Loot

The live drop table (wiki rates) and the drop simulator are in the app. ⚔ Open in the interactive guide

62 waves of TzHaar and then TzTok-Jad. Ranged from safespots, kill in the right order and pray according to what is alive. Against Jad it is all about reading his animation: rears up = Magic, slams the ground = Missiles.

Left icon: what hits you. Right icon: what to pray.

⚠→🚫

Tz-Kih (22)

Bat that drains Prayer on every hit. Always kill it first.

→

Tok-Xil (90)

Accurate ranged up to 13, second priority. Early on pray Missiles; with a Ket-Zek alive, kill it fast or fight it up close (its melee is weak).

→

Ket-Zek (360)

From wave 31. Magic up to 54 and strong melee up close. Protect from Magic whenever one is alive. Third priority.

→🚫

Yt-MejKot (180)

Slow melee up to 31, heals others. Trap it behind a rock or a Ket-Zek; fourth priority. Tz-Kek (45) last.

→

Jad: rears up

Stands up on his hind legs and growls: Protect from Magic BEFORE he breathes fire. Up to 95.

→

Jad: slams the ground

Slams his front legs and the floor cracks: Protect from Missiles now. The boulder lands after and the sound is late. Start wave 63 with Missiles on. Up to 97.

⚠→🔄

Healers

At half HP 4 Yt-HurKots (108) appear and heal him. Hit each ONE time (long range) so they follow you; leave none. Keep switching prayers.

1. Enter with as many bolts as you can (over 1 h for a low iron). Waves 1-30: safespot and order Tz-Kih, Tok-Xil, Yt-MejKot, Tz-Kek.
2. Waves 31-62: Protect from Magic for the Ket-Zeks. Use Ket-Zeks and rocks to block the 180s.
3. Jad spawns where the orange Ket-Zek of wave 62 stood. Stay far: up close he also uses melee with no warning.
4. Switch prayer on the animation; eat only after praying, one food per attack.
5. At half HP: tag all 4 healers and back to Jad. If they heal him to full they respawn.

• 💡 Iron: 61 Ranged (Rune crossbow), 70 HP, 43 Prayer is enough. A Hunters' sunlight crossbow for everything but Jad speeds things up a lot.
• 💡 To pause, log out on wave 61 (not 62): click logout once and finish the wave. On return, quick prayer before closing the dialogue.
• 💡 The level 45 Tz-Kek on wave 3 marks where Jad will spawn (south of the Italy rock is ideal); if it is bad, leave and restart.
