Why clear Infernal Stronghold?
There are three main uses for 
Infernal Stronghold:
- Clear it once after 100
Volcanic Caves to get the 
Infernal Cape that has 4% DR. - Clear it 10 times to get 10
Infernal Cores to merge 
Dragon Claw and 
Ancient Claw into 
Infernal Claw. - Clear it infinitely to farm money. This option is feasible closer to the end of the game.
Manual-eating build
The following build is for the players who just finished the Volcanic Cave.
Without manual eating, this build dies from the 
Malcs's combo of Sealing (Stun) + Penetrating Claws.
| Item | Slot | DR% |
|---|---|---|
 (G) Ancient Helmet
|
Head | 7% |
 (G) Ancient Platebody
|

 (G) Ancient Platelegs
|

 (G) Dragon Boots
|

 (U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces
|

| Total | 45% | |
You might want to use prayers to increase your accuracy. Without the prayers, your hit chance against Malcs will likely be around 20%. With them, it's around 40%.
If you have Diamond Luck potions, it might be the right occasion to use them.
Getting the Infernal Cape after the first clear should make it a bit easier to clear it for the next 9 times if you aim for the Infernal Claw.
Optionally, you can grind out the 
DFS, preferably with 
Icicle Volley because it oneshots 
Green Dragons or with 20k-accuracy 
Slicing Winds otherwise. DFS can make your fight with Malcs more relaxed if you can't yet survive Malcs's Sealing+Penetrating Claws from full health.
You also can swap Silver Diamond Ring for 
Aorpheat's Signet Ring if you have enough DR to survive the combo from full HP. It will give you more than 200k GP per clear and a 5% chance to double the drops.
Ideally, the only manual part of the dungeon should be the fight with Malcs - to manually get to full health if he uses Sealing+Penetrating Claws. Check your thresholds in the first fight. As additional info, with DFS and 990 total HP, you definitely can do it like that.
