In my experience, Mindblades do not flee from lava font.

I only clear Chaos planes + those six Terrorwebs that are in the end. It takes ~35 minutes and nets me 3-7 ectos. I use [skill]lava font[/skill] and [skill]Bed of coals[/skill] to kill cause it's faster than MoR and more energy efficient (even without knockdown).

Dying nightmares will kill you on occasion by dragging aataxe in at the start or in the mountains if they spawn badly. Not alot you can do except know their likely spawn points and try to trigger them when nothing else is about and kill them fast. Always glyph your run skill AND stoneflesh aura as the faster recharge can save your butt in the mountains.

Cupcakes help alot as it is an unremovable speed buff that lets you get away.

Other than that it is just practise and knowing when and where to run to and safe spots to kill them. Aataxe will break off even if you have been rended and have no speed boost if you can make it to safe spots. Also Storm djinn haste can help as it has a lower recharge and cast time.

Watch where they spawn, typically they spawn in similar area's and don't go there with monsters in tow.

Hope it helps, its all really just practise and being aware of your surroundings,

I totally ignore nightmares. They can't hurt you if you use cupcake, you don't need stoneflesh in the mountains, just run.

A small note on the side: I killed all the graspings with 12 in fire magic - I'm assuming you can do it with 15 fire magic too. Just not sure how the graspings will scatter.
Edit: 16 EM and 15 FM works great to kill the graspings.
Posted on page 9.
A small note I see I missed.
When doing this, I'm wearing 1x prismatic insigna, and a 16 armor shield with +5vs physical inscription (giving me a total of +31~32 armor along with OF), I sometimes take 1-5 damage from them horsemens, also note that this never is enough to kill me. (you regen this within a matter of seconds)

i know others have suggested this but it makes the run so so so much easier if you use an essence of celerity. not only is it an irremovable speed boost but it recharges all of your skills faster and lets you cast them faster. they only cost 250g and 25 feathers and 25 dust. that's a total of about 700g depending on prices at merchant and you're almost guaranteed to make it to chaos planes, barring a bad spawn at the entrance to the mountains. after the entrance most of the other behemoths are easily avoidable. it also lasts 30 minutes whereas a cupcake only lasts 10. usually i can complete the full chaos planes clear with just one essence.

just my 2 cents.

A cupcake may last only 10 minutes but you only need it for the run to the planes which takes 4-6 minutes except for blockades. So i bought bought 250 and used bout 60 now and that was 60 runs

This is possible without GoS right? It will just take a little longer? I don't have eye of the north.

thanks

No, you can't keep OF permanently without GOS.
