OSRS Zammy GWD Guide: K'ril Tsutsaroth Strategies & Gear

K’ril Tsutsaroth is the boss of Zamorak Fortress in the God Wars Dungeon. He can be killed on a slayer task and since He is classified as a greater demon, killing him counts towards a greater demon slayer task.

 

Location of K'ril Tsutsaroth

The God Wars Dungeon (GWD) is located north of Trollheim. Before entering, equip items representing the four gods (Armadyl, Bandos, Saradomin, or Zamorak) to avoid aggression from their followers. Use one of these efficient travel methods:

  • Trollheim Teleport: Requires Eadgar’s Ruse completion and 61 Magic. Teleport to the mountaintop east of Troll Stronghold, descend the mountain and head north to the dungeon entrance.
  • Games Necklace: Teleport to Burthorpe with a Games Necklace. Bring climbing boots, rope, and Stamina potions. You must have started the Troll Stronghold quest to access this route.

Inside GWD, proceed to K'ril Tsutsaroth’s lair, northeast of the dungeon. There are two ways to gain access to Kril’s lair::

  • Using an ecumenical key.
  • Killing 40 Zamorak followers

Ward of Arceuus

ward of arcueuus

This spell is in the Arceuus spell book and requires 73 magic and completion of a kingdom divided. When cast, it provides the player a 10% damage reduction to the attacks of Demonic creatures. This is an alternative for players that don’t have requirements for blood barrage.

K’ril Tsutsaroth’s attacks

K’ril uses a combination of melee and magic attacks during the fight. 

 

K’ril Tsutsaroth’s melee attacks

He will swipe at his target with his scimitar, dealing up to 46 damage. This attack can also inflict poison on the player for up to 16 damage. K’ril has a 2/3 chance of using this attack.

 

K’ril Tsutsaroth’s magic attack

K’ril will raise both scimitars in the air and then slam them down, emitting a magical shock wave at his target, dealing up between 10 and 30 damage if successful. He has a 1/3 chance of using this attack.

 

Prayer Smash

K’ril will yell “YARRRRRR!” when he uses his prayer smash, dealing 35 to 49 damage, and drains his target’s current prayer points by half. He has a 1/9 chance of using this attack instead of a melee attack if his target is using protect from Melee and there is no way to avoid it.

 

K’ril’s bodyguards

K’ril has 3 bodyguards that protect him. These bodyguards will attack a random player in the room when K’ril is killed, regardless of who deals the final blow:

 

Balfrug Kreeyath

Balfrug Kreeyath

This is the magic bodyguard. He is a black demon that uses a fire spell at his target, capable of dealing up to 16 damage.

 

Tstanon Karlak

Tstanon Karlak

This is the melee bodyguard. He is a greater demon that uses a melee attack where he claws at his target, dealing up to 15 damage.

 

Zakl’n Gritch

Zakl’n Gritch

This is the ranged bodyguard. He is a lesser demon that throws snowballs at his target, capable of dealing up to 21 damage.

 

Strategy for Killing K’ril Tsutsaroth

 

Strategy for soloing K’ril Tsutsaroth

If using melee, use protect from Melee during the fight and wear armour with high magic defence. Right before entering his lair, turn on protect from melee, pray Piety, cast the ward of Arceuus, and drink a dose of sanfew potion and super divine combat potion. Equip your special attack weapon and spec the boss as soon as you enter his lair. 

strategy for K'ril

Similar to Graardor, you should walk under K’ril after you do 2 hits. This way, K’ril can only hit you once for every 2 hits you do. To save time, eat while under him. Always keep your hitpoints above 60 throughout the fight because of his high-hitting attack. When K’ril has been killed, adjust your prayer accordingly to the attack styles of the bodyguards and kill them.

 

While soloing, blood barrage is highly recommended since K’ril and his bodyguards do not drop bones, and bones to peaches cannot be used. Stack Tstanon on Zakl’n so the Blood Barrage spell can hit both of them simultaneously. If you are not going to use Blood Barrage, kill Zakl’n Gritch (ranged bodyguard), Tstanon Karlak (melee bodyguard) and then the Balfrug Kreeyah (magic bodyguard) in that order. When they are all dead, pray at the altar and get ready for them to respawn.

 

With this method, players can do between 2 and 4 kills per trip.

 

Strategy for Killing K’ril Tsutsaroth with a Team

If killing K’ril with a team, the team should have a tank and attacker. 

strategy for kril in group

Tanks

Tanks should use protect from magic and focus on gear with melee and ranged defence like a full set of Justiciar armour with echo or guardian boots which can be combined with dragonfire shield or elysian spirit shield. Using protect from magic will cover the magic weakness and K’ril will not use his prayer slam. With this method, Balfrug won’t attack, and the other bodyguards will have trouble hitting the player. The tank should use the 2 hits and walk under method explained above to attack K’ril.

 

Attacker

The gear setup should focus more on offensive gear. The gear setup is similar to solo, but you consider swapping the Barrows gloves for ferocious gloves. At the start of the fight, the attackers should stand in one of the corners near the altar. This is the furthest distance from K’ril and allows prayer restoration after the fight. Attackers should only attack K’ril Tsutsaroth after the tank has hit him and drawn his attention. When K’ril starts to attack the tank, attackers should pray against the attack style of the minion that is aggressive to them and attack him. Note that attackers don’t have to do the 2 hits and walk under method.

 

GP per hour from Killing K’ril Tsutsaroth

Each K’ril Tsutsaroth kill is worth 91K GP. Experienced players can kill K’ril Tsutsaroth 26 times in one hour with the recommended skills and stats. This results in 2.3M GP profit per hour after the cost of food and potions have been deducted. Note that most of the profit comes from the unique drops like the Zamorakian speak (1/127) which is the most common unique drop and others like the Staff of the dead and the Zamorka hilt which drop at 1/508
