Kurask OSRS Slayer Guide

Old School RuneScape (OSRS) presents players with some of the most fearsome and challenging Slayer monsters, and Kurask OSRS is no exception. Without the necessary Slayer level and specialized gear, dealing any damage to these creatures is impossible. As a result, many players find themselves struggling against Kurask, but with the right strategy and equipment, you can farm them efficiently.

Kurask requires specific weapons and a solid game plan to take down effectively. These monsters have unique resistances, and if you’re unprepared, you’ll find yourself wasting time and resources. To make your journey smoother, we’ve put together this comprehensive Kurask OSRS Slayer guide to help you dominate these creatures with ease.

Should You Kill Kurask?

Before you take on Kurask, you may be wondering if it’s even worth your time.

The answer is a resounding yes! They provide a reliable source of both experience points (XP) and gold points (GP). However, higher-level players who are well into the late game may find better alternatives for earning XP and GP more efficiently.

That said, Kurask OSRS is the only monster that drops the Leaf-bladed Battleaxe, a powerful weapon effective against Turoths and other creatures. Farming Kurask is also an efficient and relatively low-risk method of earning GP per hour while utilizing either melee or ranged combat styles.

Stats Requirement To Kill Kurask

To take on Kurask OSRS, you’ll need the following skill levels:

• Slayer Level: 70
  • A Slayer level of 70 is required to attack Kurask. Once you reach this level, you should have the necessary skills to handle them without too much difficulty.
• Prayers: 43
  • A Prayer level of 43 is only necessary if you choose the melee approach. If your defense is high enough, you may not need to use Protect from Melee. However, since Kurask can hit hard, it’s recommended to use this Prayer to mitigate damage.
• Quest: Song of the Elves
  • This quest is only needed if you plan to farm Kurask in the Iorwerth Dungeon. Otherwise, there are no quest requirements to slay Kurask in other locations.

Melee Gear Setup

If you opt for a melee setup, the following gear is recommended for efficiently farming Kurask OSRS:

Weapon Choice:

• The only weapons that deal damage to Kurask are Leaf-Bladed weapons. The best option is the Leaf-Bladed Battleaxe, but since it’s a drop from Kurask, you may not have it available on your first encounter.
• Alternative weapons include the Leaf-Bladed Spear (purchasable from Slayer Masters) and the Leaf-Bladed Sword (dropped by Turoths).

Recommended Melee Gear:

• Slayer Helm
• Fire Cape
• Amulet of Torture
• Leaf-Bladed Axe
• Bandos Armour
• Avernic Defender
• Ferocious Gloves
• Primordial Boots
• Berserker Ring

Ranged Gear Setup

For a ranged approach, you won’t need as much defensive gear since you can safe-spot Kurask. Using Broad Bolts and Broad Arrows is essential for dealing damage.

Recommended Ranged Gear:

• Slayer Helm
• Ava’s Accumulator
• Amulet of Glory
• Broad Bolts
• Rune Crossbow
• Black D’hide Body
• Karil’s Leatherskirt
• Zamorak D’hide Boots
• Barrows Gloves
• Ring of Dueling

If you’re in the late game, you may want to farm XP elsewhere, such as Gargoyle slayers, rather than spending high-tier gear on Kurask.

Inventory Setup

Your inventory should include teleportation items, loot collection sacks, potions, and food.

Recommended Inventory Items:

• Slayer Ring/Fairy Ring
• House Teleport
• Herb Sack
• Rune Pouch
• Seed Box
• Bone Crusher
• Ranged Boosting Potions
• Food

Kurask Location

Kurask can be found in two locations:

1. Fremennik Slayer Dungeon (Rellekka Slayer Caves): Located southeast of Rellekka. You can reach it via Slayer Ring teleport or the Fairy Ring system using the code “A J R.”
2. Iorwerth Dungeon: Accessible only after completing the Song of the Elves quest. Kurask in this dungeon have an additional drop—Crystal Shards (1/24 rarity).

Killing Strategy

Ranged Strategy:

• Stand behind a rock in the Slayer-only part of the cave and attack from a safe distance.
• As long as you remain positioned correctly, Kurask won’t be able to retaliate.

Melee Strategy:

• Stand in the center of the cave and attack multiple Kurask at once.
• If you don’t have Protect from Melee active, ensure you bring enough food for healing.
• Melee farming is generally faster than ranged but requires more risk management.
