Fist of Gunthix: First Impressions

Hi viewers,

The other day I decided that it might not be a bad idea to try out the Fist of Gunthix mini-game. What tempted me most was the rewards, as out of all mini-games I personally think that these rewards are the best (mabye). The gauntlets look awesome, especially the dragon gauntlet (the best defence gauntlet in runescape). So of course, I have to try it out.

To the top right is the path to fist of gunthix. Varrok tele is probably the fastest way to get there. It's a fairly simple path, but you DO have to travel through low level wilderness. Also, be a little wary because of a strange glitch that causes reverents (uhg) to follow you inside of the mini-game cave.

The guide to Fist of Gunthix is VERY misleading. The guide makes it seem quite complicated, but in truth, it is irratatingly simple. You are assigned to two positions. Hunter, and hunted. Hunter is simple. Follow the arrow(s), and kill who you assigned to kill. If they all crowd in the center, don't freak out. It actually isn't that hard to find the hunted player. Do note that your arrows don't always point in the right direction.

If you are hunted, it's very much a different story. You need your crystal thing, so grab it from one of the pillars next to where you spawn. Higher levels could probably just go straight to the center and sit there (the crystal charges faster the closer you are to the center).

If you are a low level player (like me), hang around the back. Keep your run on, and periodically move around the wall of the cave. To be safe, only come as close to the center as far as you can see the little tele houses. This not only makes it harder for the hunter to find you, but it also has a good chance of glitching the arrow that the hunter uses. Keep going like this.

Now if the hunter DOES find you, throw your little teleport orb down and run to the opposite wall. This will confuse the hunter. After this, it's a good idea to stay halfway between the wall and the tele houses, to make sure you can make a clean getaway. Use the tele houses like the tele orb.

Sounds complicated eh? It's not too bad. But if you want those d gauntlets badly, buy the damaged ones from the GE (110k or so) and get 60 tokens so you can repair it.

Overall it is a worthless and boring mini-game. It has excellent rewards, but unless you are level 120 you can't effectively fight in the game. But I did (lvl 71) beat a lvl 110 at it. It took like 30 minutes.

My advice: only waste your time on this enough to get 60 tokens.

Rating: 2.5/5 (2 just for rewards)
