All you have to do is pray melee when you're putting the set in the animator if somebody is around you because they can drop 3 specs on you before you can turn prayer on, as well as bring a bow and arrows because it is impossible to hit with range in there on NPCs so you can xlog if somebody comes after you.
It is always better to get inside cyclopse room to xlog unless you're already on the animated armour, bring noted food.
