Vorkath — steady money for mid-game

Requirements

• Dragon Slayer II completed

Once you know the two specials, the fight never changes. That is what makes it good money.

The fight

Vorkath attacks with ranged, magic and dragonfire. Keep an antifire and anti-venom up, wear an anti-dragon shield or dragonfire ward, and use your ranged boosting prayer with a protection prayer.

Every seventh attack is a special, alternating between:

Acid phase — the floor fills with acid and he fires a rapid stream. Walk back and forth in a straight line on clean tiles and never stand still.

Zombified spawn — you are frozen and a small spawn crawls toward you. Cast Crumble Undead on it before it reaches you, or it explodes.

Watch for

• One dragonfire attack turns your prayers off — put them straight back on
• A fireball fired high lands where you stood: take two steps

Learning kills

Around 80 Ranged, 70 Defence, Eagle Eye.

• A rune crossbow with ruby dragon bolts (e) works — slow kills, but safe to learn on
• Bring plenty of food: your first trips are about learning the acid walk, not speed
• Crumble Undead runes on every trip

Steady profit

Around 90 Ranged, Rigour or Eagle Eye.

• The Armadyl crossbow and Karil's or crystal armour cut kill times a lot
• Swap to diamond dragon bolts (e) while he's at high HP, ruby bolts when he's low — or just use rubies
• Four to six kills per trip is a good target

Fast kills

99 Ranged, Rigour.

• The dragon hunter crossbow is the weapon for this fight: it is built for dragons
• A salve amulet (ei) also works on Vorkath — he is undead
• Masori armour, zaryte vambraces and an assembler round it out
• With the specials down to muscle memory, kills well under two minutes are normal

Loot

Every kill drops superior dragon bones and blue dragonhide. Uniques: the draconic and skeletal visage, the dragonbone necklace, the jar of decay and Vorki the pet. His head is guaranteed at 50 kills.
