How to Beat grotesque guardians in OSRS

If you’re a fan of Old School RuneScape, or OSRS, then you have definitely seen your fair share of small enemies and big bosses along the way. But if you’re having the issue of finishing off the duo of the Grotesque Guardians, a set of Gargoyles that swap back and forth during their fight, then you aren’t alone. Their fight can be a bit complex, though once you get the flow of it, it’s a piece of cake. So, here’s how to beat the Grotesque Guardians in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). Let’s check it out!

How to Beat grotesque guardians in OSRS

When it comes to going toe-to-toe with the Grotesque Guardians, you’re going to want to make sure that you’ve got either the Guardians or Gargoyles set as your current slayer task. From there, make sure that you’ve also equipped the needed weapons to kill them; a granite hammer, rock hammer, or even a rock throwhammer.

Once you’re ready to fight the Grotesque Guardians, ring the bell that’s on their tower, and they’ll come to fight. Once the fight begins, your first focus should be on fending off one of the Guardians, Dawn (purple), with various ranged attacks. Make sure you are parrying Dusk (orange in the meantime). After you’ve chipped away half of her health, she’ll evade you. Then you can focus on the other, Dusk.

Dusk fires explosive attacks that can drop environmental items, and he even stuns you, so be careful. His wings will indicate his attacks for you to anticipate. Hit him with melee attacks until he’s swapped out at half-health for Dawn yet again. At this point, there will be orange and purple portals that you’ll need to stand clear of until they disappear.

Dawn will then begin firing lightning attacks at you to dodge. Dawn will begin dropping orbs that can heal her, but unless they’re near, just focus on attacking her. Keep hitting her with ranged weapons. Once she’s dead, Dusk comes back into the fight but with more difficulty, as he’s absorbed her.

Continue hitting him with ranged attacks but be careful of his new attacks that hit much harder. He’ll often toss you into fire prisons, but can be escaped by going through the single square opening. At this point, switch to melee attacks to finish him off. Once you finally slay him, the fight will be over and the rewards for your trouble will have been earned!
