Zachory Bragg

Zachory Bragg is a follower in the Burgh De Rott Ramble Activity. Players can escort him to Burgh De Rott for a reward. He utilises Magic to aid in combat when on the ramble, starting with Water Bolt learning more spells as he gains levels.

Zachory's basic equipment consists of a blue Wizard hat, robe, skirt, and boots, Splitbark gauntlets, a (Battle)staff and a yellow Team cape.

Training notes

 * Ghast events are by far the easiest. See below.
 * Swamp snakes could be okay, but are very accurate themselves, certainly at lower levels this could be dangerous. Giant Snails are even more of a worry, since they can range, you should be even more careful. It is possible to train Zachory in the Giant Snail encounter by killing all but 1 snail in the north west corner and have Zachory over the pond farcasting further than the snail can attack.
 * Nail beasts may be considered a good alternative to Ghasts. It has also been discovered that in a nail beast event, you can trap the nail beasts behind the lake on the east side of the map and have Zachory safespot them for easy levels.
 * If your follower is able to predict what happens ahead, it may be a good idea to pack some Prayer items so you can pray against the advasaries attacks, taking all the hits making sure you do not have to worry about your follower's health.
 * In addition, it maybe faster and easier if you were to cast Defence lowering spells like Curse or Vulnerability, or use a weapon's Special attack that can do the same. This will make your follower even more effective.

At low levels, Zachory's water bolt can be very slow and inaccurate - especially on higher levelled opponents, and as such makes him a difficult companion to level by combat alone. It can thus be much more effective to aim in leading him through a high number of tasks until he reaches level 59 and attains a stronger spell, rather than tanking in front of him as you might with other companions. Alternatively, players wishing to train him at low levels may consider choosing the Easy or Medium paths in order to give him opponents he is able to hit.

Ghasts
The most effective way to level Zachory (as well as Pazuzu) is by letting them kill Ghasts. This can be done during a normal Ghast event, or during the event where adventurers have to be fed in order to not turn into a Ghast (hence do not feed them).


 * At the regular event you will probably have no choice but to pray against the Ghasts, attacking them once (with a weak and inaccurate weapon, maybe even a fun weapon) drawing their attention. Stand in front of your follower, let them do the work. Sometimes it is possible to trap the ghasts on the opposite side of the bend in the river at the west side of the event, saving prayer and druid pouches.


 * The latter event is 100% safe. Walk all the way up north, behind the bushes, and wait there until the adventurers turn into Ghast.

Trivia

 * Zachory appears to be a spoof of Zapp Brannigan, a character from the animated series Futurama. This is seen in his dialogue, as well as in his name itself.
 * Before the update, there was an Apprentice mage. Now he has been reworked into Zachory.
 * Once Zachory becomes level 79, he wields a Saradomin staff. This is odd since some of his dialogue when predicting what lies ahead for each path suggests he is a follower of Guthix. Also despite wielding a Saradomin staff, he does not cast Saradomin Strike, the corresponding god spell for the staff.
