In this video we take on a Zuk encounter and go for a flawless run, you don't need to get a flawless run to earn yourself a cape, you just need to do it in a single attempt, so no banking or dieing allowed. But I took the oppurtunity to show how to do the challenges with Necromancy regardless.
Necromancy is probably the most fun style in Runescape, atleast in my opinion, and it's got such a versatile and powerful kit that it's a blast to play in so many scenarios. But the Zuk cape is required to unlock it's full potential by turning Death Skulls from an expensive "meh" to a powerhouse. - Hry

just wanna let you know, this guide is better than any other out there and makes every difficult part much easier to understand how to get this cape for someone that has no idea what to expect going in. i've spent time trying to watch The RS Guy, and many others vids and while they are nice and detailed, they have a certain way of i guess making it more confusing than it needs to be.
Thank you, that means a lot to hear and I'm glad to hear it was helpful for you!
I agree 100% RS Guy's guide is really detailed but I can't help but feel he is still talking in a mode only the top 0.001% of players can comprehend and internalize where as this guide feels more natural and easy for me to follow. well done!
Pro tip for the first challenge. Bring a combat dummy mk2 and place it as soon as Zuk drags you into the circle. Target the dummy, threads of fate, weapon spec, and 4/5 of the little exploders should die instantly.
Great tip, it does make this easier and is especially useful for the hard mode version.
Thank you for this! So concise and to the point, only the important info, love it. I have 10 zuk kills but was never able to do it without dying, gonna give it a shot with Necro
Now this is the guide that resonated with me. Your demeanor and clear message really help a ton! Hope to get that first kill! Irongang!
thank you, this is just what i needed, when i go to try zuk one of these days i'll be referring back to this
Literally planning on doing it today. Thank you for posting!
Just what i needed, literally planned on doing it today with necromancy.
Good luck!
@@yopyop5546 thanks, gonna do it here soon, grabbing the death ward relic now.
Same, gl!
Best guide. I'm not even nervous to try it anymore because of how simple you made this seem!
Thank you for this guide. Got my first Zuk cape for Necromancy. :)
This is the best guide and style of boss guide on CZcams.
Well done. One of the cats is going to be using this to get her Zuk cape today!
Finally got my Necro Zuk cape after using this guide thank you so much!
great guide, will be trying this for sure, thankyou.
Solid guide, I'm gunna try it out when I get home today!
The guide I needed, I was so afraid of doing Zuk, and they soon nerfed AD, which for me, made impossible to survive some challenges. Thank you! Necro looks amazing do deal with by the looks of it.
ty for this video because im gonna be jumping into this right away
You made this look so easy! Let’s see if I can get it 2nd or 3rd try lol. Loving that necromancy made this more accessible
Got it on 2nd try (first try sober haha) Tyvm for a simple good guide! 🙏🏼
ty been away for years very easy to understand this well done mate
Defeated zuk for the first and second time today. Didn't get the igneous because of a wild fluke on pizza phase but got a scripture of ful on my 2nd ever kill. Very nice thanks a lot. Necro with execute is the way to go for sure
Dude you made zuk look so easy. Thank you very much! My nerves needed this lmao
Thanks just got my first Zuk cape with necromancy!
Thx, I’m convinced to try with necro tomorrow
Thankyou! I guess I should finally give it a go!
As someone who's been struggling on my iron with pizza DPS since I don't have Gconc, this was really, really helpful in getting my first stone. Thank you so much, love the content and especially love the stuff you've been putting out for Necro!
you don't need gconc
@@Atameow True but that would've been my biggest upgrade. I had a Gstaff EOF but was lacking most other upgrades. I could get the kill about 50% of the time, but it was really just coming down to getting lucky higher hits on the ranger. With Necro I was consistently waiting to begin moving to the next igneous, it's a lot more consistent with a lot less gear upgrades needed.
Gconc is seriously overrated. It's good but it's hardly make or break.

Great guide! You sir have earned a sub!
Thanks for the video. Going to give this method a go tonight. It’s a shame that you can’t do a practice mode just on the Zuk final fight and not all of the waves
So consice - zero BS. Love it. thanks
You earned a sub & like my dude I just done it took 33mins but got my cape now :)
Thanks for the help. I was able to get my cape! (I'm horrible at PvM too lol)
great guide, thanks!
🙌awesome guide thank you
great video you earned yourself a sub
Feels like I need more details with some of the waves :-) first wave with Jad is pretty damaging. Getting hit pretty hard, almost dying before I get rid of Jad. Not sure what I am doing wrong but will keep trying.
First fire cape 10 days ago (4 runs before getting it), fight kiln one 5 days ago (2.5 runs, forgot my melee weapon with the first one 😅). Zuk is going to take me more attempts than for the previous 2 capes 😂
Finally, a comment that resembles me! I can't seem to do the high damage everyone is talking about unless I have full adrenaline which I never seems to have. I guess if you don't damage Zuk enough before a challenge round, you have to redo the Igneous round and that got rid of a lot of my food. But the thing I can't seem to manage at all is the pizza round. I can't get off the fire area quickly enough. Sigh. I too will keep trying. Cheers. 🙂
I'm same, fight kiln was a big enough step that zuk is terrifing 😅, first run my auto retal dragged me in front of jad and I died. I have along way to go
@@jimmymc1188keep taking advantage of free deaths and potions. That's what I'm doing. I probably died 15 times on the first Jad wave, until I changed from the SE corner to the NW corner. That made all the difference. I'm currently at Zuk and getting squished and burned really quick. I'm back at the video to watch again (and again and again) what to do next
I see you only had two abilities revo, did you have a standard 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, repeat rotation of other abilities or just button mash?
One thing i noticed during the waves is that you didn't have your conjures up much. You can summon them (and command the ghost) for free after killing a mob, but before targeting a new one. The zombies aoe damage in particular is very good at the waves, since everything can be poisoned.
Yeah that's a good observation, I intentionally did this without "abusing" that bug/mechanic because it's not clear to me whether or not it's intended and if it gets fixed I didn't want it to invalidate the run/video. I've been utilising it a lot at zamorak (being the witch killer as necro gives you new summons every pad for free) but it feels like it's due a fix at some point.
thanks! i did it! only died like 15 times and took me 3 days. got u allot of vieuws just by myself lol
Made it look so easy! Here's a like bud.
You can do the third challenge without turtling or a shield swap. You can use your bone shield with resonance for the first attack and barricade for the second. This is more difficult to pull off because it requires two well-timed actions and 100% adrenaline.
You skipped wave 6 with Jad? He keeps one hitting me with some fireball and I don't know what to do.
Prayer works 100% on jad same as fight caves/kiln, same animations as well. If jad is firing at you then you need to match his attack to not take like 80% of your health (stomp is ranged, hind leg fireball is mage).
What is that attack you do where the big blue pillar hits them?
This looks tough! How much of it can I get away with deathtouch darting 😂
Is this possible to do on full revo? And then click the abilities manually when needed (stun, threshold, finger of death etc.) ?
You can very comfortably throw touch of death, soul sap and skeleton warrior into revo, this leaves volley, finger, death skulls and the other 2 conjures to be manually cast. It would be possible to revo further by including volley and finger but you would lose a fair bit of agency over your resources by doing so, and would likely feel adrenaline starved. However, it would get the job done, the main problem would be ensuring you have the adrenaline available to threshold the ranger in pizza time.
@@krityaRS alrighty, when I’m ready I’ll try an just revo the first few abilities you said so I’m not lacking adrenaline throughout the fight. Thanks so much man. Guide is very good and I’ll be using it to try an get all 4 igneous stones.
i cleared the first challenge for the first time every. i think once im in the right mindset for this i might actually be able to get my first zuk kill...
Does Bloat work for the Igneous Xil's?
Based on Mod Ryan's post here (and that the other abilities he mentioned were fixed to work on the Xils) www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/15n16db/comment/jvkhjqu/?context=3 I would wager that Bloat would work for the Xils, however I haven't tested it myself.
tyty :)
Barricade with the **farseer kiteshild** from the low-end dungeoneering rewards shop gets me through the third challenge almost* every time.
No turtling, no dinosaur farm perks, just the plain shield.
*I say almost because on my most recent run at Zuk, my barricade failed halfway through the challenge and it ended up triggering my Anachronia Defense cape. I don't know how or why, because my strategy is 1. resonance the first hit, 2. barricade, and 3. take the time to breathe and relax, so I wasn't paying attention to what happened. I don't think the timer ran out, but it's possible so I felt I should mention it
Barricade was bugged after necro release
I did it!
Got past the pizza phase twice in literal dozens of attempts, and shit the bed both times. Reckon i've died from just about every mechanic that can kill you. Learning manual pvm, necro and Zuk is harrdd
You don't actually need to clear Zuk's 50k before the challenge wave in one go to get a flawless run. You just need to beat the challenges themselves.
Tried Zuk with necro. Only got to him twice but every time it felt like he just outdamages any healing I can do. I straight chug brews and he just rails me. Couldn't even tell what was going on mechanically cause I was panicking spamming brews to live.
Are you using Soul Split or Reflect Melee? You should be using reflect melee so his hits do less than 2k.
After like 50 attempts i finally killed Zuk... yall make this look way too easy lol. Im just a mess
how do you make your buff icons bigger??? i need that so bad
In settings, under interfaces -> buff bar you can change the icon size, this is using the large icons
what ability did u use at the end to clear out 40k health 0.0
Death mark (applied by t90 power gear or the invoke death incantion) is an execute with a cap of 30k, so once he falls below 30k with that applie he instantly dies.
How did you still have 100% adren after living death?
i only have 1 surge. will that be a problem for me sir?
No, just use anticipation before pizza phase and run to minion 1. Kill minion 1 and get ready to run to minion 2. Kill minion 2 or mostly damage minion 2. Surge to minion 3, break minion 3 bubble and then thread of fate minion 2 & 3 + wep spec once they are within 4 tiles of each other.
2 surges helps but 1 is totally fine
Please tell me what you mean by ‘weapon spec’ I’ve tried this thing about 30 times I can’t do it
The t70+ death guard has a weapon spec called death grasp, in order to use it there's a constitution ability for weapon specs
@@krityaRS thanks where do I enable this spec I don’t think I’ve been using it
Your power gear is the T90 one?
This was done with mostly t80 gear as I was still in the process of getting plates for t90.
@@krityaRS thank you so much :3
I have t90 necro armour and weapons but I barely can do 50k damage to zuk in the special waves even though I used weap special and volley. I also ran out of food way to fast pre special wave 2
Same I have tried this thing about 50 times I can’t do it
Have you tried this with t95 armor set yet?
I have only done runs with base power gear and no zuk cape so far. Considering that was enough to beat my ranged PR with an SGB, I imagine T95 necro will smoke this place.
@@krityaRS Thanks for the reply Kritya, I shall finally accomplish this!
nice video. still scared
Fury of the small I don't think works for Necromancy cause the basic attacks aren't actually classified as basic attacks
The basic attacks aren't affected as they aren't basic abilities, but it gives a bit more adren from soul sap and touch of death.
how does he hits you under 1k each hit? in my runs he does 1k+ in melee damage even if i have the protect melee pray and thats what is keeping me from killing him because i have to eat food every time and mess up with the defensive skills because he does a lot of damage on autos
Melee Prayer + Obsidian Boots with Donation is what I had here, I should have also had darkness up but I forgot to refresh it.
@@krityaRS thanks for the tip. the obsidian piece is helping a lot but i had an obsidian helm instead do you think i loose a lot of dps by using it?
There's no necromancy helm, while the boots are hybrid and therefore don't affect your accuracy. Running an offstyle helm would lose you dps against anything that you don't have 100% accuracy on with it.
@@krityaRS i did it!! thank you very much your tips really helped a lot
Holy hell the skill ceiling for a zuk run is so high. Finally got my lava cape with necro, but yeah no zuk cape for me until they nerf all of these sweatloard bosses...
You think i can pull this with tear 80 power?
I had mostly t80 power on with a couple of t90 so yeah I'd say it's doable.
Just checking, did you know the infernal puzzle box upgrade gets you passive persistant rage?
Persistent rage was changed and buffed! It doesnt just stall adrenaline for you now, it regenerates it when not in combat so you will go back to 100 between fights (which also means you could leave one mob alive at the end of each wave if you wanted and persistent rage into regeneration cycle to full health for the cost of some time if you wanted to)
@@CreativeExcusesGaming woah, okay I must’ve missed the memo on that buff, Thanks!
i do perfectly fine no food whatsoever until zuk pizza phase then i just die im getting so pissed off..ive spent like 30m in supplies
i got my first zuk kill with this video but had to do 2 pizza phases and didnt get stone first kill trying again here shortly i think i got this
Update did 2 more runs failed the second during a 2nd pizza phase soul strike mistake. 3rd run I got a perfect run :)
Congrats on the cape! It took me a few attempts to get a flawless run when I went for my first cape also.
@@krityaRS thanks man I wound up doing 2 more after for range and mage cape wasn't in a rush for melee haha
why not just use bone shield instead of bringing a shield? swapping to a shield removes conjures but i loved the guide
Because you need turtling perk
The shield level and turtling perk are both required to increase the duration of barricade. It's only used for that challenge and you don't need to DPS during that challenge so losing your conjures is no worry.
Are you taking the dino totem into account for that?@@krityaRS
i hate this boss. been trying for weeks just to get one stone on any combat and I just cant mechanically beat this.
You never said what level necromancy you recommend and what actual level gear you used thanks for guide hope to someday get a Zuk kill
Good point! For someone who's never done zuk before it probably makes sense to go for this after getting t90 weapons, the gwd2 bosses are a bit easier than this and that'd also give access to very good tank armour. If you've run it before or feel confident then it should be doable with t80, but I probably wouldn't recommend doing it with t70.
still trying to get used to all the abilities
Still incredibly difficult if you dont have 1000 hours in pvm. I understood maybe 30 seconds of the entire video
Note to self, Zuk fight starts at 10:04
What about the cape before it?
I did the cape before it with no prior experience and much worse stuff than he's using in this video and it was easy peasy. The only issue is mobs that need melee attack to break their armour, so bring a melee wep or melee familiar for them. I used sailfish for food, but barely ate any because the ghost heals so much and normal T90 necro gear.
Can u do it for me if i give you my pass? Ill pay 10m
dude this fight is so impossible. the fight and not revo necromancy
easy stuff isnt fun thats why i did it with ranged
Why can't there be guides for someone who doesn't have all this stuff?
None of this stuff is hard to get.
