PvM Encyclopedia Guides - Normal Mode Kerapac (2024)

Kerapac is a dragonkin fighting under the control of Jas. Kerapac can be fought in teamsizes of 1-3, in either normal or hard mode.

If you would like a breakdown of Kerapac's mechanics as well as good ways to deal with them you can check the mechanics summary found here: #kerapac-hm-basic.

It is important to note that Kerapac is affected by the Nodon Dragonkin slayer task. The slayer helmet bonus, genocidal bonus, and the Premier Artefact slayer boost (10% chance to stop slayer count decreasing) will work on Kerapac; however, Tuska's Wrath will not be boosted, Dragon Slayer does not work, and Dragon Bane equipment does not work.

Kerapac's drops include three components to create the tier 95 Staff of Armadyl , and a pet with a new skin unlocked at 1,000 Hard Mode kills. He always drops 3 piles of loot regardless of teamsize. In a solo, a player will receive all 3 drops; in a trio, each player receives a drop; in a duo, the highest DPS receives two drops and the other receives one drop. It is important to note that Staff of Armadyl pieces are exclusive to hardmode encounters.

Explanation

This method will reliably allow you to get consistent Kerapac (NM) kills without needing much input or effort. It is recommended to have a slayer task (with slayer helm on your anachronia slayer lodge stand) when using this method, but it is not mandatory.

⬥ Aura choice can vary, but will affect how afk kills can be. They are listed in order of effectiveness:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Vampyrism Aura provides extra safety through its healing and allows more chances for poison damage. Due to the constant damage being taken while fighting Kerapac, this is by far the safest and most reliable aura choice to afk with.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Dark Magic provides extra damage, but you must pay more attention to both your HP and your prayer points.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Mahjarrat Aura provides extra damage, but does not give any extra poison procs. Still, it is a viable option as a secondary aura.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Do use Reckless for afking, as it will get you killed very easily.

⬥ This method requires you to teleport out after each fight to Wars' Retreat. There you should bank, heal to full or close to full, and channel the adrenaline crystals till 100% adrenaline before entering the fight again.

⬥ You should be using the soulsplit prayer for phases 1-3 and then switching to deflect magic for p4.

⬥ This method requires using an Eldritch Crossbow , due to hit chance constraints.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• If on a Nodon Dragonkin slayer task, a Wyvern Crossbow can be used instead.
