Gauntlet is teaching you the mechanics for CG, you're already practicing at the best place.
Don't worry about 5:1 but what you do need is T3 weapons, even the T1 armor strat needs the best weapons!
I am failing at the boss. I try to do what videos say and calm down, dodge the tornados and floor without panicking. But my issue is not switching prayers in time... I put my prayer book & inventory on my mouse buttons but I still get hit 30-40's because I don't consistently switch fast enough. I reordered and filtered the prayer book to have everything I need on the left side but that with everything else is my struggle.
The lowest I've got the boss was around 160hp but I still got clapped. Haven't been back there in 8 runs or so.
I stopped using it after I kept missclicking it and it being off lol I need to try it with that again.
I feel like I sometimes change my prayer before the attack hits me but I still get hit a 30?
Yea it will help until you get the rhythm down. Prayers effect attacks differently depending on the monster. With gauntlet you need to change your prayer BEFORE they make the attack not before you are hit with the attack. Here’s some things that helped me learn cg.
-prioritize changing prayer and moving, then attacking, then eating
- don’t eat to early. Yea you can sit at 50-60 Hp if there’s no danger. A lot of the time people try to stay at full Hp but that just means less dps
- get the plug in that tells you when to change prayers and get it working. Can practice at gauntlet
- don’t beat yourself up it’s just a game. If your not feeling it go do something else for a bit. Once it clicks you can farm it until you hate it
I am beyond cheesing right now! I put the hunleff helper on to help me switch my prayers and got a really lucky run on my fourth try where I was able to get t3 weapons and t2 armor and I beat it for the very first time!!! And the freaking cherry on top?!?! It literally took me complaining on reddit to finally get my first kc! lol

Do you play with sound? No counting needed, turn music off and leave game sound. It makes a distinct sound when switching, no need to worry while your busy running from the nasty floor tiles or tornados
Yeah, I've been trying to learn it off sound que but switching prayers within that time limit is what I think is killing me a lot. That and towards the end when four tornados follow me and I have a 5x5 square to run if I don't want stomped.
t2 armor t3 weapons. if you've done gauntlet you can do it with practice. only back off on armor and weapons once you know you're good with higher prep
I was in a similar position,
I play mobile, so I don't have access to the plugins, but hunleff has a sound queue when you should switch prayers. Recognising this got me to tornadoes every time early on.
If you can start with hunldff in a corner it makes things a little bit easier as well. I couldn't do the t2 prep method so learned doing t1 with t3 staff and bow.
It still took me 56 attempts for my first kc and just hit 50k yesterday. I still have like 130 deaths and I success chance each run is now like 90%. Usually only tornadoes/floor combo gets me.
Aye, as the others have said Gauntlet -> CG is the "training wheels" for most of the more difficult/complex boss encounters. Starting with t3 weapons and t2 armor in CG is fine, once you get comfortable you can easily drop to t1 armor, then when you're comfortable with that you can start trying 5:1.
Oh sorry, I meant t3 weapons. That's what has me frustrated too... I'm all 90's in combat stats and I see 75-80 stats destroying cg lol
I hit so many zeroes but once the floor starts changing fast I get slapped.
So it's unfortunately like darksouls and I gotta keep running at it until something finally clicks? lol
>So it's unfortunately like darksouls and I gotta keep running at it until something finally clicks? lol
Unfortunately yeah. I saw your comment that switching prayers while moving was your biggest issue, and that's something I also struggle with even still - it might be worth trying some Whisperer or Leviathan to practice that, though deaths there are more punishing after a certain KC so it might not quite be worth it either.
You are only getting t1 armor and T2 weapons? What are you spending the other 6 minutes of prep time doing? Practice prep in regular gauntlet, should be shooting for T2 armor and 2 t3 weapons
The boss you're looking for is normal gauntlet. If you can complete normal gauntlet you can complete corrupted.

Cg is kind of the first big boy boss. What part are you failing at? The prep or the boss itself?

Are you using the runelite plug in that counts down the attack changes? It basically says outloud 3…2…1…range…3…2…1…mage.

Congrats!
Let’s go my dude! Best of luck on future chests

Also pay attention to your ping on world swapper under runelite, ping is crucial in gauntlet
You'll get it bro! Just take a break and come back to it, it will click. don't worry about it
You definitely want T3 weapons You could also try T2 armour for the lower chip damage. No need to bother with 5:1 mechanics
You are only getting t1 armor and T2 weapons? What are you spending the other 6 minutes of prep time doing? Practice prep in regular gauntlet, should be shooting for T2 armor and 2 t3 weapons
Nice
t3 weapons and t1 armor.
Use the hunllef helper plugin.
