FYI: You can use a pestle and mortar on any of the three weapon upgrade pieces for extra shards :D Get tier 2 armour and 2 perfected weapons with 1-1:30 minutes left on preparation timer every time! :O
-Spoiler for anyone watching this: this cannot be done consistently. The RNG of resource spawns and minibosses makes this inconsistent.- Nevermind, I stand corrected.
I've done ~500 out of my 850 kc like this :p The resources can be annoying but the mini bosses always spawn in the rooms I showed. A lot of people have had success with this guide
@@fluffeh8814 well yes, it's made mine more consistent and helped me as well. That being said, what miniboss spawns there is random. I overwhelmingly get the bears for example, so I need to dungeon crawl for an extra minute usually at least to find the dark beast and the dragon.
@@MyVehemence You know that if you kill two bears the second one will drop either the orb or the string right? And then you can use your pestle and mortar on the spike to get 80 shards
@@fluffeh8814 isn't it just 50% chance? I do usually avoid them, but the handful of times I killed a bear in a room next to a bear I seem to remember just getting shards.
This is hands down the best guide. It's not super long and convoluted for literally no reason. Took me 3 hours of attempts using other guides before I finally saw this one. No joke, got my first kc immediately after.
Dude, this guide is worth so much more than the few views it has. It's simple, easy to understand, not long to watch, and the method is amazing! Props to you man for this!
I, like everyone else, can attest to the incredible simplicity and ease of use that this guide offers. I have followed tons of guides on CG; none of them worked. After the first view, I got my first kc. Thank you for the awesome video! Great method. Once you have the mechanics down in the regular gauntlet, this makes CG a walk in the park.
Tip: You can grind the tier 3 weapon pieces down with pestle and mortar for 80 shards. So if you have to kill 3 demibosses to get the 2 perfected weapons you prefer, grind that extra piece down :D
Always was dead against t2 on a main but I recently made a iron with base 80s and the kills just aren’t consistent so using your guide helped me learn the t2 prep
Bro this is the best guide. Period. So so so much more consistent with this now, just had a kill and I only managed to gey 12 food, where as before I was dien with t1 and 24 food. Amazing, really really solid
This is the best guide I've come across. I have never been able to get a t2 prep in time until I saw this video. This has changed everything. thank you
This is great! I could usually barely get enough food each prep time and sometimes even fail the prep. I would fish immediately if i encountered it and cook and drop it on full inv, to then pick it up at the end. Getting only food on your last trip with an extra tele is amazing, no time wasted with dropping and picking up food :)
Thanks for the vid. Helped a lot. I was previously trying to do T1 prep and only managed to complete 1 CG out of like 15 attempts. Managed to get 4 kills out of my 6 next attempts with this method, works really well.
Thanks a ton for this. I managed to only get 1 kill in 25 attempts using the normal 2 t3 weapons and t1 armor strat. I used this tactic and got my second kill in just 3 attempts and both the failed attempts were really close. Also thanks for making this a 3min not a 15min video! edit: got the third clear right after
This is exactly what I was looking for. Something simple to tell me how much of what resources to get. No second guessing if I have enough shards anymore
Still priceless in 2024! Got my first ever CG kc after dying repeatedly coming up short on proper prep trying to do other methods. This immediately changed things for me and got my first kc right after! Thanks a ton.
Amazing guide thank you so much. I love the style of the video and how the information is displayed. I'm now able to more consistently complete the corrupted gauntlet.
Can confirm! Every other CG guide didn't help me, but this took me four runs in normal mode to get down and then I got CG on my first try even after I ran out of food and pots! Thanks a bunch!!!
3 years from this guide and is still best guide out there. I watched some long guides couldnt even do prep because they gave me so much info my friend sent me this got prep next run now trying to avoid damage to kill boss. Thanks for guide
Great guide. I got comfortable with the Hunllef fight but was consistently too slow with prep. Just sent a few more and it's so much more consistent :)
Reddit sent me here, not disappointed! I was never able to do T2 preps successfully before this. Now I just gotta get the mechanics of Hunleff down when he's low HP and it's all crazy 😂 got him to 289 just now! 🙂
I know this is 2 years old, but I wanted to add a possible 10sec to peoples time: if you have 4 fish pools in the starting circle rooms, use your tele crystal after killing the last demi boss.
I tried doing cg on my 85 str-range-mag 75 att-def ironman and it went pretty bad, after 35 tries i had 3 kills but just couldnt get the prep down which left me without t2 armour, without enough food, or with the hunleff in the center. After this guide i managed to do two full preps within the time and get two extra kc, so thanks a lot for this really helpfull guide, let the road to the bofa begin:p
Nice guide, I got confused about the quantity of ressources, but tried like 5 times, failed to get food in time, had problems jugglin the materials, but then I went back to t1 armour and got like 4 more kills, because preparing t1 is not such a rush anymore compared with t2...
MATE thanks to your vid and some practise it's clicked, The fight is majority controling your nerves during phase 3 then it is pretty simple and that just takes practise. I'm getting more kills than deaths now so I'm catching up to my death count (128) and I got the pet at 65 kc. I don't know if I should be mad or not haha, would rather gotten the enhanced weapon seed.
Hey, thanks for the guide. Only have 1 question, with the route for getting the 2 weapon upgrades do the demi bosses only spawn at the selected spots of the map which you showed? Sometimes I cant find the bosses in time and I walk all the way around. I dont follow your path yet.
They only spawn along the edge of the map but NOT in the corner rooms and the rooms right next to the corner rooms. So only the middle 3 rooms on the edge of each side. That's why I skip the corners
Same here like the other comments, was getting boss under 100hp over and over and just dying with t1 armor, practiced a few t2 armor runs on normal then went cg and got it first try with food left over. Have like base 85 stats / 95 strength.
Wow I didn't realise how much time I was killing just doing random shit. I followed your guide to the letter and it worked perfectly and I got my KC. For the most part I can get kills now which is nice, I just sometimes get a little unlucky on food or I screw up and get stacked by tornadoes but this guide was still awesome. Thanks so much.
Going to try this.. I've tried doing T1, but the prep time is the same as T2 coz I haven't perfected it yet, plus I still can't kill hunllef even with 24 fishes :(
What do we do if there are no NPC's in the first trip, or only 1/2 NPCs and a weapon frame is not dropped? I've run into this issue several times now and just end up leaving because I otherwise waste time looking for that first weapon frame.
Practice your min/maxing like moving to the next room as you're killing things/prayer flicking/prioritizing resources closest to the door you're going to open next/remembering where the closest fishing spots are/and all the little time saves. It's hard content that requires a lot of effort to remove some of that rng
Can someone help? I'm not very good, and even with this guide I'm struggling to find all resources in time. The guide says 3 of one resource on the first trip, but I feel the second trip then takes far too long and I run out of inventory space
If you drop the right amount of items in the first one you'll have exactly the right amount of inv space you need for your second trip. You can't loot any fish until your third trip though
How come you drop 3 resources after the first round, and not all that were brought back? Also wondering why you grab more than 7 of each when thats the max you need for the full t2 set. Is it just for more shards? Thank you for the video
I only gathered 7 of each resource in this video :o The reason I drop 3, is that that's all you need to drop to fit everything in your inv on your second venture out, excluding fish. It makes keeping track of your resources consistent from run to run. Rather than dropping 6 on one run and 3 on another. Avoids confusion for me personally
Same, I feel like max stats is needed for this. I just don't seem to be able to kill the demi bosses fast enough to get enough shards to craft everything.
I’ve completed the regular gauntlet over 100 times no problem, only have one win on the corrupt. I can’t ever get tier 2 armor, tier 3 weapons and enough food. Shit has me wanting to smash my laptop into pieces I hate it so fucking much.
@@gat1092 since he hasn’t responded I’m guessing his laptop is in pieces 😂. I just started learning cg myself and it’s definitely a frustrating experience
I've come to the conclusion that I need better stats for this shit...I can have full t2 armor, full inv of food not take any dmg from boss off prayer, not take any tornado or floor dmg and still only get him down to 100 hp before running out of food...
You can kill any 3 demi bosses and always get the two weapon pieces you want. If you already have a staff and hally piece, you're guaranteed to get the bowstring, no matter which boss you kill, for example.
The full set reduces damage from everything in the room except floor tiles :p You can survive a hit from all 4 tornadoes for example. You use like 50%+ less food and eat less often which means more dps :O
