Airut/Strategies

Airuts are high level slayer creatures that provide good combat and slayer experience. A slayer level of 92 is required to be damaged. Besides experience, they drop Airut bones, Rune items, noted herbs, and noted resources which make them very profitable.

Getting there
Airuts can be found either southwest of the Piscatoris fishing colony or west of the Phoenix lair on the peninsula or in Kuradal's dungeon. The fastest way to reach Airuts on the peninsula is to use the fairy ring teleport (code: ) and run west-southwest. The Airuts located here are more spread apart.

(Note: Players must be on slayer task in order to kill them in her dungeon)

Melee
Melee is an effective method to kill Airuts with their high defence. Since their defence increases over time, it is highly recommend to not try and kill them with any weapon lower than tier 80.

Players will find that a full inventory of food won't be required to kill them in one trip as their shark drops should help heal any damage done to them. 4-5 pieces of sharks should be sufficient to start off with if players know how to kill them efficiently.

One effective method to reduce the amount of banking per trip is to use the Penance aura in conjunction with Soul Split and Turmoil. Airuts tend to deal enough damage to players so prayer will be restored. Players most likely won't need more than one to two prayer/super restore/super prayer renewal potions per trip.

If players use the melee method to kill Airuts, it is recommend they attack those on all-fours since the ones standing on their hind legs have a higher defense against melee. When they pound their chest in this position, players should be using the Flurry ability to prevent potential massive damage from its corrosive bile. Players are encouraged to use dual wield weapons since two-handed weapons have no abilities to stop their special attack. One effective combo is to use Flurry to incapacitate them right after they pound their chest then use Decimate for a potential 5k+ hit.
