After awakening, Vorkath’s attack pattern consists of six random standard attacks, six random attacks, one special attack, the other special attack until it can be defeated. Of course, the players have to keep running off throughout the kills and also use the control click to run as needed.
As we know, Vorkath is a high-level boss which will be unlocked upon completion of Dragon Slayer II. Exactly, before the fight, you have to boost your stats with respective potions and weaken his defence with Dragon warhammer or Bando godswprd’s special attack.

Well, that’s a guide which assumes 20 kills per hour. Then, rates probably will vary between the players.
In case of Venom, you should walk around the area to avoid Vorkath’s special dragonfire attack that can kill you within ticks. In this case, the ‘moonwalk’ will also be an option. The Zombified spawn is removed with one Crumble Undead. If it’s not killed, it would do a lot of damage. Among the normal attacks are the bombard attacks, which are very distinctive. If not avoided by moving 2 or more tiles, it will deal a lethal amount of damage.
Why Is Melee Not Recommended to Kill Vorkath?
Melee Vorkath is not a good idea because of the mechanics of the boss. That’s because the mobility of the fight and you will be limited when trying to get back into melee range. In other words, using a Dragon Hunter Lance will be the only decent weapon to go up againts him.
Not only having a strong stab attack, but that also has a 20% damage and accuracy boots against this boss. Sure, you can combine it with the strongest strength bonus you can. Then, you can get up to 30 kills an hour. It’s important to note that Vorkath is assumed to be one of the most consistent money makers in this game as it has high requirements to kill.
