Requirements

Complete Birthright of the Dwarves to access Chaos Giants. They remain aggressive and drop stackable supplies, so bring enough sustain to handle several at once.

Sustain setups tested

  • Soul Split, Bonecrusher, and a demon horn necklace: the strongest long-session setup tested in the video.
  • Penance aura with Soul Split: restores Prayer from incoming damage and worked well with enough giants attacking.
  • Vampyrism aura: usable without Soul Split, but the tested setup gradually lost health when several giants were attacking.

Protect the drop

A legendary pet collected the Dragon pickaxe shown in the video, but pets sometimes ignore nearby items. Use a loot-beam or Alt1 notification and stay close enough to respond.

  • A charming imp can remove charm drops first, leaving fewer ground items for the pet.
  • An augmented weapon with Scavenging is optional if you want passive Invention components while farming.
