Hey so i just recently started the zulrah grind on my ironman and was curious if anyone had any tips on how to be more efficient in my runs.

currently i've been doing the mage only strat with void/trident and 90 mage.. i've also been trying to learn just one rotation so i can get good at that specific one and learn others later. atm i'm doing the double green at the start rotation.

sadly i've only been able to get 1 kill per inventory, sometimes 2 but if i go for 2 it ends up being really close with 0 food and like 10-20 health lol.

is there any suggestions anyone could make on how i could do this more efficiently and get more kills per run? should i bring a ranged switch? or should i just keep trying to "cheese" zulrah until i get drops?

currently 18 kills deep. any insight that could help with be great, thanks!

Definitely start a ranged switch for now. 3 to 4 items. Long as u have a chart up and learning rotations should easily be able to swap prayers n gear fast enough. Biggest thing is always don't panic. Having correct prayer up is biggest thing for snake. Especially on the range mage phase. Alternating will save tons of food and make it so smooth

There's a runelite plugin for zulrah rotations, it puts a side bar with the next rotation I think that should help until you memorize it.
Practice swapping gear setup for a couple minutes before you get into it, that should warm you up if that is troubling you.
Swap from void magic to range should be like 3 items if you got an anguish.

Thanks for the info. i've been getting a little better but still only get 1-2 kills a run. it always seems to be going really well up until the jad phase. i'm getting better at the swaps but still take some damage at the jad phase.

then it seems like on random phases after the jad phase when it resets to phase 1 there will be a time or two when it seems like the jad phase appears at random.

For example, i'll try and get the double green at the start rotation, go through the whole thing and get lucky and there will be another double green start.. except this time the green or blue snakes when they spawn seem like they will not only range or only mage.. but throw mage/range out randomly.

this always throws me for a loop really hard and i take way more damage then i should. is there any way to predict this?

edit; sorry if this is confusing lol.

Think it loops twice then gets fucky with completely random rotations, you have to kill it before that happens.
Have you brought a ranged weapon like a blowpipe yet?

i havent. unfortunatly i'm an ironman and so i dont have access to much aside from a runecross bow atm (89 range). is the main reason i'm doing zulrah is for a better ranged weapon.

that being said i probably should try and work in a ranged switch.

tbh i'm really close to just saying fk it and paying someone to get kills for me until a unique.
