OSRS Drake Guide

General information

Drakes are combat-level 192 monsters with a max hit of 15 which moves up to 32 through their special attack. You get 268 XP per kill and they’re weak to both Melee and Magic attack styles. You need a Slayer level of at least 84 to approach them.

Location

You a find Drakes in the depths of the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon, which is beneath mount Karuulm. You can easily get there if you have access to the Fairy Ring network (Code: CIR). You’ll get teleported just south of the mountain and can walk the rest of the way which is close.

Make sure you have Granite, Brimstone, or regular Stone Boots, or else you’ll be taking significant damage within the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon. If you’ve completed the Elite part of Kourend & Kebos Diaries, then you can ignore wearing them.

How to fight them?

Make sure you have ‘protect from missiles’ active at all times while fighting Drakes. This is done to avoid any damage apart from the ones coming through melee attacks. You’ll either need an Anti-Dragon Shield for their special attack, or you’ll have to avoid them yourself.

The attack is used after every 5 to 7 regular hits, and it can deal up to 8 damage 4 times in a row, making it a total of 32. You can avoid it by moving a few blocks away when it casts the fireballs at you.

Gear

The best-in-slot weapon to defeat them is the Dragon Hunter Lance because it rips through their defense. If you can’t afford it, a Tentacle Whip is a good alternative. You can also look into the AFK-able approach by combining Dragon Fire Shield with Anti-Fire Potions. This will completely negate the special attacks.
