Solo'ing in GWD

[EmNizzzle]

Hey, guys. I'm back to RS for a bit, and I'm really, really low on cash. I'm sitting on 2m cash, and would like to raise that.

 

I figured with my combat stats (below), I could solo some bosses in GWD for money, so here's my questions:

 

1) Which could I solo? Could I solo them all?

2) Equipment wise, I'm running with Bandos armor, and a chaotic claw and EE for weapons. Is that doable?

3) Will I be okay without having the high prayer and herblore people usually need?

 

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes time to answer!

If you are going to melee I believe General Graardor is the one which is recommended. K'ril Tsutsaroth is best with Mage, Kree'arra is best with Range, and Commander Zilyana is also best to Mage.

These are just guidelines and I'm sure you could melee K'ril or Zilyanna, but I would stick with General Graardor if using melee.

 

Here is some additional information which may be helpful.

I would stick to Graardor for melee. You can definitely kill him even though your Herblore, Prayer, and Summoning are on the lower end, the issue is whether it's going to be profitable enough to be worth it. Since you need to get the killcount each trip, you want to last as many kills as possible, and each of those three things helps you get more. It can be worth it, I just don't know too well because I'm used to having at least some of those thing.

 

However, to try and help, I'll give you a few things that might be useful:

 

Always stay right next to the altar and let them come to you. Bandos armour is weakest to magic, and sometimes the magic sergeant (Steelwill) won't see you when you're against that wall - that should help you take somewhat less damage.

 

Use defensive abilities like Anticipate, since they lower the damage that you take for a short period of time. 

 

In between kills, use Regenerate to get back as much health as you can. It also might be useful to bring a shield and use Rejuventate when you have the opportunity. 

 

Consider the vampyrism aura or Scrimshaw of Vampyrism. They restore health based on how much damage you do - even though they're not as good as Soul Split, they're still a great help.

 

Always use protect from melee when Graardor is alive, then after he's dead, pray against magic and kill Steelwill, pray against melee and kill Strongstack, then kill Grimspike, praying against ranged if you need to. 

 

Abuse the fact that, every 10 minutes, you can pray at the altar so long as they're all dead - it'll only save a bit of prayer potions, but every little bit helps.

 

I hope that some of those help.
