For me I could never get the hang of the boss at later delves. What always seemed to kill me was the boulder+orb phase. Id like to share some tips for people looking to get good at farming delves 1-8 or to simply just get one wave 8 clear for the CA. For one, what ive learned is its perfectly fine to let grubs get to the boss. The damage and healing it does isnt really relevant until late delves anyways, so if you are learning, focus entirely on getting your movement down and 1 tick prayer flicking. Better to stay alive and let the boss heal a 15 as opposed to eating 50+ damage yourself. This tip has really helped me personally. For car phase on waves 5 plus, honestly I’ve found blow pipe to be the best spec weapon. It allows me to dps the first part of the fight at low health to speed it up and heal up during 100% accuracy. This is very useful at 6+ when your supplies are getting low. I know zaryte crossbow is technically better for speed, but i usually fuck up somewhere and need to heal up. For the orb+boulder attack where you need to attack two earth pillars, this one took me a long time to really get down confidently. What would catch me would be trying to attack the pillar, walk with the orb , while also dodging the debris on the ground when the boulder explodes, while also 1 tick prayer flicking. It was too much. A technique that consistently works for me is to simply attack the 1st pillar, wait for the boulder attack to come out, then click the farthest pillar in a straight line across the arena and RUN over there. I found that this allowed me to just not worry about having to move out of debris and focus entirely on prayer flicking the attack. Then when I make it to the pillar I attacked i find that im done prayer flicking and can focus entirely on ctrl walking with the orb. For wave 8, when a double boulder attack comes out just stop attacking the boss. Being alive is better than doing zero damage. Theres no real cheese or techniques to make this easier, other than that tip. Stop what you are doing, and focus entirely on your 6 prayer flicks. Im not gnomonkey or Kirby. Neither are you. This one is well known already but try and use elite void if you can. The death fees really do add up considering dooms drop table is absolute ass without a unique. Anyways doom went from my most hated to one of my favorite pieces of content after I dialed in and got better submitted by /u/The_Siphon
