Wyrms are draconic creatures requiring 62 Slayer in order to be harmed. Players can choose between one of three different monsters for this task: regular adult wyrms, wyrmlings, and Lava Strykewyrms.

Regular wyrms are found at Karuulm Slayer Dungeon, which requires boots of stone, boots of brimstone, or granite boots if the elite tier of the Kourend & Kebos Diary is not completed, or else the player will take rapid damage from the overheated floor. They attack with both melee and magic, with magic being used at a distance. They have a flat armour value of 1.

Wyrmlings are found in Neypotzli. Like their adult counterparts, they attack with melee and magic, but unlike either variant, they do not have a superior of their own, nor do they have any drops outside of their bones. They do not have flat armour.

Lava strykewyrms are found on the Charred Dungeon. Unlike standard wyrms, they attack with ranged instead of magic and do not have flat armour. Their superior, the magma strykewyrm, has a unique mechanic which requires the player to move at least two tiles from their position when the attack was initiated or they will take moderate damage. They drop dragon metal sheets with an increased drop rate on-task.

All three variants can be found on Wyrmscraig, requiring partial completion of Fallen From Grace to access. The wyrmling nest on the island is a multicombat area close to a teleport and a bank, which can assist in finishing a wyrm task quickly.

Equipment

  1. ^ Only on a Wyrm slayer task
  2. ^ Depends on ammo, gear, and levels as to whether it is better than options lower on the table. It is worth checking the DPS calculator with your stats and gear, as accuracy influences the Blowpipe significantly. Mithril darts are a good balance between price and damage.
  3. ^ Only with crystal armour
  4. ^ With melee/strength gear
  5. ^ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 If using a one-handed weapon
  6. ^ 6.0 6.1 If using a blowpipe or other weapon that does not consume ammunition from the ammo slot
  7. ^ 7.0 7.1 7.2 Only if killed outside of Karuulm Slayer Dungeon or after having completed the Elite Kourend diary, otherwise constant damage will be taken. Or if killing Lava Strykwyrms regardless of diary.

  1. ^ Only on a Wyrm slayer task
  2. ^ With bloodmoon set effect, when fighting off-task
  3. ^ Lance is better than scythe or soulreaper axe when fighting strykewyrms in a max setup
  4. ^ Using the Noxious halberd’s extended range will force the standard wyrms to only use mage attacks, and will force lava strykewyrms to only use range attacks.
  5. ^ 5.0 5.1 Set to stab
  6. ^ 6.0 6.1 6.2 Only if killed outside of Karuulm Slayer Dungeon or after having completed the Elite Kourend diary, otherwise constant damage will be taken. Or if killing Lava Strykwyrms regardless of diary.
  7. ^ Only if it gives an extra max hit

Due to wyrms' 50% earth weakness and lava strykewyrms' 50% water weakness, elemental spells can be very effective against them. By standing outside of melee range, you can cast protect from magic for standard wyrms or protect from range for lava strykewyrms to avoid all damage.

  1. ^ Only on a Wyrm slayer task
  2. ^ 2.0 2.1 Casting the appropriate elemental spell
  3. ^ Using earth spells on wyrms
  4. ^ Using water spells on lava strykewyrms
  5. ^ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 Only if killed outside of Karuulm Slayer Dungeon or after having completed the Elite Kourend diary, otherwise constant damage will be taken. Or if killing Lava Strykwyrms regardless of diary.
