OSRS Drakes Guide

The Drake is a type of wingless draconic creature. Found exclusively in the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon. They are a high level slayer monster requiring a minimum of 84 slayer to damage.

Drakes do not require any dragonfire protection while fighting them. However, every 7th auto attack, they will launch a volcanic breath, targeting the players current location. This can be negated simply by moving out of the way. If you wish to afk then some form of dragonfire protection should be used. A super antifire potion will negate the damage entirely.
