Vorago: Solo NM Ranged
Introduction
This guide focuses primarily on rotations for achieving solo Grandmaster timers using Decimation-SGB strategies, and assumes a strong familiarity with Vorago's mechanics and phase timings. For more detailed information on mechanics and casual strategies, read the other Solo NM guide.
Presets and Relics
Preset Notes:
⬥ Zamorak Bow, Dark Bow, SGB, ECB, Decimation
⬥ ECB EoF is only used on TS/PB, may be replaced with food otherwise
⬥ Powerburst of vitality may be replaced with food for ceilings/GB/PB, or numbing roots to clear the first bleed on Vitalis P4 losslessly
⬥ Glaive is used for excal stalling without needing bolts, may be replaced with any darts or throwing axes
⬥ Dark bow has Invigorating 4 for autos
⬥ Crystal bow has Energising 4 for (optionally has Caroming 4 for with fewer switches)
Phase 1
Max hit dummy at War's Retreat:
→ → → → → → → → → stall → charge to full adren on crystal
Face:
release + → challenge + → → → + auto → → → + + d/a
Drop:
+ + drop + → + (swap to at 1.2s left) → at 0.6s left step back, lose 1t stall + + → release + + → TC + + click climb rock, lose 1t
Climb:
Equip + + during climb, on last platform + , on land + TC +
Get 15 stacks after on after killing rago
Phase 2
Drop
Maintaining stacks, apply and 15% with / while clearing bleeds. Use on reflect, as it ends → → + away → → → → → → improvise to below 30k HP while clearing bleeds.
Bring Him Down
Drop halfway through BHD, get 8+ stacks and 1-5 stacks, then spam click when BHD ends → → → → → ( instead if 2+ stacks) → lose 1t → TC + → → → + auto → → → →
Phase 3
Ceilings/Vitalis/Green Bomb
+ + drop → → + → equip + → + (swap to after 3 hits) → + → → → if not dead, target and improvise.
Teamsplit
+ + drop → → → equip + → → + → → + → → →
Scopulus
Drop + TC + + east → + auto → → equip + → + stall + east → TC + release + → TC + ( just before first hits) → + → + → →
Purple Bomb
Drop + TC + + east → + auto → equip + → + + → stall → TC + release + → target → → stall → click release + → + → → → →
The image below shows positioning for ceil/vit/GB/TS.
The image below shows positioning for scop/PB.
Phase 4
Apply , handle mechanics and get below 30k HP before last waterfall:
⬥ during reflect or to help tank
⬥ or + + for
⬥ For vitalis, get 8 before the orb, or and to the orb, then + → → → → and use numbing root to clear the first bleed
⬥ TS may be broken to save time by doing → 2 GCDs → close out of waterfall
1 auto before second reflect, drop → TC + → → → → (switch off if 3+ stacks) → → TC + equip
During last waterfall spam on → TC + → ( if fewer than 2 stacks) → → + auto → → → →
Assemble the during build, stand west of the so that you face east for the on P5 drop.
Phase 5
Unlike in previous phases, will only clear the effect of once 2t after spawn, and will remain under the effect of after the second one is thrown.
Drop + TC + + → + auto → equip + → → + stall + → TC + release + → + + take 2 steps back → → → + → → / + +
Example Kills
Note that these kills do not follow the exact rotations outlined in this guide, but show general positioning and mechanic management.
