Wintertodt Gear Setup

Warm clothing is vital when at Wintertodt to reduce the amount of damage taken from the cold. When you receive pieces of the Pyromancer outfit you can replace existing items with it.

Inventory Setup

• Your best useable axe
• A tinderbox to relight braziers
• A hammer to repair braziers
• Rejuvenation potions (1 or 2 at start of round) to heal the Pyromancers
• A knife to fletch roots (optional)
• Food

Food

Damages scales dependant on the Hitpoints level and Firemaking level of your character when playing Wintertodt. High to mid level players with high hitpoints should bring high tier food such as 5-7 sharks per game. If soloing on private worlds, then it is advised to bring saradomin brews as they allow multiple sips, healing a much large amount of total hp. Players with very low hitpoints of around 10-20 should bring around 2 Cakes when in mass worlds. These are very good food for low levels as they allow multiple bites.

Players may wish to replace the necklace slot with a phoneix necklace or activate the redemption prayer to restore low health. Hitpoints cape and regen bracelets can also be beneficial to passively restore hitpoints at a faster rate.

Wintertodts Attacks

During the fight the Wintertodt rotates between three types of attacks:

• Standard attack – Periodic and random damage. Usually every 10-20 seconds, but can land multiple times, rapidly in a row. Frequency of attack is lower if braziers are all maintained adequately.
• Brazier attack – Snow falls onto the braziers and destroys them. If you are standing next to the brazier you will take damage. You can move out of the way when you see the snowflakes hovering above the brazier.
• AoE attack – Snow can fall randomly in a 3×3 space. Mechanics to avoid this are the same as the brazier attack, if you see clusters of snowflakes above your location, move away from them.

How to kill the Wintertodt?

1. Start by chopping the Bruma tree.
2. When your inventory is full of roots, add them to the brazier immediately if your goal is firemaking experience. If you want more points per round then first fletch them with you knife and then add.
3. If the brazier is destroyed at any point, repair it with your hammer.
4. If you are damaged by the Wintertodt while adding roots or kindling to the brazier you will need to click the brazier or you character will be stalled.
5. When you run out of bruma roots or kindling, repeat the cycle until the Wintertodt has been subdued.
