Hello Everyone, I decided that I'm decent enough at raids, and a lot of people on server are asking for a cox guide (now that its been reworked). I've put one together for you guys. Some clips are a little scuffed, but essentially all of them show you how to complete the room. There is no audio besides the olm fight so there will be a text guide for the room, and then the video linked below it.  

 

 

 

Thanks to everyone from #Dynasty who's taught me how to raid.

 

GEAR:

 

First off, what should your inventory look like while scouting raids? If you're soloing (Which you should be since you're reading this guide) you will always want a axe and a pickaxe in your inventory. Here's what my usual inventory looks like when I'm starting a raid.

 

 

 

Capes: Melee:<. Range: Mage:<

Boots: Melee:<. Range:<. Mage:<

Melee Weapons:<<<(olm)<

Range Weapons:<(olm)<

Mage Weapons:<<

Defenders:<

Pickaxes:<<

Axes:<<

Spec Weapons:<  ( I don't think any other spec weapons should be brought)

Amulets: Melee:<. Range:<. Mage:No need to bring a mage necklace.

 

Rooms:

 

 

 

 

 

Crabs:

Extremely easy room. You will need to hit every crystal with a certain type of attack style depending on what color the crystal is.

Black Crystal = WHITE (no attack style)

Purple Crystal = GREEN (range)

Blue Crystal = RED (melee)

Yellow Crystal = BLUE (mage)

 

(not my video but its the video i learned from, I will update with my own video on alora once I get this room again)

 

 

Guardians:

For this room you will need a pickaxe. Pot up for melee, turn on piety attack it and run out of distance for it to attack you back. Repeat until both are dead. Very easy room.

 

Ice Demon:

 

Another very easy room. You will be using melee equipment, and praying mage. Chop the tree's and put the branches in the 4 braziers until the bar turns fully green. He will then become attackable. He will attack with a 3 rowice barrage which you can dodge very easy by moving out of it right before he attacks.

 

 

Muttadile:

 

Pretty hard room with safespot removed. Use range equipment and pray vs mage/range. While the baby muta is alive the baby will use a range attack and the big one will use a mage attack, if timed correctly you can pray vs both. After you kill the small one the big mother will come out and fight you, she uses mage/range attacks at random so just pray vs one and nuke her down. (they can also melee).

 

 

Mystics:

 

Semi-Hard room. Use range equipment, pray mage. Try to lure one away from the rest so you are only fighting 1 of them at a time, if you are eating damage from 2-3 of them you will not have a good time and likely die. (Salve ammy works great on them)

Tightrope:

Very easy room. Use range. Doesnt matter range/mage you kill first kill them one at a time. Pray mage for magers, range for rangers. Once all are dead cross the tightrope get the keystone and move on to the next room ( you can drop the keystone once picked up).

Vasa:

 

Pretty easy room. Use melee equipment. Attack her until she goes to a crystal, you must then kill the crystal or she will attack you for 33 damage and stun you. If you kill the crystal she will not do this attack. Pray range whenever shes not at a crystal.

Vespula:

 

Extremely easy room. Use range, pray redemption (make redemption a quick prayer) and attack the portal. When redemption pops (if it does) drink a restore turn it back on, rinse repeat until room is completed.

Tekton:

 

Pretty hard room depending on if he has bugged hp or not.  Pray melee, use melee. Try to drag him away from his forge when attackable so you can attack him on his way back to his forge.

Vanguards: 

 

Not a hard room, but kinda annoying. Pray melee the entire time. Run under the ranger when you walk in room, range the mager (usually the one highest in the room(see picture above thats the mage)). Once dead melee the range, after thats dead mage the melee. Take your overload and move on!

FINAL BOSS OLM:

 

In my opinion one of the easiest rooms in the entire raid after the rework. You will want to pray mage almost the entire time unless you are good at running the head, I'm pretty decent at running head but I still like to keep mage overhead on incase I mess up, I don't want to take too much damage.

 

Red portal: A crystal will fly down on top of you and deal big damage, either pray melee vs it or move 2 tiles away. Once you're good enough you can run head and run away from crystals at the same time.

 

1st phase: kill the mage hand completely with mage, then kill the melee hand completely.  While killing the melee hand if you have (i believe its a 4 tick weapon) you can hit the melee hand 2 times before having to run back to make the head turn the other way.

 

2nd phase: Start on melee hand using melee until it heals or clenchs. From then on mage down the other hand until its pretty low (1-2 max hits)(if venom try to kill both hands as equal as possible so venom doesnt kill mage hand). Once mage hand is pretty low you want to completely kill the melee hand. Once melee hand is dead quickly kill the mage hand and now the 3rd phase will start.

 

3rd phase: Olm will instantly shoot out 2 blue pools which if not stood in will restore health to him and drain some from you. He will also shoot them out periodically throughout the head phase. Dodge crystals and run head (I like to pray melee so crystals dont hurt so much and run head) Make sure to stand in pools or pray mage vs them as they hit pretty hard and heal olm quite a bit. 

 

4th Phase :COLLECT YOUR LOOT!!!!

Farming

You might need to do some farming inside the raid for supplies as they do not drop randomly anymore (some combat rooms still drop supplies).

 

There's 3 different herbs inside cox :  Golpar, Buchu, Noxifer

There is also 3 different secondaries: Stinkhorn Mushroom, Endarkened Juice,  Cicely

 

Now heres a guide on how to make each potion inside of cox!

 + =(Elder potion)

+=(kodai potion)

[lol Rip]

Fantastic! It’s about time someone wrote a comprehensive guide post rework. Love it! Now to read it

[Nergal]

Nice guide, it'll help alot of gamers!

[Miya]

Thanks for the guide!

[Amica]

Pretty solid guide. Missing a section on Vanguards, unless your recommendation within your guide is to skip these.

Think this will come in very handy for new players once bug fixes are done and CoX becomes active again.

[beans n cake]

This guide is great. Do drinking xerics drain stats with your on overload now or do they work he same as before?

They still drain your stats, always have. But the overload will restore your stats, rather than needing to drink a super restore.
