Kurask can be assigned as a Slayer task by various medium and high levelled Slayer masters upon reaching 70 Slayer and 65 combat level.

Kurask are found in the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon, the Iorwerth Dungeon after completing Song of the Elves, and in the Kurask Lair on Laguna Aurorae with 58 Sailing. In the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon, there is also a separate task-only area. There are two 3D models for kurask, normal and big, but this is merely a cosmetic difference as there is no difference in stats.

Kurask attack with somewhat inaccurate crush attacks that can hit up to 11. Protect from Melee will negate all their damage. For players with at least 75 Defence, there is a viable strategy to not pray against them, and instead collect their bones and occasionally cast Bones to Peaches (unlocked from the Mage Training Arena) to restore health at a significantly lower cost at the expense of moderately more attention required.

The king kurask is the superior version of the kurask unlocked with Bigger and badder. It has no special mechanics, but is significantly more accurate and has a max hit of 33. If players are using the Bones to Peaches strategy, it is advised to turn on Protect from Melee and bring at least one prayer potion in case the superior spawns.

They are weakest to stab, ranged, and magic attacks, but similarly to turoth, kurask have the leafy attribute, meaning they can only be damaged with leaf-bladed weapons (the leaf-bladed sword, battleaxe, and spear), broad-tipped ammunition (broad bolts and arrows), or the spell Magic Dart. All other weapons, spells, and other sources of damage, including cannons and thralls, will not deal any damage. However, the special attacks of the Saradomin godsword, ancient godsword, and toxic blowpipe will heal the player as if the attack performed its rolled damage. The set effect of Guthan's equipment will not activate.

Kurask can be a profitable task, as they frequently drop weapons and armour suitable for High Level Alchemy, as well as the requisite nature runes. Players should bring an herb sack as kurask always drop three herbs when they roll the herb drop table. They also drop seeds, worthwhile quantities of coins, and valuable noted stacks of white berries, big bones, coconuts, and papaya fruit. Kurask in the Iowerth Dungeon also additionally drop crystal shards. King Kurask there will always drop crystal Shards.

Common setups

Kurasks are weakest to stab, although slash is still better with the leaf-bladed battleaxe due to it having a much higher max hit and the kurask only having slightly higher slash defence. Praying Protect from Melee will negate all damage from kurask. If players have Bigger and Badder unlocked, king kurask may spawn during kurask tasks, but have no additional mechanics.

  1. ^ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Inquisitor's is usually higher DPS than Torva if using a crush weapon
  2. ^ If these do not increase the player's max hit you can wear proselyte when praying Piety.
  3. ^ Only if praying against damage.
  4. ^ Kurask drop coins frequently, if a player wishes to pay less attention they can wear a ring of wealth to automatically pick up coin drops.

Kurask possess a very low magic level whilst having no magic defence bonuses, this allows for Magic Dart to be used to high effect. Equipment should be prioritised for magic damage bonus and prayer.

  1. ^ Significantly boosts the strength of Magic Dart
  2. ^ Kurask drop coins frequently. If a player wishes to pay less attention, they can wear a ring of wealth to automatically pick up coin drops.
