.~ Soloing Commander Zilyana ~
Quote:
We've also adjusted Commander Zilyana's behaviour in the God Wars Dungeon, so she's less inclined to wander aimlessly in the middle of the room while people shoot her from the edges.
This has NO effect to soloing Zilyana
You might ask… Why Zilyana? The commander is arguably the hardest boss in GWD and a whopping level 596. However, fear or not, Zilyana is arguably the best money making GWD boss as well. Her two main drops, the Saradomin Hilt (74m) and Saradomin Sword (8m) add a “huge” amount to ANY bank. Hopefully, this guide will teach you a efficient way for killing Zilyana, giving you the best chance to loot these items.
Agility Level 70+ (Required)
Summoning Level 52+ (Required)
Ranging Level 80+
Slayer Level 83+
Defense Level 85+
Prayer Level 70+
70 Agility is a requirement to get into the Saradomin arena. And you MUST have a base level of 70. A Summer Pie or Agility Potion will NOT work here
Information on Commander Zilyana and her Minions: Commander Zilyana level 596:The commander of Saradomin forces. With 255 Hitpoints. The Commander attacks with BOTH Magic and Melee. Both attacks are extremely accurate and hit up to 31. You may be thinking… Only 31? Yes, however, she attacks at the same speed as darts on rapid! So it’s best not to stay close to her for very long. Zilyana also drops normal bones, unlike the other GWD bosses, so bringing a few Bones to Peaches (B2P) tabs won’t hurt.
Bree Level 146: The champion of truth. Attacks with Range. This guy is a sort a “half-horse half-human” ranger. He hits fairly often and should be killed first of the three. If standing on the southern wall, all of his attacks can be avoided as he can not reach that far. (Similar to Prime/Supreme Dk’s)
Growler Level 139: Defender of the faithful. Attacks with Magic. Growler is not a big threat, he shouldn’t hit you because you will be praying mage throughout the Zilyana kill. Afterwards, your D’hide should protect you well enough if you prefer to save your prayer.
Starlight Level 149: The bane of darkness. Attacks with Melee. Starlight hits quite often, however, while killing Zilyana he takes the same path as her thus you should be avoiding all of his attacks as long as your avoiding Zilyana’s!. Starlight cannot attack you when standing on the northern wall.
Setup & Equipment:The setup and equipment for Zilyana changes dramatically from person to person. Tons of variables come into play such as; Defense level, Ranging level, Prayer level, Skill at actually killing Zilyana and not letting her hit you, etc. Because of this, i've made a easy, and flexible inventory for someone to start off on.
Terror Bird Inventory
Here are some alternatives:
Head - Verac's Helm - Blessed Coif
Body - Karil's Leathertop - Armadyl Plate
Legs - Veracs Plateskirt - Karils Leatherskirt - Armadyl Plateskirt
Shield - Dragonfire Shield - Crystal Shield - Dragon SQ
Feet - Rangers Boots - Snakeskin Boots
Amulet - Mitre - Glory
Gloves - Bless Vambraces - FOG Gloves
Ring - Ring of Wealth - Ring of Life - Archers Ring
Arrows Ruby Bolts(e) - Rune Bolts - Bolt Pouch?
Cape Fire Cape - Skill Cape(t)
After you do a few runs, you will be able to change your inventory and armor accordingly to max your kills.
How to Get to the Dungeon:- Teleport to Trollhein and use the summoning alter to recharge your points
- Walk northwest (near the rock-throwing trolls)
- Run past the Trolls, MAKE SURE YOU ACTIVATE RANGE PROTECT!
- Either push the boulder or squeeze through the tiny hole just east of the bolder.
- Once your past that, run to the "
" on your map and enter.
- You’re in!
The “Tick” - If you want 2 more inventory spaces, get all your pots out along with a teleport. (Glory, Dueling etc.) Teleport to trollhein and drop “2” pots so you can re-obtain them. After dropping them, teleport out and bank. Now, fill your inventory back up and teleport back to trollhein once ready. Because the runes take up 2 slots, you’ll find you have two empty spaces. Pick up your pots you dropped and your set!
Getting Your 40 Kills:Sadly, you cannot just enter the boss area. (Neither can you enter the enchantment with a familiar.) You will have to kill 40 Saradomin creatures before you can open the door leading to the boss. To do this, we will kill the Saradomin creatures in the “main” area of GWD. Once you enter, you should see something like this.
Now if you notice, some Zammorak monsters are attacking the Saradomin ones. (I have circled these) these are the ones you want to attack. You will only have to deal 1 damage to get the kill so let the Zammy creatures do the work. If you have 83 slayer, you’ll want to focus on killing spiritual mages because they’re, easy, fast, and have a good rate of dropping Dragon Boots. If you don’t have 83 slayer, you may still kill Spiritual Warriors (68 slayer), Spiritual Rangers (63 slayer), Saradomin Warriors, Etc. If you do this correctly, you should take “no” damage while getting you KC.
Getting to Commander Zilyana:After getting your 40 KC the first thing you will need to do is transfer your bird and it's items to the lower level of the Saradomin Enchantment. To do this, go to the first rope but BEFORE you go down, dismiss your bird making it disappear and drop all of it's items on the floor. From here, go down to the bottom level and drop any
12 items in your inventory. Now, go back up to the main area and pick up your birds original inventory. Finally go back down and "re-summon" your bird using the pouch in your inventory and fill it back up.
1. Dismiss your bird on top level
2. Go to bottom level and drop 12 items. Go back up.
3. Collect 12 items from dismissed bird
4. Go down, re-summon, refill
Finally, all that you have been waiting for. Zilyana and the Saradomin Hilt! Some things that you'll want to do before entering:
- Make sure Inventory and bird is rearranged how you prefer.
- Double check to make sure you haven't forgot a Teleport. (Trust me, it happens a lot)
- Take a sip of you potions in this order; Sara brew, Restore, Range
Sipping your potions should be the last thing you do before you enter. Doing this, you will enter with maximum hp, prayer, defense and ranged. If you prayer is not full for some reason, take another sip of restore. You don't want to be messing around with pots your first kill so might as well do it now.
Killing Commander Zilyana:Here we go, put on Mage protect, 15% ranged, and, 10% defense. Take a deep breath and enter. AS YOU SOON AS YOU GET IN RUN TO THE SOUTH EAST CORNER. Shortly, you should see Zilyana coming after you, generally from the north. Before she can melee you, run down the southern wall feeing from her. Once you have obtained a distance far enough between you and the commander, range her. Keep repeating this procedure, running around the area not letting you Zilyana attack you. Here is an example.
When killing Zilyana, you will burn through you run energy. This is where the bird comes into handy. When low on run %, simply use the terror bird’s special. It should restore ~40% of you run energy.
Do not let your energy drop to 0%! You will not be able to get away from Zilyana…Tips for killing Commander Zilyana:
- Keep HP above 40.
- Do not let run energy or prayer drop!
- ALWAYS stay along walls. Doing this will prevent the majority of damage from the minions. Simply because Starlight can’t attack you on the northern wall and Bree can’t on southern wall.
- Switch range style to
longrange- Play on low detail, doing this, you’ll be able to see Zilyana through the walls.
