OSRS Zebak Guide: Waves, Jugs, Blood Magic & Strategy

Overview: Zebak at a Glance

Zebak is a full boss in the raid group, rated 4 out of 5 in our boss index and normally fought solo or team.

Before you can fight Zebak you need Tombs of Amascut.

Jugs and wave reading is what this fight actually asks of you, and it is the thing standing between you and raid points toward ToA uniques.

Its own attacks are melee, ranged and magic, so Protect from Melee, Missiles and Magic all have a job.

In our index it sits in the raid group at difficulty 4 of 5, where kill times come down to jugs and wave reading.

Access Requirements

Zebak is gated behind Tombs of Amascut.

Tombs of Amascut also tends to sit alongside the other raid gates, so it is usually cheaper to clear them together than to come back for each one. The boss requirements checklist lists them by group.

Location and How to Get There

Zebak is fought in the end of the Path of Crondis in the Tombs of Amascut.

Zebak closes the Path of Crondis. He accepted Amascut's offer of endless food in exchange for luring Crondis, which is why the room is built around water.

Drops and What Zebak Is Worth

Drops worth the trip: Raid points toward ToA uniques. Whether that is worth your time depends on how many kills an hour you personally get, which is a function of jugs and wave reading rather than of your gear list.

Combat Achievements

Zebak has Combat Achievement tasks. With a 38 max hit the restrictions are mostly about execution rather than survival.

Task lists move with updates — read the current list in game.

Ironman Notes

Without a Grand Exchange, raid points toward ToA uniques has to be earned rather than bought, and this is the fastest table it sits on.

• Ignoring that invocation creep kills learners
• Buying an upgrade before jugs and wave reading is consistent
• Gearing for Zebak before finishing Tombs of Amascut
• Walking in before prayers are on
