OSRS! Here’s how you can defeat Vorkath using the melee strategy to take the boss down. Have you been trying to figure out how to take out Vorkath? Here’s what you need to know.
If you’ve been looking for a way to earn OSRS gold by taking down a dangerous boss in the process, then you’ll want to go head-to-head with Vorkath. Before we look at how to defeat it, though, let’s cover what you need to know beforehand.
About Vorkath
The Vorkath boss fight takes place during Dragon Slayer II. Once you finish the quest, you can return to Ungael to fight a stronger version of Vorkath.
The quick kills and the ways you can travel and bank make this boss a great alternative source of OSRS gold. With those traits in mind, it’s an extremely useful boss for farming.
Vorkath can be assigned as a Slayer master boss task. The boss itself is classified as a blue dragon, so you can kill it while on a blue dragon task while wearing a Slayer helmet, giving you accuracy and damage bonuses.
If you haven’t unlocked the Vorkath Slayer task or blue dragon task yet, you can use a Salve amulet to get the damage and accuracy bonuses instead, when used with Void.
It’s worth planning your route to success ahead of time. You should aim to get a Slayer helmet or a Salve amulet to make the most of your strategy.
Void Melee Method
The Void Melee method for Vorkath works well with the Dragon Hunter Lance, since Vorkath is vulnerable to stab attacks. Combine this with an Ancient Wyvern shield so you’re well protected from Vorkath’s dragonfire breath, and you’ll be a force to be reckoned with.
That said, if you combine a Protect from Magic prayer with a strong anti-fire setup, you’ll be able to protect yourself just as well. This latter method also means you can increase your DPS by carrying a defender in your off-hand.
If you’re planning to use the Void Melee method, make sure you’re using a Dragon warhammer or Bandos godsword, since they help lower the boss’s defenses.
Not having one of those is something you should strongly try to avoid, since you’ll end up spending far too much time getting each kill otherwise — which ultimately makes this a much less efficient boss to farm.
One trick worth remembering: if you use a rejuvenation pool in your player-owned house between OSRS kills, you’ll return to each fight with 100 percent special attack energy, so keep that in mind.
What Gear to Use
If you’re still getting set up with this strategy, there are a couple of gear choices worth keeping in mind. First, you’ll want to get the Void Melee helm.
Next, as mentioned earlier, we’ll be using the Dragon Hunter lance to make the most of the fight. If you have the Infernal cape, Salve amulet, and Void unholy blessing, these will all be really effective for this fight.
If you’ve been following this strategy and have the chance to use a spare defender slot, an Avernic defender is what you should choose.
There are a few elite Void items to work toward, including the elite Void top and elite Void robe. To finish the set, add the Void knight gloves, Void knight boots, and berserker ring.
With these OSRS items on your person, you stand a good chance of making the most of this as a profitable farming boss, if you’d like a break from having to buy OSRS gold outright.
Finally, when it comes to the supplies you bring with you into battle, you’ll want to keep your rune pouch stocked.
Specifically, carrying dust, law, and chaos runes will give you access to some genuinely useful spells, like Teleport to House and Crumble Undead.
So if you’d like a reliable method that can keep the boss kills coming, the Void Melee method could be a great choice.
With drops adding up along the way, it’s worth diving into this method if you’d rather farm your own OSRS gold than buy it.
