Bork


 * This article refers to Bork, the orc NPC. For the NPC in the ice caves on the Fremennik Isles, see Bork Sigmundson.

Bork is a level 267 Ork summoned by Surok Magis in the Chaos Tunnels: The Hunt for Surok miniquest. You need a Slayer level of 44 to kill him and can battle him once per day. Bork is in a Multi-combat area. He can be killed for 5000 Slayer experience the first time, but 250 daily.

Fighting Bork
Be aware that if you die while fighting Bork you will be unable to retrieve your items. Bork has fairly high defence, although he is weak to magical attacks. He attacks with melee, is immune to poison, and can hit up to 25. While you are fighting Bork, Surok (during the miniquest) or a Dagon'hai Elite (afterwards) will attack you with magic that can hit up to 27. One good plan of battle therefore is to use the Protect from Melee prayer to defend against Bork, wear Dragonhide armour to defend against magic, and bring high-healing food such as Sharks. If you fight Bork using melee, then wearing the Black mask or Slayer helmet will give you their benefits during the battle (tests made seem to prove this).

When Bork gets to around two-thirds health, he will summon 3-7 level 70 Ork legions, which will attack you using melee and range. (Three small orks form one ork legion. You will see nine small orks, but in a combat round you will only be attacked once per legion, not once per ork.) The Protect from Summoning prayer doesn't work any more. For high-level players, the legions aren't much of a threat, so these players can ignore them and focus on defeating Bork if they wish. Ork legions are sometimes killed for the charms they drop at a 100% rate.

There is a safe spot for fighting Bork along the west wall. If using ranged or magic, you can use Protect from Magic and avoid taking damage. Although, when the Ork legions appear, you should temporarily switch to Protect from Melee until you kill them, since they will attack you with melee when they appear.

When Bork dies, Surok or the Dagon'hai Elite will teleport away, and the cave will start to collapse. You will only have a short time to remain in the cave, so it is recommended you quickly grab the drops and teleport away.

The first time you kill Bork rewards you with 5,000 slayer experience, summoning charms, and possibly some coins and gems. After the miniquest, you can return and fight Bork once a day, receiving his drops again if you slay him. You only receive a little experience (about 250 experience points) each time you kill him after the miniquest. You cannot fight Bork more than once in the 24-hour time period starting at 0000 (UTC); trying to enter the portal to Bork's room too soon results in you seeing the message: 'The portal appears to have stopped working for now. Perhaps you should return later?'

Surok is only in the room with Bork during the miniquest. However, the Dagon'hai Elite who is there afterwards is just as dangerous as Surok, using magic attacks that can hit up to 27.

If a player dies after defeating Bork, or is disconnected near the end of the fight and manages to defeat Bork during the disconnect time, the player's dropped items will be found in the Dagganoth chamber at the entrance portal to Bork's chamber.

Getting there
Use the following maps to get to Bork quickly after you have done the miniquest. You will pass though the room with bronze dragons on the way to Bork, so either bring an Anti-dragon shield or be sure they are not near the portal before teleporting into that room.





Habitat
Chaos tunnels, Surok's room (also known as Bork's room).

Trivia

 * Because of the similarities between Bork and General Graardor, it is often theorised that Bork is an Ourg.
 * Because of his great size it is theorised that he may be the last Fayrg, or the last Raurg.
 * The word "Bork" may be a portmanteau of "big" and "ork".
 * The word "Bork" is very similar to the word "Borg," possibly referencing an antagonistic race from Star Trek. See Ork legion for further details.
