BOLG Ranged Nex

Solo Nex

Introduction

When Nex spawns for the first time in a custom instance it will be praying Deflect Magic DeflectMage for the majority of the kill, this is why Range only kills are the meta for fast consistent kills. After every kill you will teleport out of the instance and re-enter in order to force Nex to always be praying Deflect Mage DeflectMage

Note: It is strongly advised to complete the Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest in order to get access to the Jas boost which gives a 5% damage boost in GWD1 (including Nex). This can be done via Fairy ring code D.K.Q.

Presets

Banking Preset

⬥ The most important thing is to have a Frozen key + Ancient Ceremonial set for use with your boss portal.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• You can speak to Ashuelot Reis in the Nex bank and pay a one time cost of the Frozen key + Ancient Ceremonial along with 10M GP to be able to access Nex bank without these items.

⬥ An Enhanced Luck Potion luckpotion works and can be used here.

⬥ A T70+ Defender is required for Ancient Emblem ancientemblem drops

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• This is used to make the T80 Defenders (ancientdefender / ancientlantern / ancientrepriser)

Useful tips

⬥ Make sure to use Jas boost jasboost

⬥ Keep last listed arrow equiped until a new arrow is specified

⬥ Stay in combat between kills to stall crackling, allowing it to proc in p1 for a more consistent phasing

⬥ Wait 1t after using grico on a minion before tagging Nex to allow ecb to hit

Advanced Video Example (~35 KPH)

This is a sample hour using the Bow of the Last Guardian bolg along with an Eldritch Crossbow ecb eofpink and its special attack. Kills following this rotation should average out at around ~1:15 (~35 KPH). You can also use this as a visual guide for movement during the kill.
