Boss Overview

Sol Heredit is one of Apex's most challenging solo encounters, rewarding players who master movement, timing, and mechanical awareness rather than relying solely on powerful equipment. Every mistake can quickly add up, making consistency far more important than rushing the fight.

The encounter features several unique mechanics that must be learned throughout the battle. Players should always focus on avoiding avoidable damage before maximizing DPS.

Requirements

Although there are no strict requirements, the following are strongly recommended:

High combat stats
End-game melee equipment
Strong healing supplies
High-tier prayers unlocked
Experience with late-game PvM encounters

Recommended Stats

Attack: 99

Strength: 99

Defence: 99

Hitpoints: 99

Prayer: 99

Magic: 99

Ranged: 99

Maxed combat statistics are highly recommended for a smoother encounter.

Recommended Gear

The stronger your equipment, the shorter each phase becomes.

Recommended priorities include:

Best available melee weapon
High strength bonus
Strong defensive armour
Damage-boosting accessories
Prayer bonus where possible

Players with lower-tier gear can still complete the encounter but should expect significantly longer fights.

Inventory Setup

A balanced inventory generally works best.

Recommended supplies include:

Super Combat Potion
Prayer Potions
Saradomin Brews
Super Restores
High healing food
Teleport option (if applicable)

Adjust your inventory depending on your confidence with the encounter.

Helpful Perks

If available on Apex, consider using perks that provide:

Increased damage
Damage reduction
Prayer conservation
Healing bonuses
Defensive effects

Every small advantage becomes valuable during longer attempts.

Entering the Encounter

Before beginning:

Restore all stats.
Activate your preferred offensive prayers.
Ensure your inventory is organized.
Double-check equipment.
Prepare for immediate mechanics after the fight begins.

Entering fully prepared greatly improves your success rate.

Fight Mechanics

Sol Heredit relies heavily on player awareness.

Throughout the encounter you should:

Watch boss animations carefully.
Move quickly when dangerous attacks appear.
Avoid standing still unnecessarily.
Maintain offensive pressure whenever it is safe.
Heal during quieter moments instead of panicking.

Learning the attack patterns is significantly more valuable than attempting to out-heal incoming damage.

Phase Strategy

Opening Phase

Begin with offensive prayers active and focus on establishing consistent damage while learning the boss's attack rhythm.

Avoid unnecessary movement until mechanics require repositioning.

Mid Fight

As mechanics begin stacking together, movement becomes increasingly important.

Prioritize survival over damage whenever multiple mechanics overlap.

Recover between attacks whenever possible.

Final Phase

The final stage is usually the most demanding.

Expect increased pressure and more frequent mechanics.

Stay calm, avoid rushing attacks, and continue reacting correctly.

Most failed attempts happen because players panic rather than because of insufficient damage.

Special Mechanics

Unlike many bosses, Sol Heredit heavily rewards positioning and awareness. Learning each mechanic will drastically reduce incoming damage and make kills far more consistent.

☀ Sun Beam

Throughout the fight, Sol Heredit will occasionally target your current position with a beam of sunlight.

When you see the indicator beneath your character:

Immediately move at least one tile away.
After the beam lands, the impacted tile becomes unstable.
Standing on these damaged tiles will cause continuous damage until you move away.

Never remain on cracked ground unless absolutely necessary.

⚔ Prayer Disruption

One of Sol Heredit's signature attacks temporarily removes your active overhead prayers.

When this attack occurs:

Reactivate your prayers immediately.
Keeping Quick Prayers configured allows you to restore protection almost instantly.
Delaying even a few ticks can result in significant damage.

Staying alert to this mechanic is one of the biggest factors separating consistent kills from failed attempts.

✨ Solar Rays

Around the outside of the arena are ancient solar prisms.

During the encounter these prisms periodically fire powerful rays of light across the arena.

Avoid standing in their path at all costs.

These attacks deal extremely heavy damage and can quickly end an otherwise successful run if ignored.

Always keep an eye on the edges of the arena while maintaining DPS.

📍 Positioning

Good positioning makes the encounter significantly easier.

General recommendations:

Avoid unnecessary movement.
Watch your surroundings before attacking.
Reposition immediately after mechanics.
Don't allow damaged floor tiles to trap your movement.

Remaining calm and planning your next movement is far safer than reacting at the last possible moment.

⚡ Priority Order

When multiple mechanics overlap, prioritize them in this order:

Avoid Solar Rays.
Move off Sun Beam indicators.
Reactivate prayers if they are disabled.
Continue dealing damage whenever it is safe.

Remember: surviving the mechanics is always more important than maximizing damage. Consistent kills will naturally become faster as you become more comfortable with the encounter.

Tips & Tricks

Learn mechanics before chasing faster kill times.
Keep your camera positioned for maximum visibility.
Don't waste supplies early.
Eat during safe moments instead of while attacking.
Missing a few attacks is better than taking unnecessary damage.
Consistency will always outperform greed.
