In the beginning, it’s worth pointing out that during the battle you won’t notice Yakamaru walking for the greater part. Yakamaru will move between pools when his energy is depleting. The pools in the room will show the phase in which Yakamaru showcases different styles and capabilities. You’ll have to deal in a total of five phases and deal with more than 5,600,000 damages.
In the course of the fight, Yakamuru will strike everyone within a 20×20 radius. There won’t be melee attacks in your direction as such, but instead magical attacks that are melee distance. If you are three or more spaces from the boss, you’ll then be attacked with the ranged attack instead. The attack will consist of tentacles rising from the ground and striking the victim. With this in mind, players that attack Yakamaru can take any damage that comes from it. To stop this you must use Devotion or debilitate throughout. This will help to reduce the harm that you do.
For DPS players, it is important to ensure that you are within prayer range of the boss. The accuracy that Yakamaru has is extremely high, however, you can prepare yourself for this by having good defences and armour. In turn, you can expect certain boss attacks to miss however, it will be followed up by attack that won’t hit. The strength of this hit is half the damage that would be caused if the first attack had landed. If you are the tank character at this point, ensure that you are wearing the most powerful armor you can get on. Simply adopt the method of tanking Yakamaru from a distance that is melee, and you will be good.
Leaving the Fight
If you try to get out of the fight, you’ll receive a warning that Yakamaru isn’t taking to your cowardice well. The messages are different based on the circumstance. If you are out of fight with your boss, then you’ll receive the message, “Yakamaru is displeased with your lack of courage, and throws hazardous projectiles on you!” which will lead to 2,000 injuries being caused to combatants. The only way you could leave a failed kill would be to request the leader of the group to kick you out or by taking yourself out of the group.
RuneScape Yakamaru Boss team roles
There are numerous roles you need to take on when fighting the boss. For example, we will have the Base Tank, which will serve as the main goal of Yakamaru. The Base Tank is able to absorb the higher damage that is taken in the fight. Also, there’s a Poison Tank and it is responsible for getting Yakamaru’s poison when at the end every pool. It is then used by Yakamaru to be killed.
The CPR role meanwhile is to aid those who are in the Poison Tank after Yakamaru was poisoned and also to help the North Tanks to do damage to the boss. The three tanks are based of stun DPS and distractions from sand tanks and to eliminate mirages that are to the north. This will help to prevent them with killing your team members. There’s the Shark Tag too which will come into effect during the mirage phase. This will prevent the death of DPS characters during this end part of the game.
Applying the Roles
If you’re a DPS you can simply take on the enemy using everything you have. There is no need to think too much about your boss in terms of the damage you take You just have to be sure you’re performing well in your rotations.
If you are at the shark pool segment, go to the north side of the pool tendril to avoid the majority of the destruction caused by sharks. In the sand pool, you’ll need to concentrate on removing them from the sand before you can dish out more damage in order to avoid injury. Do not use stun abilities on the stun pools too to avoid affecting magic or melee.
By forcing Yakamaru into the next phase it is causing more damage, whilst having less jellies sprouting. This might not occur during sand or mirage phases since you’re taking them down as fast as is possible.
When you are the poison Tank As the Poison Tank, you play the responsibility of simply grabbing the poison and then applies it to Yakamaru whenever it is possible to kill the boss. The CPR is a different DPS that assists the Poison Tank once it has completed its task. They are both simple yet effective roles to play in this battle.
There is also the sand tank which will be working in an identical way to it is the Base Tank during the mirage phase. If you’re not keen to use tanking in this scenario, you can go full DPS over the pool, using your final on the pool. This will help the DPS players when they’re done with the tendrils and sharks.
The shark, or Shark Tag will be luring away the focus on DPS in the course of mirage. You won’t need to worry about tanking much here since we’re able to do the most damage we can. In the Stun DPS meanwhile is going be focusing on the stun pool, and will take it out the moment it shows up. We discussed the Base Tank earlier too, who will have to ensure that they are wearing the best protection and armor available. This is because the boss is likely often and hard and, if you’re to be successful in winning against him, then you’ll need to be on your guard.
Conclusion
