Guide to soloing the KBD

I originally wrote this guide for Tipit forums, so I decided to repost it here, where more people will appreciate it lol.

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.

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 :D

About me

Hi, my RSN is King Gorax, I'm 113 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.
