Slash Bash is without a doubt, the toughest boss in Grinderscape. Even though its hitpoints are much lower than those of bosses like Tormented Demons or the Corporeal Beast, Slash Bash makes up for it with enormous damage output. Even in max gear, more often than not you'll find yourself desperately eating food as you will continuously be hit. If you've never been to Slash Bash before, it can be a terrifying experience. Slash can hit hard and accurately in multiple combat styles, but the most dangerous part is Slash Bash's special burn attack, which deals 10 damage, 7 times in rapid succession. No prayer can protect you from the burn attack, so the only way to reduce the damage is to equip a damage-soaking shield like the Divine Spirit Sheild or the Elysian Spirit Shield.

Getting there

You will need a Ancestral Key in order to enter the boss room, once you have one then just follow the instructions below. You should keep spare Ancestral Keys in the bank incase you die and need to return quickly.

Slash Bash is located in Karamja Dungeon.

To get to Karamja dungeon: Go to the "Combat Training" category of the teleports then select "Karamja Dungeon"

Then walk north, eventually you will see Slash Bash in a room, to enter the room, click on the small stalamites (this will use up your key.)

Once inside, kill Slash Bash

Gear and Inventory Setup

The best gear to use at Slash Bash is melee. His attack styles are melee and range, and his melee attacks are significantly more powerful, so you will most likely be praying Protection from Melee. Therefore, the only blockable damage you will be taking is range damage, and melee armor has the best range defense

Here is the best gear to use in each gear slot:

Inventory Setup

Your inventory will depend on your gear. Players with maxed or near-maxed gear will be able to last for upwards of 10 kills, while players with welfare gear may only get a couple of kills per trip. When possible, it is worth maximizing the number of kills per trip to save money on the ancestral keys.

This is the suggested inventory set-up for players with the best possible gear. Players using less effective gear should swap out some prayer potions for more food

• Spec Weapon
• Ancestral Key
• 16x Rocktail
• 6x Prayer Potion (4)
• 3x Overload (4)
• Teletab

Drops

Slash bash has the most unique drops of all bosses. This list includes Woven Cosmetics, Chaotic Staves, Arcane Necklaces, but most importantly Hand Cannons. There is also a very rare chance of recieving a Slash Bash pet upon killing the boss.
