braves attempted guide to fighting Goraks

[leebrave]

Introduction:- I love Goraks for their drops mostly but also the good experience. In this guide (im not very good at these) I will be showing you what you get as drops as telling you what you can and can't do

 

 

 

Firstly to even fight Goraks you need to have started Fairy tale part 2 quest, it isn't long.

 

 

 

 

 

The Gorak

 

 

 

 

 

 

Goraks are encountered during the A Fairy Tale Part II quest, they drop Gorak claws which you can use to make Magic essence potions, these potions give +3 magic. You can fight the Goraks again even after the quest. They are popular for players who want to make the potion.

 

 

 

I fight these alot but not for the claws - I fight them for the big bones, the large amount of gems and the best thing of all Half Keys, they drop an insane amount of half keys.

 

 

 

How to kill Goraks

 

 

 

Location

 

Code DIR in Fairy rings network.

 

 

 

Strengths and weaknesses

 

 

 

A fast hitting weapon is a must I use Whip or Skimmy, any other weapon can be a time waster no matter how high it hits, they can hit you twice with 9-13 each time.

 

 

 

You cannot use prayer protect for starters so your in for a tough fight, they rarely hit above 12 but do hit regularly. Every hit they make will drain one stat point from a random skill, Ive noticed it doesn't effect you Attack,Strength or Defence skills that much, but its always handy to bring 1 stat restore with you ( you wont last long enough to use 2)

 

 

 

Oh and dont bother bringing a Ring of Recoil it wont work hardly

 

 

 

One useful thing is that when you arrive in their lair via the rings they wont attack you, you can Range or Mage them for a good while until one gets to you, obviously take Telegrab runes if you do this.

 

 

 

There is a blind spot ive been told about but I can't find it, aparently its over by the cloud entrance, no you cant do anything in there its basically a very useful safe spot.

 

 

 

Any type of attack works just as good as the other they are weak to all attacks and have no special defences.

 

 

 

The best way to fight these is to go in groups of 3 or more as it makes them go (in my words) mental you can easily get a good few hits before they stop concentrating on one of your team mates and attack you.

 

 

 

Gorak Stats

 

 

 

Combat level 145

 

Hitpoints 115

 

Experience 620

 

Aggressive Yes

 

Poisonous you can poison them but it doesn't seem to last long

 

Always drops Big Bones

 

It is a slayer task monster

 

 

 

Drops based on my experience

 

 

 

100% drop: Big Bones

 

Gorak claw roughly every 4 kills

 

Coins up to 132 very rare

 

Herb very rare

 

Gems average every 3 kills

 

Half keys no average it varies but happens alot E.G. 3 days and i have 30 half keys

 

Rune javelins

 

Iron Halberd

 

 

 

 

If someone could post the safe spot details that would be great

 

 

 

 

 

Alot of people will be put off after reading this and thinking its a waste of time but I can assure you it isn't if you like Gems and Half Keys not to mention the good experience

 

 

 

Hope this helps and sorry for the lame guide, feel free to make a better one :)

What are your stats? Would you reccomend guthans?

[leebrave]

I'm lvl 111 combat

 

 

 

Never seen anyone use guthans so i can't say, they are tough and u do use alot of food

 

 

 

On a good note ever since my initial post im on 34 half keys now :)

There ya go :mrgreen:

 

 

 

This safe spot works for the northern most point, all you do is trap the ghorak so that he is behind the stalagtites. However, on occassion, a ghorak from the fairy ring will come near you, so just go into the cloud bank and he will go away, you don't even have to go far.

 

 

 

Plus, I've found more gems = more half keys = left half faster 8-)

 

 

 

And if you use this, please atleast credit me

Nice one thanks

In my experience, they drop rune chains too, very rare though. Also, I tried using Guthans, it's not a good idea, they can get lucky and hit high often, and since you can't protect against them with prayer, if you get down to low health you really need to leave.
