Question about Dragon slayer quest

[Dukc]

I have a full map of Crandor and soon I am ready to sail to it. But a question: what should i imporve on myself before picking a fight against Elvarg? I am ready to take a risk to lose these items, do not care about them, but i am not a member.

Combat level: 48

 

Attack: 41

 

Defense: 41

 

Strenght: 35

Equipment

 

 

 

Adamantite full helmet

 

Adamantite platepody

 

Runite plateskirt

 

Runite mace

 

Leather Gloves

 

Anti-dragonfire shield

 

Blessed holy symbol

 

 

 

Inventory

 

 

 

Strenght potion (4 doses)

 

Lobsters X25-26 (also swordfishes are avaible if necessary)

 

 

 

I have slayed him now, but please answer my question (originally this was a guestion, but now just discuss it)

 

 

 

If you ask me, you can do it at level 50, but you may need to refill your supply and also carry a risk with you. On safe side, I suggest all three primary melee skills at least 46

[Maxx91]

I think, even with your low magic lvl, maging is the best way to do it.

 

There's a safespot in the room, where he can only hit you with fire breath.

 

Wield a staff and your anti-fire shield, use the best spell you can and take

 

some lobs.

 

 

 

You will be just fine.

[Guest Kickpointy]

Rune Mace won't do it. You need to melee him with a rune scimmy

[Brollygerman]

if u have rune scimi you make it easy...(i made with full addy and a rune scimi at 40/40/40...)

 

 

 

 

 

use the str atk with rune scimi, a str potion and make str prayer

[Dukc]

Hmm... i have read things and they say that dragon is not weak against magic. And rune mace is my primary weapon, and can be buyed with half of scimitar's price. But i will use stab attack, and if it seems to be near but not in reach, ill try a slashing weapon. However, continue posting! i will almost certainly check this theard sometimes, and be free with ideas!

[Brollygerman]

str atk is much better when using str potion and str prayer

[Dukc]

Both of them are no problem, and with them i have pummeled 9 hp from scorpion with runite mace.

[nerdattack16]

I did it just fine with stats and items almost exactly like yours.

 

 

 

I strongly suggest that you buy a rune longsword or scimitar, however, as they are faster and stronger. They're not too expensive either, with the longsword at around 20-25K and the scimitar at about 25-28K.

 

 

 

I also suggest picking up an amulet of strength, power, or even defense, but it's not totally necessary.

I killed elvarg at only lvl 40 combat with full addy and a rune skimmie... You should have no problem...

[Dukc]

Continue posting, Continue posting! it is an advantage to me, and perhaps to somebody other also! I think that i use rune mace still, as it is still powerful enough, and at least very accurate. Post ideas more, come on! I will experince with how to kill Elvarg with runite mace, and if I fail, I'll try runite slashing arms. And i will notify there what the runite mace tasted like, as someone other may have same guestion. But should i sacrifice a lot of attack accuracy by using stab attack style? Lesser demon was'nt a real problem when i used silverlight, but it was quite hard to hit him.

[Master_Smither]

I realy would get 40-45 in each str ,att and def

 

 

 

I hear all these ppl do it at 40 and such but i takes them liek 3 full loads of lobs whihc is a waste when you need to get combat stats up anyway. I would use a rune scimmy myself because i love them also i had full rune no pl8 at the time :o. Well addy should work but i suggest rune scimmy but mace is good too. Would you rathar spend time killing the dragon after 30 minutes and then train your stats or killing it for 5 minutes and have already trained your stats.

 

 

 

If you intend to be high combat than you are now i suggest gaining those lvls to 45+ then going to kill dragon with 1 trip of food.

 

 

 

Plz use my way it's alot better if you intend on rasing ur stats anyway.

[Dukc]

I am going to kill it with one trip. about stats, i have managed to increase them alredy. Strenght is right now 37, and combat level 49. Also defense is increasing. But the guestion: Should i crush or stab with my mace?

 

 

 

Remember, continue posting!

[Dukc]

:thumbsup: I DID IT!!! I killed Elvarg the dragon with runite mace! What a scary beast! Brrr! I almost made it with one trip (with swordwishes it could be even done with one trip).

 

 

 

Continue Posting!

[thiralion]

i don't remember what were my stats, but i know i didn't kill the dragon because i ran out of food so had to hide...

 

 

 

Then another player trying to beat the dragon finished the work and when done i got the message i completed the quest ???!!! since i did 2/3 of damage it seems quite normal but i don't know what happened to that other guy =/

 

 

 

i can't assure it still works that way now but i know i still haven't killed a dragon up to now =D

[Dukc]

If you do not manage to kill him (to someone other with same problems), travel trough dungeon to karamja, and refill your supply ther, and get back as quickly as possible. I almost managed with one trip at lvl 50, but i did resupply to decrease the risks of death. On that way, if someone uses a mace like i did, then use attacking style, do not sacrifice your attack bonus by stabbing, it will hit very seldomly.

[Greyace]

i did that quest when i were lvl 32cb, you just need rune scimitar.

 

and lobsters will do the job

[Dukc]

Wow! You had to be BOTH lucky and careful! how many trips it took? Even with my level whitch was 18 higher and my heavy armor I had some problems, but it could be because the breath did great damage against my low magic level.

No, it was your rune mace. Horrible [wagon] weapon :shame:

[Dukc]

Perhaps, crush may not be very good against dragons. but it is not a *Bleep* weapon. in some situations, it is great due it's accuracy. Even a bad weapon works better than fist, and it was made from runite. I bet that it does better than adamantite mace.

[klankaos]

I had no problem at all doing it at 40/50/30 with a rune scimtar and full addy. So I don't think you should have much trouble - just remember your shield.

[Dukc]

True... Except i have already done it... but feel free for future discussions, perhaps there is somebody who has same question... slashing weapon is best option against it, but with good armor (and defense), it is possible to do it with runite mace as well. (On that way, should I stop using using mace as primary weapon, and instead pick a warhammer? please do not remind me about swords, i am going to use mace OR warhammer)

[JamieMcMe]

I would suggest the mace, as it's quicker, (longsword speed) and well, just use it ok? lol

 

 

 

If you are P2P, you could do heroes and get the Almighty Dragon Mace! If you have 60 attack....

[Dukc]

It is true, mace is much better as primary weapon, accurater, quicker, and can use controlled, stab, and offers an prayer bonus. But someone calls runite mace "horrible *bleep* weapon". It does not do very great damace (but still enough). Warhammer would do more damace as a heavy weapon, and it keeps the mace's ability to crush trough metal plates. a weapon with combined damace of scimitar, and anti-armor ability of mace sounds good, but speed may be a little problem. Also, mace is simply too light for primary weapon, but it is more handy. Post more!

[Kingtygy]

:| I dont see what the big deal is with the rune scimitar, i prefer a good old longsword (yeah, this really has nothing to do with the dragon slayer quest)

[Mountdoom77]

Get your strength to 40 atleast and use a rune scimmy.
