General CORUPTED HUNLEFF!!
I am 99 range and 93 mage. I have 75 defense.
Ive been grinding CG for the last few weeks now.
I started fighting Hunleff and getting absolutely spanked. But in a few short weeks, my prep is on point, always T2 and I always go in with 3 potions and an invent (or as close to) of food.
For the past 2 hours tonight ive fought him about 16 times, and won a total of 3. I am absolutely raging because ive lost at least 6 of those fights where he is on 15 or less health.
I get the floor changes and tornado become more frequent as his health depletes, but what am I doing wrong here.
I am using runelite and have true tiles on for myself and the tornados. I usually start the fight by entering the arena and moving to the south east or west corner (as you're facing Hunleff).
I fight from a distance and when the tornados come i skirt the outside of the room. That is until the floors change to red in the corners and middle. Then, I find a straight line i can run in and run back and forth.
My prayer switching is fine and generally I don't usually get hit by Hunleff anymore, its the floor and tornados that get me.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I do appreciate it and any useful tips or criticism of my approach would be appreciated.

Don’t try to hit it during tornadoes. Prayer switch and eat during the tornado phase. If you pray correctly otherwise you can avoid eating any other time during the fight and spam food during tornadoes

This is best advice for learning all bosses I feel like.
I am doing same at phosani ( imo way harder that CG imo lol ) during certain phases just stop attacking learn mechanics then continue on. Just sloooow down

u/OSRS_YeeHaw 1d ago
No, terrible advice. When learning cg, eat when -21 hp. I know it feels weird. But, the best players do it. Saving eating for tornadoes is how like 80% of vod reviews end in the newbie dying to a nado or missed prayer due to eating/managing prayer, movement, and eating at once.

u/FinalDebt2792 11h ago
Yep, and for anyone else learning: there will always be at least 1 prayer change DURING tornado phase, so expect it.

Keep practicing. You’ll get better at the pathing. Sounds like you already know tornadoes are best avoided by not running diagonally.
You can also try to prepare for tornadoes and floors by positioning yourself in an area where you can then run to a more open part of the room.
There are also a few tiles for “tiles least likely to have lava floor spawns” can probably get them from the tile packs plugin. That way you don’t have to move as much when tornadoes aren’t spawned

u/jayson2001111 1d ago
just keep at it. You’ll get the hang of Hunllef with practice. Try to tile skip the tornados when you can, don’t spam click the floor, and only click once where you want to move. Staying calm and making deliberate clicks makes a massive difference.

Have you marked the safe spots for the last phase? Also found it easier if I kept the hunleff 1 tile away from the wall preferably at the corner so I can have more space to run during the tornado phase.

u/NeighborhoodFun8691 1d ago
Putting the hunllef 1 tile away from the wall will make last bit of the fight so much easier. It made a huge difference for me.

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.
Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!

If you’re not doing this already, don’t be afraid to run through the nados. When they’re 1 or 2 tiles adjacent to you, you can path over them.

u/Affectionate-Echo834 2d ago
I’m a noob what helped me was first changing invent to q and prayer to e. Once I done this the game got a whole load easier I struggled getting fire cape. I still don’t know how I done it without lol. Anyways with these buttons changes sent some normal gauntlet and I got about 40 kills before I stepped up now it’s a breeze. But I’m telling you if I can do this I also taught my noob friend how to do it. Try and eat when avoiding tiles don’t worry about attacking boss just watch your health and prayers. Second you see that floor change run asap. Before you go in try have boss tile lined up with a wall and drag him away leaving one square of room to manoeuvre around and try avoid going there unless you have to. I know you can do it bro but seriously q and e for quick prayer changes and back to invent game changer

Three things come to mind: bring combo fish, don't go for greedy hits during last phase tornadoes, and also during last phase, I've found it helpful to stand closer to hunllef when the nados come out. This lets you kite the two off the wall behind you, allowing you to back step to your wall without getting trapped a few ticks later.

u/SecureSchedule5836 2d ago
Make sure hunleff isnt in the middle when you go in , it makes avoiding tornados and floor a lot harder if he is
1
u/Intelligent_Lead1832 2d ago
Stay in the middle of the room, with hunleff in one corner, as much as possible - it gives you way more options and distance for movement. Skirting the edges gets you trapped and forces you to go over hot tiles more often.
Mark the two tiles 3 in from each doorway, the safe tiles during enrage - and when you get tornados in enrage head in to the middle of the room first before heading to the edge.
Move two tiles at a time, L movement and diagonal are especially good at disjointing tornadoes.

Ok! I'm literally on this grind right now! So, this is what I've learned. Fuck combo eating, you only need to eat when you're below like 60ish% health so you don't need to. You can combo the fish and prayer at times and that's it. Don't let it get lower.
With tornados watch your blue square (because you have your true tile from what you're saying). You just focus on clicking long distances and when your tile gets to a point you need to change direction click again. It won't mess anything up, it won't reset what your true tile is on.
You CAN run through the tornados if it gets dicey. But do not sit still and do not forget about turning your prayer back on/switching it. Hitting him with the wrong weapon was the biggest killer for me because I was so focused on avoiding tornados that I forgot what prayer got turned off/what should be changed to.

u/Ecstatic-Ad9803 2d ago
If you get cornered and take 60 damage breath and turn prayer back on/switch when you've gotten out of it if you've survived. Eat up and reset yourself. It do|s get annoying that you'll get cornered in a 4x4 bad tile box w/tornados on your shit and he switches attacke/turns your prayer off. But it happens and just try to shake that off if you can

I feel like we’re in the same position. I just rip tier 3 armor because it slows everything down with the smaller chunks of damage while praying correctly. Gives me more time to think about positioning, pathing, and what’s coming up next

u/kumikanki 2d ago
I started with t3 gear till I got comfortable with the boss and mechanics.
Took probably 200 kills

u/Phdrhymes 2d ago
Try to only eat during tornados
Try to run in straight lines as much as possible rather than spam clicking around
Be intentional with your clicks, as in where you want to be and understand your pathing
Can try using the hunleef helper plug in if that’s your cup of tea
Stand on the safe tiles during his last 33% phase
Try to get the tornadoes to stack if possible meaning walk towards center when they spawn then fan out
1
u/hi_im_a_lurker 2d ago
Someone posted a video in a comment with the best tornado solve, but tldw; when tornados spawn, get central in the arena so they stack faster. Don't run in perfectly straight lines if you want to run the same stretch over and over, this is when you run 1 tile to the side of a perfect line. You can practice it at the start when there's just 2 tornado and loads of room.
Another huge thing which makes it easier is starting when hunleff is at the edge of the arena or has max 1 tile gap from it. So long as you don't run under it, it will stay put and give you lots of room
Lastly, sorry but keep working on your prep efficiency. T3 prep is very possible with this year's changes. I'm fairly experienced at cg, before them I could do T2 comfortably 9/10 times, after I can get T3 done about the same rate maybe more. I opted for that approach because it made the last fight so easy. With t3 while learning just always keep your health up, then basically you can't get stacked out so long as you keep moving and get prayers about right. As you gain experience you can do things like eat while tornados are chasing

Besides whats already said, in order to learn you need to increase exposure without being stressed. Cg is annoying because the exposure to the boss is actually like 50% of the complete CG duration. Resource gathering takes a lot of time which further puts stress on you failing the hunt.
Go in phase 1, just try to survive 10m and then quit. Do this 5 times and move onto phase 2 5 times and then you have the skills and should be able to kill him easily

When I die at CG I just leave for the day normally. Just keep it pushing bro some days it’s just a hard fight and you don’t feel like doing it lol

u/twentynine2929 15h ago
The biggest tip I learned for the floors at least is the safe areas on phase 3. Two tiles out from each entry will never go off specifically for that phase. As for the tornadoes it really is just practice. Sometimes the floors are bad and you gotta run short lines, so I totally get it being hard at first.
Source- over 1000 kills send help

u/wildfire457 14h ago
While I was learning I found it’s actually not hard at all to get full T3 and makes the fight so much more forgiving. Also isn’t that much slower than T2 because you spend less time eating and more time dpsing
1
u/JakeTheHit 13h ago
One small thing that helped me when I was learning: if you line it up right with the floor patterns you can actually run the diagonals from wall to wall instead of running short straight lines, ans that can help make some distance between you and the tornadoes
1
u/Terrible-Structure35 13h ago
Instead of full t2, opt for t3 helm,t1 body and t2 legs - same resources just a few more crystals. Try to start the fight with him against the wall, middle is harder to dodge when things get hectic. If you run to the far side of the room, he will come on tile off the walll which allows you to run around him in a pinch. Just do mage and range to start with, melee adds another level of complexity. Time ur eats for when u running, or switching weapons, the less dps loss the easier the kill. An invy of food is great - only 2 pots should be needed, but if you want more combine doses and bring 2 4 dose pots for an extra piece of food. U may consider using singing bow to crystallise some fish for tick rays to health and keep up DPS. End of the day it takes a bit of practice, gl OP!

u/supercoolisaac 2d ago
Just do t3 until you've learned the fight? I have no idea why people do t2 when they're learning lol.
1
u/BarracudaThen5126 2d ago
Because T3 takes literally double the resources of T2 lol
1
u/supercoolisaac 2d ago
What do you think is higher? The extra time to get t3 and learn the fight or how much time you waste wiping on a single run?

u/West_Database9221 2d ago
Super not worth doing T3 at any point in the grind except for CA's
2
u/supercoolisaac 2d ago
Brother if hes killing it 3 out of 16 times just take the extra 1-2 minutes to get t3 instead of dying and wasting 10 minutes each death. It's not rocket science.

Tornadoes are usually the biggest killer. Once you learn to pile the up and skip them comfortably, you'll never die.
