I am stuck on the Dragon Slayer 2 quest and I am looking for some help with the current fight against Robert the Strong.

I would like to see if it is possible complete this fight without having to level up defense/attack/strength too much.

My Current Combat related Stats for reference:
Attack: 51
Strength: 55
Defense: 50
Range: 85
Prayer: 84
Magic: 99
Hit Points: 72

I have tried the fight against Robert The strong using prayer for range and using various weapons with crush abilities like the rune 2h, granite maul and the alike that I could use at my current level. I have also attempted to run to the pillars before his magic attack. This was to no forward progress toward my completion of the quest to my dismay and disappointment after numerous fights. That being said I have some questions.

Is it even possible to complete this fight with my combat stats?

Do you have any suggestions or ideas on a strategy for the fight against Robert The Strong?

What combat related items would you use at my current level?

Should I give up on this quest?

Regards,
Your Favorite Osrs player,

First off, I highly recommend bringing a faster, 1-handed weapon. Your best Crush option at your level is likely the Granite Hammer, which will set you back about 110k on the GE. This will result in higher DPS compared to a 2 handed weapon, while also allowing you to equip a shield. It also has a nice spec that massively increases accuracy and guarantees 5 more damage on hit. And make sure to stack up as much ranged defense as you can. Granite armor has the highest ranged defense stats at your level. If you take in full granite with the shield, you're looking at 282 ranged defense. You can easily bump that over 300 with a cape/ring/amulet.

Second, bring a divine super combat potion. You're going to want to boost those melee stats as high as possible during the fight as you're going to struggle with mid 50's to hit. Just make sure you remember it deals 10 damage to you when you drink it.

Third, bring an absolute ton of food. Some anglers to heal big hits, and some Saradomin brews and super restores for more healing. These combo very well with the constantly refreshing stat boost of the divine super combat pot.

Fourth, if you're really struggling to dodge the magic attacks, you might as well take advantage of them. I see you have the level for Vengeance; use it. Send some damage back his way and heal up after. If he hits a 50 on you, you're sending a 38 back his way. 3 of those and he's already half dead.

Finally, just keep trying. Eventually, even if you're not statistically likely to do it, RNG will prevail and you will get some lucky hits.

Good luck my friend! Now with added

Thank you for your response!

You gave me lots to think about, I really appreciate the advise and your time.

I didn't realize the granite maul and granite hammer were two different weapons I thought they were the same but I was sadly mistaken.

I never used the vengeance magic spell is there any specific requirements to cast this spell besides my lvl 99?

Thanks in Advance,

Cheers,

Vengeance simply requires 94 Magic and completion of Lunar Diplomacy, which you have to have already done to do DS2. Robert has an animation and wind-up for his magic attack, just cast it during that so his ranged attack doesn't activate it instead.

If you give me an idea of the budget you have, I can inform you of an ideal loadout you may want to try.

I ran your stats through a DPS calculator against Robert. And with the Hammer, divine super combat, and piety, you have about a 31% accuracy against him, which isn't too bad for your stats, especially when combo'd with Vengeance damage. Now with added

Shoot i dont remember it too well. I used guthans and blood fury i think for the healing, he was still kind of tough took me a couple tries. I swear there was a safespot for him or a flinch feature or something for pures.
