Vyrelord

Vyrelords are found during the quest The Branches of Darkmeyer in the high tier area within Darkmeyer. They're aggressive unless you are wearing the full Darkmeyer disguise. All the unattackable NPCs in the area will also shout "Human!"

They are the male version of the Vyrelady.

Fighting Them
Vyrelords can be fought with any armour; however, they are completely impervious to most weapons and poisons. They can only be poisoned with a Dreadnip, but otherwise they are only vulnerable to the ivandis flail and blisterwood weapons.

The corpses these drop can be cremated in the Paterdomus Columbarium. Cremating 500 corpses is a requirement for the Completionist Cape (t), as well as making the Blisterwood weapons and Flail more effective at killing Vyre monsters.

Please note that despite the bodies of Vyrelords, Vyreladies, and Vyrewatch of all different levels are identical (save a slight difference in appearance), they are considered different items and cannot stack with each other in your bank (similar vyre corpses will however still stack).

Since the update which enabled them to drop charms and ancient effigies, Vyrelords and Vyreladies have become one of the best sources of Ancient effigies, as their high combat level results in a greater drop rate compared to weaker monsters, yet they can be easily killed with the blisterwood weapons.

A great method to kill these monsters is to use the altar located west of the Darkmeyer bank which allows you to use all your prayers whilst they aggressively swarm towards you and to recharge your prayer points easily. However, due to the Evolution of Combat update, using protection prayers is no longer as effective in negating damage so this option is no longer recommended. However if magic defensive armour e.g. ganodermic is worn, then the Soul Split curse may be a viable option if the player can deal enough damage to heal themselves.

Melee
They are good for training due to the increased hits provided by the use of blisterwood weapons, all of which hit very high on them. The polearm is notably effective, and can easily hit over 800(pre eoc) with sufficient bonuses, like using Turmoil and an Extreme set. An ivandis flail may also be used, but this is not advised due to the flail's slightly lower stats compared to the polearm. The only reason could be the special effect, but once blisterwood weapons are 'unlocked' even that is less useful.

Melee is still viable after EoC, with berserk(ultimate ability) activated and boosted stats a maxed player will almost always kill these in one hit with basic abilities.

Magic
With blisterwood weapons mastered (500 corpses burnt), using magic to train either magic or defence has a tendency of giving one of the best experience rates in the game. Abilities such as asphyxiate will kill vyres extremely quickly, granting fast experience. You can constantly hit over 1000 against vyres, using magic. This gives upwards of to 250k magic or defence experience per hour, variant upon which experience you have chosen to train.

Ranged
With blisterwood weapons mastered (500 corpses burnt), using dual-wielded blisterwood stakes and extreme ranging potions to kill the vyrelords gives upwards of 160k ranged experience per hour, and with easy access to an altar, one can stay here for a very long time by using protect from or deflect magic prayers and with little attention as the vyrelords are aggressive when not wearing the darkmeyer disguise.

As of the Evolution of Combat, these now attack with Magic, and since protection prayers only offer 50% damage reduction versus monsters, it is now advised to carry food or a healing familiar such as bunyip or better. The area has also become a multicombat area, so be careful where you stand.

Trivia

 * If you attempt to talk to one whilst he is being attacked, you will receive a message saying "This vyre seems a bit busy".
 * Together with the Vyreladies and Vyrewatch, they drop the greatest number of different 100% drops (nine altogether).
 * As mentioned in the patch notes, charms are now being dropped. It has been confirmed by Mod Ana that they also now drop effigies.
