OSRS Skeleton Hellhound NMZ

Skeleton Hellhound is a monster which can be fought in the Nightmare Zone once the quest is successfully completed. However, the ones found here will not drop uncut rubies. Skeleton Hellhounds are the monsters which can be unlocked during the In Search of the Myreque quest.

Surely, to complete the quest, the Skeleton hellhounds should be defeated; that must not be a problem for a moderate player, due to it’s fairly weak. That’s odd enough where Crumble Undead does not work against Skeleton hellhounds and also the Salve Amulet seems to have no effect on it.

Once dying, this mostel will drop four big bones and two uncut rubies as the eyes of the monster.

Strategy to Defeat Skeleton Hellhounds

To defeat all bosses in Nightmare Zone included Skeleton Hellhounds, the best strategy that you can use is praying. However, this is the most AFKable method which is pretty easy to do. You just simply drink Overloads and Prayer potions as needed.

You can also use your weapon’s special attack when it’s possible to increase your XP rate. In this case, absorption are more advanced players who do not mind paying attention. Additionally, Rockcakes from the Recipe For Disaster – Dwarf part are totally useful for using Absorption potions. You also have to Rockcake down to 51 Hit Points. However, it will set you up for 1 HP once you Overload.

That’s so crucial. If you only have 1 HP left, surely the NPCs are able to hit 1 second. It means that if you heal up to 2 HP, your trip is going to be half of one it if you were 1 HP. In order to stay 1 HP, you should ‘flash’ the level 22 Prayer Rapid Heal. It will reset the timer which heals you overtime. You can also use it when using Absorption potions with all three styles.

When you use Absorption potion, you’re able to stand in a corner to prolong your trip. However, this method will only let 2 NPCs attack you at a time. Meanwhile, if you stand in the middle, the four NPCs can attack you. it’s highly recommended to stand in any corner, except the South-East corner as NPCs will be stuck and cannot attack you.

Well, a downside of this method is if you desire to use the Power-up orbs, they will not spawn very close to the corner. Then, some opponents probably take a while to walk to your location.

If you play solo whole casting bursts, barrages or throwing chins, it’s better for you to sit in a corner while doing so.
