The Spiritual warrior is a powerful Slayer monster found in the God Wars Dungeon. There are five types of spiritual warriors: Saradominists, Zamorakians, Bandosians, Armadyleans, and Zarosians. Spiritual warriors require 68 Slayer to kill (note Spiritual creatures cannot be given as a Slayer task if the player has not completed the Death Plateau quest). Just like Spiritual rangers and Spiritual mages, there are Spiritual warriors from each god.

Spiritual warriors frequently drop mithril equipment, adamant equipment, and rune equipment, so it is advisable to bring runes for High Level Alchemy.

The Zarosian variant has a special attack where they will summon four smoke clouds around the player, which slowly move in to their location over 5 ticks. If the player does not step away from the spot, they will be hit for a substantial amount of hitpoints (up to 40). This special can hit players safe-spotting.

Killing a spiritual warrior in the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon is a requirement for the Hard Wilderness Diary.

Strategy

A good place to kill Spiritual warriors is just outside of the Zamorak Boss chamber as there are plenty of them. 70 Hitpoints are required to access the Zamorak base, and the player's prayer points will be completely drained upon entering. There are safespots (piles of stones) inside the Zamorak base, which can be used to safely kill Spiritual warriors with Ranged or Magic.

For players killing Spiritual warriors as part of a Slayer task wanting to avoid being attacked by them, the main area contains Saradominist warriors who are often engaged in combat with other monsters.

As with all other Armadylean monsters, the Armadyl variant can only be attacked with Ranged, Magic, or a halberd. They also use Ranged instead of melee to attack.

The Armadylean variant is not considered an Aviansie for the purposes of a Slayer task, even though when the player attempts to attack one with melee a message in the player's chatbox appears saying "The Aviansie is flying too high for you to attack using melee."

A Zarosian warrior uses its special attack to damage a player.

Trivia

On release, Spiritual warriors dropped medium clue scrolls, but were updated to drop hard instead. The Armadylean Spiritual warriors also hit very low and had inaccurate attacks, this was later fixed.
Zamorakian warriors appear to have a Gnome/Glarial's amulet (similar to the crystal pendant which the player receives in the quest Regicide). Their weapons resemble an anger mace from the A Soul's Bane quest. Also, the armour they are wearing looks like a red version of Dharok's platebody and legs.
Zamorakian warriors seem to have a graphical glitch where their hands do not seem to be gripping the handle of their weapons correctly, as their hands seem to be too far down the handle.
Zamorakian spiritual warriors appear to have another glitch. They seem to be holding their maces through their bodies.
Spiritual creatures were blocked by 113,241 players and were the most blocked slayer monster in 2017.
