Yk'Lagor the Thunderous -Melee-

[Shelby_Polo]

 

 

This is a short and simple guide to using the best method for killing Thunderous.

• Cosmic Runes - Gatestone teleport
  
• Rejuvination Potions - Optional
  
• Food
  

 

 

Thunderous' Attacks

 

Melee

This is a simple attack, which Thunderous will swing his arm at you. It can be fully protected by prayer and he will only use it if you, or your entire team, is within his melee distance.

 

Magic

This attack is powerful and will hit through mage prayer. It's advised to avoid this attack; do so by standing either in Thunderous' melee range or hiding behind a pillar. Even walking from behind a pillar to his melee range will allow him to use this attack.

 

 

Tele-Grab

Thunderous will yell "Come closer!" when this happens, run behind a pillar as fast as possible. This is the worst special attack to be caught in because it will grab you, throw you across the room, drain prayer points, heal Thunderous, stun you and disable prayer, allowing Thunderous to melee you.

 

 

Earthquake

Thunderous will yell "This is... TRUE POWER" when this happens, run behind a pillar. Your screen will shake as rifts appear everywhere inside the room. If you get caught in this attack, you will be hit with very high damage.

 

 

 

The Strategy

Upon entering the room, start attacking the mages; there's no need to kill them, distracting them is enough. After four mages are distracted, Thunderous will emerge free and kill the mages. Drop a gatestone next to Thunderous, within his melee range and protect melee. Thunderous will begin attacking you; make sure you/your team never leaves thunderous' melee distance unless he uses a special attack. Doing so will cause him to use his magic attack, which will hit through prayer and damage you badly. As soon as you see text above Thunderous (or hear him yell) run behind the nearest pillar, until the special attack is over. After use gatestone teleport to get back into his melee distance. Without gatestone teleport, Thunderous will use his magic attack upon running back to his melee range. Make sure to make/drop another gatestone after you teleport.

 

Strategy Summery

• Protect melee prayer
  
• Always stay within melee range of Thunderous (aside from hiding behind a pillar)
  
• Always keep a gatestone next to Thunderous, in his melee range
  
• When text appears above Thunderous, or you hear him yell, run behind a pillar
  
• After a special attack teleport back to Thunderous, do not run back
  
• Remember to make/drop a gatestone after teleporting

Why do you run behind the pillar first, and then GGS? Why not GGS straight away?

[Lep]

Nice guide for soloing, but that's all it's good for, sadly. :( The odds of getting your entire team to follow a guide like this are null, and even the odd one that might, people can make mistakes. It's sad how the dung worlds have become populated with noobs since occult came. <_<

[Youmu]

What is Yk'Lagor's weakness? Slash? Crush? :unsure:

 

If it's either, then just forget the spear and substitute it for longsword/maul (if slash/crush).

[Articultural]

Yk'lagor is weak to slash, bedman read the description of the video.

 

Since that vid Yk'lagor has been updated a few times. You no longer have to ggs out of the room then gs back in as you can just gs from behind the pillar -> Yk'lagor's melee range.
