• Drops distribution : Coinshare

The requirements to access the Bandos Boss chamber are:

• Partial completion of the Troll Stronghold quest.
• 43 Prayer (Highly recommended)
• 70 Strength

This is a dangerous activity. If you die, you will lose your items and will need to reclaim them from Death or your grave.

General Graardor is the Ourg general of Bandos in the God Wars Dungeon. He is accompanied by his 3 sergeants, Sergeant Strongstack, Sergeant Steelwill, and Sergeant Grimspike.

Getting there

General Graardor is within God Wars Dungeon, and it is recommended to at least have Trollheim Teleport (Lunar) unlocked. You can also use God wars teleport or a Max Guild boss portal tuned to General Graardor. From Trollheim, climb down the cliffsides go north past the thrower trolls, past the large rock, and down the entrance into the dungeon near the wolves. Once there, run northwest and open the door into Bandos' Stronghold - this requires 70 Strength, which is not boostable.

To get into the boss room, you need 40 Bandos followers inside the dungeon. This can be done anywhere in the dungeon. All monsters in the dungeon are aggressive to those that do not display an item of allegiance to their god. The shard of Zaros, Ancient Book, and any piece of equipment dropped by Nex will render all combatants in the main dungeon docile. For a full list of protection items, see God Wars Dungeon#God-related protection.

In general, GWD1 bosses are extremely easy in a mass, even the hard mode versions, so it doesn't really matter what gear you bring.

The fight

Graardor can attack using melee and ranged, and his body guards each fight with 1 specific style — all together, covering the entire combat triangle. Literally just hit him until he dies, then repeat for the rest of the event. Don't go overboard on gear or food or familiars because you really won't need much at all.
