Solo Zamorak GWD Advice


Cheefoo

Recommended Posts

Alo everybuddy. I've recently obtained 95 prayer, and I was planning on actually DOING something with it. I was thinking something at Godwars, because now that I have turmoil, I can actually compete if need be. Bandos sounded good, but I've been hearing terrible things about how utterly impossible it is to find an empty world.

 

My next choice would definitely be Kril'Tsutsoroth: Zamorak's General. However, I haven't been able to find any really up-to-date guides, and I always preferred getting the specifics from you lovely folks at H&A. So let's get right down to it, shall we? First are my stats (for those of you too lazy to click my name to the left and look at the hiscores)...

 

-99 attack

-99 strength

-99 defence

-99 constitution

-96 summoning

-95 prayer

-89 ranged

-99 magic

-92 herblore (I could stew for ovls, but I have yet to do so)

 

...and some of the important items I have available include...

 

-about 10m cash to blow on supplies when needed (donate plsss)

-chaotic rapier

-elite void

-every flavor of Barrows gear

-chaotic crossbow

-over 200k DG tokens to spend

-I DO NOT HAVE THE FOLLOWING: Bandos armor, dragon claws (sold these spiky mittens back because I realized they really aren't that incredible for PvM in general), sigil shields of any kind, chaotic longsword (don't even try to convince me), Armadyl armor, any sort of Nex gear, purple party hat, and pretty much 98.333334% of the items in all of Runescape

 

Lastly, I need to know literally everything there is to know about Zamorak Godwars. I emphasize this not because I crave knowledge (which I totally do), but because I have absolutely none on the matter. Treat me like an idiot. I love that. MMMYEAHHH...

Ok, so start by getting a greaters task for bonus damage, then find someone to lend you claws. Gear should be:

Fsh

Fury

Rapier, Gano top, Ddef

Verac Skirt

Goliaths/Barrows gloves, Dboots, Zerker/Vigour.

Poison Purge aura.

 

About 2:1 brews:rests, and bring a line of spec rest flasks in famil, you can easily manage 1 hour solo trips, and 2 hour duo.

 

For the actual boss:

Melee deflect&Turmoil, poke with rapier, safe past 700lp at all times, his prayer draining attack hurts.

 

Gl, and I might be able to duo with you sometime. :)

Hmm i have the same question really. Had a duo trip in elite void and tanked like a boss, he very rarely made me eat.

 

About to duo in bcp and tassies... I think i still pray melee so im not very confident this is a smart move. On the other hand 68 spec rest doses and claws = zammy wont last long enough to really hit me :P

 

Gonna read this thread after trip. Throw some infomation at us, rs geniuses.

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Just for the record, should you wear melee (bandos) and pray mage? Or mage def (void/gano) and pray melee? They seem similar effectiveness.

Also, rapier or maul? Finding it difficult to tell them apart.

When you say 2:1 brews:rests, I assume you mean for use with overloads? Should I bring a yak with 2:1, or do you mean only ~6 slots of super restores and the rest rocktails or something? Once my yak is out of items, should I summon an iron titan or unicorn? And how worth it is poison purge? I believe it only lasts for 20 minutes or so, would you think penance would be a good alternative?

 

Claws ARE that incredible for PvE unless you class PvE as killing bloodvelds.

 

By "PvM in general" I mean the summation of all PvM, the majority being slayer. I don't think the extra bit of damage against bosses is worth the 12m, especially because I'm pretty strapped for cash at the moment... always.

 

BONUS QUESTION: How crowded is Zammy now? Did the GWD update make him as crowded as Graardor was? How many crashers will I have to deal with?

  • 4 weeks later...

Okay, I FINALLY got a greater demons task (so many black demons; give it a super rest already, Kuradal!) and I'm getting ready. I'm a little nervous, and I don't want to get overloaded overwhelmed and have that claws cause me to make a mistake. If I could get a lackey to be ready to bless my grave, that would really help me be at ease... Well here's what I've been considering. Let's get down to business! LET'S BREW DO THIS!

 

 

kriltootsiepopsetup.png

+30 rocktails or somesuch in yak

-considering using dragon claws over EEE (P.S. borrowing dragon claws)

-considering using (getting) penance over vampyrism

-too cheap for overloads/brews, in fact that's probably the reason I want to make money with this so I can actually afford them

-considering iron titan over unicorn (about 1.3m xp away from steel titan, by the way)

 

Awful, I know. I have no idea how many prayer potions, extreme atk/str potions, or healing items (preferably rocktails or cheaper) I should bring. But is the armor etc. good at least?

I suggest going duo as you will last MUCH longer than you will last solo.

Get someone with better gear to tank(bandos+cks or something) while you take your best str gear with defender. Both take yak with 2:1(maybe 3:1) brew/rest. Take 5 ovl flasks + 5 prayer renewal flasks, a couple anti++, borrow claws, use dreadnips.

Just let the other guy stand between you and the Kril spawn, wait until he attacks then go. Kills will be much faster and after using up all overloads you should still have some supplies in yak. Share food drops with tanker if he needs.

 

I've done that with a friend(i tanked) and it was much more efficient and more enjoyable than soloing.

What if I didn't use overloads?

If you're not tanking, i guess you can use extremes instead of overloads, but you will have to re-pot everytime you brew and you won't be as efficient as with overloads(max boost all the time, except if just brewed).

If i were you i'd make some overloads ;) They're well worth the cost.

wouldnt karils be pretty pointless now? royal dhide is better in everything except slightly magic defence, or gano if you feel you need that much defence

Karil's is quite hugely superior in magic defence. Also, once the EoC comes out, it's going to be far better than royal dhide in everything.

Well, I'm back. I decided to blow lods e mone on overloads, brews and whatnot, and I'm mostly ready to go. But the problem is, I'm kinda afraid to do this on my own!! Like suggested earlier, I would really like to duo this with someone. Here's what my setup is looking like at this point:

 

 

kriltooterorthganoderpi.png

+30 brews in yak I guess

 

If you're interested in helping me out, add me in-game and send me a holler. Be sure to fill me in on all the intricacies of Kril Killin', or Godwars in general, as I've never really killed any of those bosses before.

 

P.S. Seeing as with the recent graphics update Kril now spreads his melee damage between everyone in front of him, would it be best if we both "tanked"? The spread out hits would help keep us from getting KO'd as easily, if my complex calculations hold any truth.

 

P.P.S. Beggar getting told off in the background of my screenshot.

Feel free to add me and pm me if you feel like killing Kril and if i'm not busy i'll gladly come kill a few.

 

Also for shorter trips you can take 1-2 unis instead of yak. Tried steel titan earlier and its hits were so bad that it's definitely not worth it.

 

Maybe replace gano legs with bandos tassets, ranger can still hit a fair share of damage.

I've been doing a bunch of solo Zammy lately (two greater tasks this week), and here's what I've been wearing:

 

15wckd1.png

 

I was using a Ddef before, but tried using the Spectral and found that while kills were slower, I was taking MUCH less damage and was able to stay for about twice as many kills per trip. Penance rocks there (though I don't have poison purge to compare). After killing K'ril I range pray and kill the ranger, then soulsplit the mage and then the melee'er. This usually gets me back to full health. My yak has food in a ratio of 2 food to one brew (I found using this ratio is much better for me than just plain brews). I can last about 15-20 kills per trip depending on food drops from minions (~20 kills/hour). Interesting note: melee prayer now apparently blocks K'ril's poison. The only time I've been poisoned is when I've missed getting protect melee on before he spawned and hit me.

 

One other note - if you don't have dreadnips, GET THEM!!! They help immensely at Zammy. (EDIT: Nvm, just double-checked and saw you had them in your second screenie)
