Killing Killerwatts - A guide

 

 

 

 

 

 

First off, why kill Killerwatts? The main reason of course is for Slayer, but they also have some unique, fun drops along with a good supply of Herbs and Nature Runes. It is also one of the least crowded spots because no one bothers training there.

 

 

 

How to get there Killerwatts are located on the third floor of Draynor Manor. Go through the Interdimensional rift to get there. If you don't like all the weird lights and stuff, put it on Low Detail.

 

 

 

Setup - Killerwatts are tricky because they use a combination of Melee and Range attacks. However, since they are electrical, you must use Slayer Boots at all time. Also, any type of Metal armor is a very bad idea. Instead, going with some sort of Range armor might be the best. (Other things like Granite might work, I dunno) There are two good ways of killing them, Melee and Range.

 

 

 

My Melee set up -

 

 

 

 

 

 

Essentialy you're going for the best melee and range defence while using the least amount of metal armor that you can. I would suggest bringing a lot of food and a super set if you can, since D hide isn't the best defence.

 

 

 

Range set up -

 

 

 

 

 

 

Karils has a better range defence than Black D hide, so it is a better choice. You can use a Crystal Bow or just a regular bow with arrows if you wish. Your inventory is pretty much the same, just full of food, you can bring a range or Super Defence pot if you want.

 

 

 

The best semi-safespot I've found is this little peninsula, it has 3 good spots to range from. Only the range attack will hit you this way, and not the melee one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's tough to really locate it on the map, but it's about right here. (I'm the white dot, the Large White square is the rift that you enter from)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Picture using the "safespot" -

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that's how you kill Killerwatts. With enough food you should be able to complete your Slayer task in one trip. Happy Hunting!

 

 

 

 

 

(Please add suggestions for how to make this guide better. I'm not a pro guide maker. :wink: )

Good, maybe a few more tactics, though? :o

Good guide.. but my advice would be

 

 

 

DONT FIGHT THEM! :twisted:

Trojann, I think Killerwatts are pretty much tactic proof...not much you can do better...you can Guthan then somewhat, if you put on Range prayer while you Guthan them that works pretty well.

 

 

 

You make me sad Taito. :(

Yea you need to put in more tips. Maybe put a screenshot of the range safe spot. But it is a good guide.

I've got a screenshot of me using the safespot, if that's what you mean Xbow. I'll put it up. There aren't any spots that are technically completely safe though.

Whoops, sorry for the double post. :wall: :wall:

 

 

 

Essentially I could've made a post that said not to use Metal armor as it wouldn't have worked as well, but I decided to make a guide out of it instead. So just use that piece of info.

Hey... sometimes you get them for slayer and have to. Also, they have some interesting drops.

Ehh no black mask while meleeing slayer assignments? new strat or something? And why no row? Row gives u more chance for items like half keys.

awesome guide. i dont like killerwatts, but then again, the one task i had them, i was using rune armor, ill try hides next time and use a bow with the safe spot. :wink:

 

 

 

edit: as for a suggestion, maybe add a part telling what level the killerwatts are and what they drop.

I think you should say what their max hit is?

The point of this guide is that people often bring metal armor there, which messes people up because then the Killerwatts own them. So don't bring metal armor there. And then they aren't too bad.

oh btw nice guide, i always get these darn things for slayer.

If you are low leveled, and low on food a lot. Get a glory and tele to draynor everytime you need to restock.

Killerwatts and harpie bug swarms are probably my favorite slayer assignments, just because they're easy to kill and I like the drops. Anyone who says they're horrible is ftl. :P

They hit 3 6's in a row cause they're evil like that :evil:

 

 

 

Good guide, too bad I'm such a noob with low ranging and I can't afford Karil's :lol:

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions. I'll make sure to change some of those things soon.

use barrow gloves instead of rune glove =p

 

and rune defender instead of zammy book...

 

it hits faster

 

 

 

use lava cape > obby > legends

 

i notice u've got no cape

 

 

 

+ no point standing at safespot since they will mage u in a distant ? i tot

That's just what I wear, obviously better things would be better to wear.

 

 

 

And the point of a half safe spot is to not be hit by the melee attack, which makes things a little easier.
