Ranking all Solo Bosses from EASIEST to HARDEST 

Zamorak sub 100% would be placed to the right of Telos (slightly easier) in the "Hard" tier. Zamorak 100% would be placed in "Very Hard" with Zuk HM Rasial would be placed in the Hard tier

It's been over 2 Years since I last did this video, and therefor it was time to update it!

The hardest thing I did in PvM was Minion/Darkness Araxxor at 300% enrage. I didn't realize how high the enrage got I was just fiending for that last leg piece and was in the zone, just always hitting defensives and never messing up a single mechanic. I will never do that again, the damage you take is absurd and if you miss a single mirrorback spawn you just instantly die

The final boss is fighting my crippling RS addiction

I like these lists. As a noobier bosser person I like to know what's ahead.

1 moss golem could solo all of Barrows... Let's just leave it at that.

This is my favorite RS channel. Great stuff my friend.

BEST THUMBNAIL EVER XD

In the group bosses, my own tier list would be a tad switched around (ie. Vorago a bit lower and RoTS as among the most advanced due to how punishing said venture can be); thank you for making the list and, merry bossing! (GL!)

I’ve been waiting for this for a bit to be honest with you!

Awesome video. And it seems like u made this for the average player. Witch I like. Ty for the video.

I think Mole does its job as a beginner, I remember being so hyped after killing it (I was scared of bossing in general) but I wouldn't revisit it because at my current stage it doesn't make sense. I can see how it can suck if you're pet hunting or whatever, though, but that's most bosses we're overleveled and overgeared for.

Just a tip, soulsplit when Verak doesn't attack you, and use resonance on his pillar mechanic. I use range with Pernix armour and it's easily no fooded.

Great guide sir!

Tried Solo ambi for 2 days this week. Was a fun fight but very punishing. Made it to P3 a good few times but would run out of food shortly after:( haha

Kalphite King is great as a solo boss, you just have to understand the mechanics like any other boss. Only bad thing about K.K is the drop table

I would say kerapac normal mode is easier than tarraket and astellarn time warp makes use of sunshine/death swiftness really easy so you can blow through the kill really fast even if you aren't that good.

ive done 210 solos ed2 and have gotten 9 barges 1 flurry and 2 furys and only like 4 group runs so solo runs all day great vid!

Try using ripper demon instead of yak for food while doing HM Zuk. Penance powder with ovl salves should cover almost all of your prayer needs, I usually bring 4 flasks and have 2 leftover. Zuk is quite doable nofood (I first did 100 NM kills for money before trying HM), the hard part is just getting there. Basically if you need food to consistently do the fight vs Zuk you'll have a hard time regardless, and using a ripper will make the fight and getting there much easier. Also, vamp aura is godsend for when you still don't have the FSOA (doing the challenging waves faster and thus much safer)

bless this video for vindication. some guys in my clan were telling me nex solo is easy and that anyone can do it and that im trash cause I couldnt clear it. Took about 4 hours of attempts but I got there. Definitely a hard boss

just goes to show the difference in perspective in difficulty in different people. Killed Raksha 1039 times. Still on the front of the struggle bus with a lot of bosses below it on the list.

commenting bc you made me feel better about my nex struggles

Raksha took me 3 months to kill with probably 10+ hours invested. I got an ambassador kill in 3 hours.

Interesting that you find Raksha harder than HM Kerapac. P4 alone makes Kerapac brutal. Only with Crypt I can manage without breaking a sweat now.

I grinded solo KK for a full day dying or tping out, but the next day I managed to do 50 solo kills for the perfect chittin, I feel good now thanks, because i felt like shit trying to solo it

I 1000% agree with where u put Zanik!!!

i find raksha easy compared to hm kerapac (atleast going for fairly consistant fast ish kills) raksha takes me on avg 3-3:30 to kill hm kerapac im still learning and have ben trying to get even a single fast ish kill but no success yet so far my fastest kill is 6min which is 2min+ too slow. edit: out of ambassador raksha and hm kerapac i would personal list them as hm kerapac > ambassador > raksha i find ambassador just slightly harder than raksha (i also do have max magic so that probably has alot to do with it). i also do wanna point out just for anybody reading speccing with fsoa on raksha allows you to deal so much damage you dont rlly have to deal with mechanics so that's just another thing.

the one I disagree with the most is NM Kerapac being harder than Rax. I agree with most of the list though

I'm surprised Raksha was that high. I am not a good pvmer and was able to get to p4 on only 4 or 5 attempts (didn't win) but I would have thought Raksha to be in the upper hard tier instead of very hard.

My thoughts: * I’d rank Verak Lith above Astellarn. * I’d put Rax in Challenging, but that’s mostly because I do minion path 90% of the time when I do it. Webs and Mirrorbacks also have a bad habit of instakilling me. (Kerapac NM doesn’t have that level of instakill potential if you aren’t paying attention.) * Nex deserves Challenging below AG 500% and Rax, IMO. If you’re bringing a BoB, you can actually just run out of her vision range when Nex starts siphon (without damaging her), which de-aggros her and lets you kill Blood Reavers at your leisure until you enter her line of sight again. At the very least I find her easier than Masuta. (Solo ROTS, on the other hand…I’ve had issues with that, even with chins+DBow EoF, mostly because of how maddeningly inconsistent the kills were.) * NM Zuk should be around the middle of the pack in Hard. I find it’s much easier to get NM deathless kills, even flawless ones, than 100% Telos kills. * I’m planning to try solo KK after going for deathless and/or a flawless Zuk run. I’ll see how I rate it. EDIT: Never got around to Solo Kalphite King, but HM Zuk was a challenge. I generally agree with his rating, though I suspect 500% Telos might be harder due to having a much smaller margin for error in some phases. Group: * Where is Hard Mode Rago?

Great video ! I agree with almost all your rankings !

Good list! Best boss pets next? ;)

I’m curious where you would place 250% hm arch-glacor. Given that there the minions mechanic changes whereas 100% is just a bit more damage and health.

The opinion disclaimer was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh

Also Protoxx probably still hears "JOIN ME IN TORMENT" in his nightmares.

Personally i find hardmode zuk to be way easier than the elite dungeons. Not done telos past my 1 reaper crew kill.

Before I watch the video, in my opinion these are my Top 5 hardest solo bosses (not counting enrage) 5. Telos 100% 4. Raksha 3. Kerapac HM 2. Zuk HM 1. Ambassador

For GW2 Hard mode, I would put Helwyr in Challenging / Hard. It's too intense with this boss.

I think it's important to differentiate types of doing vorago. Anything above a group of 3 is extremely easy, and a group of 3 is probably about as easy as you put it on your chart if you're the tl5. Duos are SIGNIFICANTLY harder, imo harder than solak. Super fun & rewarding though, the rewards are reminiscent of ed1 in terms of consistency, but with a chance of a MUCH bigger payout

I just started to consistently run hm zuk. it's definitely hard to learn, but once you know where to stand and memorize every wave, it's really not bad at all. and normal mode now is such a cinch I don't think I'll be returning to it. So I really don't think it's the hardest boss

Yea raksha learned me to actually swap prayers like a lightning. I mean i knew switching but i always forgot to know where each prayer was xD Now i do raksha without food on a 10 kc

I'm finally starting to get some kills on araxxor this week. I guess next up would be elite dungeon 2? Or Magister when I get 115 slayer

I would definitely place 300% araxxor higher than solo nex.

As someone who has been grinding out the melee rex matriarch, she can be cheesed by entangle so ranged and melee are brainless. magic still has some level of threat but isnt a huge issue. overall I think intermediate is fine, you could drop it to high easy tier and I dont think many people would complain.

This may be a pretty controversial take, but, amongst the well deserved praise and random critiques from some comments, I feel like i must voice this opinion. Now, don't get me wrong, these kind of lists are always insightful, but let me tell you, i feel the topic has been covered a fair amount of times already. Therefore, my suggestion for a future video would be, "Average Kill Times" and a "commons profitability" comparison. For instance: How long does it take to do a full NM Zuk Run vs a full ED1 Run; with average gear, skills and revo basics, then a comparison between the GP earned from the commons (excluding uniques on purpose). That way i can see everything coming together in a unique format that i still have yet to see from a Runetuber. Essentially a GP/Hr comparison with a focus on Kill Times and, therefore, difficulty to achieve said kill times.

About your list I will disagree about BSD and NM kerapac being harder than araxxor, araxxor can instant kill you in middle path and let alone how damaging is araxxi, and I strongly disagree with the 5 mechanics arch glacor being easier than gwd2 because has more HP and you need to deal with more mechanics than gwd2 despite being a relatively easy boss.

Thought the ambassador was a snowman with his head cut off by the tier lines lmao

I've been able to no food Veras lith, honestly it takes a while and if you mess up it can be tough but with practice I found it pretty easy

This also totally depend on combat style too

> Starts watching > *Sanctum Guardian in 2nd highest tier* > *Mouse drifts over the X to close window* I mean, Sanctum Guardian is 2nd easiest boss in ALL Elite Dungeons, only one thats easier is Leviathan

I've been trying to get better at pvm but still confused on what I need and what will make me better. Been playing for 3 months after 15 year break and your vids help a lot. Currently using ascensions, anima core, cinderbanes, fleeting boots and blood amulet. What bosses do you think I could possibly do?

Do you have a link to the tiermaker list you used? I'd love to make my own tierlist!

I can do Rax, 0% telos, and NM kerapac, nex, and learned those within like 5 kills but I can't even get Verak Lith to half solo because of how much damage he deals, I just don't do the DPS needed with a boss that deals so much and if I use defensives then I end up taking even longer and doing even less DPS. If I were to complete the fight it'd end up being about a 10-12 minute kill based on how long it takes to get him as far down as I can, and thats with a slayer task and dragon slayer perk

In my soloing career I'm moving on from the Easy to Intermediate tier... Nex is supposed to be my next target, but damn is she really that high up :[

List looks good, I'd say if I was to change anything, kbd would be lower than KQ. On my nooby ironmeme, I can't do much yet in terms of bossing, I can do Barrows, mole, and kbd just fine, but I can't kill KQ yet, I have tier 70 crystal bow which is fine for P1, but when P2 begins, I'm lacking in melee weapons (only tier 50 atm). But as for my main, I'm a garbage pvmer and can't kill araxxor, hardest thing I've killed solo on this list is Har-Akan

What about twin furies? I would say easy to beginner depending on gear and rotations

I'd honestly place Nex at advanced, it's hard when you start moving onto strats involving ecb but it's one of those when you've learned it sub 3 min no bob solos are pretty easy with t90 gear. ...Then again, I do have 2000+ solos.

Now that Necromancy is out could you make a updated version of this ?

Can you do an updated mage hearing guide? So much has changed

"Barrows is barely even a boss" Giant mole in the background: 👁💧👄💧👁

"I'm not a great PvM" Dude, I fucking died to the mole on practice mode. I'm not 99 in anything but still. Fuck.

giant mole needs to be in trash tier because of how annoying it is, I dont have the time to run around the entire freaking molehill ive got better things to do. burn the giant mole with fire.

I was very surprised to see Ambassador higher than Raksha. I personally can’t stand solo Raksha. I feel like Ambassador is more predictable

its pretty wild to think, with how hard zuk is, we're getting a 5th gwd boss in the future. If the jump is anything like the other 2 hidden bosses then idk if anyonese gonna be able to take it down lol

Har-akan doesn't deserve to be in the same tier as hard mode arch glacor, its a dps dummy where you switch targets, frost cannon requiring devotion, prayer switching, taking care of the minions efficiently all make it deserve going up a tier over akan. Honestly I think it would be better putting har-akan in easy, its easier than jad if you have dps, solely because the healers are annoying.

2nd boss in ed2 is super easy. #1 stand in melee range and soul split #2 ignore the egg thing and just debilitate when it's coming down. besides that it's just attack the pillars when they spawn and dodge the black dragons/fire tornado thing

Do you have a link to this tiermaker template?

I don't think the Barrows Brothers were ever truly bosses. They were never particularly difficult, even if they were tougher than regular mobs. I always thought of them as minibosses, which was why there were 6 (now 8) instead of only one, really tough one.

I hard disagree on your Mole point, it's the best beginner boss to learn mechanics in the game. Him and Helwyr feel like very important threshold bosses to learn.

I struggle soo much with Gregoravic on GWD2 still

I’ve not played RS since lockdown in 2020, been thinking of playing it again but in the last 2 years it looks like the game has changed so much. Feel so lost with the game now.

I'VE HAD IT WITH YOUR FUCKING CUP OF TEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good video btw!

me who thinks KK is one of the most fun bosses in game :c EDIT: I'd say 300% Rax is way way beyond Nex solo in difficulty, I can do Nex without eating food and just using 1-2 sips from brews and Excalibur, from time to time. Meanwhile Rax potential to die is super common if you don't pay attention or get unlucky.

i would sey 300 rax is harder than the ed1 bosses i agree with where you ended up puting rax at the end of the video, when it comes to barrows it depends if you kill linza or not, if you leave linza alone easly the easiest one, but if you do linza with low gear you need food so i would say close to the top of beginner. not at the lvl of jad ofc maybe easier than gwd1 but harder than the rest. i would argue that ele is easier than regular barrows, sure it got couple of anoying thing but they can easly be stopped with food that leaves a item when consumed. and you wont be teled into the middle of the abyssal creatures and they dont agro you at the correct places and your prayer last a lot longer there to.

How can you AFK/Easykill Taraket? I would love to know since this is my biggest challenge atm.

Sanctum guardian above BSD, Rax and Telos, even 0%? Im afraid i cant say i agree with that

P4 Araxxor is much more difficult than the entire ED2 bosses IMO.

avoid melee distance on verak lith devotion or divert falling bomb or just tank. Also soulsplit flick all ed2 bosses and use no food unless cba just eat

Assuming I create a new account, what would be the best order to kill all the bosses in the shortest possible time?

Me watching this, only having beaten four bosses, all of which were in the beginner tier.

The problem with astellarn and it’s nebula star which they never. Fixed. Is the stupidity that is the timers. One is based off when the fight starts the other when you entered in the dungeon. If you don’t 1 cycle you have to pray that it doesn’t just enter your star again

Hey protoxxx Nice vídeo man, in Brazil we drink a cup of coffee, can u say that in the next vídeo?

The hardest pvm thing I’ve done is Nex. I could solo Nex if it wasn’t for ice phase everything else I find to be manageable. I just can’t make the ice prison work.

hate how you jack Nobbel87's swag . . all in all , commentary style aside. . good vid!

I don't think I saw it on the list but where would you rank Nomad from the weekly?

@protoxxgaming where would you put the necro bosses

It seems like I am on the border between Intermediate and Advanced. I can kill Rax and NM Kera solo, but it takes a full inventory.

i think glacor > nex in difficulty, glacor can OS you, nex is just not using revo on p3

Weird I’m pretty bad at pvm but I find Verak Lith to be the most difficult in ed2. My difficulty ranking goes 1 Verak Lith 2 Asrellarn 3 Black Stone

could you list the boss's names in the comments or in the summary?

I'm noticing a trend that 90% of the game is a DPS test. All you need is to deal with the mechanics and that's it.

I probably found the right guide but as someone that doesn't pvm I went from struggling at HM Zuk to consistently getting to Zuk then beating the whole thing in 3 tries. I kinda like the whole waves thing in the previous iterations too. Last time tried it with a Ripper and got it. Ambassador on the other hand took me a lot of money to get a single kill. Easily the hardest for me. The fragments and the onslaught are the killers.

Ambassador, by far the hardest for me.

Still a good list til this day. Would put Nex in challenging instead of hard and move 100% glacor to advanced & 500% to hard

Wish you would show loot drops with each boss. Would be extremely helpful for the next one!! Thanks for the vid

I find Magister much harder than Kerapac NM. Incredibly tanky and hits like a truck on me. Has anyone had a gotcha moment with Magister that turned him from a hard boss to an easy boss?

Where would you put solo solak in?

I HAVE MY CUP OF TEA I HAVE MY CUP OF TEA I HAVE MY CUP OF TEA

I think Barrows could be an easy class if you have unlocked linza and akrisae.

Just realized legiones didnt make it on here
