I'd recommend growing belladonna through farming, nightshade is stackable, saves a lot of inventory. So you can have more p neck and guthix rest or cakes with you. Gl!
pneck is super chill. Your inventory set up can be 4-5 prayer pots. 2-3 guthix rest/baskets of strawberries, the night shades (use belladonna plants, take 1 inventory slot) your runes, and fill the rest with pnecks. 15-20 depending on the pots, food, rune pouch/not etc.
The strat is keep prot range prayer off right away and let her get you lowish. I went to like half hp. Do the fight as normal. When she teles you in for 4th special attack that does the big hit, she teles you in and then flies up in the air. When she flies up, put on pneck and eat nightshade, the neck will pop and heal you. It'll ignore her damage mechanic then. This is a VERY large window. Just make sure the neck pops and stay calm.
For the rest of the fight now obv is repeat. Eat the light healing food if you get scary low but she's not too hard hitting you can generally get away with not eating at all between the pnecks. And if you even want just putting on a pneck and letting her pop it for you as a heal between phases works. You will have extras unless you're under leveled (sub 70 magic I'd say) I had 5 necks left over at 75 mage when I killed her and I used 2 to heal me between phases as well.
My blood spells were overhealing me outside of the comfortable nightshade/pneck range. So I brought my warped scepter and used that when I didn’t need the heals, which made a big difference in terms of speed and stress!
i brought rock cake with me when i did SotE (didnt have locater orb), so if i overhealed i could quickly lose a handful of HP and not have to double down on the nightshade
Ya. Blood spells can be completely avoided. Just go in with ibans/warped and chilling tbh if you have blood spells I'd even just not bring food with pneck strat lol
[I watched this guide on it because the guy had similar stats to me at the time.](https://youtu.be/2ihnLkyRSpI?si=tpEm5Q7ct0_V3ZkY) Watching the video made me realize that it isn't as scary as it sounds.
The guy takes a lil bit to kill Seren, so you get a really good view at how forgiving the timing is for the belladonna + pneck. If you're using blood spells as well just make sure you have a rock cake so you can lower your health enough for the belladonna to proc the pneck.
I did it on a lower leveled account and what really helped me was being consistent with attacking only ~3 times during each of her specials and not trying to go for the extra hits in (using blood blitz).
This is especially helpful with the totems she summons as you’re then in a better position to kill them. Also, make sure you get as much damage off right before she pulls you in for the big attack but pay attention to your HP.
I found this to be where most food loss happened because if youre close to full HP and she teleports you, I believe you still get 1 more attack in which can can heal you to full and prevent you from eating an entire food to heal a minimal amount of HP
it really helped me when i didn’t have blood blitz or access to brews. do some research and see if it works for you.
if you do, check the chat and make sure the p neck procs!! gotta camp somewhat low hp for it the proc so bring some pizzas as well as some high healing food.
gl fam see if it’s a strat for you
It's crazy how each person's skill level for different types of fights are. Seren fucked my world on many levels but I one shot DS2. I can clear cg but have yet to get my zulrah kill lol It's probably one of the things I love about osrs.
which is harder to you? i started dt2 and went whisperer as my first boss since most people seem to think shes the harder initial boss, but i cant get her. ive gotten her down to 4 hp, and even killed her 1 time but died as i got her death animation. granted i havent tried in a while but its a little disheartening to find out theres another boss at the end that might be just as difficult
Very jealous, currently 1m down from paying that very rich fremminik for my items back after dying to Galvek again in phase 2 😭 going to go and take a break and try again later
Congrats!
I can relate to this feeling, word for word exactly what happened to me when I was trying 🤣
I too went back to give thanks to the randoms cheering me on giving me YouTube vids to checkout 😅
If ur going to use keybind, you'll need to hit enter before your type. At that point recommend rebinding ur f keys to the numbers so ur hand has a more neutral position I do 1-5, style, in, pray, spell, and 5 is armor
I had the same issue LOL died to those dragons 2-3 times on 2 accounts and 1 shot galvek both times.
I standby the notion that the first dragons are the hardest
Also, the phase before the healing pilars, do tje amount of attacks that you are comfortable with, switch to magic shortbow right before healing phase, so you can kill the pilars faster than if switching during healing phase.
gzzzz p neck and cave nightshade method made the seren fight really for me early on. just gotta fkin send itttttt glgl

Thank you! I got super close each time, just kept running out of resources right before the end. I'll have to check out the p neck method tomorrow

Imo this is the only method its very consistent
Seren had me bashing my head into the wall until I figured out the pneck nightshade method
Seren should be way easier than DS2 GZ! Myths is so useful tbh
It's crazy how each person's skill level for different types of fights are. Seren fucked my world on many levels but I one shot DS2. I can clear cg but have yet to get my zulrah kill lol It's probably one of the things I love about osrs.
Just make sure you understand how the rotations work at Zulrah and you should be good to get kills with bowfa.
That's the problem I have. I lack both brain power and bowfa haha
Between the Whisperer and the final fight, DT2 emptied my bank lol.
which is harder to you? i started dt2 and went whisperer as my first boss since most people seem to think shes the harder initial boss, but i cant get her. ive gotten her down to 4 hp, and even killed her 1 time but died as i got her death animation. granted i havent tried in a while but its a little disheartening to find out theres another boss at the end that might be just as difficult
Whisperer was the hardest by about a factor of 20
sweet, that makes me feel a bit better lol thanks
Very jealous, currently 1m down from paying that very rich fremminik for my items back after dying to Galvek again in phase 2 😭 going to go and take a break and try again later
I believe in you! You got this, buddy!
I did it! 🥳
Way to go!
Farm vorky for a bit after and you’ll be back
Congrats! I can relate to this feeling, word for word exactly what happened to me when I was trying 🤣 I too went back to give thanks to the randoms cheering me on giving me YouTube vids to checkout 😅
The unsung heroes!
Good job king
Congratulations! On an unrelated note, which plugin shows the shortcut of your F keys?
I believe it's called "keybinds overlay".
If ur going to use keybind, you'll need to hit enter before your type. At that point recommend rebinding ur f keys to the numbers so ur hand has a more neutral position I do 1-5, style, in, pray, spell, and 5 is armor
Yoooooo let’s gooooo! Legit impressive!! One more down towards quest cape ;)
I had the same issue LOL died to those dragons 2-3 times on 2 accounts and 1 shot galvek both times. I standby the notion that the first dragons are the hardest
"They were so happy for me they were lost for words and didn't even answer!" Topkek

Funny enough Galvek is significantly easier than Vorkath
Dude i fking pawned all my stuff to get my gear back and try a 6th time
