dark beast guide/advise?

[Bellatrix]

hi,

 

 

 

I got slayer to 87, and i want to use wild pies to kill some dark beasts for the first time.

 

Some questions i have:

 

 

 

1. Its written that dark beasts use magic and melee. which of those attack are more dangerous so it would be better to use prayer against, if any?

 

 

 

2. what is their max hit with melee and magic?

 

 

 

3. another usefull tips for slaying them quickly?

 

 

 

thanks for reading and replying :-)

I have only lvl 61 slayer, but I can tell you that the best way to kill them is to use protect from melee prayer.

I use protect from melee. If you're a really high level you can fight them with nothing but guthans, but it's slow going.

 

 

 

2. what is their max hit with melee and magic?

 

 

 

Not sure, about 12 or something.

A cannon is great help. Supersets for sure.

 

 

 

Other notes... you must have started Mournings End Part 2. You must have the full mourner set and be wearing only this on entry to the mourner house (you can wear a ring though). Take some good food anyway, 5-6 sharks as even with protect from melee, they sometimes cast a mage attack on you anyway, if you're not directly beside them.

Thanks for the advise :-)

 

 

 

Ok, I went down there and killed a few, and here are my conclusion.

 

 

 

1. Dark beasts will use melee 95% of the time, the magic attack is quite rare.

 

 

 

2. Ive been hitted 16-17 max with melee, and as for magic - i think I was hitted 12 once, but im not sure what is the max there.

 

 

 

3. With 99 def, guthan and dragonfire shield, their melee attacks didnt hit that often, but non the less - they do hit from time to time, and sometimes very hard. some times i got 3 hits in a row, like 16-15-13 or so, though i used a super def potion.

 

With the limitation of carried food (due to mourner set you must wear), that can be a problem that will shorten the trip, and can make any lagging deadly.

 

 

 

4. my conclusion is that the best setting is prostelyte white armor + anti melee prayer + some food for the magic attacks (not half as bad as the mithril or brutal green dragon ones).

 

If you need (like i do) wild pies to get slayer lv to 90, they can use also as food in that case.

 

 

 

Thanks again for replying

They will use melee only if you stand next to them, if you try to safespot them they will use magic.

 

2. what is their max hit with melee and magic?

 

idk

use high prayer bonus armour
