Vorkath OSRS can be fought again after you complete Dragon Slayer II. At this time, he is stronger than before. You have to note that Vorkath’s acid pool quickfire barrage, suicide spawn and insta-kill vertical dragonfire attacks can kill you immediately. You do not worry about that, here we are going to share information related to the best shield to use against Vorkath.
Best Shield for Fighting Vorkath
Here are some best shields for fighting Vorkath:
Anti-Dragon Shield
Anti-dragon shield is a shield given by Duke Horacio during the Dragon Slayer I quest. After the quest, the shield is able to be bought from Oziach, or obtained from Duke Horacio for free. The shield can trade, however can only be equipped if the player has started Dragon Slayer I.
In fact, this Anti-dragon shield reduces the effects of dragonfire, reducing the maximum hit of most dragon-breath attacks by 80%. Also, it prevents Elvarg from greatly draining the player’s combat stats. The effects of antifire potion stack with the anti-dragon shield gives full protection from standard dragonfire attacks. The melee and ranged defensive bonuses of shield are similar to those of an iron sq shield. However, this shield also gives Magic defence and has no offensive penalties. This provides it several usefulness as an all-purpose shield.
Use a hammer and anvil. The players with 90 Smithing can attach a draconic visage to an anti-dragon shield to make a dragonfire shield. Doing that will grant 2,000 Smithing experience. The players without the required level are able to bring the components to Oziach, who can help in making the shield for a payment of 1,250,000 coins.
Once Dragon Slayer II is complete, a Skeletal visage is able to be combined with the anti-dragon shield in a similar fashion, making a Dragonfire ward. In addition to having their own unique traits, both of these shields inherit the anti-dragon shield’s properties.
Dragonfire Shield
Dragonfire shield is an upgraded Anti-dragon shield. It is widely considered as one of the best shields in the game of OSRS, after the Elysian spirit shield and Dinh’s bulwark. To use it, a Defence level of 75 (at least) is required, as well as having started Dragon Slayer I. The Dragonfire shield has two special characteristics. The Dragonfire shield acts like a regular anti-dragon shield in dragonfire protection. Also, it protects against the icy breath of wyverns, same with the dragonfire ward, elemental, mind and ancient wyvern shields.
Dragonfire shield is unique in terms of Defence. When uncharged, the Dragonfire shield is tradeable and also offers little more defences than a mithril sq shield. But, when fully charged, the shield is one of the best shields in the game of OSRS. To charge a Dragonfire shield, you are going to need to absorb dragonfire attacks while wearing it. Remember that every absorption effectively boosts its defences by +1, to a peak of a +50 Defence increase. But, its Magic Defence is going to remain the same.
This Dragonfire shield OSRS is made by attaching a draconic visage to an anti-dragon shield at any anvil. The process needs 90 Smithing and a hammer, providing 2,000 Smithing experience and an uncharged dragonfire shield. If you do not have the required Smithing level to create the Dragonfire shield, so you are able to go to Oziach in Edgeville, who will smith the shield for any player who has already completed Dragon Slayer I. The cost is 1,250,000 coins. Then, draconic visage is dropped by most dragons, excluding the green dragons, red dragons, blue dragons, bronze dragons, brutal green dragons and all baby dragons.
Dragonfire Ward
Dragonfire ward is a ranged shield that needs a Ranged level of 70 and a Defence level of 75 to equip, as well as having started Dragon Slayer. The Dragonfire ward offers two special characteristics. The Dragonfire ward acts like a regular anti-dragon shield in dragonfire protection. Also, it protects against the icy breath of Wyverns, same with the elemental mind, ancient wyvern, and dragonfire shields.
For your information, Dragonfire ward is made by attaching a skeletal visage to an anti-dragon shield at any anvil. The process needs 90 Smithing and a hammer, providing 2,000 Smithing experience and an uncharged dragonfire ward. If you do not have the required Smithing level to create the Dragonfire ward, then you are able to go to Oziach in Edgeville, who will smith the ward for any player. The cost is 1,250,000 coins. Later, the skeletal visage is dropped by Vorkath exclusively.
Strategy in Fighting Vorkath
After Vorkath is awakening, his attack consists of six random attacks, six random standard attacks, one special attack, and other special attack. Throughout the kill, you have to keep run off and use control click to run. Offensively, he has 560 Attack, 308 Strength/Ranged, 150 Magic, +16 melee, +150 magic and +78 ranged accuracy. Defensively, he has a Defence level of 214, +26 stab/ranged, +108 slash/crush and +240 magic defence bonus. This makes him similar to most dragons in OSRS as he is weak against the stab melee and ranged.
The effective protection prayer to use based on the gear being used:
-
- Protect from Magic if you use Melee, a Toxic blowpipe, Book of law or Super antifire potion.
- Protect from Missiles if you use a crossbow along a Dragonfire ward, Dragonfire shield, Anti-dragon shield, or Super antifire potion.
Vorkath OSRS has the ability to hit up to 30 with magic, and 32 with melee and ranged. His melee attacks are very accurate. You must have quick-prayers set according to your combat style and weapon type to reactivate you when deactivated by Pink dragonfire. Aside from that, you also need to be prepared to click two spaces away if Vorkath uses his insta-kill vertical dragonfire attacks. In addition, he will be able to poison you with his venom dragonfire. Keep in mind that pink dragonfire can turn off every single active prayer. For this case, divine potions are very recommended over normal potions.
