Killing Vorkath (Dragon Hunter Crossbow)
Vorkath is one of the most reliable and consistent money makers in OSRS. Unlike raid bosses whose profit is heavily tied to 1/500 mega-rares, Vorkath drops over 120,000 GP per kill in direct alchables, high-tier dragon bones, and materials.

Step-by-Step Execution Strategy
- 1Turn on Protect from Magic and Rigour/Eagle Eye before waking Vorkath.
- 2Use Ruby Dragon Bolts (e) until Vorkath drops below 35% HP (262 HP), then immediately switch to Diamond Dragon Bolts (e).
- 3When Vorkath launches the high-arcing fireball, walk 2 tiles in any direction immediately to avoid instant one-hit death.
- 4During the Freeze + Zombified Spawn special, cast Crumble Undead on the spawn immediately while you are frozen.
- 5During the Poison Acid Pools special, perform the "Woox Walk" or simply walk continuously in a straight line on clean floor tiles without stopping.
🎯 Pro Efficiency Tips
- •Salve Amulet (ei) is mandatory; it stacks multiplicatively on Vorkath since he is undead.
- •Never run during the acid phase—keep your character in walk mode to avoid accidentally pathing into poison pools.
- •Banking at your Player-Owned House (POH) using an Ornate Rejuvenation Pool and Lunar Portal allows zero-downtime trips.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- •Forgetting Salve Amulet (ei) and using an Amulet of Fury/Anguish instead.
- •Running during the acid phase and taking rapid 30-40 damage hits.
- •Forgetting to bring Slayer staff with Crumble Undead configured.
