Duo Hard Mode Kerapac

Kerapac, the Bound: Duo

General Information

This guide assumes you are already familiar with the basic mechanics of Kerapac which can be seen here #kerapac-hm-basic.

It is recommended to have a Nodon Dragonkin slayer task slayer as the helmet boost does work. You may also use the Premier Artefact premierartefact to have a 10% chance to not decrease the slayer task count with each kill. Headhunter's thrill bracelets may be used as a switch in order to prolong slayer tasks. The Trophy-Taker's perk also does the same.

Both the Magic/Melee hybrid, and Range duo methods described in this channel are advanced, and cater to high end gear and skill levels.

Introduction: Duo Magic/Melee Hybrid

Zamorak Staff zamorakstaff can be used instead of Guthix Staff gstaff as you will not be having any hitchance issues during the fight and it lowers Kerapac's magic level and applies a 1-minute accuracy debuff making it less likely for him to hit you. It also does the same damage and has the same adrenaline cost along with a cheap cost to purchase.

Magic/Melee Hybrid Rotations

Preface

These rotations cater to a max mage and melee setup, requiring the use of soa spec and lengmh lengoh.

Overview

⬥ Use conservationofenergy relic and autocast incitefear throughout the whole kill.

⬥ This rotation uses Target Cycle. 1 tick after Kerapac's first message, magmatempesttargetvulnbomb sunshine → (tc) smokecloud gconc

Phase 1

sunshine → Target cycle smokecloud gconcdbreathbloodbarrage tsunamisoa specgconcTuskas / sonicwave + Walk in and out → wmsmoketendrilsarmadylbattlestaff eofspec until <100K HP → gconc

Skip Tuskas / sonicwave if adrenaline is > 65%.

Walking in and out is important so you can smoketendrils while not under, allowing you to instantly armadylbattlestaff eofspec instead of having to walk out.

Phase 2

(pre) magmatempesttargetdetobloodbarrage deto omniarmadylbattlestaff eofspecasphyx (4 hit) → wmgconcsonicwave → filler until phase ends

If trying to rift skip, do a 2 hit asphyx instead of 4 hit.

If wm is off cooldown (used early in phase 1 or phase 1 was long), use wm before asphyx.

Try to maintain high adrenaline before phase ends since you will zerk phase 3.

Phase 3

After kerapac slams his staff, use timewarp.

timewarpzerkgbargegfuryassaultdecidestroy (last tick of timewarp) → cane + walk under → assaultdeci → Mage switch → gconc If > 65K hp

Try to get gconc off to build incitefear stacks.

Phase 4

If incitefear stacks are not 5 or tsunami is on cooldown, do gconc or soa spec and fillers before tsunami.

Echo 2

gconc if there is not enough adrenaline to omni after smoketendrils.

Alternatively, if timewarp is on cooldown for long, sunshine / metagconcdbreath (skip if adren > 60%) → timewarp smoketendrilswmgconc → (tc) kerapac omni before timewarp ends.

Skip gconc if timewarp has ended or do asphyx (2 hit) instead if adren permits.

Introduction: Duo Ranged

Kerapac himself is 3x3 and is therefore susceptible to Seren Godbow sgb - however, clones in P4 are not susceptible, as they are 1x1.
