Since its release in June 2017, the Inferno has been considered Old School RuneScape’s (OSRS) most difficult solo PvM encounter, and the journey to an Infernal Cape is one that is widely recognized by gamers who have never even touched the game.
Even amid last year’s Varlamore expansion and the release of the Fortis Colosseum, the Inferno remains arguably the top challenge; there’s really no way to definitively argue that one is “easier” than the other unless you start going piece by piece, factor by factor, to determine which is more difficult.
What we will argue against, however, are five common techniques and methods that are encouraged but are not completely necessary en route to getting your first Infernal Cape.
This isn’t necessarily what I’d consider an Inferno guide, and admittedly some of the strategies and terminology may seem a bit confusing for a starter. I would recommend consulting additional guides if you are confused, because there are plenty out there which lay out the basic groundwork.
These are simply five things that may seem intimidating or unachievable at first, but they are things you don’t actually need to do to achieve your first Infernal Cape.
By nature, I am extremely conservative (rather than aggressive) when it comes to any sort of a PvM challenge. It’s all about the strategy and the mechanics, rather than the brute force, and given how the Inferno is set up, that is exactly what these notes aim to achieve.
You, too, can do it, JalYt. So let’s have a look at five things NOT to do to get that Infernal Cape.
