| Instead of the {{ItemIcon|Ring of Wealth}}, a {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} can be used; it will give you an additional 100k-150K GP per clear, but only a 5% chance to double Infernal Core drops, making it worse for those farming only {{ItemIcon|Infernal Core|Infernal Cores}} but better for those also farming GP.

| For those who have already acquired their {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}}, thus exclusively interested in GP, please see [[Money_Making#Combat|the Combat section of the Money-Making Guide]].

This article is about the guide for Infernal Stronghold. For the dungeon itself, see
Infernal Stronghold.
Why Clear Infernal Stronghold?
There three main reasons for completing the 
Infernal Stronghold:
Manual-Eating Build
The guide assumes that you have completed 
Volcanic Cave at least once, and have obtained the 
Ancient Claw. If not, then check out this Ancient Claw Guide for how to obtain this key item.
Before attempting Infernal Stronghold, it is strongly recommended that your 
Auto Eat threshold is higher than all of 
Malcs moves when you are not stunned. This build can achieve that with 900 HP, although it is advised to check it with the Combat Simulator to be sure.
The boss in this dungeon is Malcs, the Leader of Dragons (Malcs), and the strongest attack is the combination of Sealing (Stun) + Penetrating Claws.
The Ancient Claw can be substituted for the 
Sunset Rapier at a push, but due to the boss stun attack being very powerful, the faster you can attack after stun, the better your overall chances.
Use prayers to increase your accuracy, as without your hit chance against Malcs will be very low e.g. ~25% without prayers, compared to ~40% with. Using 
Diamond Luck Potion (any level) will give you a significant advantage.
Equipping the 
Infernal Cape after the first clear as this will increase DR, and will make it easier to get the 10 
Infernal Claw needed for upgrading.
The 
Dragonfire Shield (DFS) which can be obtained from the Volcanic Cave is another good option, and can be paired with 
Icicle Volley and 
Witch. This combination is very effective against the 
Green Dragon. Similarly, with at least 20,000 Accuracy 
Slicing Winds is another good option.
The DFS is one of the best defences against Malcs. However, for an extra increase in DR, consider equipping 
Silver Diamond Ring. Doing so will reduce your Dungeon clear time, but may increase your chances of survival. With DFS equipped as well as 990 HP it should be sufficient to clear this dungeon with ease.
Malcs Special Moves
Pay attention to the following special moves from Malcs:
- Sealing + Penetrating Claws: do not underestimate this combo. The Spam Eating kicks in with a delay after you push a keyboard button, so it is important that you start before the Penetrating Claws hit you. This special move has two instances of damage separated by a short gap, so a good idea to use Spam Eating. The damage from Penetrating Claws is calculated as [math]\displaystyle{ 640 \times (1-\text{DR}) \times 1.3 \times 2 }[/math].
- Sealing + Tail Whip: Heal to full HP before this hits, and if you have time, look what the max damage of the Tail Whip is when you are stunned. You may find that you can delay manual eating depending on whether your HP allows. The damage from this move can be calculated as [math]\displaystyle{ 690 \times (1-\text{DR}) \times 1.3 }[/math].
- Sealing + Usual Attack: Occurs when Malcs uses two Sealing attacks in row. The approach given in Tail Whip works well here.
- Sealing + Inferno: Not as strong as the other attacks, and one that you can normally rely on Auto Eat to survive.
Idling Options
This build relies on high DR and a high HP and the top tier of Auto Eat and uses melee as this gives a high amount of damage reduction (DR). If your consumables run out, then you will not survive, so be sure that you have enough in the bank before you begin idling.
Requirements
The 
Prayer Scroll or 
Alchemist's Bag can be used to reduce prayer costs and the number of potions needed to idle the Infernal Stronghold.
Alternative options are available if the 
Air God Dungeon has been completed. The 
Aeris God Gloves and 
Aeris God Boots each give an additional 2% DR. Similarly, once the Infernal Stronghold has been completed the Infernal Cape can give another 2% DR. In 
Agility the Lake Swim can be used to give an extra +1% DR.
Once you have sufficient DR to idle comfortable, you can also consider wearing the 
Chapeau Noir for a 10% chance of doubling the items received, which can reduce the number of dungeons needed.
Bonuses that improve HP
Bonuses from Agility Obstacles and certain items can reduce the amount of DR required considerably by increasing your maximum HP.

Level 60
Level 80- Level 80
Notes:
- The Cliff Balance will use +2 extra prayers each hit
- Without
Finn you will lose out on roughly 1% DR
For example, a 
Level 90 with all of the extra HP listed above, would drop the overall DR requirement from 59% down to 53%. Lower DR means that you reduce the use of potions, Prayers and the Witch summon. When combined with all of the equipment improvements mentioned earlier results in a lower minimum HP of around Level 76.
After Water God Dungeon
With access to Ancient Magicks and late-game armour and boosts, the dungeon can be idled with magic more quickly due to the Combat Triangle advantage. With this build, there is no need for any consumable except food and runes, and no need for boosts from agility. The spare slots in this build are filled with item doubling boosts, but you can change these depending on your goal.
There is flexibility on this build. For example, 
Aorpheat's Signet Ring can be used instead of 
Ring of Wealth to get an additional 100,000
+ per clear, but this reduces chance of doubling 
Infernal Cores e.g. from 10% down to 5% chance.
