Good shit fam, very nice guide !

You're welcome my man, was a very enjoyable experience raiding with you from your very first one to the ones we do nowadays!

but great guide non the less, great effort!

Thank you! It is indeed a rectangle -> my bad, I'm not the best player so i'm aware it's far from a perfect kill but I hope it eventually helps someone :) First guide so any tips will be taken into a count for if i make any future ones! Cheers!

Hello everyone, 

You may remember me from my post in the general section of the forum a few weeks back, asking for help on how to solo olm, I was relatively new to the game and struggled like many learners, i have since done 75+ raids where I did solo's, duo's & trio's to help others learn olm and get the enjoyment from raiding in chambers on alora.
I do truely believe this is one of the more fun and rewarding pieces on content to do, so I decided to make a short guide on an un-cut olm kill and make a written guide alongside it.
I by no means am going to claim I'm an amazing pvmer, (I'm not), I just want to show that the boss can easily be done with some practice and basic understanding of the mechanics!
Thanks in advance for reading / Watching.

Written Guide: 

Olm's Specials overview ( & how to avoid / deal with them ):
Red Portal underneath you -> Run in a square as shown in the video with protect from melee on, waiting for a boulder to start appearing in the sky before moving on the the next marked tile while remaining on the opposite side of the head.
Green Crystal underneath you -> Quickly move away atleast one tile while not walking into the head's vision.
Green Lightning crossing verticaly on multiple rows -> To be safe, find an empty row, go to it and continue to run the head until they passed the center, after which you continue the fight.
Burn with me -> Can not be avoided, deals medciore damage overtime just eat up so you don't die if you mess up the mechanics.

Boulders falling in between phases & on the head phase -> stand atleast 2 tiles away from the impact & turn on protect from melee to reduce damage taken on hit.
Pools appearing on head phase -> Stand on them or turn on protect from magic to reduce damage taken.


Before Entering - 

Overload + Prayer Enchance if available before clicking the well - Equip melee gear with BGS/DWH - Go Downstairs 

Strategy: ( This'll go over the fight, dodge / avoid specials when possible, to read up on those, see above )
First Phase - 
Pray protect from magic & piety when entering, spec the melee hand once, put on your mage gear & magic might / augury and start attacking the mage hand until the head looks one way rather than being centered, afterwards turn on protect from melee & continue to attack the mage hand while remaining on the marked tiles shown in the video OPPOSITE of where the head is looking.
Once the mage hand dies, put on your melee gear & piety while still praying protect from melee, kill the melee hand while you keep running the head (staying on the opposite side of where it's looking).

Second Phase -

Pray Protect from magic & piety when the phase begins, double spec the melee hand, put on your tentacle/dhl/rapier/scythe and attack the melee hand until the head looks one way rather than being centered, afterwards turn on protect from melee & continue attacking the melee until the hand cripples ( it's no longer attackable / indicated by olm pulling his fingers inwards. ) Switch to your magic gear, pray magic might or augury rather than piety and attack the mage hand until the melee hand uncripples,
after which you rince and repeat by switching into your melee gear, turning on piety and attacking the melee hand until it cripples again.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not kill one of the hands until both of them are at ~10% hp, after which you start by killing the melee hand followed by the mage hand to prevent it from resetting.

Third & Final Phase / Head Phase -

Pray protect from melee & eagle eye / rigour + equip your range gear & attack the head while you continue to run the head. Whenever olm summons two pools, if one of them is nearby stand on it til it dissapears or turn on protect from magic till they disspear to reduce damage taken, then switch back to protect from melee and continue to attack the head, repeating this process til it's dead.

What is your current rank? (Put N/A if currently unranked) - Recruit

When did you last apply for a rank? (Put N/A if this is your first app) - When I started playing again, roughly 10-15 days ago.

What rank are you applying for? - Just one rank higher than I am now.

What are your strengths? - Vocal, Helpful where possible, Positive, Active

What are your weaknesses? - Not necessarily an expert when it comes to alora or ironman, so occasionaly hard to give advice there.

In a short paragraph, please explain why you feel you deserve the rank you're applying for. - I feel like i've been a very positive member during my stay so far and I've been trying to help as many people learn new content once i felt comfortable with it myself!

Well your gear setup is much better than mine, so it shouldn't be too hard. It's mainly learning how to run head and not get hit by red portals. I recorded myself doing a welfare olm for you, the guide was going great until near the end haha but still managed to do it, and even snag a purple.

 

Also now you dont have to rely on drops for supplies, make your brews/restores before you head into olm. My inventory wasn't a good representation of you want for olm. Honestly you'd be good with 2-3 restores and rest brews. 

 

 

 

Good luck :)

Going to be watching it right now, cheers! For me the sang staff really is helping as i only did one run with it, but I can definitely notice the difference, I assume a lot of it is indeed still getting used to "properly" running the head, while I do feel like I am able to do it decently well, the red crystals tend to mess me up on the last phase as when i then try and run it off in a square, the boulders hit pretty hard and panic.
Regardless though, apprecaite it A LOT! Congrats on the purple and thanks once again!

Hey!
Hope this is the correct place to ask this question. 
I'm a relatively new alora player, you may however have seen me in game if you've been active during the past few days.

Now I feel pretty comfortable running ToB in 4 man or more parties, I was learning to solo Chambers.
I can get through the raid with relative ease, however once I get to olm i usualy end up dying once i run out of supplies.. which is generaly around the end of the second phase or the beginning of the  final phase.

I'm using the following guide as a reference:
https://www.alora.io...ning-olms-head/

Now obviously I do not yet have a twisted bow, lance or warhammer so it's mainly the melee hand that's taking forever to kill hence why I lose so much hp overtime.

Also heard about a recent update making cox a bit more challenging, now is it still possible to solo with a "budget" setup without the aforementioned items?

If you have any feedback or could record / screenshare an olm fight with similar gear to show what I should do differenly that'd be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
ghost2hunt
