In-depth Zulrah Guide

Written by Treeroot on . Posted in OSRS PvM

 

Hi, welcome to this in-depth Zulrah guide. Cause you obviously want to start doing Zulrah and make money, I'll keep this short.

Zulrah is a level 725 solo-boss, released ont he 8th of January, 2015. It had plenty of nerfs, but this monster is still one of the biggest money makers in the game. Why? Cause it drops rares which are worth around 3M, and supplies that are worth alot of money. Also the pets and the mutagens are some things items to obtain.

 

Location & Information

Zulrah can be accessed by taking the boat at Zulandra. If you die to her, you can retrieve your lost items by talking to the high priestess next to the boat, and selecting the 'collect' option. Please keep in mind that when you die somewhere else whilst your items are still at the high priestess, they are lost forever.

If you are low mage and range (< 85), choose for the ranged gear not more than 3/4 items, since you will need the space for food. Always choose the helmet and the weapon, then the Ava's Accumulator, then boots.

 

The Fight

Zulrah is not a difficult boss. If you are new to fighting her, you will die alot in the beginning cause the rotations are random and you might get overwhelmed. This is normal. Don't get demotivated because of it. Keep going and around 60 - 70 KC you might know all the rotations from your head.

Zulrah has 5 forms: Ranged, Melee, Magic, Jad and Toxic.

The Ranged Form is weak to Magic.

The Melee Form is less weak to Magic.

The Jad phase is weak to Magic.

The Toxic phase is weak to magic.

The magic phase is weak to Ranged.

How to handle the Jad Phase and the end of a rotation?

You might get overwhelmed during both. What you need to know is that the damage is decided even before Zulrah fires her attack at you, so therefore you have to switch prayer before she fires her attack:

 

* Jad phase starts with ranged *

1. Pray ranged first.

2. When you see the green missile flying in mid air, activate protect from mage.

3. When you see the orange missile flying in mid air, activate protect from ranged.

4. See step 2.

 

* Jad phase starts with mage *

1. Pray mage first.

2. When you see the orange missile flying in mid air, activate protect from ranged.

3. When you see the green missile flying in mid air, activate protect from mage.

4. See step 2.

 

End of a rotation

When the rotation ends, try to get back to your starting position as quick as possible. You will take damage from venom in most cases, especially when the rotation ends with the melee phase.
