Hi all,

Struggling getting more than 1 kill trips at Vorkath.

It isn't a huge problem as I have a kitted out house and get back fairly quick using the 'get kicked from Lunar Isle' method; I would like to improve my efficiency and ideally get 2-3 kill trips to save me using as many pots/food as I am.

86 Range
74 Prayer (rigour)
DHCB
Full elite Void
Sales EI

that is my main gear. Praying range prot/rigour whole fight

For some reason I seem to take a large amount of unavoidable damage using nearly a full invent of sharks and 2 doses of prayer per kill - also using 1 sup anti sip and 1 anti venom sip + 1 range dose per kill

Has any1 got any tips/advice that could help me extend my trips? I am sure I will get better with practice as I only have 15 kills but with banking times and returning im only getting 12 kills an hour

How often are you being hit by its venom spits and baby blasts? I advise to only eat through these phases unless you drop down to 30 HP.

Do you have a Ward? In order to take the least amount of damage possible, players should use a Dragonfire Ward or anti-dragon shield with the dragon hunter crossbow, while praying Protect from Missiles.

Besides, what is your defence level?

idk, i like melee vork. can do like 8 kill trips.

No ward, using regular anti shield for now

Maybe get hit by 1 baby blast if I get caught with the delay using dhcb, it doesn’t always happen though and I am getting better with it

Dragon ruby e/dragon diamond e bolts, swapping at 40% hp.
quick pray so you can easily repray after purple prayer disable.
Rune pouch w dust law chaos and slayer staff for autocast crumble or always right click crumble on spider to prevent misclick.
No alch runes, even with 7 kill trips i never seem to use them to justify the slots.
I keep run on for 6 vork attacks then turn it off for each special, but you can walk the whole time.
Don't stand in melee range.
Imbued heart + angler at bank can help but not much, toggling rapid heal every 30s to keep max hp while walking to vork.
When you're good at eating bring as many strawberry(5) as you are comfortable with. I bring 1 emergency angler and 19 strawberry(5).

To be getting so few kill you're either missing attacks (most likely attacking slightly too slow after dodging fireball or attacking before he is vulnerable after spider), taking crazy acid damage/spider hit, or eating too often and at the wrong times (during normal attack phase).

When to eat:
Only during special attacks. Eat once as soon as xp drop on crumble spider happens, and once before when it's spawning but only if you didn't fire an extra bolt while vork is invulnerable. I don't woox walk so eat to full on acid phase, you can bring pineapple pizza for the times you would overheal eating a shark. You can combo eat pineapple pizza + shark with a 1 tick delay so it can be helpful for learning.

Bring a few anglers while you're learning and overheal during special phase so you never eat outside of spec attack phases. He only hits 6 times so even if you're low he doesn't have much combo potential - like if you're 50hp I don't eat until I see a mage attack and if my ping is good I still won't eat - tick eating the second mage attack because the animation is long.

On my regular void 52pray zerker I avg 7 kill trips with 1 angler, 19 strawberry(5). Just gotta not miss attacks and eat at the right times. Few anglers and guthix rests will help with the learning process. I see some guys bring blowpipe for spec but its too much clicking for vork imo

okay thanks definitely helpful

thinking im definitely eating at the wrong times and I am keeping my hp 50-60 (less nervy if I missclick and let the scorpion thing blow up on me) sounds like that would be a straight improvement - its probably extending my kills a bit meaning naturally taking more damage

normally i only take damage first tick of the acid phase basically if it lands on me so will try and work on that - I am also not attacking at all in that phase and i see some people do so will keep practising

Only eating during spawn phase if you can, right before you switch to slayer staff eat and if needed immediately after you cast, the latter one may lose you a tick or 2.

I keep my HP at or above 38-40, and try to only eat during spawn phase. Having a few karams + manta's for tick eating can be helpful

Also learn woox walk, it speeds up kills dramatically and faster kills means less damage from vorkath.

Spawn phase - Switch to slayer staff, turn off prayer, click minion, turn pray back on after it dies
Acid phase - move toward open path for woox walk, turn off quick prayer when I can

And I'd assume high range makes a difference so may be worth leveling it up a bit if you're looking to farm vork long term.

I personally prefer melee

Only eat during move phase or right before/after you're doing the spider phase. No need to eat any other time unless you go from 90+ hp to 30 hp.
Use slayer staff for quick swap to kill minion.
Can use anglers to get 120 hp.

I'd also suggest not doing woox walk until you can kill vork without taking any other damage then the magic attacks ( should be able to kill 4-5 )

I just started myself about a day ago for the first time.

If your just starting i find it best not to bring any switches (like bgs..diamond bolts) just use ruby dragon bolt (e) until u get better.

Make sure you click on yourself when you see him cast that scorpion.. this is what was getting me at the start. I read it in the guide but wasnt thinking about it and would get clipped by that scorpion 60% of the time. As soon as i started doing that my usage went way down.

I bring

4 prayer pots. 1anti 1extended 1range a rune bag with dust law chaos rest of inv is anglerfish just to make it simple till i get better( i actually use these runes to tele to camelot to bank and tele back to house with them.. makes return fast.

I probly avg 2-4kills now after a day but sometimes he just refuses to die and wants me dead.

Other then that try to time when you eat food or pots. And if u do eat when he is not doing a special attack make sure u click on him right away so you dont wait for his atk to auto retaliate back. Once u have the timing you basically will never waste an attack.

Thanks for the advice guys, I’m up to 4 kill trips now, hardly ever take avoidable damage it’s basically only his mage and ruby bolts damage
