OSRS Tombs of Amascut Solo 545: Low-Competition Money Making Tactics
Yo, Scapers! Wanna know a killer way to stack GP in OSRS without fighting a crowd for loot? Tombs of Amascut (ToA) Solo 545 is where it’s at. I’ve been grinding these raids for ages, and let me tell ya, the loot at this level is insane think Tumeken’s Shadow or Masori Armor money. Why 545? It’s tough, sure, but most players stick to group runs or lower levels, leaving high-level solos like this a goldmine with barely any competition. Less people, more GP for you! Ready to tackle the Jaltevas Pyramid like a pro? Here’s my guide to crushing Solo 545 ToA, from gear to bosses to raking in millions. Let’s do this!
Why Pick Solo 545 for Money?
Okay, so why grind Solo 545 when you could chill in Entry Mode or team up? Easy: big loot, low competition. At Raid Level 545, you’re deep in Expert Mode (300-600), so the bosses hit like trucks, but the drop rates for Uniques like Tumeken’s Shadow (938M+), Masori Body (39M), or Osmumten’s Fang (24M) are juicy. Since it’s solo, you keep all the loot. No splitting with a team! Plus, not many players dare to solo at this level ‘cause it takes skill and gear. That means less crowded worlds and more consistent profits.
Quick Profit Breakdown (1.7 kills/hour, no deaths):
- Average GP/Hour: ~10.3M (after tax)
- Big Drops: Tumeken’s Shadow (938M+), Masori Armor pieces, Osmumten’s Fang
- Supply Costs: ~707K per raid
Tempted yet? Let’s talk about what you need to get started.
Getting Ready: Skills, Quests, and Gear
Solo 545 ain’t a walk in Lumbridge. You gotta come prepared, or you’re toast. Here’s the rundown on what you need to survive the Tombs.
Skills
- Combat: 95+ in Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic. 99’s better, but 95 works if you’re tight on XP.
- Prayer: 94+ for Piety, Rigour, Augury. Gotta have those top-tier prayers (Knight’s Waves and Mage Arena II unlock these).
- Hitpoints: 90+ minimum. You’re gonna take some hits, trust me.
- Herblore: 77+ for Sanfew Serums. These are your lifeline.
Quests
- Beneath Cursed Sands: Gotta finish this to even enter ToA.
- King’s Ransom: Unlocks Piety. You’ll want it for melee DPS.
Gear Setup
You don’t need a bank worth 5.7B, but solid gear is a must. Here’s a gear table for high-end and budget options:
| Slot | BiS Gear | Budget Option |
|---|---|---|
| Head | Masori Mask (f) | Armadyl Helmet |
| Body | Torva Platebody | Bandos Chestplate |
| Legs | Torva Platelegs | Bandos Tassets |
| Weapon | Tumeken’s Shadow / Zaryte Crossbow | Toxic Blowpipe / Trident |
| Shield | Elysian Spirit Shield | Dragonfire Shield |
| Amulet | Amulet of Torture | Amulet of Fury |
| Ring | Lightbearer | Ring of Suffering (i) |
| Cape | Imbued God Cape (Mage Arena II) | Fire Cape |
Quick Tip: No Tumeken’s Shadow? Grab a Zaryte Crossbow with Dragon Bolts it slaps. Lightbearer is a game-changer for special attack regen, so don’t skip it.
Inventory Setup
Your inventory’s gotta carry you through the whole raid. Here’s what I pack:
- 1-2 Divine Super Combat Potion (2) (~20K)
- 10 Sanfew Serum (4) (~213K)
- Toxic Blowpipe with Dragon Darts + Scales (~60K)
- 25 Resurrect Greater Ghost (~29K)
- 30-40 Dragon Arrows (~75K)
- 250 Tumeken’s Shadow Charges (~287K)
- 10 Black Chinchompas (~23K)
- Runes for Lunar spells (heals, utility)
Total Cost: ~707K per raid. Not cheap, but the potential for a 938M drop makes it worth it, right?
Invocations: Dialing Up the Challenge
The Invocation System lets you customize the raid’s difficulty, and at 545, you’re pushing it hard. You want invocations that boost loot without making you rage-quit. Here’s my setup:
| Category | Invocation | Raid Level | Why I Pick It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time Limit | Jog for It | +15 | 35 minutes is tight, but I can clear it with practice. |
| Attempts | Hardcore Run | +25 | One shot, no mistakes. Boosts loot chance, too. |
| Helpful Spirit | No Help Needed | +40 | Cuts supplies to 10%, but Sanfew Serums got me covered. |
| Path Level | Pathmaster | +50 | Levels up all paths 3x for harder fights, better drops. |
| Prayer | Quiet Prayers | +20 | Prayers 10% weaker, but I flick like a pro to manage. |
| Restoration | On a Diet | +15 | No food allowed, but Sanfew Serums restore HP, so it’s fine. |
| Boss Mechanics | Stuff like Artery Issues, Overclocked | ~385 | Stack boss mods to hit 545 without breaking my brain. |
Total Raid Level: 545. If you’re still learning, swap Jog for It for Walk for It (+10) to get a 40-minute timer. It’ll cost you ~2% profit, but it’s safer.
Why these? They max out your Unique Drop Chance while keeping the raid soloable. Avoid Dehydration or Deadly Prayers unless you’re a flicking master.
Path Strategies: Owning the Demi-Bosses
ToA’s got Four Paths, each with a puzzle and a demi-boss. I like doing Apmeken > Scabaras > Het > Crondis for flow. Here’s how to smash each one at 545:
Path of Apmeken (Ba-Ba)
- Puzzle: Waves of monkeys come at you. Kill in this order: Cursed > Shaman > Range/Mage/Volatile > Melee. Use Volatiles to blow up Melee Monkeys and save time. Fix pillars by assigning yourself to a vent.
- Boss Fight: Ba-Ba smacks with melee and ranged. Pray Protect from Melee and dodge boulders. Stab with Osmumten’s Fang. At ~70% HP, stop 5:1 ticking to spawn baboons, then let boulders kill ‘em. Bone Dagger spec on entry, then click Ba-Ba. Aim for 3:15-3:45.
- Tip: If you’re about to idle, hit Melee Monkeys with Tumeken’s Shadow. Don’t chase high-priority targets and lose ticks.
Path of Scabaras (Kephri)
- Puzzle: Solve scarab puzzles like Lights Out or Addition Puzzle. RuneLite’s ToA Puzzle Helper is a lifesaver. Range explosive scarabs to stay safe.
- Boss Fight: Kephri spawns scarabs and spits poison. Use Toxic Blowpipe or Tumeken’s Shadow. Interrupt egg-laying with ranged hits. Place purple circle first, then blue circle for entries (search “Kephri entry trick” on YouTube). Bone Dagger spec after first swarm. Aim for 4:50-5:15.
- Tip: Trap rangers with rabba trap. Swarm scarabs quick before they overwhelm. Use Redemption off agile scarabs if HP’s low.
Path of Het (Akkha)
- Puzzle: Reflect light to hit a statue, then mine the obelisk (85+ Mining, Dragon Pickaxe). One-phase it with high Mining.
- Boss Fight: Akkha switches styles fast (Mage/Range > Melee/Mage > Range/Melee). Pray right and use Osmumten’s Fang or Tumeken’s Shadow. Dodge black shadows and beams. Move counter-clockwise to avoid rough transitions. Aim for 4:50-5:20.
- Tip: RuneLite’s Raids Death Indicator shows when to step back from shadows. Pray Mystic Might when shadows are down to save prayer.
Path of Crondis (Zebak)
- Puzzle: Fill jugs, pour into basin. Dodge spikes and poison. Freeze crocs with Ice Spells.
- Boss Fight: Zebak alternates ranged and magic. Pray Protect from Ranged and use Toxic Blowpipe. Dodge acid and boulders. If healthy, pray against Blood Barrage every third attack to save prayer. Aim for 3:55-4:20.
- Tip: Seercull hits hard. For Zaryte Crossbow, spec with Adrenaline > Surge > ZCB.
Final Boss: The Wardens
The Wardens are the big test. Three phases, and at 545, they’re no joke.
- Phase 1 (Obelisk): Block troughs to slow orb charge (3 damage per orb). Bandos Godsword specs with Liquid Adrenaline to lower defenses. DPS the obelisk hard.
- Phase 2 (First Warden): Block east for Elidinis, west for Tumeken. Pray against their style and dodge spikes/beams. Keep moving.
- Phase 3 (Second Warden): Arena changes, and two demi-bosses (like Ba-Ba, Kephri) spawn. Step side-to-side to avoid unprayable damage. Death Charge every core, pray Preserve after salt ends. Aim for 8:45-9:45.
Tip: Save Sanfew Serums for Phase 3. Lightbearer regens specs for Zaryte Crossbow or Bone Dagger.
Profit Hacks: Make That GP Rain
Wanna max out your Solo 545 ToA profits? Try these:
- Speed Kills: Aim for 1.7 kills/hour (33-minute raids). Practice movement and flicking. Time’s GP!
- Gear Switches: 6-way switch for Zebak saves ~10 seconds. No melee switches? Bring SGS or AGS for Wardens.
- Track Drops: Unique chance is ~1/12.2 (deathless, no skull skips, 3-down Warden). Check raid party interface for odds.
- GE Timing: Prices swing hard (Tumeken’s Shadow ~938M, Masori Body ~39M). Use Grand Exchange Tracker to sell high.
- Start Easy: Learn mechanics in Entry Mode (0-50), then scale up. Use Walk for It when starting out.
Don’t Mess These Up
- Skull Skipping: 35-minute timer might not allow it. Kill skulls if you’re cutting it close.
- Prayer Fails: Quiet Prayers weakens protection by 10%. Flick carefully, use Preserve at Zebak and Wardens P3.
- Overdoing Invocations: Overclocked + Artery Issues is brutal. Stick to manageable mods.
- Supply Shortage: No Help Needed cuts supplies to 10%. Lean on Sanfew Serums and Resurrect Greater Ghost.
Why’s It Low Competition?
Most players chill in Entry Mode (0-149) or group up at 150-300. Solo 545 is rare ‘cause it needs:
- Decent gear (or smart budget setups)
- Tight mechanics (flicking, movement)
- ToA know-how
That means less crowded worlds and no loot splits. Stick to Worlds 329, 331, 333, or 531 to avoid lag spikes.
Wrap-Up
Solo 545 Tombs of Amascut is a straight-up GP machine for skilled players. With ~10.3M GP/hour and a shot at Billion-GP Drops, it’s worth the sweat. Start in Entry Mode, nail the mechanics, and climb to 545. Got tips or questions? Drop ‘em below! What’s your dream ToA drop? I’m all about that Masori Body drip. Keep grinding, Scapers!
