I was able to get away with doing this dungeon without using my Damage Reduction potions. Dragonsbreath won’t out right kill me but it chews through my food supply like no other. There’s a 70% chance it will use Razor-Sharp claws which is that big attack that does 338 damage twice and it has a 30% chance to use Dragonbreath does 39×30 damage over 2.9 seconds. Malcs doesn’t have a normal attack (thank goodness because it would hit for 662!) but has two special attacks instead. Auto eat stops kicking in at 368 so I have very little damage reduction to spare. The boss, Malcs, The Guardian of Melvor, has a max hit on one of its abilities that hits me for 338 health. With 35% damage reduction and 920 hp I was able to idle through and let auto eat heal me but just barely. If you follow the wiki link you can see there’s a lot contained in that little book!Ĭlearing the Volcanic Dungeon 100 times unlocks the Infernal Stronghold Dungeon as well as spells form the Ancient Magicks spell book. I was surprised to find it also awards a lore book, A Tale of the Past, a future’s prophecy, which is 1 of 3 books. Clearing the Volcanic Cave once awards a Fire Cape for every completion and unlocks 4 additional God Dungeons, Air, Walter, Earth, and Fire. The jump in the Highest Combat Level Monster between the previous dungeon, Dragons Den ( Highest Level 272), and the Volcanic Cave (Highest Level 677) is significant. The Volcanic Cave Dungeon is the first of the Elite dungeons. This is what prompted me to try my luck at the Volcanic Cave to see if I was able to idle through it. I figured I could take the a little hit in the damage department for a nice boost to damage reduction. The Dragon Gloves I was wearing offered no damage reduction but had a slight boost to damage stats.

Not only did I acquire enough slayer coins to purchase some more Agility obstacles but I also looted a pair of Paladin Gloves which grant 4% damage reduction. I wasn’t originally planning on pursuing Slayer tasks this week but I’m glad I did. There’s room for improvement but I’m happy with it for now.
