The Fight:

To ensure a successful kill, it's important to understand the mechanics and avoid being one-hit killed. This guide focuses on guiding you through a single kill without overwhelming you with every Telos mechanic. Let's break down each phase and highlight key mechanics to keep in mind.

1. Enter the instance with 100% adrenaline if possible. Summon both your Skeleton Warrior and Vengeful Ghost. Take an overload potion and activate your melee prayer. Walk towards Telos and let the revolution bar trigger abilities. Use the Volley ability when you have three captured souls and Finger of Death when you have six or more Necroa Stacks. During this phase, be cautious of Telos' stun attack. When he says "Hold still, invader," use Freedom and move away to avoid being hit. If you fail to dodge, remember to reactivate your prayer. Stand in front of the green beam to prevent it from hitting Telos. Proceed to phase two once Telos reaches 300K health.

2. Phase two follows the same basic rules as phase one. Try to lure Telos away from the black beam to prevent his special attack. If you can't lure him away, stand in the beam to block it from Telos. While standing in the beam reduces your damage output, it also decreases the damage taken. Focus on getting Telos down to 200K health to advance to phase three.

3. Phase three incorporates a new mechanic with a red bar. Your goal is to keep the green marker on the left side of the bar. Telos will spawn minions, but your primary focus should be preventing Telos from entering the red beam. If the bar reaches the right side, Telos will unleash a powerful attack. Although triggering this attack won't necessarily be fatal, be prepared to eat through it. Once Telos reaches 100K health, it's time to progress to the final phase.

4. Phase four entails interacting with three fonts and eliminating color beams. The easiest approach is to always stand in a font throughout this phase. By doing so, you can ignore one of Telos' attacks. Walk away to avoid the stun attack and return to the font afterward. Each font follows the same pattern, so repeat the process accordingly. In this phase, you'll consume more food due to increased damage, but it's manageable. After successfully destroying all three fonts, focus your attacks on Telos until he falls. Utilize your power armor's Mark of Death or deal the remaining 25K damage to secure victory.

Remember that this guide emphasizes survival and simplicity, allowing you to gradually optimize your strategies in the future. It's normal to make mistakes, but with practice, you'll become more proficient in dodging attacks and executing flawless kills. Wishing you the best of luck on your Telos journey. See you in the thrilling world of Gielinor!
