Bull sharks are monsters that can be found in the Western Ocean and Ardent Ocean. The player may be assigned to kill them as a bounty task starting at 30 Sailing. A guaranteed bounty task can be received from Musa Point.

Any boat with an adamant keel or better will not take any damage from bull sharks.

Locations

The most convenient place to kill bull sharks is just east of Hosidius, as they are found in a multicombat area. The only other sharks found in multicombat are south-east of the Fortis Colosseum, but they are further from a dock than the Hosidius sharks are from Port Piscarilius.
