It is heavily advised to use either the {{Icon|Ancient Claw/Guide|type=item|Ancient Claw}} or at the very least {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}} because you want to get out of stun quickly, and the faster your attack speed is, the faster you will do it.

You might want to use prayers to increase your accuracy. Without the prayers, your hit chance against Malcs will likely be around 25%. With them, it's around 40%.<br>

Getting the {{ItemIcon|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 {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}}.

Optionally, it is advised to get the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield|DFS}}, preferably with {{Icon|Icicle Volley|type=spell}} because it oneshots {{Icon|Green Dragon|type=monster|Green Dragons}} or with 20k-accuracy {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} otherwise. DFS can make your fight with Malcs more relaxed if you can't yet survive {{Icon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons|type=monster|Malcs's}} Sealing+Penetrating Claws from full health.

DFS will increase the margin of error that you can make when fighting {{Icon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons|type=monster|Malcs's}}.


You also can swap the {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} for the {{ItemIcon|Silver Diamond Ring}} if you don't have enough DR to be comfortable, but it will drastically reduce your clear speed.

With access to magic armor with late-game DRs, you can now take on this dungeon with proper [[Combat Triangle]] advantage, meaning no need for expendable resources besides food and runes, no need for agility boosts, and even still enough DR to spare some for item doubling.

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.
