Hello alora , I've decided to make this video specifically to show some players interested in starting Hard mode TOB , assuming that they already know the mechanics of regular tob as shown here https://www.alora.io...-guide-updated/ .

 

Hard mode features some differences to make the raid more challenging & that's what this video is here to demonstrate , this is not a detailed guide but more of a insight in how things are done.

 

I will note the differences from each room according to Omicrons update notes & from there you can see that being reflected in the video.

Hard Mode:

•  
• Mechanics:
  •  
  • As the name suggests, ToB Hard Mode is for only the most skilled raiders, and will present a challenge for even the most well prepared. Every room has different mechanics making the raid significantly more difficult to complete, ranging from higher health NPCs that deal heavier damage, to complete mechanic changes with blood spawns that cannot be killed and enemies that launch multiple attacks simultaneously.
  •  
  • Overall mechanics:
    •  
    • Enemy hitpoints across the board are 20% higher.
    •  
  •  
  • Maiden of Sugadinti:
    •  
    • Blood spawns will sometimes spawn even if you avoid the blood pool attack (50% chance).
    •  
    • Blood spawns cannot be attacked.
    •  
  •  
  • Pestilent Bloat:
    •  
    • Body parts will continually fall throughout the fight.
    •  
    • Bloat can change directions randomly, multiple times during walking phase.
    •  
  •  
  • Nylocas Stage:
    •  
    • Any incorrect style on smaller Nylocas will now reflect damage at you.
      •  
      • They will also prevent that player from doing any further damage to that particular vasilias.
      •  
    •  
    • Any incorrect style attack on Nylocas Vasilias will reflect 25% higher damage at you.
    •  
  •  
  • Sotetseg:
    •  
    • Instead of launching one red ball at a player, Sotetseg will launch two on hard mode.
    •  
    • Instead of one player going into the maze on hard mode, all except one of the players will be sent into the maze, and the steps will be divided amongst those players. They'll need to work together to put the pieces of the path in order.
    •  
  •  
  • Xarpus:
    •  
    • Upon entering the room, Xarpus will throw acid around all of the edges (excluding the entrance), limiting the amount of space players have to run around.
    •  
    • During the rotation phase, Xarpus will immediately face the location that he was last attacked from, meaning that players must move around after every hit to avoid having the hit reflected at them.
    •  
  •  
  • Verzik Vitur:
    •  
    • Verzik will be stronger than usual, including her Nylocas minions.
      •  
      • Nylocas explosion radius is doubled.
      •  
      • All attacks deal more damage.
      •  
      • Ranged attacks leave behind poison pools for 16 ticks. These deal 9-10 damage.
      •  
    •  
  •  
•  
• Rewards:
  •  
  • The rewards are worthwhile; there is a significantly increased chance of obtaining a rare item, and less of a chance of obtaining an Avernic hilt (leaving more loot roll space for better items).
  •  
  • Additionally, the following cosmetic items have been added to Hard mode:
    •  
    • Sanguine ornament kit
      •  
      • Reskin your Scythe of Vitur with the exclusive blood-red Sanguine colors
      •  
    •  
    • Holy ornament kit
      •  
      • Channel Saradomin with this ornament kit that can be used on any of the following items:
        •  
        • Ghrazi rapier, Sanguinesti staff, or the Scythe of Vitur
        •  
      •  
      • 
      •  
    •

Glad to see a guide for ToB and for Hardmode nonetheless. 
Cheers, Aero (:

Very nice guide, love how detailed you went and made sure to add a video to actually show it as well. A bit disappointed you’re not using one of your 500 Zamorak Spears though.
