Overview of Gorilla Bones

Gorilla Bones are a unique item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that are dropped by gorillas found in the Karamja Jungle, specifically in the area surrounding the Monkey Madness quest. These bones are distinctive due to their association with the gorilla NPCs, which are a part of the game’s rich lore surrounding the Monkey Isles. Players can use Gorilla Bones for various purposes, including summoning familiars, experience training, and even for quests.

Where to Find Gorilla Bones

Gorilla Bones can be obtained by killing gorillas in the Karamja Jungle. These beasts are commonly located in:

Monkey Madness II Area: Near the entrance to the Monkey Madness II dungeon, players can find the gorillas.
North of the Karamja Volcano: The gorillas here are more accessible and are a popular farming spot for players seeking Gorilla Bones.

Players should be cautious of the surrounding wildlife and the aggressive nature of monkeys in the area. It’s advisable to have combat gear and food when hunting for these bones.

Prayer Experience: Each Gorilla Bone grants 4 Prayer experience when used on an altar or with the Bonecrusher.
Stacking: Gorilla Bones can be stacked in the inventory, allowing players to carry multiple bones without taking up too much space.

Combat Strategy When Hunting Gorillas

Engaging gorillas effectively requires some strategy to minimize damage taken and maximize bones collected:

Bring Food: Always carry food to heal during combat, especially if you’re low-level.
Use Ranged Attacks: If you’re a ranged player, attacking from a distance can help manage damage.
Team Up: Consider teaming up with other players to take down gorillas more efficiently, especially in a busy area.
