Saradomin sword

For the weapon with a Saradomin hilt, see Saradomin Godsword.

The Saradomin sword is a Two handed sword which can be obtained in the God Wars Dungeon as a drop from Commander Zilyana and her bodyguards. It requires 70 attack to wield. It has a special attack, "Saradomin's Lightning", which adds 5-16 extra magic-based damage to the standard melee attack, and also gives magic experience for using. In other words, the special deals two attacks: the melee attack that the player would normally have hit without the special, and an extra magical attack that can deal 5-16 damage, however the lightning can also miss. The special attack requires use of all of the special bar. Its overall stats are the third best for a Two-Handed Sword, only being surpassed by the Dragon two-handed sword and the various Godswords.

The Sword gives the same strength and slash bonus as an Abyssal whip with an additional crush and prayer bonus. The Saradomin Sword also attacks at the same speed as the whip. Its ability to train strength is an advantage. However, the whip is a one handed weapon, and can be wielded with a shield or a defender. For this reason, the whip is considered to be a better weapon overall.

The price of this item has fallen over time as more are introduced to the game. Many players go in teams to defeat Commander Zilyana in the God Wars Dungeon, leading to many drops.

Monsters that drop the Saradomin Sword:

 * Commander Zilyana- The user of the sword.
 * As stated on the God Wars Dungeon FAQ the three bodyguards (Starlight, Growler and Bree) also drop the sword.
