Spiritual warrior

The Spiritual warrior is a powerful melee user inhabiting God Wars Dungeon that can easily kill low-level players. Protect from Melee is not recommended for high-levelled players, as a large portion of their combat level consists of defence and life points. There are four types of Spiritual warriors: Saradominist, Zamorakian, Bandosian, and Armadylian.

The Armadylian spiritual warriors use a Ranged attack and cannot be attacked with melee. Zamorakian warriors wear what appears to be a kind of red Dharok's set, a steel kiteshield, and an anger mace from the Soul's Bane quest. Saradomin warriors wear a kind of steel-Saradomin armour and wield in one hand what seems a combination of a steel 2h sword and a Saradomin sword.

Spiritual warriors frequently drop mithril equipment, adamant equipment and rune equipment, so it is advisable to bring runes for High Level Alchemy. These Slayer Monsters can be assigned by Duradel/Lapalok or Sumona.

Types
There are four types of Spiritual warriors:
 * Saradomin (Level 125)
 * Zamorak (Level 115)
 * Bandos (Level 134)
 * Armadyl (Level 123).

Habitat(s)

 * Saradomin, Armadyl, Zamorak and Bandos bases of the God Wars Dungeon

A good place to kill Spiritual Warriors is just outside of the Zamorak Boss chamber as it is usually fairly quiet and there's plenty of them around. 70 Constitution is required to access the Zamorak base. It should be noted that your prayer points will be completely drained upon entering. It is highly recommended to use a Zamorakian spear when fighting the Warriors in the Zamorak area, as the monsters there will no longer attack you and it provides a great Stab bonus.

If you kill them in the Zamorak area, you might find it useful to wear Guthan's set to heal yourself and a Zamorak Arrow to prevent aggression from the Zamorak followers. This is because the God Wars Dungeon is a long way from a bank if you run out of food, and spiritual warriors can hit fairly hard even if you have 80+ defence. Additionally, the Zamorak area does not contain followers of other gods, so the Zamorak Spiritual Warriors will never be distracted from hitting you. Guthan's spear also allows you to hit hard with stab attacks.

Tactics
Spiritual Warriors are extremely easy to kill. There is no need for food or a Bunyip if one has 70+ defence and a Enhanced Excalibur. This is due to the fact that they prioritize other God's followers over the player, even if the player attacked the Spiritual Warrior first. It is recommended that one uses a Saradomin Sword, and a Zamorak Cape. This enables the player to avoid being attacked from these specific Gods. A good place to use this tactic is in front of the entrance to the Saradomin area or in the first part of the Saradomin area, where Zamorakian Werewolves and Vampires will constantly spawn to distract the Saradomin Spiritual Warriors from you.

Trivia

 * Spiritual warriors originally dropped level 2 clue scrolls, but were updated to drop level 3.
 * Although the Saradomin Spiritual warriors wield swords, they seem to be attacking their enemies by punching them, rather than hitting them with the sword. When defending from an attack, they also defend as if they had no hand equipment, despite the kiteshield.
