Corporeal Beast

The Corporeal Beast (also known as the Corp Beast or Corp) is currently the second strongest attackable monster in RuneScape, behind Nex. It was released on 15 September, 2008 with the Summer's End quest, and completion of the quest is required to fight it. On 15 October, 2008, Jagex added a new attack (Stomp), which harms players underneath it. The beast's health bar is three times as long as usual.

The monster resides in a multicombat area which can be accessed using a Games necklace, and has a very high defence and 20,000 Life points, making it challenging to solo. The Corporeal beast will fully restore his life points if all players have left the cave.

Gravestones will not appear within the area. Lost items will become visible to other players after 3.5 minutes and disappear after another minute. It's possible to get back within a minute, especially by choosing to protect the Games necklace.

Habitat
The Beast resides in the caves north of the ruined farms in the Wilderness, in the final room. If players have not completed Summer's End, they will see a caved in version of the cave entrance.

Getting there
The easiest way to get to the Corporeal beast to teleport there using a Games Necklace, using the "Corporeal beast" option and then walk through the caves to the third, final room.

Finding a team
If you need a team to fight the Corporeal beast, you should have a look at the official RuneScape Forums, at the Teamwork section.

Pro teams
The characteristics of a pro team (5-6 players) are (quoted phrases describe the used terms at recruitment posts / the battle): "Bcs?" = "Brew counts?" = "How many Saradomin brews do you have?" "Bc 10" = "Brew count 10" = "I have 10 Saradomin brew(4) remaining." Not a ring of life (anyone who is caught using a Ring of life will often be kicked immediately. This depends on the leader. Some Pro teams that use Coinshare or Lootshare accept a Ring of Life as long as all other equipment requirements are at least matched.)
 * 1) Overload potion ("Ovl")
 * 2) Turmoil prayer ("Turm")
 * 3) Experience
 * 4) Team banking ("Sync banking" = "Synchronous banking", banking together with the team)
 * 5) Brew sharing (sharing Saradomin brews (and super restore potions) with team members).
 * 1) A secondary Special attack weapon: Bandos godsword, Statius's warhammer or a Barrelchest Anchor ("BGS/SWH/ANCHOR")
 * 2) One of the players is the "Stunner", who takes a mithril crossbow, (he/she uses a mithril crossbow instead of a rune or chaotic crossbow because ideally you do not want to kill the core, instead, just stun it.) and uses Leech Defence+Leech magic. When the Dark core appears, (s)he should equip the mithril crossbow, adjust the attack style to "Rapid", and stun it. If the Dark core isn't stunned in 1-2 attempts, the player(s) near the Dark core should run away from the spot. If the core is stunned, one of the team members should stay near it.
 * 3) "No welfare equipment", "Pro gear" (no exceptions):
 * 4) *Helm of neitiznot / Fighter hat / Torva full helm
 * 5) *Amulet of fury
 * 6) *Emerald bolts (e) stunner only
 * 7) *Karil's top / Virtus robe top
 * 8) *Karil's skirt / Virtus robe legs
 * 9) *Steadfast boots > Dragon boots
 * 10) *Zamorakian spear ("ZS") / Vesta's spear ("VS")
 * 11) *Completionist cape > Max cape > Ardougne cloak 4 / Ardougne cloak 3 / Fire cape
 * 12) *RFD "Barrow gloves"
 * 13) *Onyx ring (i), Dragonstone ring (i), Berserker ring (i), Diamond ring (i), Berserker ring, Ring of vigour
 * 1) High Stats (90+ All melee stats.)

FFA/free for all teams
A common style of boss hunting, and thus also used at Corporeal beast. FFA simply implies that no Lootshare is used whatsoever, which means that the player who does the most damage to the beast gets the drop, just like it was before Lootshare came out. This format is popular because it allows an equal chance at a sigil, not affected by Lootshare points. Getting a sigil this way is also 'free' as it does not tax you with a huge drain on your Lootshare points. On the other hand it is also very random and you may never get a sigil as you do not benefit of other people's sigil drops (whereas in LS you would receive Lootshare points).

FFA teams usually allow different equipment than regular/pro teams, as dealing lots of damage is important to get kills, in this case. There are three types of FFA teams:
 * No restrictions: You may bring whatever you wish to increase your chance at doing the most damage and getting a drop. Commonly used equipment involves the Vesta's spear, Void knight equipment (melee) or Bandos armour.
 * Hides only: You are only allowed to use Black dragonhide armour or karil's and the Zamorakian spear. Bandos armour is forbidden along with PvP gear such as Vesta's spear.
 * No PvP: Similar to no restrictions, but no Vesta's spear.

Other teams
"Small" teams have a size of 7-10 players, and often require either Turmoil, or extreme potions.

Another common team setup is called a "Mass". These teams usually have low requirements. If you have decent levels and equipment, you shouldn't join Mass teams, unless you have a high amount of Lootshare points, since mass teams are large in size (a mass with 10+ players is common), resulting in a small chance of loot. A higher amount Lootshare points increases your chance on loot.

Before you want to take part in a team, you should be familiar with the following phrases:
 * HP rule, "Hitpoints rule": Don't enter the Corporeal beast's lair if his lifepoints are below half. Anyone who disregards this rule is called a "Leecher", and will be kicked.
 * "Tank the core": A stunned core should be accompanied by at least one player, to prevent releasing it.
 * Crashing, crashers: Expelling another team to take over the location.

The meaning of other phrases and abbreviations may be available at the Slang dictionary.

Unique drops

 * }

"Uncuts" drop
The "uncuts" drop is an uncommon drop, which is always consisting of an uncut gem and one or more of the following:


 * }

Although the Corporeal beast does not have a reference to the Rare Drop Table, there is an extremely small chance of an "Additional items from the RDT" drop, introduced at the Ring of Wealth update. This drop can only occur in combination with the "Uncuts" drop, and does not necessary require a Ring of Wealth. This drop can even be received through LootShare.

Miscellaneous
''The Ring of wealth does not work when LootShare is activated. The following phrases are only applicable at Solo and FFA.'' A Clue scroll is a main drop, i.e. you cannot get a Clue scroll and Coins. An equipped Ring of wealth will always shine when the Corporeal beast is killed, shining even twice when a Clue scroll is dropped, or if the uncut drop occurs.

Ring of wealth DOES affect the drop rate of all 4 sigils.&nbsp

Trivia

 * During the 9 June 2009 game engine update glitch, players could solo the Corporeal Beast because it would not retaliate using magic. It could, however, stomp players. The only users known to be banned were the ones who revealed their names in posted videos.
 * An update to the ring of wealth on 15 March 2011 caused the effect of the updated Ring of Wealth to stack depending on the amount of clan members with lootshare enabled. This caused the Corporeal Beast, and other bosses regularly hunted by clans, to drop sigils and other rare items at a high frequency. This bug was patched within a hoRoW sigil drop bug.png of its release. Jagex later issued a statement with an apology and revealed that there would be no rollbacks.
 * Random events after death were re-introduced at the Items Kept on Death update. A player will still be able to retrieve their lost items, even if they encounter the Maze random event.
 * There is/was a bug which would trigger the dark energy core indefinitely, flooding the entire cavern with them.
