===Manual-Eating Build===
===Pre-Ancient Build===
The guide assumes that you have completed {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} at least once, and have obtained the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}}. If not, then check out this {{Icon|Ancient Claw/Guide|type=item|Ancient Claw Guide}} for how to obtain this key item.
The guide provides a build that does not use any ancient armour and will require manual eating to survive. This build should be able to get you though the dungeon one time, but you will need to time your eating carefully, especially when you are stunned.


Before attempting {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}}, it is strongly recommended that your {{Icon|Auto Eat|type=upgrade}} threshold is higher than all of {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons|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.
This build can achieve that with as low as {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|80}}, but if you are attempting this dungeon under levelled then it is recommended that you check the [[Combat Simulator]] to see if there are any improvements that can be made, especially if you are in . Improvements that give a higher DR, higher HP or higher auto-eat threshold will give you a better chance of survival. Improvements that give a stronger attack will reduce the time taken to complete the dungeon, but are secondary to DR improvements.


The boss in this dungeon is {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons}} (Malcs), and the strongest attack is the combination of Sealing (Stun) + Penetrating Claws.
* {{SkillReq|Attack|80}} {{SkillReq|Strength|80}} {{SkillReq|Defence|80}}
* {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|80}}
* {{SkillReq|Prayer|80}}
* {{SkillReq|Slayer|75}}
* {{Icon|Auto Eat - Tier III|type=upgrade}}

* Use {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} and {{PrayerIcon|Chivalry}} (or better) for 3% DR and accuracy.
* Use {{Icon|Witch|type=mark}} level 4 and {{Icon|Yak|type=mark}} level 3 synergy to give extra 2% DR against ranged.
* Equip {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion III}} (or higher) for improved DR.
 
===Ancient Build===
 
This build is designed to make it easier to obtain the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Core|qty=10}} and allows you to complete the dungeon without manual eating. However, this build is not recommended for idling as it will use a lot of resources. This build increases DR so that auto-eat makes the dungeon survivable, but also has a reasonable attack level.

* The {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} can be substituted for the {{ItemIcon|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 {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} and {{PrayerIcon|Redemption}} (or better) for 3% DR and an increase in accuracy.
* Use prayers to increase your accuracy, as without your hit chance against {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons|Malcs}} will be very low e.g. ~25% without prayers, compared to ~40% with. Using {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion}} (any level) will give you a significant advantage.
* Use {{Icon|Witch|type=mark}} level 4 and {{Icon|Yak|type=mark}} level 3 synergy to give extra 2% DR against ranged.
* Equip {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}} for 10% DR.
 
===Gear Options===
There are many options with this build:
* Equip the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}} after the first clear to further increase DR, and will make it easier to get the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw|qty=10}} needed to get the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}}.
* Equip the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}} after the first clear to further increase DR, and will make it easier to get the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw|qty=10}} needed to get the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}}.
* Replace the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Shield}} with {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} (DFS) for a good defence against {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons|Malcs}}.
* Use {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} over the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}}. If you do not have the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} then check out the [[Ancient Claw/Guide|Ancient Claw Guide]].
* Consider equipping {{ItemIcon|Silver Diamond Ring}} to furthe increase DR. This may reduce your Dungeon clear time, but also increases your chances of survival.
* Use {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} to increase your dungeon clear time if you DR is sufficient.
 
* Use {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} over the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Shield}} for better defence.
At {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|99}}, and with the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} equipped, allows the dungeon to be completed with ease.
* Once you can survive, use stronger prayers to increase your accuracy at the expense of DR.
* Use {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion}} (any level) to give an attack advantage, but only if you can survive the dungeon easily - you will lose up to 10% DR.

When eating, pay special attention to the following special moves from {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Leader of Dragons|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>640 \times (1-\text{DR}) \times 1.3 \times 2</math>.
