What should I upgrade next?

Method-specific progression priorities

1

Ancient sceptre with Shadow Rush or Shadow Barrage

Any shadow spell can stun the Leviathan and expose its weak rear without wasting runes on an unrelated ice spell.

Major upgrade
2

Add Webweaver bow or toxic blowpipe for enrage

The abyssal pathfinder makes fast Ranged attacks especially effective during the final phase.

Major upgrade
3

Bow of faerdhinen → Zaryte crossbow with ruby bolts (e)

Use the one-handed crossbow route with a compatible buckler and preserve the separate enrage weapon.

Moderate upgrade

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips

Ignoring accelerating prayers

Losing position during shadow stun

Mishandling boulder and pathing: Use arena cover and movement without breaking the attack rhythm.
