Hello everyone and welcome to my guide for:
Nex: Angel of Death
Here in this guide, we will show you the gear, combat styles, phases, and strategies for our newest Ataraxia boss!
As always, my guides are always in need of improvement, and please, if you have any additional information to add, please let me know!
Gear:
There are two different setups to use, Range and Mage. I prefer Range, but you are more than welcome to use Mage, it is just as effective. I do not recommend doing this boss with less than 4 people, as every member will have a chance at loot and will make kills easier.
Range setup:
- Head - Sirenic Helm/Superior Morrigan's Coif/Pernix Coif
- Body - Sirenic Hauberk/Superior Morrigan's Body/Pernix Body
- Legs - Sirenic Chaps/Superior Morrigan's Chaps/Pernix Chaps
- Boots - Flarefrost/Glaiven/Pernix Boots
- Weapon (1h) - Either Ascension w/ t70-90 repriser or Ascension w/ Vengeful Kite. I do not recommend dual asc.
- Weapon (2h) - Noxious Longbow/Decimation w/ Araxxi/Dark Arrows.
- Amulet - Farsight Blood Necklace/Blood Fury/Amulet of Souls/Farsight Necklace
- Ring - Ring of Death (c)/Ring of Death/Archer Ring (i)
- Cape - Completionist cape (t or reg)Enhanced Fire Cape/Max Cape/Ranged Kiln Cape
- Bolts - Ascendri/Ascension/Ruby (e) w/ Diamond (e)
- Gloves - Swift Gloves/Tracking Gloves/Pernix Gloves
- Aura - Vampyrism Aura/Sharpshooter Aura
- Inventory - Titan Pouch (w/ scrolls), 5 sara brew flasks, 2 restore flasks, 1 supreme/holy/overload, rest rocktails
Mage setup:
- Head - Tectonic Mask/Superior Zuriel Hood/Virtus Mask
- Body - Tectonic Robe Top/Superior Zuriel Robe TopVirtus Robe Top
- Legs - Tectonic Robe Bottom/Superior Zuriel Robe Legs/Virtus Robe Bottom
- Boots - Hailfire/Ragefire/Virtus Boots
- Weapon (1h) - Praesul Wand w/ Imperium Core/Seismic Wand w/ Orb/Wand of the Cywir Elders w/ Orb. You can also swap the orbs with the t70-90 Rebounder or Merciless Kiteshield if you want to be more tanky.
- Weapon (2h) - Noxious Staff/Superior Zuriel's Staff (I haven't specifically tried this out yet)
- Amulet - Arcane Blood Necklace/Amulet of Souls/Reaper Necklace
- Ring - Ring of Death (c)/Ring of Death/Seers Ring (i)
- Cape - Completionist cape (t or reg)/Enhanced Fire Cape/Max Cape/Magic Kiln Cape
- Runes - Max Spell you can carry (recommend blood spells for Healing)
- Gloves - Deathtouch Bracelet/Celestial Handwraps/Spellcaster Gloves/Virtus Gloves
- Aura - Vampyrism Aura/Runic Accuracy Aura
- Inventory - Titan Pouch (w/ scrolls), 5 sara brew flasks, 2 restore flasks, 1 supreme/holy/overload, Runes, rest rocktails
Where is Nex: Angel of Death Found?
Outside of the normal Nex area, and there is a hidden door in the lobby. This is an instance-only boss, so only one person should make an instance, and the rest can join in. It does not cost anything to make this instance. You can also easily get here as a Diamond Donor with ;;bp command. Before joining, make sure you are bonfired as well to the maximum. This is essential. Also you can pray mage if you are new, soulsplit if you have experience.
Alright we're in, now what?
PLEASE spread out so that at least one person is in each corner of the arena. This will help mitigate damage from reavers at the beginning as well as avoid the icicles that come in the middle of each quadrant.
Kill the reavers that spawn while keeping away from the middle of any of the quadrants, the reavers that spawn can heal Nex, and also deal 300 damage per reaver that gets through to Nex, you must kill these to move on to the next phase.
Next, after the reavers are killed, continue to DPS Nex until she says:
At this point you want to keep moving. Nex will drop three shadow orbs that will deal constant 300-400 damage per game tick, and you must avoid these at all cost.
At about 80k health, Nex will spawn 4 amalgamation stones, kill these quickly for their respective minions to be spawned: Smoke - Fumus, Shadow - Umbra, Ice - Glacies, Blood - Cruor. The order of these minions killed will determine in what order to take out pillars later. Please take note.
Minion Umbra Glacies Cruor Fumus 
Pillar location SE NE NW SW Please dispatch minions in this order: Fumus, Umbra, Glacies, Cruor. This will make it easier for you in the fight ahead.
After the minions are dispatched, Nex gains 3 abilities:
- Vindicta Fire - Run to an adjacent wall opposite the direction of the smoke. Standing in the smoke will deal 150-200 damage per game tick.
- Smoke Pool - Ignore this mechanic, it deals minimal damage, 150 at most.
- Ice Prison - Spread out, free trapped players to mitigate bleed damage, DPS nex down as much as possible - please communicate if frozen, otherwise you will be hit constant 200-300s over 5 seconds if you are not freed in time.
After Nex hits 25k Health:
Start killing the 4 corner pillars in the same order you killed the minions (Smoke, Shadow, Ice, Blood). The previous abilities are discarded and replaced with a few deadly mechanics:
-
Elements InstaKill - The BIG one I see everyone mess up. Nex will say in chat to one targeted player: "Nex has marked you to take the full force of the elements!" and a blue bar will appear above your head. You MUST run to the middle of the arena and stay within the blue circle or else you will be INSTAKILLED. Once the blue bar fills up, it will be replaced by a second bar. Run out of the blue circle and go to an already defeated pillar to drop an element bomb, which will hit 300s if you stand in it. DO NOT by any means leave this in the middle during the kill.
-
Virus Crystal (Smoke Pillar) - This virus after 10-15 seconds will disable your overloads and drain prayer. Please watch out for this mechanic, as this can seriously impact DPS.
- Shadow Traps (Shadow Crystal) - Nex will spawn shadow traps very similar to regular mode Nex, but usually 3-4 at a time rather than an individual one. Please run from these as they will deal constant 300-400s if you stand still.
- Freeze (Ice Crystal) - Similar to Ice Prison, communicate if frozen, and have players free you.
- Blood Heal (Blood Crystal) - Allows Nex to heal. That's pretty much it.
After all 4 pillars are destroyed, DPS Nex down to 0, and get your loot from the middle of the arena. Everyone will at least get one drop!
That's it! You made it through an AOD kill. Usually kills will take 5-7 minutes with a good team, sometimes less. Please let us know if you have any questions, and I'll work on adding more images and gifs to the guide ?

?CHRISTMAS EVE 2018?
As my first official staff (hue) event, I want to try to utilize the new Christmas event for something a bit more interesting.... ?
Welcome to our Ataraxia Winter Wonderland! Here you can participate in a snowball war, and be on team Saradomin or team Zamorak! I will plan to host a few snowball fights at around 4pm EST standard time on December 24th, 2018.
The winning team will have one random person picked to win 25m cash per round. We will do a total of 3 rounds, and I will oversee the snowball fight alongside another support/mod or two, to determine the players on the winning team. Before the event starts, we will have you state which team you are placed on, blue or red, to verify winning players.
If you are interested, simply be in game 15 minutes before the start time and be ready at 4pm sharp!
Christmas Eve Boss Mass
After the snowball fight, we plan on doing a few boss masses for about 30 minutes each!
Corporeal Beast
Nex
KK
KQ
GWD 2 (probably Greg/Furies)
Bonus: Anyone who gets a Christmas Present drop, will also get a choice of a goodie bag 1-15, with items anywhere from 2m-200m!
?Hope to see you guys on Christmas Eve, and Happy Holidays! ?

Bolin's Road to Boss Pets
Hello everyone! I wanted to do something a bit different with a goal and achievements thread, than your standard typical "skill and loot goals thread". I wanted to see how many kills it would take me to get a boss pet, and how many uniques I'd get during that journey. I figured this would be a fun thing to update daily/weekly, and also will motivate to do some of the more challenging bosses in Ataraxia. I will be using platinum instances for the majority of my bossing. Without further ado, let's get started! I will not be doing hard mode for these pets, as I feel the time invested is better spent casually working on these pets.
First of all my current stats:
Playtime/mode:
Gear I will be using (yes I know I need to upgrade a few):
Part 1: God Wars (GWD1, GWD2, Nex)
In this section, I want to focus on each of the 9 bosses currently in Ataraxia, and will show my current one I'm working on, the killcount of each monster, and the drops when each pet is completed. Some of these bosses have multiple pets.
General Graardor - Drop Rate - 1/5k - Current KC - 1162 - COMPLETED 12/3/2018
Loot:
Kree'Arra - Drop Rate - 1/5k - Current KC - 889
K'ril Tsutsaroth - Drop Rate - 1/5k - Current KC - 1k
Commander Zilyana - Drop Rate - 1/5k - Current KC - 68
Nex - Drop Rate - 1/1k - Current KC - 8
Nymora - Drop Rate - 1/2k - Current KC -
Avaryss - Drop Rate - 1/2k - Current KC
Vindicta - Drop Rate - 1/2k - Current KC -
Gorvek - Drop Rate - 1/2k - Current KC -
Helwyr - Drop Rate - 1/2k - Current KC
Gregorovic - Drop Rate - 1/2k - Current KC
Part 2 - Legiones (Primus, Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus, Sextus)
The next set of bosses are the Legiones, a group of 6 pretty easy bosses that each have their own pet. This will definitely be a grind in and of itself.
Legio Primus - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC - 13
Legio Secundus - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC - 24
Legio Tertius - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC: 34
Legio Quartus - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC: 0
Legio Quintus - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC - 37
Legio Sextus - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC: 21
Part 3 - Classic Bosses (KBD, QBD, Dagannoth Rex, Prime, Supreme, KQ, Corporeal Beast, Chaos Elemental, Jad)
Here lie the classic bosses, the majority of which existed before the conversion to RS3. Each of these bosses are pretty challenging either through time, or being so boring and tedious that even I need to take a break from them!
King Black Dragon - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC: 58
Queen Black Dragon - Drop Rate - 1/1000 - Current KC - 4
Dagannoth Rex - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC: 62
Dagannoth Prime - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC: 35
Dagannoth Supreme - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC: 11
Kalphite Queen - Drop Rate - 1/2000 - Current KC: 0
Corporeal Beast - Drop Rate - 1/2500 - Current KC: 16
Chaos Elemental - Drop Rate - 1/2000 - Current KC: 11
Jad - Drop Rate - 1/50 - Current KC: 0
Part 4: EPIC Bosses (KK, Vorago, ROTS, Araxxor, Kiln)
These bosses are simply the hardest ones we have, they have their unique challenges and will probably be the biggest grind of them all! Some of these have multiple pets!

Closing:
Please feel free to support me if you like, I know this is an overwhelming undertaking of a task and might take 2018 and a majority of 2019 to complete. However, I hope this will inspire others to do PvM, and please feel free to offer suggestions, additions, or give me any advice you like! Thanks for being you, and enjoy my progress!
