n1nja Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 ok...im a f2p ranger, and i need a way to fight the dragon in dragonslayer. all my friends say that you cant tell when the dragon is about to use it's fire attack, so i cant know when to equip the antidragon shield. -stats- 1 attack, 1 str, 30 def, 46hp, 56 range, 1 mage, 23 prayer also...are there any safespots in the place where the dragon is?

oliboli1992 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 you could use acrossbow, with bronze bolts but that will be a very slow way but it allows you to wield a anti dragon shield.. [spoiler=Sig] I like to think of the Dark Bow like a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) - you get one shot and then you're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacoste Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Good luck trying to range it, it will only take you 6 HOURS! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Don't even bother doing it as a ranger, you will just get yourself killed. As you only can hit two on it, by the time you get it down to 50 hit points you would have run out of food. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity.

mrrogers Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 i actually did dragon slayer with range at only 45 range. bronze bolts arent that slow, so it shouldnt be too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can range Elvarg, you're only options are to raise your magic or lose your status as a pure and get up your Attack, Strength and Defence.

Theoknight2 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 do it with a bronze cbow. I did it on my pure, and its just as fast as with a bow. With it at 52 range, I was hitting 5+ on it every hit with rapid. Its not that hard to do with range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatisup618 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 MAYBE, JUST MAYBE you could go in there before the actual fight with a bow and a couple bronze arrows and see if there are any safe spots. If not the bronze crossbow and bronze bolts would be your best bat. Proud Owner Of A Quest Cape As Of 4/29/08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomyth105 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 i have a solution! when ppl r saying u can level mage... u should. however this will not cost u any combat level. just either splash something all the time and do curse spells etc. wear full iron and splash the zammy monk under varrock castle stairs. :thumbsup: no hp levels gained and it is no combat level boosts. it works!

DUELMASTER30 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 yeah, as everyone else said you should either get mage up or kill it with a crossbow and bronze bolts. I really miss the pre-2005 days when I did it when you could range over the ruins and she couldn't hit you...

hihe Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 you'll have two methods to kill the dragon through range attack in free world. 1.use the crossbow then you may also use the shield to prevent dragon fire pros' it can keep you safe crossbow bolts in free world are cheap crossbow bolts are more cost-effective than arrows you can even use protect from melle to have better defence cons' you'll find that using a crossbow is much slower compare to a bows rapid attack bronze bolts are compareable weaker than adam arrows 2.(not recommand) use normal bows while protect from magic on pros' you can enjoy the speed and the power of addy arrows cons good arrows are rather expensive(means you'll lost more if you die) protect from magic CAN'T offer wonder effect(and the prayer point matter makes this even worse) you need to face two kinds of strong attack at the same time(the dragon still can treat your hide armour as paper!) Conclution use crossbow if you dosent have really good food and "uber" hitpoints in f2p.if you all defence,ranged and hitpoints,you can try the bow method and make a myth in runescape!

n1nja Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 so, what is the highest the dragon can hit on you with it's fire attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippymister Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I did it with about the same stats as you with range, using crossbow and bronze bolts and I was fine. I didn't even use that much food. :ohnoes:My Guide on Obby Mauling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
