Gear Setup

osrs melee setup for Dagannoth
  • High-level melee gear is recommended. You can use items such as Barrows equipment or Bandos armour.
  • A strong crush weapon like the Abyssal Bludgeon or the Saradomin Godsword.
  • Bring plenty of food and Saradomin brews for healing.
  • A Ring of Wealth can help with potential drops.
  • An inventory filled with food and Saradomin brews.

Prayer:

Protection prayers (Deflect Melee, Range, and Magic) are essential to reduce damage taken. Use Protect from Melee against Supreme, Protect from Range against Prime, and Protect from Magic against Rex.

Dagannoth Supreme (Range):

  • Dagannoth Supreme uses Ranged attacks, so use Protect from Range.
  • Use your crush weapon (Abyssal Bludgeon or similar) to maximize your damage.
  • Focus on Supreme first. Once he’s down, move to the next king.

Dagannoth Prime (Magic):

  • Dagannoth Prime uses Magic attacks, so use Protect from Magic.
  • Use your crush weapon.
  • After Prime is dead, move to the final king.

Dagannoth Rex (Melee):

  • Dagannoth Rex uses Melee attacks, so use Protect from Melee.
  • Again, use your crush weapon.
  • Be cautious of his special attack, which can drain your stats. Bring Restore potions or Saradomin brews to recover your stats.

Strategies:

  • You can safespot Prime and Rex behind the stalagmites in their respective rooms to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
  • Try to lure one king at a time to avoid getting overwhelmed by all three.
  • Keep an eye on your health and prayer points. Saradomin brews are excellent for both healing and restoring prayer points.
  • After defeating all three kings, you can loot their bodies for valuable drops, such as the Dragon Axe, Seers’ Ring, Archers’ Ring, and Warrior Ring.

Remember that the Dagannoth Kings are challenging, and you may need a few trips to master their mechanics. Additionally, it’s often more efficient to go with a group, as this allows for faster kills and better chances of survival.

Lastly, this is a dangerous area, and you risk losing your items upon death if you’re not using a Ring of Wealth or any other item-protecting method. So, be cautious and prepared when facing the Dagannoth Kings in OSRS.
