The OSRS Leagues 5: Raging Echoes introduces players to a variety of new challenges and mechanics, with the Echo Hespori being one of the standout Farming bosses. Echo Hespori resides in Kourend and requires players to reach level 65 Farming to challenge it. This guide provides everything you need to prepare for and defeat this boss effectively.

Echo Hespori Overview

Echo Hespori builds upon the mechanics of the original Hespori boss but adds unique twists suitable for the fast-paced Leagues gameplay. This encounter emphasizes preparation, prayer switching, and utilizing effective combat strategies. Success begins with obtaining the required echo orb, a key item needed for this fight.

Obtaining the Echo Orb

To face Echo Hespori, you first need the echo orb, which drops from a standard Hespori kill. Follow these steps to obtain it quickly in Leagues:

1. Rush to Level 65 Farming

Farming is essential for planting a Hespori seed, which takes about one real-life day to grow, even in Leagues. To level up efficiently:

  • Utilize the Equilibrium relic, which drastically boosts experience gained from harvesting crops at low-level Farming patches.

  • Plant fast-growing crops like potatoes, onions, and tomatoes early on to capitalize on the relic's bonus XP.

  • Progress to higher-yield patches, such as trees and fruit trees, to maximize XP gains.

2. Plant the Hespori Seed

  • Obtain a Hespori seed, commonly found while harvesting crops or looting seed packs.

  • Plant the seed in the Hespori patch at the Farming Guild in Kourend.

3. Harvest and Defeat Hespori

  • Equip yourself with decent combat stats and food to ensure a smooth kill. If you’re unfamiliar with the fight, refer to a comprehensive Hespori guide to prepare.

  • Upon defeating Hespori, collect the echo orb drop.

Requirements to Fight Echo Hespori

To take on Echo Hespori, ensure you meet the following prerequisites:

1. Farming Level: 65

This is mandatory to plant Hespori seeds and access the boss fight.

2. Combat Requirements:

   o Prayer: Level 40+ to use Protect from Ranged and Protect from Magic effectively.

   o Magic or Ranged:

      • Level 62 Magic with access to Ancient Magicks for AOE spells like Burst.

      • Level 45 Ranged with grey chinchompas for multi-target attacks.

   o Decent melee, ranged, and magic stats if using multiple combat styles.

3. Supplies:

   o Antipoison Potion: Protects against poison damage during the fight.

   o Prayer Potions: Sustain Protect prayers throughout the encounter.

   o Food: Bring high-healing food like sharks or anglerfish to recover health.

Optional but helpful:

  • Tier 6 Mastery: Allows you to use a single combat style effectively against all enemies in the fight.

  • Relics: Select relics that boost combat efficiency and resource management.

Echo Hespori Mechanics

Echo Hespori features several mechanics that require precise prayer switching and awareness of your surroundings:

1. Basic Attacks

   o Hespori primarily uses Ranged attacks. Keep Protect from Ranged active as your default prayer.

   o Occasionally, Hespori will bend its form and charge a Magic attack. When this happens, switch to Protect from Magic until the attack finishes, then revert to Protect from Ranged.

2. Plant Spawns

   o Throughout the fight, plants will bloom in the arena, each protected by a specific prayer.

   o Use the correct combat style to kill them:

      • Plants with Protect from Melee: Target them with AOE attacks like Burst spells or chinchompas.

      • Plants with Protect from Magic or Protect from Ranged: Switch to their respective counters.

   o Plants requiring melee attacks can reset your weapon attack cycle, allowing for efficient 1-tick kills. Treat these like the skull mechanics in Tombs of Amascut (TOA).

3. AOE Projectile Attack

   o Hespori occasionally fires a slow-moving projectile. When it lands, it deals AOE damage to the area.

   o Avoid the damage by repositioning to another side of the arena before the projectile hits.

Strategy for Echo Hespori

Follow this step-by-step strategy to defeat Echo Hespori:

1. Preparation

   o Drink an antipoison potion and any stat-boosting potions (e.g., Super Combat or Magic Potion) before entering the arena.

   o Ensure Protect from Ranged is active as soon as you enter.

2. Positioning and Combat

   o Begin attacking Hespori, positioning yourself on one corner of the boss. This makes it easier to move to another side when avoiding AOE attacks.

   o Monitor Hespori’s animation:

      • Switch to Protect from Magic when it bends and prepares a Magic attack.

      • Revert to Protect from Ranged afterward.

3. Dealing with Plants

   o When plants spawn, prioritize them based on their prayer type and combat style requirements.

   o Use AOE abilities to efficiently clear groups of plants with Protect from Melee.

4. Dodging AOE Projectiles

   o Keep an eye on slow-moving projectiles. Move to a different corner or side of the arena to avoid taking damage when they land.

5. Finishing the Fight

   o Once all mechanics are managed effectively, Hespori will fall quickly. Collect your loot and enjoy your well-earned trumpet!

Tips for Success

  • Resource Management: Balance prayer potion usage carefully to sustain Protect prayers throughout the fight.

  • Master Relics and Mastery: Tier 6 Mastery significantly simplifies the encounter by enabling you to use only one combat style against plants.

  • Practice Prayer Switching: Efficient prayer toggling between Ranged and Magic is key to minimizing damage.
