K'ril Tsutsaroth

"Once thought of as nothing more than a myth, this beast of the darkness has destroyed towns and levelled entire cities, leaving nobody alive to confirm his existence. This intense brutality and strength has ensured his position as one of Zamorak's most feared tools of destruction. His powerful melee attacks will crush all but the strongest of warriors."

K'ril Tsutsaroth is the fifth strongest monster in RuneScape after Nomad, TzTok-Jad, the Corporeal Beast, and Nex. He was summoned to RuneScape in the Third Age by the Mahjarrat Bilrach, and is now the boss of the Zamorak Fortress in the God Wars Dungeon. To gain access to his chamber, players must kill 40 Zamorakians. He uses melee and magic attacks, hitting up to 463 with the former and 300 with the latter. K'ril Tsutsaroth has a special attack that slams through your protection prayer and may hit up to 497. When he does he will lower your prayer points by one-twentieth of the amount of damage done. Players should still use Protect from Melee however, as he won't hit as often as he would without it. Another viable option is to use Protect from Magic with extremely high defensive armours such as Barrows. The benefits of this are that K'ril's relatively common Magic attacks will be blocked, his attacks will be easier to resist, and the special attack will be avoided, meaning fewer massive hits and Prayer drains. K'ril has a surprisingly low Defence level for his combat level meaning that hitting him is fairly easy, although his low Defence is counter-balanced by his ability to hit through a player's prayer.

He is most often killed for the Zamorak hilt, but some players kill him (or his bodyguards) for Slayer.

K'ril's attacks are poisonous and start at 168 life points per hit, making him the second most poisonous monster in the game. Being such a poisonous monster, K'ril is immune to all forms of poison. K'ril Tsutsaroth also says the following lines:
 * Attack them, you dogs!
 * Forward!
 * Death to Saradomin's dogs!
 * Kill them, you cowards!
 * The Dark One will have their souls!
 * Zamorak curse them!
 * YARRRRRRR! (Only when hitting through prayers!)
 * Rend them limb from limb!
 * No retreat!
 * Flay them all!

If K'ril Tsutsaroth yells "YARRRRRRR!", players will get the following message: K'ril Tsutsaroth slams through your protection prayer, leaving you feeling drained. This is K'ril Tsutsaroth's attack that hits through prayer, which also drains the player's prayer points by 1/20 the damage done.

K'ril Tsutsaroth is classified as a Greater demon; thus, killing him counts towards any Greater Demon Slayer Task, and also allows a player to take advantage of the abilities of a Black mask or Slayer helmet, if they have a Greater Demon Slayer Task. Players will earn 350.5 Slayer experience if they slay K'ril Tsutsaroth on their Greater demon slayer task. Before December 31, K'ril Tsutsaroth was classified as a lesser demon.

General Strategy
Tanks are of incredible importance in this boss fight. However, to lengthen each trip, it is helpful if members of the team take turns being the target of the demon's attacks.
 * Having one of the team members bring a Fruit Bat with Fruitfall scrolls works very effectively here, as it heals players in between rounds. The main drawback of bringing this familiar, however, is that the summoner has to stay alive and not use a Spirit Terrorbird or War Tortoise to hold food and supplies. Two of the best familiars to use are the Unicorn Stallion and the Pack Yak; the Unicorn's scrolls will heal you up to 150 life points each, and the Yak can bank items for you (assuming you brought scrolls) as well as storing 30 items.
 * Using the Darklight's special attack is very helpful, as that it only uses 50% of the energy bar and weakens the demon's defence more effectively than the bandos godsword does.
 * When soloing, a bandos godsword (or darklight using an abyssal whip or another one handed weapon) is almost the best way to get the most kills per trip due to the defence reducing capabilities, if you are wearing karils, with a helm of neitiznot, and a zamorak cape and a fury amulet, most of the minions will not be able to damage you, as you will have some decent defence against all forms of combat, and you will only take damage from the boss' attack when he hits through your prayers, and occasionally from his magic attack, and if you forgot an antipoison.
 * Because of the new dungeoneering equipment, most players who prefer to solo this boss, use a combo of darklight/bandos godsword/statius warhammer with the chaotic rapier, because of its attack style. It is advised to bring special restores and overloads to save valuble space, also, this means that you will have enough inventory space to either shark-brew or rock-brew. This can be incredibly handy if K'ril Tsutsuroth hits through your prayer because you can heal 500+lp within seconds, and not face drained stats (overload effect - +15 to boosted stats every 15 seconds)
 * Also, when fighting him, most players will use protect from magic while not tanking, even though he only targets one person. If you are wearing karils, you will only need one or two prayer potions a trip, and you do not need any defence against the minions!

Trivia

 * According to the 16th Chronicle of Bilrach, Bilrach created and summoned K'ril Tsutsaroth for Zamorak.
 * K'ril Tsutsaroth used to be classed as a Lesser Demon by slayer masters, but an unannounced change in late 2010 or early 2011 made him be classed as a Greater Demon.
 * In game, K'ril Tsutsaroth has two scimitars but in the Runescape Duel Cards he has one.
 * Previously, equipping an Anti-poison totem would not prevent K'ril from causing poison. This was fixed on 15 June 2010.
 * K'ril Tsutsaroth yells "The Dark One will have their souls!" and in Divine Skinweaver's journal it has reference to a Dark One, giving further evidence that Bilrach created K'ril Tsutsaroth.
 * He is the only God Wars Dungeon boss that cannot target multiple players in the room and is one of the only two GWD bosses that have a dark room, the other one being Nex when she's in her shadow phase and says: "Embrace the darkness!"
 * On 20 September 2010 Mod Emily confirmed that in a future update, K'ril Tsutsaroth and his minions will be changed to be classified as Greater Demons to Slayer Masters via Twitter.
 * At one point, it was believed that K'ril was a Kal'Gerion demon, as his appearance is very similar to the old models for the Kal'Gerion demons, however, after their graphical update, this similarity no longer exists.
