! *Me referring to this boss as easy, simply means easier than before. I get that it's still a challenge for people who have never done it before, it is a big step up from other content!* !
Darkness now lasts 12 minutes (patched/improved)!
I know a lot of people are asking for boss specific guides and I will cover a lot of relevant bosses within time. Understand that I'm exploring Necromancy combat just as you are, while making my way to 120. I intend to make Necromancy boss experience videos and later down the line detailed guides (or something in between like this). Necromancy is fresh and thus dedicating a lot of time to a detailed boss guide straight away might be a bad idea. I expect ability changes/new ability introductions to come this year
Thanks for the Clarification, I already have my Hybrid Cape from before but I may grind HM for a change now, this video was truly inspirational because I want to prove I'm a worthy necromancer now haha.
Oh so it is a skill issue. (For me) Nex was fun to solo after I set up a bloodphase bar.
btw, the death grasp special from the craftable weapons also applies a stun, so if soul strike is on cooldown, that is an option too.
god to know ty@@sdfE36
wow thank you! very helpful. @@sdfE36
Putting the icon for each ability and incantation as you speak about them is a greatly appreciated edit.
It helps with recognition.
The extra effort is noticed and greatly appreciated.
while it does make it faster having the icon there you will be more likely to remember the ability if you have to look it up and what it does.
quick fyi, bone shield works for all styles, so as long as you've got the runes you'll never have to swap to a shield again, even with melee/ranged/mage
A couple other things to keep in mind:
1) Death Skulls hits multiple targets, as does the scythe and soul strike. It also bounces 2 more times and only costs 60% adrenaline with the zuk cape.
2) You want to make sure to use Death Skulls and touch of Death before you activate Living Death, as upon activating it, it takes Death Skulls and ToD off cooldown, so you can use them again.
3) while in Living Death, you want to abuse Finger of Death and Death Skulls as much as possible, as FoD does 1.5x damage (along with 2 necrosis stacks per "auto" attack), and Death Skulls has a 12s cooldown.
4) if you have the Invigorating on your armor, the autos will generate extra adrenaline. (Especially useful during LD, as you build necrosis stacks for FoD and generate adrenaline for DS)
Take my thumbs up mr shlippi
@@ProtoxxGaming when are you going to teach me how to do HM Zuk?
Boys i did this boss a year ago on 300 dollar laptop 10 dollar mouse from walmart and piece of cardboard i cut out for the mouse took me 9 days
Ill let you guys now how it goes after not playing for a year and attempting it again for the necro bis cape
Everyone saying Zuk is easy now but I'm still struggling. I just saw this video right after I logged off after dying to him a couple of times... This boss really is my arch-nemesis :')
I'm part of those people saying it's easy with necromancy, but I've killed this boss plenty of times already. What I really mean is that it's now "easier" than before.
It's still a challenge for people new to the boss.
Keep going! I just successfully did my first cape run today after idk how many deaths. I did it with mage, but tempted to try another run tomorrow with necro.
I’m terrible at this game, if I can do it so can you 😛
Same her I'm at tier 90 and get my ass kicked.
Same
Pro tip for the first challenge. Bring a combat dummy mk2, and place it as soon as Zuk drags you. Target the dummy, threads of fate and weapon spec, and 4/5 of the explodey boys should die instantly.
And here i am. Strugeling to even get enough adrenaline to summon a conjour beside the skeleton. I really suck at combat in this game, so much its starting to not be fun anymore.
There's lots of "know it and then you'll benefit" things in this game. Too many. I reckon all you need is some ability logic, something a beginners necro combat guide could teach you in 10-15 minutes and then after an hour of practice you'll be doing so much better. I'll get one out in the near future.
As a tip: Your goal shouldn't be too constantly summon all your conjures in combat, the adren cost is too high. Summon them before a fight when you're out of combat as that's when there's 0 adren cost. Occasionally you'll summon conjures during a fight depending on the boss but your regular abilities deal so much more damage.
it's not your fault, this game is designed in such a way where you kinda must predict everything you and the enemy gonna do and be couple steps ahead, you wanna use the basics on auto and the specials manually so that you can decide when you wanna save up adren or not
I put the basic attack on Z and just spam that if I need to gain some extra adren.. Also, you can summon the ghost and zombie for free if you don't have a target.. You can actually gain the benefit from that in combat if you time it right as soon as your current target dies and before you auto-retaliate to get a new target
in case people may not know, the t70-90 weapon spec is also a stun
I didn't even notice the weapon HAD a special ='(
Your weapon spec is also a stun btw.
Ah! Good shout
:)
Loving all this Zuk content from everyone right as I'm getting ready to do it. Thank you!
"Tuskal zuk" lmao turn on game music and listen to the intro
The T and S are silent, "kal zuk".
Love you bud, keep up the great content
Its even one of my fav songs yet I keep saying tuskal zuk 💀🤣
I would really like to see a necromancy zuk guide!
5:50 The bone shield review jolted me out of my high level pvm stupor and reminded me that because this is a new skill even basic things I thought everyone knew by now are still relevant for folks who are otherwise prepared to discuss integrated ability and attack concepts
Just letting you know you cancelled your death skulls early on zuk before you phased him (before challenge wave 3) and also against Har-akken. If you move outside the 5 tile range it stops.
Living death makes me wish for alternate ults. The one in game boosts necrosis stack gameplay. Another one that doubles your max soul stacks and doubles the soul gain on siphon soul and scythe, and gives the auto attack a soul gaining effect (imagine a 10 souls dump with the rasial weapons), or another one that buffs your conjures would be so much fun.
Good idea
Sounds awesome! I hope they implement ideas like that in future content
Lets hope more ultis are added this year.
There's a farm dinosaur that can boost barricade duration. It should make it much easier to work with that last special wave.
Malletops perk (ranch out of time), yup. If it was a full guide i'd have mentioned it.
I finally done it and got the cape thanks for the video :)
Well done ^^!
still struggling to get the urge to do necro... I got to level 50 doing all the weird bullshit before doing even a bit of combat with it, it seems so tedious to gear through and I cant be bothered :( that being said im a noob at pvm so its not like I would be great at it
ur doing it wrong... or i could be wrong, but i did some combat before 50, i think the wiki has updated leveling guide.
@@VictorGarcia-er2iv I haven’t looked at any leveling guides honestly but it’s been okay now lol, after I got 80 and my t80 I just afked combat with aggro pots and I got to 103. Not really sure if it’s worth going for 120 though? People have mixed opinions on it from what I’ve asked
I was doing Fight Kiln for the Kiln cape yesterday with just 75 Necromancy and it was really very easy. The sustain with that ghost is great!
I did it woth t90!gear and still needed ring of death and a cut scene to save me haha
Let it be known, that Bone Shield is usable with other combat styles. I have no clue if this is a bug or not, but I've been able to benefit from it, as long as I have necro runes in my bag
Probably not as Disruption Shield is usable by all styles as well.
Don't forget: blood siphon heals a bonkers amount of hp. So before fighting zuk, dive into the middle of a group of foes and get all that health back. Even if you take more damage than animate cryptbloom, you have a direct lifesteal ability that can take you from null to full.
you mean before fighting zuk as in before each challenge wave? you shouldnt need to heal as you can just throw on SS during zuk and heal back to full before each challenge wave.
@blairwilliam8791 What I mean is during the trash mob waves you can heal from any large group swarming you. Easiest on the melee ones or any wave you can effectively kite.
Ooh, passive ring of vigour. I like.
unlocked from the "extinction" quest btw
5:35 on the last challenge phase you can use resonance,devotion(pray the correct styles), then disruption shield. As long as you have 15% adrenaline you're ok(with limitless)
Or you just barricade with turtling 4
Could you consider doing a new solo bossing tier list including necromancy? I feel like some bosses were made a lot easier with necromancy, particularly kalphite king.
Holy moly that aoe weapon spec is nuts.
I failed this yesterday with fsoa, today I will succeed as a necrolord
Beautiful!! Exactly the info I was wondering about ty so much I might actually get my first cape now
If you have ghost active with it's command and a skeleton warrior, that 50k zuk damage can be done by literally basic attacking with your summons on him. So easy
I believe the Special Attack of your t70+ weapons will also Stun, in case you don’t have a soul but you do have adrenaline.
I hope the amount of videos being uploaded don’t get necromancy nerfed to the ground. Like they did with animate dead and fractured staff of armadyl.
the special attack of the regular necro weapon set is also a stun so you have 2 stuns and you don't need a soul for that attack
perfect timing I was going to try Zuk for the first time today
Amazing video!
There is also another stun in weapon special attack btw
Beautiful video as always ❤
I died trying the res, barricade combo. Not sure if i mistimed it but my cade ran out. I think greater bone shield is a must.
You have to activate barricade just as the second one is about to hit you. Barricade can be extended with the malletops player owned farm perk as well (add a farm totem to a malletops pen)
Otherwise just bring a shield with the turtling perk to make it easier
Quick reminder: bone shield works with every style as long as you have the runes for it. (Just used reso with my botlg and my braincells went poof!)
TzKal-Zuk: The unworthy will burn.
World Guardian: Like... you?
EDIT: Drink super restores while affected by the "Searing Pain" debuff? *NO!* You move 15 squares to get rid of the debuff, and *THEN* drink your super restores! You're just wasting them otherwise! 🤣
im so dumb, i kept wondering what the hell is necromancy's stun besides deaths grasp because that didnt seem feasible for the first igneous wave and you reminded me soul strike exists lmao.
this is what i was waiting for
i did my first zuk for the cape on necro cause im loving necro so much
Would you say t90 necromancy gear is "required" to make Zuk's Challenge easier? Like, would t80 necromancy gear be viable?
Not required. T80 would do alright. T90 weapons (not armour) would help a ton though
I’m managing to make it Zuk maybe not be the most efficient way but it works. I also used his checkpoint to practice and managed to kill him. Tried again for the igneous stone but messed up on his quake attack a few times even though I swear I surged when his sword hit the ground.
I imagine the 30k death mark is strong.
I did zuk for my first time a few days ago!
Im honestly burning way more food during some of the normal mob waves, and i took so much damage from haraken... zuk himself was surprisingly easy though.
Only took me 2 attempts. But I had a yak full of sara flasks, and only ended with 2 and a half left, lol.
Came here for the revo bar, no revo bar :c
a spell/incantation that act like a shield for a long time so dont need to switch to a shield??? that is POG! (not started necro yet)
I just did this fight with necro the night before this video dropped and I have to agree with you. Necromancy is proving to be extremely powerful, perhaps even OP.
My only precaution is the the 2nd challenge wave relies HEAVILY on necrosis stacks, so be sure to go in with 12.
Dumb question but... I didn't know weapons still had a special attack, I know some had before EOC but, where are these special attacks and how do I activate them?
Constitution tab, image looks like a sword.
Go to ur HP bar abilities tab and there is a special ability icon that you should find there. It looks like a sword and I personally have it binded to my Y key. There’s actually a necklace that lets u store spec weaps just for that purpose but that’s called an Essence of Finality. Cheers homie

Sugestion for a goofy video: Beat the best boss you can with a melee/magic/ranged main hand combat style + necromancer lantern.
Keeping this one on the ideas list 🙏🏻
beware of organized gangstalking !!!!
I don't play rs any more, but necro looks extremely over powered with some of its abilities
Right? It has launched with pretty much the entire tool kit from every other skill which all take expensive upgrades (like gchain etc), it's crazy. I just hope they don't nerf it into the ground before I get a chance to max it out and try to get good with the high level gear, it has me so keen to improve at pvm
Really dumb question. I’ve always just used revolver bars and not learned what all of the abilities are but I’ve been working the last few weeks to figure it all out. But what ability is the one I keep seeing in these videos that has the massive beam that comes from above?
It's confirmed that treads of fate will be buffed. I will wait the buff to use try zuk
I hope they don't nerf this, at least not until after I've leveled necromancy, upgraded my gear, learned the boss, and done it enough times for the capes. After needing all that, it doesn't seem unbalanced to me.
Bro I can't get passed 45 seconds in this fight or any other boss 😢 I don't know what crack you guys pot up with before a fight but I'd gladly pay for a whif
what level would you recommend getting your ignious stone at? I olny got 3 before but it feels like t80 weapons and t85 hybrid would be way harder than bolg for the fourth stone?
i would say the guide helped, but i don't understand how to deal with zuk at all no matter how much i watch it good guide though either way
ive seen people do 9k damage with Threads of Fate but 6 time so far ive only done 2k damage with it.
Har aken is easy to one cycle using t90 mage weapons using sunshine. You don’t need an fsoa rotation.
Is this doable without persistent rage or similiar adrenaline maintaining benefits?
I have full Tier 95 Necromancy Gear with BiS Perks apart from Aftershock. I don’t have curses not ancient unlocked, i’am probably one of the top ranking players as per having the highest Total Level with the Least amount of Quest Points lol. The reason I bought T95 weapons and equipment is because I couldn’t be bothered to do all relative quests to unlock Fairy Rings which is a requirement to get T90 Necromancy Tank armor lol.
Could you do a guide for non pvmers that just want the stone? using revolution and such
If you are sporting the T95s, you can EOF the tier70 weapon for an extra spec that only costs 25% adrenaline.
You can also use Bloat for the threshold igneous.
On HM mode, you could probably just one hit the stone with either spec easily. You’d probably want DS or Res to have finished cooling down though.
Also, putrid zombie in command form does excellent AOE if it spawns on the proper tile around enemies
The t70-90 weapon spec is also a stun.
My biggest issue is Adrenaline management.. Obviously I'm a revo user.. so I find it very difficult to time my barricade ability perfectly for the 3rd challenge.. I honestly think my best bet would be to do livid farm and get that sheild ability .. use that and resonance followed by just praying with devotion .. I refuse to manually manage minion's .. much prefer that be automatic.
Consider subscribing!
Were you using the t90 armour and weapons, or just weapons and like t70 armour?
My meta is the tank armor I use the death mark thread of fate and volley of soul all target get the death mark and will die when their health go lower 20%. While wearing tank armor and deflecting most of the damage
Only problem i forsee is needing adrene but not being able to get it up since necro sucks so bad at adrene building. Its incredibly strong though
ty for first zuk kill
Nec is absurd at Zuk. I was very close to killing Haraken without him even ducking once with t90s and 110 nec. I'm sure it's possible with some practice.
Would be interesting to see necro with soloing vorago and raids
What necklace did you use?
It may still be worth bringing a shield just because there's no way to put Turtling 4 on your bone shield to ensure you last long enough. You'd just lose your summons. Though have they fixed it to where things like the POF animal boost to barricade works?
turtling 4 has never been required even prior to the release of necromancy. just resonance the first hit and barricade the others as usual
Protoxxx 😃
Hi :)
real men dodge the third challenge hits
A more complete guide with necromancy would be amazing. Which do you think is easier to get your first stone with, this or mage?
Also, what exactly counts as a threshold in necro for the ranger? The distinction is fuzzy with this style.
I recently breezed through the Fight Kiln getting the 4 component capes, I recently tried going to Zuk to get the 4 stones needed to merge them and got slapped up hardcore. Maybe a Jad caught me off guard or something. Getting to the safe spots right after a challenge wave is difficult. How much of the knowledge from old Zuk guides is transferable?
Take this with a grain of salt as i have only completed using checkpoints but use the north west safe spot rather than the south east spot.
@@ALRDT That's what the wiki was saying, I did that and I still died.
Use dive and double surge to reposition yourself. Use devotion and reflect, don't even need to use a shield for that with necro. Heal with soul split off of stuck melee mobs. You can also soul split heal off zuk while he's immune to damage. Threads of fate > soul sap > volley of souls > finger/death guard spec to clear big stacked up packs
Why is there a beeping in the whole video??
Hi everyone, why is finger of death prefered over the weapon attack? hiting up to 30k with critical and 3 second stun sounds way better than 7-8k x2
I have try few times easy mode zuk but cant do waves with t90 tank armour. With mage I dont even use food with easy mode. Hmph
Any easier? All you do is surge and run in a circle for the actual zuk fight it is really quite easy
What weapon special attack were you using again?
does he have auto attack off?
What about this:
3 Piece Deathdealer Robes
And
2 Piece Deathwarden Robes
You get the best of both worlds this way.
the weapon spec stuns as well
Is Raksha doable with necro?
What ability is the blue lightning at 28sec at the video ?
It was him using the Threads of Fate incantation to hit up to four additional enemies within four tiles of one's main target via the basic attack, Volley of Souls, Finger of Death, etc. 😊
What's going to make Necromancy easy for those that simply can't use full manual? NOTHING
If you want click and wait ""combat"" there's always old school
@@lolbajsetThe game actually could be designed to have modes that suit different peoples playing styles and abilities. Why not just euthanize all people that don't meet certain physical and mental requirements? Hitler lives again at Jagex.
Could you show/write a good tztok jad bar. I can kill everything for the tier 90 armour but jad is a problem. (Still learning a lot) thx in advance.
What bar you use at Jad is irrelevant if you can't pray correctly
My necromancy rotation sucks...
Ah this is normal mode zuk, I already found it easy. What about Hard mode?
is there a way to make different action bars use different amounts of slots for revolution?
Unfortunately no, you need to manually change it when switch from a revo afk slayer bar to a pvm revo bar
Could you make a vid for best necro revolution bar for slay/Pvm high en mid lvl players?
I show some revo bars in my 70-99 section of my 99 guide if u want an idea. I also show two effective bars in the video released just before this one that could work in other spots.
special attack also stuns
What level was your necromancy in this vid?
Boneshield is showing an effective shield of lvl 52. Iirc greater boneshield is half of your necro, so he should be 102 at the time of the video
im having trouble at the zuk caves, mainly waves getting to him. can anyone help me some time?
what do the three blue circles under the adrealin bar actually mean?
How many souls u have with necro, which you get from using the ability Soul Sap. If u have at least 2 souls you can use volley of souls which shoots them all out for good damage
How many Necromancy Runes of each would you recommend that i make just in general like keep 50k of each in the bank or?
2k of each should last you long enough lol
I bought 10k of each but I think a couple thousand would be enough
Thank you so much i really do appriciate the input =) im very much a noob when it comes to combat atleast revolution combat so yeah XD but yeah thanks again@@JoshuuaLee
