. . . and making me feel as inadequate as the guy I'm trying to encourage -.-

 

 

 

My stats are as follows:

 

 

 

70 Attack

 

65 Defense

 

69 Hitpoints

 

67 Magic

 

57 Prayer - not that it helps at all with this quest

 

66 Ranged

 

66 Strength

 

43 Summoning - again, no help

 

 

 

For an overall combat level of 89.

 

 

 

Any strategies for beating this first monster at my levels? I realize I will have to finish all of the fights in one go but I at least need to get past the first one.

 

 

 

I have used super pots, rune armour, dragon weapon, helm of Nietz, dragon boots, and tuna potatoes for food. Four attempts have had me running for the lectern just before certain death. I've been so busy eating to stay alive I can't say I noticed if I am being meleed, ranged, maged, or all three.

 

 

 

It may be that I need to just wait until my melee stats are higher, but if there is a better way to do it I would appreciate any helpful information.

I did it with 72 attack def and str without much trouble... Just make sure you use super pots and high healing food

Since you have 70 attack a whip would be a good investment to help you. Barrows armor would also make it easier.

70 attack is my highest combat skill with the others hardly what I would call close to that.

 

 

 

Also

Any strategy you recall?

 

 

 

Thanks for the help.

I do have a whip but have been loath to use it as it is my most valuable item at the moment. Maybe I should give it a try. Do you think it would be a big improvement over a dragon weapon in this boss fight?

 

 

 

Can't wear Barrows armour yet. Too bad because I think this would help.

Depends on which dragon weapon, but I'd say that whip is generally an improvement.

 

 

 

Also, if you're using rune armor, your whip is far more valuable and will keep over the armor. At least I think it should, check the "What you lose on death" interface to be sure.

dds specs and whip with super pots and a decent sheild, you can safespot the other i've read somewhere (i just meleed the 1st and seconds and ranged the rest if i remember rightly)

Ok, I will try it with my whip on the next go-round.

 

 

 

I have at least become expert on exiting via the lectern so I'm not quite so worried about losing it now. ;)

 

 

 

a decent sheild

 

 

 

I have an obsidian shield which I also have not used, will try this along with whip, as well.

 

 

 

Thanks!

get your def up to 70, and then use guthan if you can afford. Thats what i did, guthans makes the world a whole lot easier.
