Combat Strategy

When facing General Graardor, it's crucial to employ the right combat strategy. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Protection Prayers:
   • Before entering the boss room, activate Protect from Missiles or Protect from Melee, depending on the minions you encounter.
2. Luring Minions:
   • General Graardor is accompanied by three bodyguards: Sergeant Strongstack, Sergeant Steelwill, and Sergeant Grimspike. Lure them away from General Graardor to engage them separately.
3. Attacking General Graardor:
   • Once the minions are separated, focus on attacking General Graardor with your best melee or ranged attacks.
   • Deal damage while simultaneously prioritizing staying alive by sipping Saradomin Brews and using protection prayers.
4. Managing Special Attacks:
   • General Graardor has two special attacks: Ranged projectile and Melee area-of-effect slam.
   • When you see the ranged attack animation, move away to avoid being hit. For the melee slam, it's best to use the "Protect from Melee" prayer.
5. Prayer and Potion Management:
   • Regularly monitor your Prayer points and restore them with Prayer Potions when necessary.
   • Sip Saradomin Brews and Super Restores as needed to maintain your Hitpoints and stat levels.
6. Killing Minions:
   • Once General Graardor falls below 50% health, he will start healing himself while calling for reinforcements.
   • Focus on killing the minions first, as they can be dangerous if left unchecked.
7. Finishing Off General Graardor:
   • Resume attacking General Graardor once the minions are dealt with.
   • Continue the battle, managing your resources until General Graardor is defeated.
