↖ Understanding Zulrah's Rotations
Zulrah has four different rotations, each with its own attack style. When facing the green form, use magic attacks and pray against ranged attacks. Against the blue form, switch to ranged attacks and pray against magic attacks. Pay close attention to its attacks and be prepared to switch prayer accordingly.
↖ The Zulrah Fight
Start by activating Mystic Might and quickly board the boat to initiate the fight.
- Zulrah will begin in one of its forms (either green or blue). Respond accordingly by using the appropriate attack style and prayer.
- Be prepared for Zulrah to switch forms throughout the fight. Anticipate its attacks and switch gear and prayers accordingly.
- Avoid standing in the venom clouds, as they can inflict significant damage.
- Make use of the Ring of Suffering's recoil charges to deal with the snakelings. This will save inventory space and make the fight smoother.
- Keep in mind that Zulrah's rotations can be complex, and it takes practice to get used to them. Don't be discouraged by early deaths or mistakes.
