Learning Zamorak with Terrible DPS and Bad Mechanics Handling (Sub 100% Full Kill) | RS3 Guide 

Amazing to hear. If you're almost foodless now it means 1. You're doing it better than me LOL, and 2. You've really gotten used to the mechanics. It sounds like you could try 50% enrage for the slightly better droprates, and maybe see how you feel about 100 soon... Tbh though I still haven't seen anyone do 100% with a setup that deals less than 450k dpm.

Thank you, appropriate being that the "Lord of Chaos" is an extremely chaotic fight haha. It helps me learn and remember well if I know why something needs to be done. Happy it helps others too!

Good luck! 👍

I've thought about doing a Necro guide for this, but haven't gotten around to trying it myself first. Still on my list though. To answer your questions: 1. Deflect Melee is needed to not take a ton of damage during the black smoke attack because he hits you very fast multiple times for heavy Melee damage. Walking under him is to "soak up" the black smoke because the less smoke is out, the less damage you take from the second mechanic of this attack (the timer above your head runs out and you get hit with a typless damage explosion on you). It's a confusing one tbh because there are multiple things to deal with in one mechanic. 2. The pad order is up for a lot of discussion, and its a matter of any order you activate them sucks, so you try to find the order that sucks the least. It's true that activating the fist pad first will give him the biggest raw damage boost, but generally speaking it's worse to have the other pads build up more stacks by activating them first instead. Like I said this is flexible to your own experimentation. Btw, if you want to try 100+ enrage eventually, the order of the stacks in the pads is flipped for Phase 7, so everything changes again there. This is also a very complex mechanic lol.

Haven't tried it, but I'm sure that would be the case since you skip over tiles.

No. You take less damage for each stack. Each smoke adds 1% piercing damage. Just Dive right next to him when he starts that attack

The smoke doesn't track you until he hits the ground with his wings. So you can dive right next to him and get the lowest damage from the explosion.

@tvdvd8661 good point, didn't even think to get on him before the smoke comes out. Ty!

Good point, updated!

Yeah Zammy is pretty fair
