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 equilibrium safe push setup is slower but it will allow for a safer experience whilst climbing enrage and streaking, while the equilibrium fast 2449 farming setup may be used for fast kills while farming this encounter.

​

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

⬥ Equilibrium Necromancy Safe Push Preset necromancy

⬥ Equilibrium Necromancy Fast 2449 Farming Preset necromancy

​

⬥ 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.

Phase 4

⬥ For information on how to use sticky bombs stickybomb in phase 4 for minions effectively, please see #Melee Telos.

⬥ 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.

50% adren: omniguard spec → deathguard90 eofspec → touchofdeath → necrobasic + dive to font

Dummy at War's Retreat: soulsap → threadsoffate → touchofdeath → omniguard spec → soulsap → enter instance

​

conjurearmy → lifetransfer → commandghost → invokedeath → splitsoul → livingdeath + adrenrenewal

​

Phase 1

(wait 2t) → surge → commandskeleton → deathsparkorsoulreave → deathskulls → touchofdeath → fingerofdeath → volleyofsouls → deathsparkorsoulreave → soulsap

​

Notes:

⬥ If slow replace second deathsparkorsoulreave with necrobasic

⬥ If after deathskulls you have 5 residualsoul then volleyofsouls first to maximise zorgothsring procs.

​

Phase 2

deathskulls → soulsap → necrobasic → touchofdeath → soulsap → commandskeleton → deathguard90 eofspec → volleyofsouls → soulsap → dive to jump spot

​

Note: may phase on volleyofsouls leaving you far from jump spot if you always soulsap before dive. Use volleyofsouls + dive → soulsap if not phased, sometimes extra abilities are required depending on zorgothsring and scriptureofful procs.

​

Phase 3

deathskulls → bloat → soulsap → commandskeleton → touchofdeath + dive to redbeam → soulsap → volleyofsouls → necrobasic + surge

​

Note: if redbeam spawns close, run to beam and dive to jump spot.

​

Phase 4

Notes:

*⬥ Cancel bloodsiphon with volleyofsouls as immunity ends.

​

Phase 5

⬥ For more information on timing & moving efficiently throughout p5, read: #P5 Movement & Timing.

invokedeath → splitsoul → dive greenbeam → nat + powerburstofvitality → deathskulls → livingdeath → deathskulls → cade → fingerofdeath → fingerofdeath → (wait 2t) dive to redbeam → omniguard spec → deathguard90 eofspec

​

Note: if redgolem use anticlearheaded before first deathskulls
