pop101 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Well I was training at crandor near Elvgre(cant spell) and i was talking to this person that was doing dragon slayer. Well i know for a fact that you can finish dragon slayer with range and melee because ive doen it myself. But is it possible to mage the dragon with a fire shield or not?

utter492 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 if u can find a suitable barrier between the dragon and u, then i think yes not sure if this is correct tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop101 Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 I've always though of the problem that it says it doubles in damage if you use range or mage. But we know that range is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire_skulll300 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 range is possible if u use crossbow and an inv full of swordies but mage i dunno probably if u use dragonfire shield (\/) 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.(O.o) cabbage rools(><) my sig is cool, if you agree put this in your sig. *is too lazy to animate*^the bunny is back! yay!

Guest AshKaYu Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Yeah, I'm pretty sure mage is possible. Why wouldn't it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmottbg Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 The only problem would be if he started melee-ing you. With just a d-fire shield, it would be tough. OoC Overseer Eet mor kabbig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blob Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 yes mage is possible, you can just hide behind the ruins so he cant 'shoot' his fire at you, and mage away. you dont hit very often though, from what ive seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwrm22 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 its possibble... and its a bit easyer then with a crosbow... becuz a crosbow is slow and weak... but its still hard... i needed with my ranger 3x new food (given by a friend)... mage protect helps... and that dragon is the only dragon (with metal dragons) whos have longrange fire... its hard... cuz he can hit mutch 10+ with his fires... ^^ click my sig for my lesser ranging guide ^^jwrm22: 4816th > 99 cooking 100% f2p !1172 total! + 140mil in items.i dont play anymore... i think rs is ruined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Reborn Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 there has been a lot weird stuff going around with the dragon. As far as I know, the dragon attacked with 2X power back in RSC if you maged / ranged him and your prayer was drained as soon as you went into his lair ( I know this because I fought the dragon in RSC 3 years ago at level 40 and died because I maged her :P ) I'm not sure about now in RS2 though. Your best bet is to just go in there with the fire shield (always equip it), bring loads of good food and just whack it. (use prayer and str pot, it helps a bit). Besides, I saw a dude that went in there getting attacked but without recieving damage. He said that if you have auto retaliate on off, then the dragon can't damage you. And also one more thing, players outside the fence can't cast telegrab... Awww... I always watch 10 swordies along with addy or rune helmets dissappear when people die... And I can't telegrab them :cry: Visit my Runescape comedy website, based on in-game screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_sunny Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 lets clear this up: Do NOT use range/mage. For one thing, during range, you cannot equip a dragonfire sheild, you will die in 1-3 hits. Mage is the same. Although you can use a sheild during maging, the dragon will use about 5x power and kill you in 1-3 hits. Melee is the only style to attack this monster. I don't recommend the crossbow unless you want to end up with no swordies left and the dragon at half health. Besides, the crossbow is a very weak weapon. recommended: -full mith armor or better -mith weapon or better -tele runes(just in case) -30 str or 30 attack -30 def -swordies or lobbies(all you can hold) By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blob Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Do NOT use range/mage. For one thing, during range, you cannot equip a dragonfire sheild, you will die in 1-3 hits you hide behind the ruins in his 'lair'; there are plenty of places you can shoot him from where he cant 'shoot' back, so effectively you could do it with no food at all (although thats just plain stupid...)

Silverchipmunk Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 All non-metal dragons are very resistant to mage attacks. After all, they have dragonhide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSamus Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 When i killed Elvarg, it was pretty weird he was near the gate and when i came in he kept breathing fire but i never got damage it was like i was invincible but theni decided to attack him and he started doin damage to me the way i beat him was like this: -i attacked him and when he did alot of damege i ran in the corner and healed then i kept doin this till he was dead P.S. :ONLY FOR MELEE Woot!

Silverchipmunk Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 when i tried mage on him i just keep getting 0 hits lolz then ur mage lvl must really be low No like I said, dragonhide = high resistance to magic.

Unitedite Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Well i did Dragon Slayer when my defence got to 40 so i could wear full rune. I know for sure that my att and str were nowhere near this - probably nearer 20 each, so I couldn't melee it. I maged it with no problems at all. Talk to the duke in lumby for a sheild In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothesI bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal doseI offered up my innocence, I got repaid with scorn"Come in'', she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznmidget448 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I bet it is possible to beat him with mage. You just need a good defense and a good mage level. Just make sure you have enough runes, teles, and definately the shield. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. It might be hard, but it should be possible.

Doomster Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 If you still can't get the shield... 1. Make sure you ask Oziach about it, maybe the Duke only gives it to you once you've been told he does (Runescape has a tendency to be rather too linear like that). 2. If it's still no, then get all the map pieces, combine then talk to ned. Another thing, check your bank thoroughly, if you picked one up, and have it lurking there, then the Duke will not give you another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godsfearme Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Do you people think that I should raise prayer to protect before i go to fight her. 41attck,47 strenght, 40 defence, 44 life. I only need like 2k b bones to get 43 prayer. I will shoot down any one with my bitting wit, and sarcasm!What POSSIBLE reason would someone have to make a fake like that?Does he profit from faking a picture like that? Does it help him at all?Jesus Christ, stop being so suspicious. This is Tip.it for God's sake, not RuneHQ. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar3019 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I believe it is possible (though I have never tried it). I would imagine that mage is a good deal harder than melee or ranged, but I suppose with a decent magic lvl, killing Elvarg would indeed be possible. perfect grammar is one thing, typing like a drugged monkey and enjoying it is anotherAMEN!
