Slash Bash

Slash bash is one of the easier bosses in Etherum compared to the other bosses such as Mutant Tarn, Corporal Beast and Tormented Demons. Its hitpoints are fairly low, which means it will not take long to kill it with the right gear. Even though Slash may look easy, it still does severe damage as it attacks with multiple combat styles. Using the Deflect Missiles (ranged protection) prayer at Slash Bash is a wise decision - be aware Slash Bash will still hit with magic and melee.

Getting there

Slash Bash is located in Karamja Dungeon. An Ancestral Key is required to enter the boss room.

You should keep spare Ancestral Keys in the bank in case you die and need to return quickly.

Use the quick teleport in the teleport menu to get to Slash Bash.

The quick teleport will teleport you right outside the Slash Bash boss room. To enter the room, click on the small stalagmites (this will use up your ancestral 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, magic and ranged. His ranged attacks will be more frequent so we recommend using Protection from Ranged. You will only be taking magic damage when using Ranged protection as Slash' melee attacks are not as powerful.

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
