Corporeal Beast

One of the most iconic high-level RuneScape bosses, the Corporeal Beast is well-known for its valuable - but rare - drops. The Corporeal Beast boasts the most hitpoints of any boss in Etherum, as well as powerful attacks in all three combat styles. However, players using Protection from Magic will find that the beast's attacks are quite inaccurate, making it much more survivable. The Corporeal Beast has the following three attacks:

• A single-target melee attack that does up to 70 damage
• A multi-target range attack that does up to 35 damage
• A multi-target magic attack that does up to 70 damage

Players who are soloing the Corporeal Beast will likely need quite a bit of food to finish a kill. Even if its damage output isn't as high as other bosses like The Untouchable or Slash Bash, the sheer weight of hitpoints makes Corp a challenge to take down. While fighting the Corporeal Beast, players should take care to keep their hitpoints above 70, or they could be dropped in a single hit. Torva Armor is particularly effective for this purpose, as the increased maximum hitpoints makes it easy to stay safe. Damage-reducing shields like the Elysian Spirit Shield Defense Shield are also commonly used to lower the chance of getting hit high.

Gear and inventory setup

Due to the Corporeal Beast's attack styles and the need to pray Protection from Magic, the best armour to wear is melee armour. Coincidentally, the best attack style is also melee. Although it's possible to use Blood Barrage at Corp, it is quite slow and risky if you happen to step next to the beast. Ferocious rings are fairly cheap, so longevity isn't a huge deal here. However, insufficient defense gives you a greater chance of being combo'd to death by a few lucky hits, so you might as well bulk up on defense.

It's possible to use a bunyip as your familiar here, and the extra healing can come in handy. However, keep in mind that a bunyip can only heal you if your hitpoints are below the maximum. In order to make use of a bunyip, you will have to spend a lot of time with your hitpoints in the 70s and 80s, which is very risky. A better choice is to bring a Beast of Burden familiar - a Pack Yak, War Tortoise, or Spirit Terrorbird. You can then pack this familiar full of extra food to help you last longer.

Here is the best gear to use in each gear slot:

Inventory Setup

Your inventory and familiar setup at Corp will depend on your gear. Players with maxed or near-maxed gear will be able to last for upwards of 10 kills, while players with welfare gear may only get a couple of kills per trip. When possible, it is worth maximizing the number of kills per trip to save money on Ferocious ring charges.

Maxed Gear

Requirements:

• Full Torva Armor
• Abyssal Vine Whip
• Divine Spirit Shield
• Overloads
• Pack Yak

With this gear setup, you can expect to last around 15 kills per trip.

Getting there

You will need a Ferocious ring to access the Corporeal Beast.

Step 1: Teleport to the Corporeal Beast's Lair

Right-click on your ferocious ring and choose "Corporal beast" [sic]:

You will end up here:

Step 2: Run to the Corporeal Beast Portal

Run west as far as you can go, then turn north and run back east. You will come upon a large, open room with a solitary white portal in the middle of it. Click on this portal to teleport to the Corporeal Beast. It's a good idea to turn on your prayers before entering, as Corp can attack you immediately.

Step 3: Kill the Corporeal Beast

Here is a video showing a complete Corporeal Beast kill, including gearing up and getting there. If you can, I recommend you watch this video in HD.

Tips and Tricks

Safespot Between Kills

If you need to log out or go AFK while at the Corporeal Beast, you don't have to teleport out of the boss room entirely. Instead, you can just run into the tunnels to the west and Corp will not be able to attack you:

Timing the Spawn

Like many other bosses, the Corporeal Beast has a 123-second spawn timer. As it turns out, it takes exactly 120 seconds for an item dropped on the ground to despawn, so the Corporeal Beast will respawn 3 seconds after the drop from the previous kill disappears. Assuming you aren't picking up his bones, you can use this indicator to turn on your prayer right as the boss respawns.

Drops

The Corporeal Beast has some of the rarest and most valuable drops of any monster. The main drops revolve around getting the supplies to create Spirit Shields, these drops are Holy Elixirs, Blessed Spirit Shields and most importantly the Sigils. If you get the Holy Elixir you can combine it with a spirit shield to make a Blessed Spirit Shield. Once you have a Blessed Spirit Shield just add a sigil to it to produce one of the four sigil spirit shields. There is also a very low chance of receiving a Dark Core Pet from the Corporeal Beast. This is the only Boss pet that isn't a direct copy from the main boss. This is because the Corporeal Beast Pet is given to those who report a dupe.
