Guide to soloing the KBD

 

 

 

 

This guide is intended for people who know where the KBD is, so please don't ask, "How do I get there?"

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

A suggestion by rew_den:

 

A safe and quick way to get to the KBD is by using a canoe from lumby or barbarian village to get to lvl 35 wildy, from there the KBD is a short walk.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Most guides, and most people recommend using Protect from Magic while fighting the KBD. Which does help... a bit. My strategy uses Protect from Melee, and with it I can kill an average of 3 KBDs per trip.

RAHK also suggested using Super defense potions. I havn't tried using them personally, and I don't know how much they'll actually help. But if you want to try them, go right ahead.

Heres the long awaited updated version of the video lol, the old one was from before the dragon and demon update, plus the link was broken.

 

 

 

The Strategy

 

 

 

Once you're at the poison spiders, drink 1 dose of Super anti-poison, anti-fire, Super attack and Super strength. Pull the lever and put on Protect Melee, then special out on the KBD with your Dagger. Once your specials are gone, switch to your main melee weapon. Once it's dead, pick up the drops, eat, and then switch worlds or wait for the KBD to respawn. (I switch worlds as to not waste potion additions)

 

 

 

The reason why my strategy owns, is because if you have a high Mage lvl and Mage defense, his attacks won't hit you that often. By the time he's dead, you'll have to use 3 to 5 Sharks normally. Just repot (All potions) when neccesary and keep your Prayer above 20 just incase. Anti-fire runs out in 7 minutes while Super attack, strength and anti-poison run out slowly as well.

 

 

 

I usually use 4 Sharks per kill and maybe 40 Prayer points per kill. Once it's dead, I pick up the drops and switch worlds. If you notice that he starts hitting you often, it's probably because the anti-fire potion has wasted, so watch out for that. (When anti-fire runs out in 7 minutes, it makes an explosion sound you can hear)

 

 

 

Hope my guide helps :

About me

 

 

 

Hi, my RSN is King Gorax, I'm 108 combat and I wrote this guide because I saw so many people killing the KBD in groups of 3+ and only getting 1 or 2 kills per trip. This is mainly because they Protect Mage, and his melee attack owns them!!! This is the first guide I have ever written, for anything.

simple good guide , but add pics , that wud make it nice

I might get pics later.

Nice guide Gorax, simple, well written and easy to understand, i oughta give it a go. =D>

Thx for the feedback guys :) i got pics !

I'm going to go later on... ;)

Is it really that easy? I am 105 combat and didn't know I could kill that many by myself. It is very enticing. Do you get any good drops often?

Its pretty easy, i got quite a few rune drops, havent got a drag drop yet.

Wow, man. I didn't think it could be done, or at least that you'd need some really high stats. (for example, my lvl 124 friend said once that he could barely ever solo the KBD. Mind you, this was before the days of whips, dragon scimitars, or ... well you know, when dinosaurs roamed RS.)

 

 

 

Bravo, though. I'll try this out later. :thumbsup:

By the way, Archer helms give negative melee attack stats. You don't want to be taking one of those...

Archer is optional, it gives mage def.

Archive of wisdom, I think?

 

 

 

Best (only) guide I've seen to solo-ing the KBD so far.

If you open a level interface you won't lose the boosted stats (you also won't regain hp or recover lowered stats.) You can also leave your prayer on without it draining. I like to reacquaint myself with the smithing tables. :3>

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. Why don't you use super def pots? That would cut down on food consumption I would think..?

Lol, the reason i wrote this is cause i thought the archive of wisdom one wasnt that good for high lvls. (no offence to the author)

 

 

 

Good idea RAHK, mind if i add it to my guide?

Go for it. I editted in a question as well.

Well since ur using protect from melee u dont get hit by his 25s. Cause i noticed that with pray mage i have to eat every 2nd hit.

Wouldn't a super def pot lower the damage recieved from his mage attacks, though? That is what I am asking. Whether or not the bonus defense would save more than 20hp.

Oh, well super defense raises ur defense lvl, which affects the damage u take from melee, but mage lvl affects how often u get hit by mage, so in this case super defense wouldnt help.

Nope, it also depends on your defence level.

 

Also, what kind of drops do you get?

From the kb:

 

 

 

What affects my magic defence?

 

 

 

Magic defence depends on your magic skill level, defence level and the magic equipment you are wearing.

 

 

 

The higher your skill levels and magic bonus, the less likely you are to get hit. You will also receive less damage from a spell.

 

 

 

 

 

That would seem to indicate the defense stat protecting from magic attacks.

Well i guess super def pots would help, but i dont use them since i use 2 sharks on average per kill. Super def pots would help.

 

 

 

The KBD drops drag left halves, dmeds and lots of rune stuff.

 

 

 

I gotta go now, be back 2morow, bye.

Is it a profit/break even, or do you lose $$?

Profit pretty much, i get lots of rune items.

I managed to kill 2 in one trip witht hat set up :oops:

 

 

 

I'm 110 combat with te Karils/fury set up. I'm taking more prayer pots this trip... All I got was 7 deaths and 105 fires #-o

also canoe is probally best way to get up to kbd
