How to Kill Vet’ion in OSRS for Easy Gold – Beginner-Friendly 2025 Guide
Yo, what’s good, adventurers? Wanna make some serious cash in Old School RuneScape by taking down Vet’ion? This skeletal boss in the Wilderness is a total goldmine, and I’m here to break it down for you newbies in 2025. Yeah, the Wilderness can be sketchy with PKers, but don’t sweat it I’ve got the tips to keep you alive and stacking GP. Why’s Vet’ion worth your time? His loot table’s stacked, and with the right moves, you can pull in 5M+ GP an hour! Let’s get into it, fam.
Who’s This Vet’ion Dude?
Vet’ion’s a Zamorakian skeleton champ chilling in Vet’ion’s Rest, a dungeon in level 35 Wilderness, just north of the Bone Yard and south of Lava Dragon Isle. He’s got two forms: a purple Normal Form and a spicy orange Enraged Form. Both are tanky, but he’s weak to Crush attacks, and since he’s undead, a Salve Amulet will make you hit like a truck. Why bother? His drops, like the Ring of the Gods or Dragon Pickaxe, can straight-up change your bank.
Why Grind Vet’ion?
- Juicy Loot: Solo kills average 140K GP, or 142K on a Krystilia Slayer task.
- Easy for Noobs: His attacks are dodgeable, so you can take zero damage with some practice.
- Slayer Perks: His Skeleton Hellhounds drop Larran’s Keys, boosting your profits.
- Low Risk, High Reward: You can go budget and still make bank.
Sound dope? Bet. Let’s figure out how to get there and clap this boss.
Getting to Vet’ion’s Lair
First up, you gotta reach Vet’ion’s spot. It’s a dungeon that costs 50K GP to enter (yo, it pulls straight from your bank), but the fee drops by 10K per kill if you deal the most damage. Die to a PKer? Gotta pay again, so stay woke. Here’s how to roll up:
- Games Necklace: Zap to Corporeal Beast’s Lair, dip out the cave, and jog north.
- Wildy Obelisk: Teleport to level 35 obelisk from Ferox Enclave or your POH, then head east.
- Revenant Cave Teleport: Pop to the caves, then run southeast.
- Annakarl Tablet: Tele to Annakarl, then hustle southwest.
- Hunter Cape (99 Hunter): Zip to black chins and run east.
- Waka Canoe (57 WC): Grab a bronze axe, paddle to the Wildy, and leg it east.
Yo, Pro Move: Pack a one-click tele like a Ring of Duelling. PKers show up, you’re outta there. Wilderness ain’t playing.
Vet’ion’s Moves: What’s He Hitting With?
Vet’ion’s got some tricks, but you can dodge ‘em all if you’re quick. Here’s the vibe:
- Lightning Bolts: Throws three bolts in a 3×3 area. One’s on you, two are random (more if you’re with a squad). Spot the circle shadow and step two tiles out. Ez clap.
- Melee Swings: Hits up to three tiles away. Stay back, and you’re chillin’.
- Shield Slam: Big AoE that stuns you for a sec. Watch for the shadow and bounce.
- Earthquake: Smacks everyone nearby for up to 45 damage. No blocking, just move.
- Skeleton Hellhounds: At 50% health, he calls two Level 194 Skeleton Hellhounds (Normal Form) or Level 231 Greater Skeleton Hellhounds (Enraged Form). They hit hard but got 30 HP. Vet’ion’s immune till they’re gone, so focus ‘em down.
- Phase Swap: When Normal Form hits 0 HP, he flips to Enraged Form, full health, faster attacks, and more damage. He drops a lightning blast during the switch stand under him to dodge it.
Quick Q: Can you avoid all hits? Yup, if you’re on point. Hard? Nah, just get the rhythm.
Gear: Keep It Cheap, Keep It Real
Wilderness means don’t bring what you can’t lose. Vet’ion’s in level 35 Wilderness, so no teleports, and PKers are lurking. Here’s a budget setup for you newbies:
| Slot | Item | Why It Slaps |
|---|---|---|
| Head | Helm of Neitiznot | Cheap, solid crush bonus, won’t cry if you lose it. |
| Amulet | Salve Amulet (e) | Juices your damage on undead. Non-negotiable. |
| Cape | Mythical Cape | Budget prayer and defense boost. |
| Body | Proselyte Armour | High prayer bonus, cheap, keeps you praying longer. |
| Legs | Proselyte Tassets | Matches body, more prayer for your buck. |
| Weapon | Abyssal Bludgeon | Strong crush, affordable for mid-levels. |
| Shield | Dragon Defender | Boosts strength and attack, but protect it (lost past level 20). |
| Gloves | Barrows Gloves | Decent strength, worth risking if you’re careful. |
| Boots | Dragon Boots | Better than climbing boots, still low risk. |
| Ring | Ring of Wealth (i) | Doubles elite clue chance, barely any risk. |
Flex Upgrades for Big Spenders
Got some extra GP and feeling bold? Peep these:
- Ursine Chainmace or Viggora’s Chainmace: 50% attack bonus in Wildy, stacks with Salve for crazy DPS.
- Fighter Torso (l): +4 strength, small risk.
- Ferocious Gloves: Melee stats go brr, but high risk.
- Fire/Infernal Cape: More strength, but guard it with your life.
Heads Up: Trouver Parchments to protect items like the Torso are pricey. Only risk what you’re cool with losing.
Inventory: Pack Smart, Stay Alive
Your inventory’s gotta balance fighting and escaping. Here’s the play:
- 4-6 Prayer Potions: Keep Piety running for max damage.
- 2 Stamina Potions: Run energy for dodging and dipping from PKers.
- 1-2 Super Combat Potions: Pumps Attack, Strength, and Defence.
- 10-15 Blighted Anglerfish: Big heals, Wildy-only, cheap.
- 1 Annakarl Teleport Tablet: Zaps you to level 30 Wildy.
- 1 Ring of Duelling: One-click escape for emergencies.
- Fill with Blighted Super Restores: Restores prayer and stats, dirt cheap in Wildy.
Sneaky Tip: Blighted items like anglerfish or super restores save you GP over regular supplies. Stock up!
Strategy: Clap Vet’ion Like a Boss
Time to kill this dude. You can safespot or flinch to avoid damage, or tank if you’re feeling spicy. Here’s the noob-friendly safespot method:
- Roll Up: Pay the 50K fee, pop Piety, and sip a Super Combat Potion.
- Lure Him: Smack Vet’ion and run to a single-tile obstruction like the dead tree by the agility shortcut to Lava Dragon Isle. That’s your safespot.
- Flinch Game: Hit Vet’ion, then duck behind the obstruction. Wait for his health bar to vanish before hitting again. Keeps you untouchable.
- Dodge Like a Pro: Spot lightning circles and step two tiles away. Shield bash shadow? Run!
- Hellhound Handoff: At 50% health, two Skeleton Hellhounds spawn. Flip on Protect from Melee, smack ‘em down (only 30 HP), and keep dodging Vet’ion.
- Phase Flip: Normal Form hits 0 HP, stand under him to dodge the lightning blast. He goes Enraged Form, full health, faster attacks.
- Rinse and Repeat: Flinch, dodge, and kill the Greater Skeleton Hellhounds at 50% health in Enraged Form. Same strat melee prayer, quick kills.
- PKer Escape: PKers crash? Run to the exit (lure Vet’ion near it for speed). You’ll hit the Escape Caves with grizzly bears and poison spiders. Pack an antipoison. Northeast exit is safer, southern exit is faster for a level 30 tele.
Quick Q: Can you logout mid-fight? Yea, if you ain’t taken damage in 10 seconds, hop worlds or logout to dodge PKers. Flinching tough? Nah, just time your hits.
PKer Defense: Stay One Step Ahead
Wildy’s a PKer playground, so here’s how to not get clapped:
- Scout Alt: Park a second account outside the lair to spot PKers. Makes ‘em think it’s empty.
- Logout Hover: While smacking Vet’ion, keep your cursor on the logout button. PKer pops up? Dip if you’re clear of damage.
- Escape Caves: Teleblocked? Hit the exit, navigate the caves. Northeast for safety, south for a quick tele at level 30.
- Low Risk Vibes: Stick to budget gear. Protect your Salve Amulet (e) and Dragon Defender at all costs.
- World Hop: PKers keep coming? Swap to low-pop worlds (400s or 500s usually chill).
Loot: Where the Money’s At
Vet’ion’s drops are straight fire. Here’s the good stuff and drop rates (2025 numbers):
| Item | Drop Rate | Value (GE) |

Hot Tip: Slap on a Ring of Wealth (i) to double elite clue scroll odds (1/100 to 1/50). Clues can bankroll you big time!
Noob Tips to Shine
New to Vet’ion or bossing? Gotchu with some extra sauce:
- Practice Dodging: Spend a few kills just vibing with his lightning and shield bash patterns. Less damage, less food used.
- Try Calvar’ion: Vet’ion too spicy? Hit Calvar’ion in level 21 Wildy (needs Medium Wilderness Diary). Easier, singles-plus, and still pays (~46K per kill).
- Squad Up: Vet’ion’s drops scale with damage in groups (up to 10 players). Ironmen need 7% damage for 25% loot or less for 5%.
- GE Check: Before you sell, peek at Grand Exchange prices. Noted stuff like gold ore or magic logs can swing.
- Keep It Cool: PKers can spook you, but with a scout and fast fingers, you’ll slip away.
Wrap-Up
Slaying Vet’ion in 2025 is a straight-up GP printer for OSRS beginners. With a budget setup, the safespot trick, and some PKer smarts, you’ll be swimming in gold while dodging lightning like a pro. Why sit on this? Grab your Salve Amulet, load up on Blighted Anglerfish, and hit Vet’ion’s Rest. Got a slick Vet’ion strat? Drop it below I wanna know!
