That’s right, the long-awaited Yama Contracts have arrived, and they’re every bit as challenging as we predicted. But difficulty has never stopped us before!

Our elite boosting team has been grinding non-stop since release day in the race for that Oathplate recolour. Through relentless effort and countless attempts, we’ve cracked the code – and now we’re bringing you the ultimate guide to obtaining the Radiant Armour set.

Important Note:
If you haven’t fought regular Yama yet, we strongly recommend checking out our Complete Yama Guide first. These contracts pit you against a supercharged version of the boss with amplified mechanics, you’ll want to master the basics before taking on this greater challenge.

Contract #1: Forfeit Breath (The “Easiest” Trial)

⚠️ Universal Sigil Contract Changes

Before we dive into Forfeit Breath specifically, these changes apply to all Yama Contracts:

• Solo Only, no duo assistance allowed
• Yama’s phase transitions now occur at 75% and 50% health instead of the usual 66% and 33% thresholds.
• Faster Attack Cycles
  • 2 standard attacks → 1 special (instead of 3:1)
  • Glyphs respawn quicker
• Increased Hazards
  • More frequent Shadow Waves & Fire Streaks
  • Yama attacks are 1 tick faster
  • Phase 1 specials land 1 tick faster
  • Judge throws double fire bombs every 3 ticks
  • Phase 3 has intensified Triple Fireballs & Waves

Now, let’s break down your first challenge…

Forfeit Breath Mechanics

This “easiest” contract adds one brutal twist:

• Passive Stamina Drain – Slowly ticks down throughout the fight
• Damage = Extra Drain – Every hit accelerates stamina loss
• 0 Stamina = Death – Collapse when exhausted

Key Strategy:
✔ Treat stamina like your prayer bar – monitor it constantly
✔ Stamina Potions are mandatory (bring 4-5)
✔ Play defensively – unnecessary damage = faster drain

Recommended Setup

Gear:

• Tumeken’s Shadow (Better DPS than Purging Staff, however, P. Staff requires you to do no switches and enables you to focus more on the fight itself.)
• Max Mage (Ancestral/Virtus, Tormented, etc.)
• Saradomin God-Sword toget our Heal back up with the Judge

Contract #2: Glyphic Attenuation (The Prayer Gauntlet)

Brutal New Mechanics

Yama becomes a cruel puzzle of risk/reward management in this contract. Here’s what changes:

Core Modifiers:

• Health Boost: 2875
• Defense Spikes:
  • +80 Crush Defense
  • +666 All Other Defenses (yes, really)

Glyph System Overhaul:

• Protection window slashed from 10 ticks → 2 ticks (must time perfectly)
• Fire Glyph Penalty: 3x damage when absorbing
• Shadow Glyph Penalty: 3x prayer drain
• Prayer Bonus Now Backfires:
  • Increases damage dealt the more prayer bonus you have
  • But…Accelerates prayer drain as well, so your prayer will be drained rapidly

Survival Strategy

1. Prayer Juggling:

• Bring as many prayer pots as you think you’ll need (drain is brutal)

2. Glyph Mastery:

• Treat glyphs like landmines – only step on them the exact tick before specials
• Fire glyphs? Brace for 60+ damage if misused
• Shadow glyphs? Kiss 30+ prayer points goodbye

3. Crush Meta:

• Inquisitor’s armour non-negotiable (bypasses +80 crush def and gives good prayer bonus)
• Off hand-Ely vs Avernic:
  • Elysian: Safety net for mistakes (recommended for learners)
  • Avernic: Higher DPS if you’re confident

💡 Pro Tip for P2:

You can actually skip the meteor damage if you time it right. Here’s how it works:

The moment Yama says his meteor special attack line (“Ven, stella infernus”), you’ve got to:

1. Run 2 tiles back
2. Red X him (Ctrl+click attack while moving)

This weird trick cancels the stun animation, letting you walk 5 tiles away from the impact zone

Melee Setup for This Contract

This is the only contract where we recommend using melee. While all contracts can be completed with melee, magic setups are generally more forgiving for beginners, allowing more room for error.

The Inquisitor’s set is ideal here because it provides:

• Strong crush attack bonuses (to counter Yama’s defenses)
• Solid prayer bonus (crucial for this fight’s mechanics)

For your shield slot:

• Elysian spirit shield (recommended for safety) – can save you from costly mistakes
• Avernic defender (alternative for max DPS) – only use if you’re confident in your mechanics

We could also use the Sunfire Fanatic set combined with an Inquisitor’s helm. This setup provides extra prayer bonus, which increases our damage output but also causes prayer to drain faster.

Contract #3: Sensory Clouding

Brutal New Mechanics

Brace yourself – this is where things get seriously punishing:

Core Changes:

• Relentless Pursuit:
  • Yama never stops chasing you
  • Still pauses briefly for special attacks
• Prayer Penetration:
  • All standard attacks pierce protection prayers
• Ranged Nerf:
  • Weapon attack ranges halved
• Void Flare Danger:
  • Instant KO if they explode

---

Survival Strategy

1. Movement is Life:

• Constant walking to avoid melee hits
• Attack while moving – stand still and you’re dead

2. Phase 3 Gamechanger:

• Scorching Bow Special Attack
  • Roots Yama temporarily (gives breathing room)
  • Use this to:
    • Dodge mechanics
    • Burst down flares
    • Get clean damage windows

3. Critical Tips:

• Death Charge on cooldown (every bit of special energy matters)
• Void Flares = Priority #1 (they will end your run)
• Glyphs are your only protection – use them perfectly

Gear and inventory

Why the Scorching Bow?

I know what you’re thinking, ‘Why bring a bow to a magic fight?’ Here’s the secret: That special attack is your only reprieve from Yama’s constant chasing. Root him, breathe, deal damage, repeat.

️ Contract #4: Divine Severance (The Prayer Flick Gauntlet)

️ Brutal New Rules

Jagex decided to turn prayer flicking into a requirement for this one:

Core Changes:

• Prayer Lockout:
  • Protection prayers auto-disable after 1 tick
  • You must manually re-enable every attack
• Silver Lining:
  • Standard attacks fully blockable (if flicked perfectly)
• Void Flare Hell:
  • Extra spawns after specials (Phases 1-2)
  • 3 flares at once (one with lower HP)
  • Phase 3: New flare every 12 seconds
  • Still instant death if they explode

---

Make-or-Break Strategies

1. The Prayer Flick Dance:

• Tick-perfect flicking = survival
• Good news: Standard attacks actually can be blocked now
• Bad news: You’ll be playing a rhythm game while fighting

2. Flare Skipping Tech:

• Time Yama’s fire/shadow specials to:
  • Match flare explosion timers
  • “Skip” their damage via glyph protection

3. Endurance Mindset:

• This is a marathon, not a sprint
• Expect longer kills (focus on consistency over DPS)

Contract #5: Bloodied Blows (The Ultimate Glass Cannon Challenge)

️ Welcome to Hell Mode

Jagex saved the hardest for last – this contract flips combat fundamentals upside down:

Core Changes:

• Massive Health Pool: 3000 HP
• Wretched Strength Mechanic:
  • Both you and Yama deal increased damage at low HP
  • *1 HP = Max damage (constant 64s with Shadow)*
• Void Flare Overload:
  • 4 spawn at once (2 with reduced health)
• • Much higher resistance to attacks
  • Damage scales with their remaining HP (not instant KO)

High-Risk, High-Reward Strategies

1. The 1 HP Balancing Act:

• Stay at 1hp for max damage on phase 1 and phase 2
• Emergency Healing:
  • Guthix Rests + Snowy Knights (won’t overheal)
  • Moonlight Antelope only for Judge phases
• Stay at 6-15 Hp for phase 3, this will keep you alive and also give you enough damage to one-shot the Void Flares

2. Judge Phase Protocol:

• Fully heal before entering intermission
• “That room-shaking damage WILL kill you at low HP”

💡 Pro Insight

“This contract is like performing heart surgery on yourself while juggling chainsaws. Stay at 1HP for damage? Check. Dodge 4 flares at once? Check. Heal just enough for Judge phases but not too much? Check. It’s brutal, but that first clean kill feels like winning Inferno.”
