Elvarg

Elvarg is a green dragon. She is the dragon players have to kill in the Dragon Slayer quest.

The dragon's gender is unknown; however, the dragon is commonly assumed to be female in order to explain the rise of a new Elvarg after a successful quest.

Fighting strategy
When players fight her, they should only have an anti-dragon shield, a one-handed weapon (preferably a rune scimitar or a rune battleaxe, though a rune longsword has also been found effective), and two pieces of armour (preferrably rune platelegs with a rune chainbody or adamant platebody). The rest of the inventory should be filled with food. Lobsters or swordfish are recommended, depending on the level of the player and their skill at obtaining the food.

Players should only use melee against her, as it is hard to hide behind the pillars in her room. It is also recommended that players do not run around while fighting her as she will continue to deal damage while the player does nothing.

The dragon has also apparently been defeated by archers; players can wield a crossbow and the needed shield at the same time as the crossbow is one-handed. The player, if they have a high ranged skill, can hide behind cover and fire bolts until the dragon is felled, while incurring less damage from the fire.

Tips

 * Do not bring more than three items when fighting her. Players are recommended that they bring a rune scimitar or battleaxe, rune legs, and an adamant platebody or rune chainbody.


 * Bring a large amount of food when fighting her.


 * When fighting her, players must wield an anti-dragon shield. If a player chooses not to wear the shield, she can deal up to 40 damage (and even more on RuneScape Classic).


 * Members can drink an anti-fire potion so that her fire breath doesn't do as much damage. If combined with an anti-dragon shield, fire breath will do little damage to the player.


 * When she is defeated, players will be teleported out, and can never fight her again.
