic which causes the burn effect and it's also rough to have to flick to Magic prayer while dealing with Ranged airuts at the same time. But that is dependent on your gear, so if you have higher Magic defenses than Ranged defenses, Cormes will switch to Ranged.
Aside from that, a big breakthrough is that you can actually skip pet 3 if you just always run Beastmaster Durzag the entire, entire time. If you are able to run him forever and ever without letting him Melee you at all until you get him below 750k LP, you completely skip pet 3 and can just continue from there. Without that, I think this would still be possible but it would require more time and getting a Bow of the Last Guardian, since that is better DPS than 2h Magic camping without FSoA spec. So if I get all that, I'll probably go back and do it more legit but we'll see.
Also, I got much better at running Beastmaster Durzag and found the perfect way to ensure he never actually catches up to you. I guess spending time away really does help you see new solutions.
You may have noticed that I used Maniacal instead of the recently buffed Aegis aura. Because Berserker auras immediately put you back to 130 stats instead of simply providing a +21 boost like overloads by themselves do, this makes recovering stats after brewing a ton so much easier, so the lack of damage reduction is worth it here. And considering you don't have perfect accuracy against Tuz (if you get him) or Beastmaster Durzag, this ended up being the aura of choice.
That's really it, though. This kill was honestly pretty bad, but whatever. It was just complete brute-force from beginning to end and I didn't even summon my hellhound when I could have been able to. Oh well.
Hope you enjoy!
