Griflolapine

Grifolapine, found at the third level of the Polypore Dungeon, are commonly killed to create the grifolic armour set. In addition, they are the only monster that drops the grifolic wand and grifolic shield.

It requires a Slayer level of 88 to kill, and 60 Magic for the player to receive as a Slayer assignment.

Requirements[]

The following are required to kill Grifolapines.

  • 88 Slayer. Boosts such as wild pies can be used to boost Slayer to 88; however, relying on boosting items will result in shorter trips and possibly longer kills.
  • Magic equipment, optimally water spells. Grifolapines have very high damage reduction against any non-magical attack, with all melee and ranged based attacks having a damage cap of 40 on them.

Recommendations[]

Skill levels[]

The following skill levels are recommended for killing Grifolapines. While they are not necessary, they will unlock valuable, helpful perks.

Suggested equipment[]

Generally, higher-tier Magic equipment is best against Grifolapines. However, expensive, top-tier armour such as seasinger's equipment and ganodermic armour may not be cost-effective at Grifolapines due to their high repair costs. For this reason, offensive armour is recommended above tank armour.
