The Leviathan
Combat level 798 · 900 hitpoints
One of the Forgotten Four. A ranged-distance fight against a burrowing sea creature that throws boulders and spawns a lightning-tile minefield. Drops the Venator vestige and Virtus pieces.
Requirements
- Desert Treasure II
- 90+ Ranged strongly recommended
- 70+ Prayer
- Awakened variant: 1157 combat
Pointers
- It cycles Ranged / Magic / Melee attacks and telegraphs each. Flick prayers to match.
- Boulders fall in a line; the safe tile is telegraphed by the shadow. Move before impact.
- It spawns lightning tiles that spread. Keep a mental map of clean ground.
- When it burrows and re-emerges, its next attack is guaranteed to land. Pre-pray.
- It is weak to ranged and stays at distance for most of the fight, so melee rarely gets a window.
What the sim brings here
Every worn slot and every inventory row below is the combat simulation's own output, at the style it ranks fastest for each account tier. Each line carries the channel that chose it: sim means the model solved it, and inherited means the value came through from the hand-authored loadout the solver starts from. Riding through a generator does not make a value derived, so those are marked rather than presented as the model's answer. A line marked unattributed carries a channel the model's own vocabulary no longer declares, so no word is put on it at all rather than one being read off the channel's spelling. Where the model has not answered a row, its own refusal is printed instead; where it has answered a row it doubts, the answer is printed with the doubt attached rather than withheld.

The model doubts this gear (tied with an identical item, so enumeration order decided): the neck slot holds an item the model cannot tell apart from an alternative the search could equally have taken, re-scored identical in this row's own bag. Enumeration order decided it, so the sim had NO REASON; that is not the same as the pick being wrong. SOLVED_GEAR_TIES names them.

The model doubts this gear (tied with an identical item, so enumeration order decided): the body, legs, hands slots each hold an item the model cannot tell apart from an alternative the search could equally have taken, re-scored identical in this row's own bag.

What each of those badges means
- derived:ascent (sim): an accepted coordinate-ascent move: betterThan() preferred this candidate over the incumbent under the row objective and band. The weapon+ammo+shield pairing and the crystal set arrive here too, because both are offered to the same acceptance test.
- derived:cheapestEqual (sim): cheapestOfEquals(): at budget, an exactly-tied cheaper item replaced the one in this slot. It changes the price and, by construction, not the score.
- derived:composed (sim): balanceInventory() sized this row from the derived supply menu. The menu enumerates CONSUMABLES and narrows by style, tier and price; it is not the authored bag.
- derived:seedWeapon (sim): the weapon the ascent BEGAN from, taken off the dps-ranked weapon shortlist, or the forced weapon of a multi-start seed. Never off a start loadout.
- derived:travel (sim): travelPlan(): the way IN, ranked out of the derived transport graph against this account's own unlocks, rather than copied from whatever a human typed. The way OUT is a separate channel (`ruled:escape`) because it is a typed choice, not a ranking.
- ruled:escape (ruled): escapeLeg(): the way OUT, taken from the typed per-tier table ESCAPE_PLAN and judged against the account, with nothing substituted and no fallback ladder. The ACCOUNT CHECK is a derivation; the CHOICE of item is not, so this is not a `derived:` channel. ESCAPE_PLAN carries no attributedTo field (PROVENANCE_BACKLOG: silent-and-unattributed), so this channel does not claim one either.
