None of the raids are safe deaths on Hardcore Worlds (CoX is named as unsafe; ToA and ToB are not on the safe list). Start in the lowest-risk mode, with experienced teams, and with supplies you would consider excessive.

By the end: First completion of all three raids.

Quests in this chapter

Into the Tombs

Requirements for every quest, and where the guide does each one, are on the Hardcore Worlds quest list.

9 steps in this chapter are marked dangerous or high risk. Hardcore safety covers what counts as an unsafe death and the stats to have first.

Raids

Tombs of Amascut — low invocation levelHigh risk

Start with low raid levels (or Into the Tombs completion). Raid level scales difficulty, so you control the risk.

Why: Osmumten's fang, Lightbearer, Masori; the most adjustable raid.

Into the Tombs (miniquest)High risk

Talk to Maisa in Osmumten’s tomb, then complete one full Tombs of Amascut run (raid level 0 is enough) and talk to her in the lobby.

Why: Completes the Necropolis story; a 50,000 XP combat lamp.

Chambers of XericHigh risk

Learner raids with a teaching clan first, then regular raids.

Why: Twisted bow, Dragon hunter crossbow, Ancestral, Dexterous/Arcane prayer scrolls (Rigour/Augury).

Theatre of Blood — Entry modeHigh risk

Entry mode first (reduced difficulty), then normal mode with an experienced team.

Why: Scythe of Vitur, Ghrazi rapier, Sanguinesti staff, Avernic hilt, Justiciar.

Endgame bosses

Fortis ColosseumHigh risk

Wave-based challenge with modifiers; ends with Sol Heredit.

Why: Dizana's quiver, Sunfire fanatic armour.

DT2 bosses (normal, then awakened)High risk

Vardorvis, Duke Sucellus, The Leviathan and The Whisperer.

Why: Virtus, ring vestiges (Ultor/Bellator/Magus/Venator), Soulreaper axe.

NexHigh risk

Mass/team boss in the Ancient Prison (GWD).

Why: Torva, Zaryte crossbow, Nihil horn.

Corrupted GauntletHigh risk

Harder Gauntlet; enhanced crystal weapon seeds.

Why: Bow of Faerdhinen / Blade of Saeldor seeds (also tradeable).

Doom of Mokhaiotl & YamaHigh risk

Recent bosses. B0aty's guide calls Doom "very dangerous for HCIM" and had not yet written up Yama.

Why: Late-game unlocks.
