A player fighting with the Saradomin sword, a weapon obtainable from Commander Zilyana and her bodyguards.

Commander Zilyana is the leader of Saradomin's army in the God Wars Dungeon. She uses extremely accurate melee and magic attacks and can hit a maximum of 31, and her magic attack is multi-target, so Protect from Magic and good defensive armour is advised (full veracs armour or godsword is best). 70 agility as well as two ropes and 40 kills on Saradominists is required to reach her. A big team is highly advised if you plan on staying long. She has 3 guards: Growler (magic), Bree (ranged) and Starlight (melee). She is also said to be an Icyene, an ancient race of winged beings, chosen by Saradomin to guard his hilt. She also drops her weapon, the mighty Saradomin sword.

Commander Zilyana should not be underestimated, as she is the sixth strongest monster in RuneScape, after General Graardor, K'ril Tsutsaroth, TzTok-Jad, the Spirit Beast and the Corporeal Beast, and so is the fifth highest leveled attackable monster, as the Spirit Beast cannot be attacked.

Soloing Method

The soloing method involves a tactic known as Hit-and-Run, also used when grouping her. What you basically do is you attack Zilyana, and quickly move back before she can attack you. If you melee, you will take 1 or 2 hits. However, if you range, you can keep hitting and running, and restoring energy with purple sweets or with Tireless Run Scrolls.

Players should run from corner to corner, because Zilyana chases you from to corner to corner.

Zilyana can kill you VERY fast with her melee attacks, depending on your defence and hitpoints levels if you are in her melee range, so avoiding her head on is highly encouraged. She attacks as fast as darts and can hit in the early 30's.

If you need to eat or drink Saradomin Brews, drink or eat, and run to another corner, repeat until your health is full.

Zamorak Godswords are very useful as the special attack freezes Zilyana for 20 seconds, giving you plenty of time to eat and prepare.
