A Armadyl item is not necessary for the Armadyl followers(Avansies) are in the opposite side of the dungeon.
Make sure Auto Retaliate is OFF at all times.

Getting There:
Arriving at the God Wars Dungeon is an easy task to any explorer or boss hunter for there are several methods to get there, here are two:
*Note: In order to use “Method 1″ you MUST have a pair of climbing boots

Method 1:

Start by teleporting to Taverley(Games Necklace/House Teleport) and run through the troll infested mountain side until you reach the thrower trolls (Missile prayer is needed). After, find the big snow covered boulder blocking the path to the dungeon and pass it by any of your desirable means. Keep following the path, pass the wolfs and enter God Wars Dungeon.
*Note: Teleport Runes or Chipped House Teleport Tablet May be used on “Method 2″.

Method 2:

Teleport to the Troll Stronghold and run past the thrower trolls (Missile prayer is needed). Find the big snow covered boulder blocking the path to dungeon and pass it by any of your desirable means. Keep following the path, pass the wolfs and enter God Wars Dungeon.

Inside God Wars Dungeon & Kill Count
Once you arrive inside the dungeon quickly turn Protect from missiles and head to the opposite side of the Armadyl followers. Once there you should be beside a broken ice bridge. It is suggested to get a kill count of 20 or more with prayer usage before crossing the ice bridge for once on the other side (Zamorak area) your prayer points will be completely drained. After you have used all your prayer points on as many kills as possible cross the bridge and finish collecting the Kill Count if not done so already. The Required Kill Count is 40 to be able to enter the Boss area. It is also suggested to kill imps or werewolves for Kill Count.

Our Trip To Bandos

August 15, 2011 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters 1 Comment →

Подарък иконаThis trip all started when Crowlion and myself were in our clan (E A I) talking about bossing, and Crow asked me what boss would be a good one to start with, I suggested Bandos. So later that night we went to Bandos with some people from our clan, in a 5 person team including ourselves.

It started out to be a slow trip with hardly any good drops, it was a free for all so we split big drops at the end of the trip. It got to the stage that I was getting most of the little drops from the boss that I felt guilty and was trying not to get the drops by not using my dragon claws or turmoil.

Further on into the trip, I was at about 60 odd kc when Crow got his second boss drop from the trip, which was only a rune plate body so we thought nothing of it, then 5 seconds later when he killed one of the minions he got a Bandos Chestplate which worked out to be 3.5m split each between the group. :)

It is possible to solo Bandos, but can get expensive and risky, if it is your first time I recommend going with at least 1 other person (that you can trust) in case you die so they can bless your grave.

The gear I take to team events like this is pictured below:

This is the inventory I used, keep in mind that I already had a yak out filled with brews and super restores in 3:1 ratio brew to restore.

 

The potions are the following : Black = overloads, Blue = Special Restores, Pink = Super Restores, Yellow = Saradomin Brews. The spare yak pouch is in case you have supplies still on it when it runs out of time so you can renew it, scrolls are for banking loot. The unicorn is used after your yak has died, so you can heal with the scrolls.

I forgot to take a picture of the loot at the end of the trip, but it lasted more then 2 hours. I got 1m odd personal loot (on top of the 3.5m Bandos chestplate split) through ourg bones, rune items, loop/tooth halves.

The hammer is required to get into the Bandos lair, you also need to kill 40 Bandos followers before you can go inside General Graardor’s Lair. Which is fastest by killing the goblins just west of the Zamorak entrance, which is north of the entrance you arrive in when you get into the dungeon.

More guides like this are likely to come in the future, including soloing if requested, thanks for reading. :)

How To Slay Aquanites

March 15, 2011 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters No Comments →

Hey guys, sorry for late guides, I haven’t been doing much slayer since getting 99.

Slayers using Kuradel and wishing to get this task need to unlock it for 50 slayer points in the rewards section.

Here is a picture of what the Aquanites look like.

Aquanites are level 114 combat, they have 1250 life points and give 125 slayer experience each and require 78 slayer to be able to kill them. Magic protection prayer seemed to be inefficient as Aquanites occasionally knock it down. They are weak to stab and ranged, in this guide I will be showing my melee method as I found it to be easier for the task. Aquanites also attack with magic, and are at the end of the slayer cave in relekka.

Below is the gear I use, the weapon is a chaotic rapier for its high stab bonus, you could use chaotic longsword or a whip if you don’t have a chaotic rapier.

 

The cape is ardy cape 4, it is for its stab attack bonus and magic defence bonus of +6.

 

I used karils for the high magic defence, and also because armadyl gives negative stab bonus. The ring is only for teleporting to get a new task, you can use a ring to help kill them faster if you prefer, perhaps a berserker ring would be beneficial for the strength bonus, or onyx ring (i) for the stab bonus.

The inventory below is only a second shot at getting it right, it contains items that help preserve space in the inventory such as herbicide (to get herb experience for herbs drops from kills), bonecrusher ( to get prayer bonus from the big bones dropped per kill), bolt pouch (to hold multi bolts). The various runes are for placeholders for frequent drops, also alch runes for the water and air battle staffs that get dropped. If you can’t use a unicorn stallion, a good alternative would be to use a bunyip with the swallow whole scrolls like with the waterfiend guide, because of the frequent raw food drops.

 

The sword in the bottom left corner is enhanced excalibur for the special attack that heals 400 lifepoints and gives a defence boost.

 

The excalibur was also positioned in that spot for using the special quickly by using the hot key method (f5 and f1). I have tested both overloads and extreme sets, and found extreme sets to be more beneficial because health was an issue with overloads. My healing methods were unicorn> Excalibur >food, as food was for emergencies.

Aquanites drop a variety of herbs (ranging from guam to dwarf weed) and seeds ranging from avantoe to torstol seeds., heaps of rune and addy bolts, hence the need for the bolt pouch that holds up to 250 in each slot. They also drop 10 rune darts frequently. As with most monsters Aquanites drop hard clue scrolls.

The way I set my herbicide potion, was so that none of the herbs were left on the ground and I got 2x the cleaning experience for all of them, to save inventory.

They also are the only monster that drops the ranging amulet, which gives +15 ranging attack, making it the best ranging amulet in game to date, but only at the price of 800k.

Below is the loot I got from 194 Aquanites, please note I didn’t pick up green or gold charms as I have 99 summoning, but from what I  saw they weren’t that common of a drop compared to the blue charm rate.

The noted seaweed and snape grass isn’t an accurate measurement of how much you will get per task, as I started collecting near the end of the task as I had spare inventory spaces, same applies for the air and water runes. The herb seeds I collected were snapdragon, kwuarm, torstol,

Hopefully you found this guide helpful, if you have any confusion about the items I used, or have any comments or suggestions on how I can make this guide better, please comment below. :)

Slaying Ice Warriors With 1 Defence Pures

November 20, 2010 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters 3 Comments →

This guide will show you how to cannon ice warriors for 1 defence pures.

First of all you need to have 50+ mining, or in my case I had 49 but used dwarven stout to get through the tunnel.

Here is the inventory I used, note: this picture was taken about 10 kills into my tasks of 103.

Here is the equipment I used keep in mind this is a 1 defence guide, you can use better if you have higher defence, also the lightness boots can be swapped for climbing if you are 1 defence:

 

Here is the end result of the 103 ice warrior task:

The seeds were snapdragon and lantadyme. I started with 2000 cannonballs, so overall it was a cheap slayer task and gave around 6k experience at the end. They also drop 2-3 mithril and adamant arrows but I didn’t keep them as I needed room for the cannon.

The ice gloves are from the Ice queen in the area, but you can trap here as shown in this picture:

Well that’s it for the guide,  hope it helps, any questions comments or suggestions feel free to comment below. :)

How To Slay Jungle Strykewyrms

March 25, 2010 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters 1 Comment →

Last but not least for the strykewyrm guides is the jungle strykewyrms. These are the lowest out of the three, but not to be taken too easily if you have low defence or hitpoints/constitution.

To get to jungle strykewyrms go north of the mobilising armies area, which can be accessed by using the spirit tree or teleporting there with 10 magic. There is also a bank there incase you need to bank quickly or if you forget something.

Jungle Strykewyrms are level 110, have 110 hitpoints/1100 constitution and they can poison for 40-80 damage, and attack with melee/magic. They require 73+ slayer to get assigned/be able to kill them.

The inventory picture below is different to what I normally take now, you won’t need bunyips if you have high defence/hitpoints as they don’t hit that often. I usually take a pet to raise while I kill these now, (like my new blue/white monkey :) ). Also that is a borrowed saradomin godsword, which you probably won’t need either as I find that the enchanted excalibur is more then enough for healing.

As with most tasks I melee with I take the normal equipment, but for money reasons I can’t afford the best equipment at the moment so modify this to your needs.

As with all strykewyrm tasks it is best to stand near a rock/tree or something to dodge the 300 damage special attack as I mentioned in the other 2 strykewyrm guides. Jungle strykewyrms can drop a variety of herbs and seeds, as well as noted papaya fruits, pure essence, and the rare hexcrest, which I was lucky enough to get one on my first task, but haven’t been able to get one for around 5-10 tasks now.

Here is the loot I got from 106 jungle strykewyrms:

I can’t remember what the seeds were but they can drop snapdragon seeds. As well as alot of helpful stuff as you can see in the picture above.

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. :)

How To Slay Gargoyles

March 19, 2010 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters 3 Comments →

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. :)

Maging Ice Strykewyrms

March 19, 2010 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters 6 Comments →

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. :)

Slaying Desert Strykewyrms

March 19, 2010 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters 2 Comments →

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. :)
