Telos: Necromancy

Introduction

This guide assumes very strong understanding of #telos-basic and #Stuns & Mechanics Overview. The rotations listed below are ideally used at 1000%+ enrage. However, they will generally work at a lower enrage as well, and it is encouraged to learn these rotations as early as possible to build good habits and muscle memory. The equilibriumaura safe push setup is slower but it will allow for a safer experience whilst climbing enrage and streaking, while the equilibriumaura fast 2449 farming setup may be used for fast kills while farming this encounter.

Telos earnings
An average kill at 2449% enrage is worth coins 5,995,397 in uniques. This assumes an estimated orb price of coins 32,433,665. Grandmaster players can get up to 18.7 kph, earning coins 112,113,930/hr.

Notable Enrage Checkpoints and Changes (999+)

1000% P4 one rock will fall, P5 multiple rocks will fall, immortality no longer works P5, and Telos will freedom stuns and binds with a 16 tick cooldown

2000% "So you think you can guard?" Achievement, aka Silver Warden

2700% Tendrils damage required caps at 30,000

3300% The first prayer drain on P3 will smite you from full unless Telos touches the beam.

4000% Hard enrage cap; "True Warden" achievement, aka Gold Warden

Presets and Relics

Tier 100 weapons ( shardofgenesisessence ) are needed for the listed rotation to consistently work. Minor improvisation in p1 is needed otherwise. Use invokelordofbones to compensate on accuracy if owned.
General Notes
dealerlegs80 switch ( clearheaded & turtling4 )     •Will make most players lose mob . In this case, swap Death Ward with Shadows Grace. ⬥ zemouregalsnexus and malletops perk for extra cade duration. ⬥ weppoison, kwuarmsticks, spiritsticks, and lantasticks incense sticks used at bank.
Safe Preset
underworldgrimoire4 > Underworld Grimoire 3 > any INACTIVE scripture for stat bonus scriptureofjas / scriptureofwen / scriptureofful / scriptureofamascut ⬥ Do not swap out hellhoundpouch for ripperpouch , as it can ruin phasing & rotation consistency.

⬥ Equip your clearheaded 4 clearheaded and turtling turtling4 switch.

anticlearheaded used here requires taking the fonts slow, or it won't be off cooldown for font 2.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Alternatively, use freedom before volleyofsouls in font 1.

⬥ ( soulsap ) in font 1 is optional, and should only be needed if you're at 4/5 stacks due to phasing p2/3 faster.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• touchofdeath in font 1 is also optional, and may be skipped if needed. fingerofdeath will cost 20% adrenaline which can be improvised around.

⬥ Use adrenrenewal + sailfishsoup at the end of font 3 if needed, to overheal, and reach 100% adrenaline for p4 start.
