Runescape Tips And Secrets

Since the release of the kill shot ability and the release of Kuradal’s dungeon these have been very easy to kill. I use to skip these quite often because of the need to use rockhammer on them all the time.

Gargoyles are level 111 and give 105 slayer experience each.They also require 75 slayer and a rock hammer in the inventory at all times to kill them.

Here is a picture of one of them:

They are reasonably easy to kill, and can drop rare items such as black mystic top, granite maul and adamant boots.

To get to Kuradal’s dungeon you can use the ferocious ring to teleport next to her, or use the fairy rings to go near the waterfiend area just downstairs from here. If you don’t have access to either of these options, you can go through the waterfall like it is mentioned in the mithril dragon guide by aj 692.

This is the inventory I take, this picture was taken just after using a dose of super set and summoning my bunyip. You could use saradomin godsword for the special instead of the enchanted excalibur if you have one.

I use my basic melee equipment that I use for most tasks, again you would be better off with a dragonfire shield aswell.

Gargoyles drop a decent amount of blue charms probably about 1 in 10 kills on average. As with all monsters in Kuradal’s dungeon they also drop the ferocious ring. They also drop noted pure essence, a variety of runes and as mentioned before the rare drops of granite maul, black mystic robe top and adamant boots.

This is the loot I recieved from killing 182 gargoyles:

That’s pretty much about it for the guide, if you have any questions, suggestions, or if you think I have missed anything in the guide or even just comments about the guide feel free to comment in the box below, happy slaying.

As I mentioned in the post below about Desert Strykewyrms I will continue to do slayer guides until 99 slayer. This one is about Ice Strykewyrms.

Ice Strykewyrms require 93 slayer to kill, as well as having obtained a fire cape or paying the 2k slayer points to do damage to them. They have 300 hitpoints or (3000 constitution). Ice Strykewyrms attack with melee if within range, if not they also attack with magic. As well as that they also do the special attack like I mentioned before in the desert strykewyrm guide.

They are extremely weak against fire spells such as fire surge, below is the highest hit I managed to do with close to maxed magic gear and pots.

The familiar I have there is a Wolpertinger (92 summoning required), I use it because it’s scroll gives +7 magic which is the same as the extreme magic potion but stacks in 1 inventory spot and lasts up to 62 minutes. As you probably noticed, I use deflect magic prayer against these, but protection from magic works just as well.

Here is the inventory I took, yes I know there is way too many prayer potions in there, I realised that after about 10-20 kills because I had no room for loot so banked around 5 as well as the sharks.

I used the fairy rings to get to them, the code for it is DKS then go in the tunnel north of there. The runes are for 1640 fire surge casts.

Below is the equipment I took, you have to have the fire cape equiped to do damage to them unless you paid the 2k slayer points.

The staff of light can be dropped by the Ice Strykewyrms, it has the ability to let you cast a spell without using the runes for it 20% of the time, as well as the special attack that gives you 50% less damage taken from melee attacks for 1 minute.

Here is the loot I got from 140 Ice Strykewyrms:

They dropped rune bars 1 at a time, 200 pure essence. The seeds were kwuarm and toadflax.

That’s pretty much about it for the guide, if you have any questions, suggestions, or if you think I have missed anything in the guide or even just comments about the guide feel free to comment in the box below, happy slaying.

Hey all, I figured since I’m on the home stretch for finishing off slayer (98-99) that I’d finish off as many slayer guides as I can with the tasks I get in the meantime, since it will be doubtful I will slay after 99. First up is Desert Strykewyrms.

Desert Strykewyrms were recently added to the slayer skill a couple months back along with Ice and Jungle Strykewyrms which I will make guides for aswell in the near future. The desert strykewyrms require 77 slayer and are level 130 and also have 120 hitpoints (1200 with new constitution update). They attack with melee and range, and also have a special attack that can cause 300 damage if you can’t afford it in time (they dig under ground, all you have to do is move 2-3 squares away to avoid it, or by standing next to a cacti or a wall for the other strykewyrms).

You can’t kill any strykewyrm without getting them as a task first. As when you try to investigate it like in the picture below they won’t respond.

When you have them as a task they will respond to your investigation and look like the picture below.

To get to the Desert Strykewyrms, walk east from the palace in Al Kharid and jump over the stile, as shown in the map below.

NOTE: this area is classed as desert, so survival gear like waterskins or enchanted water tiara are necessities.

Below is a picture of the inventory I took, you won’t need as many waterskins as I took if you take humidify with you, they also drop 2x (4) waterskins often aswell.

The sword is the enchanted excalibur I use it for the special which gives 200 hitpoints and gives the same defence boost as a normal defence potion. As I mentioned before about the waterskins, you also probably won’t need the sharks, I only took them incase I got hit by the 300 damage special attack for quick healing.

Here is the equipment I took, I use this for most tasks I melee with, although if you are richer then me you can use the dragonfire shield as well instead of the rune defender.

When your waterskins run low use humidify as shown in the picture below:

You need to have the lunar spellbook unlocked to do this, the spell refills all waterskins in your inventory for 1 cast.

The picture below is my loot from a 151 desert strykewyrm task:

The seeds in the picture were 1x toadflax, torstol, snapdragon, maple and 6 cadantines. They drop 120 pure essence each time, 10 yew logs, and rest that is noted is pretty varied. They can also drop the rare Focus Sight which you can attach to your slayer helmet as long as you have a Hexcrest aswell (which is obtainable from Jungle Strykewyrms).

That’s pretty much about it for the guide, if you have any questions, suggestions, or if you think I have missed anything in the guide or even just comments about the guide feel free to comment in the box below, happy slaying.
