Weapons

Scythe of Vitur
Scythe of Vitur

The Scythe of Vitur is the best Melee weapon. But, it is an expensive weapon on OSRS. Most players do not have access to it. So, if you cannot get it, you are able to use the Abyssal Tentacle. Other alternative weapons which are not as powerful as the previous weapons are a Dragon Scimitar and an Abyssal Whip. If you are an Ironman and have not yet achieved level 85 in Slayer, a Dragon Scimitar will do the trick.

When using Ranged weapons, the best choice for you is the Blowpipe. But, if you do not have access to a Blowpipe, a nice alternative is the Rune Crossbow.

    • Cape

In the Melee Cape slot, you will be able to equip the Infernal Cape as it is the best option in Old School RuneScape. Then, a Fire Cape is going to be the second nice choice. Several of you prefer to use Ava’s Assembler because it will be able to boost your Ranged stats. Also, it is undoubtedly the best choice for Ranged Attacks. If you have not unlocked Ava’s Assembler, do not worry, you are still able to resort to using Ava’s Accumulator. Although it is not as resourceful as the previous items, it will be able to assist you in certain situations.

    • Ammo

In the Ammo slot, it is going to depend on the weapon you are currently using. You need to bring a Blessing if you plan on attacking with a Blowpipe so you will be able to have several extra Prayer bonuses. However, if you are using a Rune Crossbow, it will be better to equip Diamond Bolts. Aside from that, you will be able to dazzle them to boost your Ranged attack. Several other players prefer Ruby bolts, but the extra space is not really worth it when fighting the Gargoyle.

    • Helmet

You need to be on a Gargoyle Task to battle the Gargoyle. Thus, you have to wear the Slayer Helm for ultimate damage and also for better stats. If you do not have the ability to unlock the Slayer Helm for some reasons, then you are able to use a Black Mask. Whether you use the Slayer Helm or the Black Helm, it is highly recommended for you to imbue your headgear of choice at the Nightmare Zone. If you do so, it is going to give you a boost on Melee and Range. But, if you do not do this, the headgear will only improve your Melee level.

    • Shield

In the Shield slot, Inverted Defender will be the best. If this is not possible, the Dragon Defender is going to be a formidable second choice. You do not need to use a shield if you are using a Blowipipe. But, it is nice to use a Twisted Blucker when you are equipping the Rune Crossbow.
