Varlamore & Summer Sweep-Up Combat Tweaks – OSRS

Doom of Mokhaiotl Changes

• The melee punish phase now ignores attack delay if the player is using melee.
• Added a sparkly glow to the burrow hole when a unique item is present.
• Replaced triple grub spawns with a single giant grub that has double the health, explodes in a larger area, and causes triple the punishment if it reaches the boss.
• Rockfalls no longer place a permanent rock on your position if you are hit by it while under the protection of the shield orb.
• The centre tile of the shield orb now clears acid as it moves.
• The current Delve level now appears in Doom’s health bar.
• Unclaimed loot can now be retrieved from a chest in the lobby if you leave after pressing ‘Claim and Leave’. The loot interface can also be accessed from further away.
• Made the charged attack particles smaller to reduce the chance of misclicks.
• Improved the Doom’s clickbox to prevent players accidentally clicking through the boss.
• The Holy Water item now correctly one-shots range larva spawns during the fight.
• The Holy Water effect triggered upon killing the boss can now be activated by the bonus damage dealt from the melee punish, not just the primary damage splat.
• Special attack energy no longer regenerates between Delve levels, during loot collection or downtime between fights.
• Killing the Doom of Mokhaiotl during the Melee punish phase will now heal up to 24 Prayer Points, 32 HP and 25% special attack energy regardless of where you’re standing. This will also clear acid in a 3×3 area, centred around water projectiles landing on the ground after the boss has died.
  • The above effects will now also occur if the boss is killed with the bonus damage from the melee punish.
• Reduced the chance of back-to-back rock-throw attacks.
• Grubs now try to spawn farther away from the boss (but still on the same side as the player).
• Melee grubs no longer spawn outside of the shield phase.
• Added an extra tick (0.6s) before the charge beam fires to give players more breathing room to deal with multiple attacks.
• Improved the visibility of the Doom of Mokhaiotl’s melee projectile by using a deeper red colour, matching the one used for Leviathan.
• The Eye of Ayak now instantly kills magic grubs and ignores attack delay.
• Cannons can no longer be placed in any Delve level.
• Added Elite clue scrolls to the loot table, with a drop rate of 1/75 for Delve levels 1-2 and 1/50 for later delves.
