Hey guys, so the evolution of combat came out yesterday, and today I decided I wanted to remake my kiln guide to fit it, so I went ahead and tried fight kiln… and it turns out I managed to complete it on my first try!
With the Evolution of Combat, a lot of people were worried that fight kiln would become pretty much impossible. No need to fear though, for those who still want to get that prestigious cape and the great effects that come with it, or for those who want another cape or an onyx or to just do it for the fun of it, the kiln is most definitely doable now!
This is my guide for the fight kiln, and I hope that you'll find it helpful and useful!
There will be both a text portion to this guide explaining everything you need to know, as well as a video portion to this guide to accompany the text portion to show everything outlined and explained in the text.

Wave Notes
Waves 1-3: Stand Southeast, Protect from Ranged, Melee Rangers and Titan Meleers
Wave 4: Stand Northeast, Protect Mage and range the mage, turning on Protect from Ranged if the rangers start attacking you. Then run South and Protect from Ranged, melee rangers.
Wave 5: Stand Northeast, 1 square south and 1 square west of the southern tip of the northeastern barrier that runs north-south and touches the north wall. Lure and trap the Dill on the barrier, Protect from Ranged, range Dill and kill it with a dreadnip and titan. Alternatively, flinch it if you're using a pickaxe.
Wave 6: Stand Northeast, Protect from Magic, Same as Wave 4 except also kill the mage southeast before the rangers.
Wave 7: Stand Southeast, Protect from Ranged and range the mage, then melee the rangers.
Wave 8: Wait in the L-Rock alcove south, Protect from Magic, melee the ranger that's lured, then range the mage.
Wave 9: Protect from Ranged, melee rangers
Wave 10: Start Southeast, Melee Ranger, then mage and kill the Jad southwest.
Wave 11: Protect from Magic, range the mages.
Wave 12: Stand southwest Protect from ranged and then kill ranger, then Protect from Mage and kill rest.
Waves 13-14: Use Range Crystal (Optional). Protect from Magic, range mages.
Waves 15-16: Wait in the L-Rock alcove south, kill the ranger, Protect from Magic, and range the mages and kill everything else.
Wave 17: Wait in the L-Rock alcove south, mage meleer that gets lured south, and then Protect from Magic and kill rest.
Wave 18: Start Northwest, Protect from Magic, melee the ranger, and then run east and melee the other ranger. Run around and trap the meleers behind the middle rock or the mage. Optionally, tank the meleers and mage them. Then range the mage.
Wave 19: Stand in the middle east so Dill gets trapped behind mage from northeast, Protect from Magic, kill the Dill and then kill the mage northeast after the Dill.
Wave 20: Start Southeast, Protect from Magic, range the mage and then kill the Jad southwest
Waves 21-23: Take off Tokkul-Zo, Protect from Melee, Mage the meleers.
Wave 24: Re-equip Tokkul-Zo. Stand 1 square east of the middle rock, Protect from melee, use constitution crystal now (optional). Mage all the meleers, and then protect from ranged and melee the ranger lured to the west of the middle rock.
Wave 25-26: Start Northwest, Protect from Magic, Melee Ranger, then run around and trap the meleers behind either the middle rock or the mages. Optionally, you can just tank the meleers. Mage the meleers and range the mages.
Wave 27: Start Northwest corner, Protect from Melee, Kill Ranger, wait for meleers to come northwest, then mage all the meleers. Then Protect from Magic, run east to the northeast corner and range the mage.
Wave 28: Take the square 1 west of the northern of all the squares for the northeast barrier running north-south that touches the north wall. Call this square X. Start 1 west and 3 south of square X. Protect from Magic. Wait for the northeast Dill to attack you once, then run to square X. Wait for the northwestern Dill to be lured and stuck and unable to reach you because of the first dill. Then proceed to range/mage the western of these two Dills first while using dreadnips and a titan to kill it. Then kill the southern one (the one you first lured) the same way. Then range the mage and kill it, turning off your protection prayer afterwards. sThen run south and circle clockwise around the middle rock. Then stand 3 squares north of the middle rock and kill the Dills one by one as you lure them and get them stuck. If flinching with a pickaxe, do the same thing but use a pickaxe instead of dreadnips and a Titan. Note: ranging or maging the Dills is done to keep you in combat so you can use dreadnips or Titans.

Wave 30: Stand 1 square north of middle rock, Protect from Melee, mage the meleers that can attack you there, and then mage and kill Jad.

Here is a picture of the map of the Fight Kiln area. The dots on the map indicate areas I mention in the waves guide above as follows:
Red - Northwest, Light Blue - Southwest, Blue - Southeast, Green - L-Rock Alcove, Purple - Northeast Barrier, Yellow - 1 North middle rock, Orange - 1 East middle rock, Brown - Middle east, Black - 1 West middle rock
Abilities / Action Bar
I recommend making 3 action bars for the kiln: one for melee, one for ranged, and one for mage. Personally, I don't always use all 3 action bars. Sometimes, I like to just stay on one action bar and go to my magic spellbook and switch there to the other two combat styles. This is more click intensive, but is probably preferable and more to your liking if you don't like scrolling between different action bars.
Here are the abilities I have on each of my action bars (in order listed):
Melee Action Bar: Slice, Dismember, Sever, Fury, Punish, Slaughter, Assault, Preparation, Resonance, Regenerate, Anticipation, Rejuvenate
Ranged Action Bar: Piercing Shot, Snipe, Ricochet, Binding Shot, Bash, Fragmentation Shot, Escape, Preparation, Resonance, Regenerate, Anticipation, Rejuvenate
Magic Action Bar: Impact, Wrack, Combust, Chain, Wild Magic, Asphyxiate, Metamorphosis, Preparation, Resonance, Regenerate, Anticipation, Rejuvenate
You'll notice that the last 5 abilities have been placed on each of the 3 action bars. That's because these are key abilities and are needed for survival or for just building up adrenaline when you're idling on ability usage.
You will definitely NOT want to use momentum during the fight kiln, so sorry, but it's definitely better to use abilities and use them often (for those who like afking more, although kiln is not really afkable anyways).
The Resonance and Preparation abilities go hand in hand and are very useful. Resonance can heal you, and preparation reduces the cooldown timer of Resonance, so keep that in mind throughout the fight kiln.
The biggest question you may have about this is where food is in this setup and process. In my suggested inventory, I included 1 inventory space for food. This is to be used as a safety measure or to be used or dropped if you need inventory space for crystals. But how come you don't need food for fight kiln anymore? The solution is the Rejuvenate ability, which I have included on all 3 of the suggested action bars. This is an ultimate ability, but it restores 40% of your hitpoints. This means that basically, any time you need to heal up, Rejuvenate can be used. This is why using abilities often is important when doing kiln; it allows you to build up adrenaline quickly and get a full adrenaline bar so that you can heal if necessary. As your adrenaline bar will drain if you are not engaged in combat for a while, it is not a bad idea to use Rejuvenate in between waves as often as possible to heal up if you wish. In addition, if you're already full health or near full health after a wave, saving some of your adrenaline bar to continue with on the next wave to activate threshold abilities or build up to Rejuvenate faster is also a good idea. And if you're wondering, yes, Rejuvenate is enough to keep you alive when fighting even the final boss. It's slightly riskier if you use a magic crystal on the final boss to ensure a fast boss kill, but still definitely manageable.
Crystals
Crystals to Pick up after Waves 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 15, 17, 23, 25, 27, 29, 35
Most important crystals to get (in order of importance): Magic Crystals (at least 1), Invulnerability Crystals (at least 1), Consitution Crystals (Optional but helpful), Ranged Crystal (Optional but helpful)
