NEX
Nex is unlike any other monster in RuneScape. With 16 different attacks and the ability to run faster than players, this venture should not be taken lightly.

=Video Guide=
The video guides will help you the most, the text is to be used as supplement. REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE VIDEO GUIDES SAY YOU MUST USE THE SETUP POSTED IN THIS GUIDE.
Please familiarize yourself with this video guide:
=THE FROZEN KEY=
To even be able to enter the Zaros encampment, you need to have obtained a Frozen Key. To get this key, you must go to the other four GWD boss encampments and kill the minions until you obtain a shard of a key. Note that killing the minions in the main chamber will not suffice; the kills need to be in the designated encampments. Once you have all 4 pieces, put the key together.
The key will last for 5 uses, then, unless you repair the key at an armor stand in a POH or at Bob in Lumbridge you must go kill the minions for another key. Because of the time it takes to gather the shards for another key, it is extremely recommended that you recharge it for 50k coins per use. It's also a good idea to keep close track of your charges-it can be very inconvenient to be rushing back to your gravestone only to discover that you can't open the frozen door.
=THE FROZEN DOOR=
I recommend wearing a holy symbol and a zamorak arrow. These items will be dropped upon opening the frozen door.
Once you have the key, head south of the GWD entrance, a little bit east of the Armadyl encampment, and enter the Frozen Door. If this is your first time entering the Zaros lair, you’ll need a rope to go down the hole. If you didn’t already bring one, search the skeleton in the room, grab the rope, and climb down. You’ll land in a mini room just outside of the encampment, with an agility hole leading inside.
Be sure to remove all other GOD items (i.e. the holy symbol and the zamorak arrow) before using the agility shortcut.
=ZAROS KILLCOUNT AND ENCAMPMENT=
Killcount can be avoided if you equip full ancient ceremonial set upon opening the door to the Saferoom/bank wear the gear listed below until you reach the door. PRAY MAGIC WHILE RUNNING THROUGH.
=Running through the Encampment Setup:=
• Verac's helmet
• Karil's top/Black d'hide body
• Bandos Tassets/Verac's skirt ← bandos item will cause you to get attacked.
• Fury amulet/Glory amulet
• Chaotic rapier/Abyssal whip/Dragon claws/Chaotic longsword
• Dragon boots/Rune boots/Climbing boots
• Berserker Ring/Ring of Life
• Barrows Gloves/Gauntlets
• Fire cape/Skill cape/Ardougne Cape
• Dragonfire shield/Dragon defender/Toktz-ket-xil/Elysian spirit shield/Spectral spirit shield
NOTE: IF YOU DIE IN THE ENCAMPMENT
Be sure to keep your frozen key on death in order to return to your grave.
=BANK TIME=
Ashuelot Reis, will allow you to bank. In this room you can view about half the boss room, and check how many people are currently in the room. Once you’re ready, it’s time to tackle the boss.

=THE FIGHT=
Now that you’re finally all prepared, it’s time to tackle Nex. Nex has 5 different stages: smoke, shadow, blood, ice, and Zaros, each stage occupying 20% of Nex’s LP. During each stage, she attacks with different styles (according to the stage she is on) and therefore has different weaknesses. Note that many of these attacks cannot be avoided, so unless there is a method listed, the only thing to do is to anticipate what will happen and try to stay alive.
SMOKE STAGE:
Right after glacies is summoned by nex you turn on protect from magic and piety, then you double claw spec right away to try and skip the first phase.
Stay MELEE Distance if you are able to.
This is the stage it CAN POISON you. no other stage but this one.
Notice how you get a *cough* that means your stats will be drained by 2 constantly which is not good.. that's why you try and do 16-20 claw specs (8-10 people) and skip the first phase. 9 times out of 10 you get the cough and u just keep killing nex (with bow and bolts) until he says "Umbra don't fail me" then you go and kill umbra. AS SOON AS UMBRA IS DEAD THE WHOLE TEAM HAS TO SPREAD OUT AND GET RID OF THE *COUGH* If you have *cough* don't attack nex until you get a message from the game saying *the smoke cloud has dissipated*
SHADOW STAGE:
After the team kills Umbra you go onto the next phase which is called the Shadow Phase. Once on the shadow phase pray melee or redemption. Praying mage or range does not effect the damage you take. The distance you are from nex dictates the amount of damage you take. If you are really close to nex on this phase u can take up to 350 damage and if you are really far from nex then you take 20-30. So this phase is fairly simple just run once you see a shadow under you and return to killing nex.
Also another tip on shadow phase is when nex says "Fear the Darkness" Or "Fear My Shadow" that's how you know he will be giving off the shadow attack so be ready to click a few steps away.
So after nex is 2/5 dead she will call out umbra to not fail him. So you go and kill umbra and try to keep nex away from people killing umbra. that is called luring. If nex is attacking you when she calls out umbra then you run south and try to lure him away from umbra.
If you have lured nex during umbra someone in the cc will say "TAG" in the cc once umbra is dead. "TAG" means to shoot a bolt at nex so he switches stages. you have to "TAG" nex after every mini is killed otherwise nex will stay on that stage until he is "TAGGED"
Now on to the Blood stage.
BLOOD STAGE:
STAY MELEE DISTANCE THE WHOLE TIME. MD = Melee Distance
This stage is the most easiest but most complicated if that makes any sense
Nex will siphon right away so "TAG" nex then stay off till siphon is over.
you want to try to keep your prayer low on this phase because his blood barrage spells takes your prayer down...
Once the very first siphon is over use 1x claw spec drink spec recovery before you spec.
When nex says "I DEMAND A BLOOD SACRIFICE" COUNT 4 HITS AFTER THAT AND GET OFF NEX HE WILL SIPHON HP AND HEAL. this is the biggest problem new people have with nex.
Once he says this count up to 4 hits and get off. If your unsure or lost count best thing to do is just stay off until siphon is over.
Once nex siphons you should attack the Blood Reavers twice to try and kill them this also helps form nex healing a lot.
Then continue to kill nex until he calls out cruor.
After cruor is dead you "tag" nex then it goes onto the Ice Stage.
ICE STAGE:
On the ice stage nex uses the spell "ICE Barrage".
Although this is the next easiest phase in my opinion. All you do is stay MD (melee distance) and attack nex until he says "Contain This" or "Die now in a prison of Ice". When you see this that means the person farthest from nex at that time is frozen in a prison of ice and it is a requirement that you try to free them by simply clicking on the ice around that player. that's all for that. Iif the player doesn't get freed in time he will be hit 550+.
After nex is 4/5 dead he will call upon glacies to try and save him but you end up just kill galcies and DD (Death Dot) where glacies used to be and "TAG" nex AFTER every one is DD'd. After the team is more experienced you do not DD, but surround and spread out keeping within melee distance.
ZAROS STAGE:
This is the last and final phase before nex is dead. He will Pray SS (soul split) and Deflect from melee attacks. So basically just range the whole time and stay above 300lp.
So once glacies is dead equip your diamond bolts and just start attacking nex. You must stay MD (melee Distance) otherwise he will ss back up to half hp... which is not good.
If you have to brew down on this phase always drink a restore after you brew on this phase to not keep you from tanking.
And finally at the end of the kill he will use the curse prayer of Wrath which can also hit up to 300
=DYING=
A teammate will bless the grave ASAP (do not freak out we may have to finish the kill first, just proceed to getting back to your grave), get out your frozen key (make sure that it still has at least 2 charges), and head to the encampment.
