Bandos



Bandos is one of six runescape gods. General Graardor is the last of his race, a race bred by bandos for his armies. He is now trapped in the godwars dungeon still fighting hundreds of years after the war ended.

General Graardor and his three henchman, Sergeant Strongstack who uses melee; Sergeant Steelwill, who uses magic; and Sergent Grimspike, who uses Ranged, are very high hitting.

It is recommended that you use protect from melee prayer when fighting him, but he does have a ranged attack that attacks everyone in the room up to 500 damage.

Tactics & equipment
Graardor has 3 followers that attack with different combat styles, mage, range and melee. So you should fight them in order of how effective they are against you, leaving the weakest until last. For example magic is highly effective against melee so you should target sergeant steelwill, the magic henchman and kill him first, therefore reducing the potential health loss. Then you should target sergeant grimspike, the range henchman and finnaly sergeant strongstack and general graardor.

Whilst fighting you should stand away from Graardor, so that the henchman your currently fighting is inbetween you and Graardor. This stops Graardor from attacking and therefore saves you from the potential devastation of his ranged attack.

Solo
It is fairly common for players to solo the bandos godwars room since it's relatively easy compared to other godwars chambers. Players should prepare a strong setup before taking on this boss, in addition they should make sure they have appropriate stats to be able to fight this boss well.

They should have atleast 85 defence, 90 attack, 90 stengh, 90 constitution and atleast 43 prayer for protect from melee, although it is recommded to get 71 for deflect melee and 95 for turmoil.
