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.

Ranged

Preset Notes:

eofblacku zammybow Zamorak Bow, eofblack dbow Dark Bow, eofblue sgb SGB, eofgreen ecb ECB, eofyellowu decimation Decimation

eofgreen ecb ECB EoF is only used on TS/PB, may be replaced with supersara food otherwise

vitality Powerburst of vitality may be replaced with supersara food for ceilings/GB/PB, or numbingroot numbing roots to clear the first bleed on Vitalis P4 losslessly

glaivemh Glaive is used for excal stalling without needing bolts, may be replaced with any darts or throwing axes

dbow Dark bow has invig4 Invigorating 4 for autos

crystalbow Crystal bow has energising4 Energising 4 for piercingenergising (optionally has caroming4 Caroming 4 for gricocaroming with fewer switches)

Phase 1

Drop:

Climb:

Equip deathguard90 + soulboundlantern + ruination during accel climb, on last platform dive + invokedeath, on land ingen + TC + deathguard90 spec

Get 15 wenarrow stacks after on dummy after killing rago

Phase 2

Drop

Maintaining wenarrow stacks, apply invokedeath and 15% blackstonearrow with grico / piercing while clearing bleeds. Use devo on reflect, as it ends wenarrow snipegricocorruptshot + dive away → rapidsgb eofspecsnapbolg specgrico → improvise to below 30k HP while clearing bleeds.

Bring Him Down

Drop dummy halfway through BHD, get 8+ wenarrow stacks and 1-5 perfectequilibrium stacks, then spam click vorago when BHD ends fularrow sgbbolg specwenarrow gricodeathsporearrows piercingmdspiercing (corruptshot instead if 2+ deathsporearrowsstacks) → lose 1t necroauto → TC + wenarrow mdspiercingfreedomnat + deathsporearrows dbow auto → crystalbow piercingenergisinggricocaromingpiercingenergisingmds

Phase 4

Apply invokedeath, ‎ ‎handle mechanics and get vorago below 30k HP before last waterfall:

devo during reflect or to help tank gb

cade or reflect + debil + vitality for pb

⬥ For vitalis, get 8 necrosis before the orb, cade or reflect and dive to the orb, then vulnbomb + invokedeaththreadsoffatesoulsapdeathguard90 specvolleyofsouls and use numbingroot numbing root to clear the first bleed

⬥ TS may be broken to save time by doing rapid → 2 GCDs → close deathskulls out of waterfall

1 auto before second reflect, drop dummy → TC + deathsporearrows piercingwenarrow mdsdeathsporearrows piercingdevo → (switch off deathsporearrows if 3+ stacks) piercingmds → TC vorago + equip deathguard90

During last waterfall spam necroauto on vorago → TC + wenarrow mdspiercing (deathsporearrows if fewer than 2 stacks) → freedomnat + deathsporearrows dbow auto → crystalbow piercingenergisinggricocaromingpiercingenergisingmds

Assemble the maul during build, stand west of the dummy so that you face east for the surge on P5 drop.

Phase 5

Unlike in previous phases, vorago will only clear the effect of vulnbomb once 2t after spawn, and will remain under the effect of vulnbomb after the second one is thrown.

Drop dummy + TC + deathsporearrows incend + surgegdeathsswift + dbowauto → equip bolg + wenarrow gricopiercingingen + stall shadowtend + vulnbomb → TC + release shadowtend + sgb eofspecvulnbomb + bolg spec + take 2 steps back → snapzammybow eofspeczammybow eofspec + replenpotzammybow eofspeczammybow/grico + surge + maul
