   Strategies and Tips:

• Understanding the Fight Phases:
• TzKal-Zuk has multiple phases that require different strategies.
• Phase 1-3: Use Ranged attacks primarily, switching to Magic (Blood Barrage for healing and Ice Barrage to freeze healers).
• Phase 4 (Zuk): Focus on dealing damage while managing the pillars and healers. 
• Pillar Management:
  • Learn the order in which the pillars collapse (1, 3, 5, 2, 4).
  • Position yourself strategically to avoid damage from collapsing pillars.

• Healer Management:

  • As Zuk spawns, kill the healers quickly to prevent Zuk from healing.
  • Use Ice Barrage to freeze the healers if they are too spread out.

• Positioning and Movement:

  • Always be aware of your positioning relative to the pillars and TzKal-Zuk.
  • Move efficiently to avoid unnecessary damage and to manage healers effectively.

• Prayer Flicking:

  • Master the art of prayer flicking to conserve Prayer points.
  • Use it effectively during Zuk’s attacks to mitigate damage.

• Patience and Practice:

  • The Inferno is a challenge of endurance and skill. Don’t rush; take your time to strategize each phase.
  • Practice each phase individually until you’re comfortable with the mechanics before attempting a full run.

• Stay Calm:

  • It’s easy to get overwhelmed, especially during the final phase. Stay calm, focus on your strategy, and execute it methodically.
