Saradomin God Wars Guide



=Saradomin God Wars Guide=

There are four very strong bosses in the God Wars Dungeon. The Saradomin boss, also known as Commander Zilyana, is possibly the deadliest of the four. She has a combat level of 596 and is very dangerous because all her attacks are at high speed. Most of the time she only hits 10s or 20s, but she does that very often and very quickly so beware if you fight her. In order to enter the Saradomin Encampment, you must have an agility level of 70 You will also need 2 ropes the first time you go there.

Suggested equipment
First option: A Godsword with Bandos armour and Helm of Neitiznot (to max out your strength). You can also combine the Godsword with Verac's armour (prayer bonus, good for piety!) or Guthan's armour (to heal on the minions, only when your summoning lvl is below 79). Bring a fire cape if you have.

Second option: Full Verac's (chance to ignore the target's defence, works pretty well on Zilyana). This is better than a whip here. Of course, a whip will also do if you can't afford Verac's.

Third option: After the removal of boxing (Zilyana dance) ranging the Saradomin boss has lost most of his advantages. She will attack the rangers just as often as she attacks the meleeers, so there's no point in ranging her. If you still want to range, bring a combination of ranging gear and melee/range protection armour (Verac's + dragonhide works fine, or bring Guthan's to heal). You will get hit lots by Starlight and Bree if you only bring ranging gear.

You can replace the ring of life with berserker ring or warrior ring, but do not use a ring of wealth here since it has no effect when you are using lootshare/coinshare.

Suggested inventory
Teletab or another teleportation method. The tab can be a good way to avoid getting killed. You can also use the teleport on the Saradomin altar in the room (this will teleport you to the middle of the Saradomin stronghold, so make sure you got a Saradomin item equipped if you use this teleport).

A Zammy and a Saradomin item. Red Zammy robes, monk's robes and holy symbols are examples of cheap items which can be used to get 40 Kill Count. You can drop them after entering the boss room to make space for the drops.

Bring super attack and super strength pots (range pots if you range) so you can take the boss out fast. During the fight, use the Piety prayer as much as you can.

About 4 Fire/Ice or Moss titan pouches (summon lvl 79) or Unicorn stallion pouches (summon lvl 88). The amount of pouches depends on how big your team is and on how long you wish to stay. Also bring 250 or more Titan's Constitution or Healing Aura scrolls together with your pouches. A bunyip can also be used, but is much less effective here. You can also bring a beast of burden, but this will cause a lot of trouble getting into the encampment. You can't take your familiar down the ropes, so you will have to dismiss your familiar in the central cave, drop your items on the lowest floor in the camp, go get your items back in the central room and finally summon your familiar on the lowest lvl and put your items back in.

Fill up the rest of your inventory with Super restore pots and Saradomin brews. The brew/restore ratio depends on how many people are going (more people needs more restores, less people needs more brews) and on if you prefer to use Piety throughout the kill or not. You will notice that when you are going with an experienced high lvl team, you will be able to stay very long by just using your healing familiar and the altar in the room, which can be used every 15 minutes to restore your pray. Since super restore pots restore Summoning now too, you won't need to bring a Summoning pot here. Bones to peaches tabs can also be used (peaches heal 8 hp each).

Trollheim teleport runes, or you can bring two more pots if you do the following: Teleport to Trollheim, drop two pots, teleport back to a bank, fill up with pots, teleport to Trollheim again and pick up the two items you dropped. Again, if you are going with a high lvl team, you may prefer to keep it simple and use the 2 empty spaces to pick up your drops.

Strategy
Getting 40 KC is very easy at Saradomin if you have a high Slayer lvl (83+). Just attack the Saradomin followers who are fighting monsters of other gods. If you fight the Spiritual mages, you may even get some Dragon boots from time to time.

It is recommend having at least a team of 3-4 high lvl fighters. You will be able to last much longer if you bring more people, but then the shares will be lower of course. Before you enter the boss chamber, make sure to summon your familiar, turn auto-retaliate off, check that your lootshare/coinshare is on and put your character to a running mode.

Once everyone is ready, put on protect from magic prayer and enter the boss chamber. Once inside, the first thing the team should focus on is killing Commander Zilyana. Everyone should attack her as fast as possible. She will start to follow one of you. When you are the one who gets attacked, you should start running from corner to corner until she stops following you. Then go and attack her again. It's often hard to see if you are the one who gets attacked (familiars often make a mess of things, like you can see on the pics). Just watch Zilyana all the time, and if she turns her face to you and if you see your hp going down fast, then it's time to run. For those who like to time things: Zilyana will turn to another attacker exactly 5 seconds after she hit the attacker who is running at that moment.

Don't be a fool and try to tank Commander Zilyana. Her melee attacks can hit 25s at constant high speed, and her mage attacks will do about the same if you protect from melee.

Once Zilyana is dead, her three minions will all attack the person who inflicted the last hit on Zilyana. Whoever is being attacked should run until he/she touches the north wall (to stop Starlight from attacking) or run to the south wall (to stop Bree from attacking). After that the team should focus on taking out the minions. Watch for your team members who may want to use Guthans to heal on the minions. Once the boss and her minions are dead, run to the south wall and wait for the boss and minions to respawn. Keep on following this routine and don't forget to pick up the goodies!

Note that if one of your teammates dies, it is VERY important that his/her grave is blessed as fast as possible.
