Overview

Gregorovic is Sliske's general and located in the north-eastern area of The Heart.

Gregorovic, like all the other generals in the Heart, has 200,000 life points. However, he is much stronger than the other generals: his auto-attacks deal two hits at once and are able to deal over 2,000 damage each. To make up for his increased damage, his defence is significantly lower than the others.

Gregorovic will frequently poison the player, though the poison only lasts for about 20 seconds. While antipoisons can be used, this is not recommended as he will quickly corrode away their effects; instead it is recommended to use the Venomblood perk.

During the fight, he can change his combat level anywhere from 1-999; however, this is only a visual change and does not actually affect his combat capabilities. It does, however, make him vulnerable to the effects of dominion mines should he change his combat level to 138 or lower. Dominion mines can trigger Gregorovic to summon the shadows in advance, although this generally poses no problem to the player. If using dominion mines set two of them nearby in a straight line from the middle of the arena. If meleeing, simply place the mines on his spawn point. This also includes the start of the instance. When Gregorovic spawns, he possesses an attack range of 8, although he will quickly move in to an attack range of 2 after using two auto-attacks.

When Gregorovic reaches 140,000 and 60,000 life points, he will summon two and three shadows onto the field, with which he will periodically switch places with - this does not interfere with targeting him. The shadows only have 3,000 life points, although they have a combat level of 1,000, meaning that dominion mines won't be set off by them. The shadows use fairly weak ranged attacks and have an attack range of 2 tiles. Shadows can get stuck behind each other, although their low health and damage generally poses no problem at all, and they conveniently extend the duration of Devotion.

Attacks

Gregorovic uses normal melee and ranged attacks: he swings his glaives in his melee attacks and throws them in his ranged attacks. Gregorovic's melee attacks can hit very hard, players using melee can use halberd type weapons to attack Gregorovic from outside his melee range. Players doing this should be aware that when run is left on, the player character will run into melee distance meaning Gregorovic will start using melee attacks unless the player walks one tile away. Turning off run means it will take longer to get to Gregorovic every time he jumps between his shadows.

Gregorovic will toss both of his glaives into the air and small shadows will appear throughout the arena. Move away from the shadowed spots as after two seconds, daggers and knives will fall from the ceiling on to the spots and deal up to 1,700 magic damage to players stood on them. It's possible to flick this attack, though Gregorovic's auto-attack will register before this attack. Despite the visual 1x1 tile coverage, the attack actually covers a 2x2 range, with the east, south-east and southern tile from the shadow also being danger zones.

Gregorovic will yell RISE, CHILD! and summon a spirit of rage, spirit of delirium or spirit of mania from mask scenery objects around the arena. The type of spirit summons depends on which mask he was closest to when he initiated the mechanic. The spirits only have 3,000 health and a combat level of 60, meaning that they can set off dominion mines if these are being used. Should the spirit touch Gregorovic, they will say a quote before dying off as Gregorovic absorbs them. The spirit of rage increases his combat damage, the spirit of delirium increases his poison damage, and the spirit of mania increases his attack speed. If the spirit is successfully tagged, Gregorovic will not absorb it, even if it touches him.

Gregorovic will throw a trick knife at the player (or one target if he is being fought by multiple players) using his right arm. The knife will hit three times in total and will bounce between players, even if they are in the lobby area. It will also bounce on any spirits or shadows lingering in the arena. The attack has 100% accuracy regardless of armour rating and can deal up to 2,300 damage. The type of damage dealt varies: if the player is within melee distance of Gregorovic then the knife does melee damage but if the knife bounces to a distant shadow or spirit then it deals ranged damage instead.

Hard mode

In challenge mode Gregorovic has increased combat stats but his life points remain at 200,000. Unlike normal mode, Gregorovic in challenge mode is immune to poison.

Gregorovic's attack rotation is the same as in normal mode. Melee is recommended over other combat styles due to its ability to deal rapid damage against single targets, which compliments the vampryism aura. A berserker aura may be used instead but will result in far more damage being taken by the player. AoEs can be used to dispatch shadows with ease. Using melee, it does not matter which spirits are summoned or if they reach Gregorovic as trimmed masterwork and the vampryism aura will be enough to restore health. Make sure to flick between melee and ranged protection prayers to avoid taking unnecessary damage from Gregorovic's attacks.

The differences in the hard mode fight compared to normal mode are:

• Gregorovic's shadows are summoned at 140,000 and 60,000 life points as in normal mode. However, an additional shadow is summoned each time.
• His RISE, CHILD! spirit summon special attack summons two spirits instead of one. In addition, these spirits move towards Gregorovic at running speed and deal increased damage.
• Gregorovic has a new special attack that he uses when he first reaches 0 life points, "Join Me".

During the "Join Me" attack Gregorovic yells JOIN ME! JOIN THE COLLECTION! and transforms the player into a shadow clone of himself; then proceeds to yell EMBRACE THE DARKNESS. and summon three wight hunters. One melee, one ranged and one mage wight hunter are spawned from the north, south-west and south-east corners respectively. Each possess 9,000 health and can deal up to 1,300 damage with their combat style. The hunters yell WEEEEEUUUUGGGGHHHH! as they appear. Any lingering shadows and spirits are automatically killed off when the wight hunters spawn.

The player cannot use most abilities or teleport during this attack. The player's attacks have a 100% chance to hit on the wight hunters and deal around 2,000 to 4,000 damage per hit. Familiars can be used to kill the hunters and it is recommended to bring a steel titans or ripper demons. Aftershock accumulates damage if used but the resulting blast when it reaches full capacity does not harm them.

As the wight hunters are killed more will spawn in to attack the player, up to a total of six. The additional wights spawned will come from anywhere around the edges of the arena and spawn with a random combat style. They tend to spawn more slowly after the fourth is spawned, with the remaining two generally appearing after the one before them is killed. Avoid eating solid food during this phase as your auto-attacks will be delayed, instead you can use Saradomin brews. If an enhanced excalibur is used make sure to re-click to attack a wight hunter as your auto-attacks will be interrupted by use of the sword.

After all six wight hunters are killed Gregorovic will yell NO! ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE CONSUMED! and the player will be able to attack him normally again. Gregorovic will resume his attack rotation from the point that he was at prior to falling to 0 health. Gregorovic will usually have 75,000 or 85,000 health when the last hunter is killed; in rare cases, he may have 65,000 health instead. This will result in a subsequent shadow summon, but this is generally no threat to the player.

High-level AFK solo strategy

To solo this boss effectively, players require max combat levels.

• 99 , 99 , 99 , 99
• 98 Herblore for Supreme overloads, or 106 for Elder overloads
• 95 Prayer for Turmoil, or 99 for Malevolence
• 73 Summoning for Blood reaver (familiar)
• 99 Invention or higher for advanced perks

Gear:

• Since Gregorovic can be poisoned, it is best to use the Cinderbane gloves along with Weapon poison+++ and Kwuarm incense sticks to deal extra damage.
• Either Irit incense sticks or the Venomblood perk must be used.
• The Persistent Rage relic or an Adrenaline Urn is highly recommended to retain adrenaline, but not strictly required.

Inventory:

• The highest level overloads that you have, Enhanced Excalibur and Weapon poison+++.
• Portents of restoration automatically heal you if your life points drop below half, thus increasing your chances of surviving.

Perks:

• The invention perks given below are optimal:

Slot	Equipment	Icons	Perk	Perk Cost
	Augmented noxious scythe / Augmented Laniakea's spear / Augmented Masterwork Spear of Annihilation		Precise 6	823,818 for 1 x Small crate (historic)
			Aftershock 4	61,456,964 for 1.5 x Anima core legs of Zaros
	Augmented Masterwork platebody		Biting 4	75,912,525 for 0.3 x Noxious longbow
			Crackling 4 + Relentless 5	28,322,037 for 9 x Large crate (vintage)
	Augmented Masterwork platelegs		Impatient 4 + Venomblood	22,009,774 for 2 x Virtus wand and 10 x Korasi's sword

Methods:

Scythe and Masterwork method

In this method:

• You don't enter melee distance (MD) by using a halberd-range weapon thus avoiding Gregorovic's rapid melee attacks.
• You turn OFF run mode.
• You pray against ranged attacks.
• You use Devotion on your action bar.
• You carry lots of food using a pack yak familiar.

Equipment required

• A noxious scythe or Dragon Rider lance is required for this method as it allows you to attack Gregorovic without entering melee-distance.
• A Vampyrism aura or Scrimshaw of vampyrism is also required to solo, otherwise you'll need too much food to make this practical.
• Tier-90 Masterwork equipment lasts forever once augmented and does not degrade (it still requires divine charges), and is thus recommended for camping this boss.
• Tier-92 Trimmed masterwork equipment can be used, but it has a higher upkeep cost (unless the amour is Custom-fit, it will degrade on Reaper tasks).
• An amulet of souls is recommended over the Essence of Finality amulet because its upkeep cost is too high to justify for this activity.

Familiar

• Pack yak to store an extra inventory full of food.

Action bar

Use the following Revolution action bar which has high defensive and offensive capability. The defensives are absolutely essential in order to avoid the high damage that Gregorovic deals.

• To allow all the abilities to activate automatically, go to Settings > Gameplay > Combat > Combat Mode and set Revolution size to 12 or higher.
• Devotion provides complete immunity from ranged attacks for 10 seconds. (because you are praying against Ranged attacks)
• Debilitate reduces the damages that Gregorovic deals by 50% for 7 seconds.
• Berserk is not recommended as it increases the damage taken and thus increases the food you need per fight.

Strategy

The following steps detail how to kill Gregorovic in a semi-AFK (away from keyboard) manner.

1. Tune a War's retreat boss portal to Gregorovic for fast travel
2. Once inside the Gregorovic arena, turn off Run mode so that you don't go within melee-distance of Gregorovic
3. Use the Deflect Missiles prayer along with Turmoil or Malevolence throughout the battle
4. Every 5 minutes, drink your overloads and prayer renewal, activate the Enhanced excalibur effect, and drink your Weapon poison+++
5. Attack Gregorovic using the action bar given above
6. Click away from Gregorovic if you enter melee-distance, otherwise you'll take constant melee damage and die in a few seconds
7. Eat rapidly if you take damage, as you can die very quickly during the battle
8. Don't bother about the Shadows that spawn, your area-of-effect abilities will eventually deal with them.

Spear and Trimmed Masterwork method

In this method:

• You enter melee distance (MD) by using a bleed weapon thus get hit by Gregorovic's melee attacks.
• You turn ON run mode.
• You Soul split.
• You don't use Devotion on your action bar.
• You bring a DPS familiar like blood reaver or ripper demon.

Equipmment required

• A Laniakea's Spear or a Masterwork Spear of Annihilation is required for this method.
• Tier-92 Trimmed Masterwork equipment is required for this method.
• The Penance aura can be used for a more AFK experience or the Vampyrism aura can be used alongside Powder of penance for a less AFK, but more safe experience.
• The Essence of Finality amulet is recommended for the increased accuracy and healing from Soulsplit. It can be swapped out for a Amulet of Souls, but the kills per hour will be lower.

Familiar

• Blood reaver (familiar) or Ripper Demon (familiar).

Action bar

• To allow all the abilities to activate automatically, go to Settings > Gameplay > Combat > Combat Mode and set Revolution size to 12 or higher.
• Berserk is not recommended as it increases the damage taken and thus increases the food you need per fight.
