The Easiest Way To Get A Zuk Cape For Beginners! (Low Input, Revolution)

[@killjacket12]

Thank you A MILLION FOLD!!! I just got the cape in 2 attempts (the first one I did the zuk fight 5 times until I got it down. This strat is easy to follow through, and even though I had T90 power armour instead of tank I could still just afk tank through all the rounds with revo. Happy days c:

@@helldog6464 how the heck did u do that with t90 power? i cant even get past wave 7 i take loads of damage

[@Skillertvv_]

@@patrik1466 if ur having trouble, remember to not panic eat, and prayer flick when needed. There are ranger mobs (not challenge rangers) that deal alot of damage, so just pray ranged if ur having trouble. Use defencives and BRING A FAMILIAR (either a hellhound for damage reduction or bloodhound with prism of restoration and runes for pretty much unlimited heals)

[@Skillertvv_]

I brought 3 pouches of bloodhound (cuz I didnt have prism) and got through it just fine. It takes practice.

Summed up the video for anyone that wants notes for their fight: Setup: Hellhound familiar with hellhound scrolls Equipment: 1. Use any obsidian helm for damage reduction (personal preference for extra damage reduction) - Donate tokkul in Fight Cauldron for extra 10% damage reduction. 30k tokkul for 40 minutes, 45k for 60 minutes) 2. Tank gear (for HP boost, dodge chance, and damage reduction) 3. Tokkul-zo 4. Amulet of souls 5. Aegis aura (if you have) Inventory: 1. 1x Purple potion is Adrenaline Renewal 2. 1x Light blue potion is Weapon Poison+++ 3. 4x Super Restores 4. 1x Vitality potion 5. Runes 6. Ectoplasm 7. 8x Sara brews 8. 1x Overload 9. 10x+ Vuln Bombs 10. Enhanced excalibur if you have. 11. Food (however many slots you have left) - blue blubber jellyfish Tip: Tick eating: Eat (first) and quickly drink (keybind both, eat first then drink in rapid succession - less than a fraction of a second) Revo Bar: Skeleton -> Ghost -> Soul Sap -> Touch of Death For any wave with bats (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 12), target bats first to prevent prayer drain. Wave 4 (Igneous): Stun igneous melee monsters. Near end before hitting special ability, charge adren on Zuk Wave 5 (Challenge Wave): Threads of fate + finger of death twice Wave 6: Jad Wave 8 (Rangers, pray ranged) - If rangers start hitting 2-3k per hit, get them to move around to reduce stacks Wave 9 (Igneous rangers - finger of death): Before using special ability at end, charge adren on Zuk Wave 10 (Challenge Wave): Finger of death, special Wave 11: Double Jad Waves 12-13: Lot of damage from monsters. Try to safespot. Make sure ghost is able to attack and not stuck. Wave 14 (Igneous mage shield): Near end, before using special ability, charge up adren on Zuk to get ready for challenge Wave 15 (Challenge wave): Barricade once monsters spawn Wave 16: Triple Jad 
Wave 17: Har-Aken (East or West), avoid erupting lava (move two spaces) If not killed in 1 cycle, get popup saying (Har-Aken is bombarding you). Move at least 3 tiles north Wave 17: Zuk First Mechanic: Zuk says, YOU WILL BREAK BENEATH ME Freedom Second Mechanic: Zuk says, SUFFER Surge and run back to starting position OR super restore Third Mechanic: Zuk says, FALL BEFORE MY MIGHT Surge If begin taking typeless damage, Freedom Fourth Mechanic: Zuk says, Die Resonance or tank it (4000 damage) Fifth Mechanic: Zuk says, Flames consume you (Pizza phase) Freedom to start (before flames appear), surge to monsters (DPS check, kill quickly) 1. Stun (North) 2. Threshold (Southeast) - Finger of Death 3. Walk in shield and attack (West) 4. Zuk says “Flames unending” and adrenaline bar appears above head. Use special ability 5. When done, mechanics begin again At 100k health, mechanics restart again

[@mwyt345]

I finally did it! Lvl 96 necromancy. Managed to get flawless on my first complete run as well with tons of food left over. This is the first difficult boss I've both attempted and managed to defeat! Thanks @TheRSGuy! I've only ever killed GWD1 bosses and the few GWD2 needed for necro tank. But this guide plunged me into PvMing like I never expected. Although I did it with MUCH MORE MANUAL INPUT than the video, it's possible. Took me like 50 tries... Final run took 36 minutes. If you're anything like me ( Finger of Death, Soul Sap, volley. ToF will get you 3 souls at a time w/ the sap! * Don't spam vuln bombs and invoke death! Those are mostly only useful for Jad, Har Aken, and Zuk. I kept doing vuln bomb and invoke death during pizza phase and it ate up a bunch of time and kept my DPS low. * During pizza phase I was surging into fire all the time. Just click/face zuk, surge, THEN run left. every time. * When pizza starts, freedom yourself, and call Invoke Death while you are RUNNING over to the first slice. That way it's ready to go and you can kill the guy in each slice in

[@brentharris7250]

Thank you so much! After a ton of setup, days of psyching myself up for another run, and lots of prep, I put on my necro tank gear and headed to zuk, with as much buffs as I could remember. I messed up some key clicking and almost got killed by a Jad! But I made it through and finished the waves. I did fail the fatal challenge because my barracade wasn't ready. Zuk started and I had my restores and freedom ready. I probably surged more than what I should. First pizza phase had me with all 3 still remaining when Zuk started to build his attack. As soon as I saw the action button, I clicked it! Then the second pizza phase hit. I pulled off some more manual attacks (I was using revo++ the entire time) and was able to clear the phase as well. Now it was time to finish Zuk. But wait, I just ran out of food! I then just spam clicked whatever was available! Then, suddenly, out of nowhere, death mark kicked in and I was victorious!!! I got my first Zuk kill and stone! Keep doing videos like this and helping those who struggle with PVM!!

[@Gendulf]

Lessons I learned from 2 failures following this guide (success soon?): 0. Note: this is NOT a low input/revolution guide. You will need to know how to trigger thresholds, etc manually to succeed. 1. The fire cauldrons at the two main safespots will deal magic damage, try to switch back and forth between them to avoid the excess damage. 2. Soul split is a poor choice when there are a lot of magic/ranged enemies. Use it once you've cleared most of the waves, not really a good first choice. 3. Before challenge waves, waste the ghost's special ability on Zuk and build adren back up, so your revo bar doesn't trigger it when you need to use finger of death. 4. At challenge wave 15, resonance the first hit, and don't barricade until you're almost going to get hit by the second. If you barricade too early, you will fail, and take 6000 damage. 5. Use deflect melee, not soul split at Zuk. You can soul split in-between attacks, but default to deflect melee, so you don't die when you forget/miss an attack. 6. Do not go after the mage in part 3 of pizza time until the ranger is dead. If you do, the ranger will walk directly underneath Zuk and be difficult to deal with (you may not even know if it's dead). 7. Avoid eating before Zuk as much as possible in order to maximize how much food you have for him. You will eat a fair amount for him unless you're extremely skilled at remembering when to resonance, soul split flicking, freedoming, etc.

[@taenybeast]

Got the closest to killing Zuk as I've ever been but still died at last phase to pizza rip, thanks for the guide! If I could request something, could you also include the names of the items in the inven in the video/description bc scrubs like me see a potion and have zero idea what it is hahaha

[@LastAvailableAlias]

Yes, all of these video guides seem to assume we recognize every item on sight lol

[@laeven_]

Came across this video while I was almost at 120 necromancy. I figured at 120 would be the time to finally go for a zuk cape. Did I fail a lot of times? Yes. Did I screw up pizza a lot? Yes. But I can proudly say I now own a zuk cape and it's all thanks to you Ryan

[@selairium]

yeah no, i did everything like you said and ran exactly what you ran and im in t90 tank with tuk ring, hell hound and everything, and i took massive damage constantly throughout the fight and my hellhound died and he even had scrolls and nothing was working on healing it, and when i finally made it to zuk i died, this isnt easy at all even in t90 gear with darkness being spammed and doing everything i could to stay alive

[@joshmiller6145]

I had the same exact problem. And after I tried doing this tactic I was perfect. Don’t try to prayer flick. Keep on melee prayers and focus on mechanics. Then boom. I got 5 kills in one night. You can do this!!

[@Maximus2210]

Thank you for this guide. I am not good at PVM but this guide helped me get to Zuk. Died a few times learning the mechanics of Zuk especially to the pizza But got my first igneous rock. Took me 3 hours, 6 cups of tea and one grilled cheese sandwich in total to finally do it 😂

[@mohzinkhan6264]

This guide really helped with getting my Zuk cape today, granted i had so much help with having the 200% food buff from todays RS Birthday Buff system, i didnt panic about running out of food and honestly that gave me confidence to learn the mechanics. So after the buff ended, i got back in there and got another igneous stone. Its all about practice, believe me I’m no good at pvm, but its very much possible with guides like these. Here are some of the tips i can give:- 1. 200% food increase buff was the best (i ended up going with a bob full of sara brews-which is an overkill but i was learning) 2. A cheap gaming mouse with atleast two additional buttons is a game changer (i keybinded double surge & freedom to each button) - this helps with quick actions especially for these two abilities which is absolutely crucial. 3. Get those bats first in the waves. 4. Vulnerability bombs (VB) are your friend, just use them. 5. For the first jad wave i felt i was getting overwhelmed and used to die immediately. So i use a VB on it and finish it off first fast while prayer flicking. 6. The challeges are perfectly explained in the video follow that to the teeth. Only at the third challenge i used a Vitality potion cuz my barricade didnt last enough. 7. The scorpion looking thing puts a burn on you like how zuk does in his first attack, so be sure to use freedom and check your debuff. 8. In the Zuk encounter, use freedom for the first mechanic, surge ONLY ONCE for the second mechanic and run back to previous position, and on the third mechanic surge only when his sword hits the ground, for the forth attack where he drops the stone i ended up tanking it cuz I wasn’t quick enough to sip a vitality potion. 9. I would suggest to stop using strong abilities on zuk after his third mechanic, so you can have adrenaline for the pizza phase,let revo do its thing. If you’re like me which you most likely are if you read till here, your dps must be crap and thats ok cuz you brought VB’s so use it on zuk and his minions in the pizza phase 10. When zuk pushes you away for the pizza phase, use freedom to be free of the stun. 11. I’ve come to notice that the first one spawns to the left side of from the location you are pushed to and for subsequent spawns as well , so you can start running towards that general area even before the pizza fire drops. 12. For the melee one, only use your death guard special move and then revo will kill it and you’d a second or two before the ranger. 13. For the ranger, use a VB, then finger of death and then volley of souls. 14. Finally for the mage, step into its shield, use a VB, and whatever thresholds that are available. I found this to be very doable for us low dps rotation pvm newbs I can see that many could finish zuk in just one pizza phase but i had to go through two pizza phases cuz my manual rotations arent great but with this plan in mind it’s very easy once you get that rhythm down, so practice and you’ll get the hang of it. Good luck to all now and once again thank you for this wonderful guide.

Dude thank you for this guide! I was able to kill Zuk on my 2nd full attempt after dying to him my first run as a ran out of food. I switched to a Pack Yak and sure enough I had more than enough food to last through the fight. I'm sure once I get the waves and damage reduction down the Hellhound will be beneficial for me, but if you are still struggling to make it all the way, switch to your best BoB and bring more food and you will get it!

[@MrDmoe33]

Best zuk guide out there tbh. Few corrections tho: Rubber banding is when entities in screen jitter/ teleport around. The thing with the jads and the other situations is not rubber banding its just the way RS handles things is jank so their animation doesn't line up with their position. Har aken in normal mode does the bombardment twice while submerged not once. He does it after a few secs when he initially goes down and once before he immediately comes.

[@chuckie14469]

I truly appreciate these low effort revo kill guides. I suck at pvm and these really help me get kills on bosses I would normally not even attempt. Thanks again Ryan for another high quality guide.

I Just got my first zuk cape thanks to this guide! Never thought this Day would come! :D However, i did switch up things a little bit. I used bloodreaver with auto-scrolls set at 7 and penance aura, this way i had full inventory at zuk. Right after i killed HaarAken i swapped to a hellhound and swapped my aura. Keep in mind that you'll have to utilise safe spot to the fullest if doing this, because you're not as tanky in the waves.

Fantastic guide, I've taken a ton of notes and will be trying this soon. I have one suggestion: in the beginning, you showed your inventory, but didn't name everything in it. Being fairly new to high level bossing, I couldn't tell what many of the items were by sight, and had to ask for help to know what was there. Other than that, this guide has made Zuk feel achievable, rather than terrifying.

I am 107 Necro btw for reference! :) For everyone out there attempting zuk: it isn’t completely afk. You need some input.

You should update this guide, soul splitting thru zuk no longer works due to nerfs (atleast with this set up). For those still trying do NOT camp soul split through out the zuk fight, instead Pray melee and switch to soul split during pizza phase only. With ghost and Pray melee, as well as using defensive abilities, you'll still take very little damage and barely need to eat because of ghost conjure. Hope this helps someone 😊

Would love the hardmode run though. I play in a casual style, but have been able to do almost all the bosses (reaper title, have not done 100%zammy yet). I was sad to see the shift to rotation/tic perfect methods of doing bosses. I was lucky to find people who are like minded and i think there are many more out there. I have a friend who i do Solak with and our 9 minute kills probably make many people cringe, but we have fun doing it. Most of the available guides, streams, and discord channels make it feel you have to have everything perfect to do any bosses, but content like this will help so may more people. Will not lie, it is fun to see top tier people pvm, but that is not the way i want to play.

For anyone still struggling with tzuk, 11 months after this video was published, know it takes some time to learn the fight. I am not a good pvmer, and did tzuk with full cryptbloom and animate dead before necromancy; it also took me 30 attempts before I got my tzuk cape. Out of the 30 attempts, it took me 18 deaths before I got first tzuk kill. The waves are the hardest part of this fight as it's entirely resource management. I went and practiced jad in the fight caves before I came to tzuk as 3 Jads were the bane of my existence. Necromancy did make tzuk so much easier and I will be using it on my ironman for the capes. Keep pvming and embrace your inner pvm God!

Stuff like the infernal puzzle box, war's retreat, passive ring of vigour, enhanced excalibur etc. I've spent weeks grinding out quests and Bosses to unlock a lot of this stuff and still manage to find new things that people are shocked i don't have because it's so basic it doesn't ocurr to them to suggest it.

[@TheKingofGaming2011]

This run is still helpful even after the necromancy update. I'd advise to take breaks in between some of the waves and use your enhanced excalibur to heal up and just wait until the timer for the excalibur is approaching the reset time incase you need to use it mid-wave. The hardest waves for me were the second and third igenous waves - I would use protect range and mage during these waves. The safe spot is also very helpful but you will need to stand a tile south of the spot that is shown in the video to ensure that all the monsters can be in attackable distance from the safe spot. Waves 12/13 aren't as bad as shown in the video but I would try to kill any rangers the second you see them and can kill them safely within the safe spot. These guys are hell and if you can take them out while waiting in the safe spot for the monsters nearby to spawn I'd highly recommend doing so!!! Another point is always make sure your hellhound is at full hp because this is a crucial point in taking less than damage and helping you to sustain your chances of finishing the waves and fighting Zuk. At Zuk, I would personally use melee protect instead of soul split in the guide. I'd also try to use at least one threshold per igenous monster to make it so that you can kill them within the time frame before the next igenous monster spawns - I died during the first time I got to Zuk because I wasn't fast enough with my DPS. All in all, thanks for the guide...after about 6 deaths I was able to get my Zuk cape. And, now to repeat this 3 more times LOL. Best of luck to all!

It's so discouraging when you follow the guide and still die repeatedly.

Youre so positive and helpful and always share your wealth of knowledge with a smile. You're a brilliant soul and I hope you enjoy the best out of life 😊

hard mode guide please! I've only tried a few times and get super discouraged when I am dying in the early waves..

[@BelleSproot]

I'm not a new player but for a long time I stressed about pvm (didn't get my fire cape until I'd been playing for like 5 years). I really appreciate these simplified guides for just getting a kc. Thanks

[@stueygewy]

Thanks for the guide, Ryan! How important is the T90 tank armor for this method? Is it still doable with T90 power armor? :)

[@Escoluis1]

You probably have to make sure you player flick jads since you don't have as much hp

[@stueygewy]

@@Escoluis1 True that. I decided just to make the T90 tank armor anyway since I'll use it elsewhere for the hp boost + dodge chance.

[@TheRSGuy]

You should be okay in power gear, but it's a lot more relaxed in the tank set

[@stueygewy]

@@TheRSGuy Awesome, thanks! :) I made the T90 tank armor and perked it up with Biting 4 + Crackling4, Relentless 3 | Enhanced Devoted 4 + Invig 4, Mobile Gonna try this out at Zukster later today!

[@johnm7788]

Thank you! Got my stone after about 5 attempts. I ended up using a Powder of protection and prayed melee for the Zuk fight, it made it such a breeze. If you can get to Zuk no problem but die to him then i would suggest the above method. Funny thing is, the only reason i know about powder of protection is because of your Vorkath guide. TYSM for all your help.

[@CAndranik]

The biggest problem I seem to have it the ghost taking all my adrenaline for the heal and not leaving me enough to burst down for different phases or use barricade for the challenge. Any tips on how to get past that? It causes me to fail most challenges and get stuck on the pizza time DPS check

[@mwyt345]

SAME!! i have to like wait until i autocast "Command ghost", then build up adren on zuk, start challenge, and hope the damn "Command" doesn't get cast again before challenge is over so i can use Finger of Death TWICE. lol lots to think about. From my poking around in settings there's no way around this. Did you get past this?

[@alexluzier2782]

Take it off your revo bar

[@Eyes0penNoFear]

I did it! Using this guide I was able to get my first kill just now!!!! Thank you! Although I'm devastated to realize that I can't use checkpoints if I want the cape 😭 On the plus side, I never have to make the walk of shame ever again. Now I can do the teleport of shame!

[@HackedGlitch265]

Can you explain WHY you have 16k HP? I have the same gear: T90 warden, max cape, t90 weapons, amulet of souls, etc. I take more damage. I deal less damage. WHY? What's the difference? Jas book? 120 Necro (I'm 106?)

[@creamysheeep]

thankyou so much for this guide, ive been struggling to get this cape for the last 2 weeks for necro, because of this amazing guide, i got it tonight. Youre the GOAT of RS

[@linkslayer15]

also how did you do 9k damage with threads of fate when i only do 2k?

[@MegaBlah200]

came here to say this guide does indeed still work, got my first zuk kill without dieing today, although it did take many many tries and i had to get a higher necro level currently 115. make sure to keep up darkness it makes a big difference, and dont tank meteor hit from zuk count auto attacks and res or something, it does to much damage to get through without much food. also first jad wave i found easier if after doing 1st challenge stay there by zuk and jad will spawn and get stuck to the south of your location.

[@betterthankylebad4260]

Also having the ghost auto casted seems to really mess me up sometimes where I need to barricade or something during that one challenge but my ghost just eats 70% of my adren

[@jamesocollects]

Yep this is the issue I'm having

[@Quake2Freak]

I think he only has basic abilities being triggered which keeps the conjures on cool down but doesn't command them. Edit: I am wrong, never mind.

@@Quake2Freak how do you do that :o

[@mwyt345]

dam i can't figure out a solution to this. he must be doing full manual haha lots of people are running into this. conjures and commands behave both as basic abilities. command should be a threshold ability IMO so we can turn that off in settings

still not able to get a kill with this set up.. no idea what I am doing wrong but I get hit so much harder than in the vid and I don't dis as much despite having exact same set up ;/ I give up.

[@etube27121]

i'm glad i'm not the only one. i can't make it past the two waves after the first challenge. the safe spot doesn't really work for me because i'm dragged out of it due to mages/rangers hitting me out of my own necro reach. so i just get swarmed each time. i'm eating 10 food before i even get to those waves. t90 weps, t90 tank armour. still getting destroyed.

[@SSXVegeta]

I always love these videos, cause I'll follow them, take 10x more damage do half as much damage, and nothing works out the same at all

[@DandySusano]

I'm confused. How come your ghost isn't firing off its special attack while it's in revo? If that question makes any sense...

im taking a lot more damage in the same gear and also my prayer drains so fast even when i focus the bats

He fails to mention he is using a penance powder. That helps with prayer. If you prayer is draining from bats though due to poor luck of targeting, just click them first.

AMAZING video - I FINALLY got the zuk cape after failing over and over since the release. You're a saint, thank you so much!

[@incrypted607]

Your revo bar advice is bunk. Unless I missed something, your command ghost ability will always automatically drain your adrenaline. Turning off auto threshold abilities in combat options doesn't fix this either. I'm assuming you just didn't buy the talent, but for those who did this method will not work. You must control your ghost manually.

[@max6680]

Yeah I was having the same issue too.

[@MegadethTillDeth]

Wasn't able to get it without the Aegis aura and the deathwarden gear, I was using t95 but this is a really great guide regardless and I'm going to give it another shot in a few days when my loyalty points accumulate so I can try with the aura.

[@nicholashoeh3235]

This video didn’t help with the fight. Dude is showing off and “forgets to mention” his buffs (you have to watch a different video to figure out what they are) and for beginners, camping soul split in SE corner will kill you. This video seems like it was for clout. I’m starting to believe the KZbinrs, like the rest of RS, are keeping their secrets close to their chests. Edit 1/11/24: New nerfs to the conjures make this method almost ineffective. 1/10, not recommended. The 1 point is for trying.

[@BunsenMusic]

Yup, can confirm. There are now fire spouts in the safe spots. That, combined with the Necromancy nerf, makes this guide pretty canned.

[@DontLeaveMeiii]

Thank you so much for the guide, I tried it twice failing the first run so I took the time to learn zuk himself. Then on my second run was blessed with a success and a Book Of Ful drop! was so shocked and happy :D

[@Darksteel165]

This video looks good,but as a guide it's outright terrible. I currently have 10 failed attempts and needed to throw out almost everyone this video said. Hellhound? dead by wave 5 even with scrolls. Zuk himself? Hes hitting me for 2400s with full t90 tank armor, max cape, and darkness. This video gives so much incorrect crap it's insane, even the safe spot itself is garbage, there's an 999999% better spot around the corner so things need to path around, if you stand where he does you will get demolished. Also use scythe on the Igneous TzekHaar-Xil, don't use death's grasp as it does no damage and doesn't stop them from healing. Blood Siphon on Igneous waves works pretty well with so many things nearby to heal up with. I think best to just take a yak full of food (sharks or better) and another pouch and drop the yak on zuk for a ripper maybe, or a hellhound at that point. Also Ghost healing is worthless don't bother with it and makes sure you have vamp aura, Penance, or even aegis is worthless because of the amount of damage getting taken. I really don't get how this guy makes a video and can be so offbase. Title is marked as "low input, revolution" we seem to have very differnet views of low input

you sound extremely bad. i followed this guide and was astonished how easy it was after putting off doing zuk since its release basically. git gud
