OSRS How to Get to Vorkath A Step-by-Step Guide

Gielinor adventurers! If you’re itching to take on one of Old School RuneScape’s (OSRS) toughest and most rewarding bosses, Vorkath, you’re in the right place. As an OSRS veteran who’s spent countless hours battling this undead dragon, I can tell you it’s a thrilling fight with some sweet loot to boot. But before you can slay Vorkath, you gotta know how to get to him. I remember my first trip to his icy lair—I was so lost, I ended up wandering Rellekka for hours! In this guide, I’ll walk you through every step to reach Vorkath in a chill, conversational way, sharing my personal tips and stories to make your journey smooth. Let’s dive in!

Vorkath is one of OSRS’s top bosses, known for dropping big-ticket items like the Draconic Visage and Skeletal Visage. He’s located on Ungael, a remote island north of Rellekka, and getting there can feel like a quest in itself. The fight’s tough, but the rewards are insane—I made my first 100M gold from Vorkath drops alone. Plus, it’s a fun challenge that keeps you on your toes.

Why bother with Vorkath?

• Huge Profits: Average loot is 100-150k per kill, with rare drops worth millions.

• Skill Training: Great for Ranged or Magic XP.

• Bragging Rights: Slaying Vorkath feels epic!

Ever dreamed of banking a Visage drop? Trust me, it’s a rush!

Requirements to Fight Vorkath

Before you set out for Ungael, you need to meet some requirements. I learned this the hard way when I showed up underprepared and got roasted (literally).

Quest Requirement

You must complete Dragon Slayer II to unlock Vorkath. This is a grandmaster quest, and it’s no joke. I grinded it at combat level 90, and it took me a full weekend. Key requirements for the quest include:

• 75 Magic, 70 Smithing, 68 Mining, 62 Crafting, 60 Agility, 60 Thieving, 50 Construction, 50 Hitpoints.

• A decent combat level (80+ recommended).

If you’re close to a skill level, use boosts like a Spicy Stew (+5) or Crafting Potion (+3). I used a Spicy Stew to hit 70 Smithing—saved me hours of grinding!

Gear and Stats

To fight Vorkath, you’ll need solid gear and stats. My first Vorkath kills used Ranged, and I recommend:

• 80+ Ranged and Defence.

• Armadyl or Void gear for Ranged, or Bandos for melee.

• Dragonfire Ward or Anti-Dragon Shield.

• Salve Amulet (e) for extra damage against undead.

I started with a Rune Crossbow and Diamond Bolts (e), which worked fine. Don’t worry if your gear’s not maxed—practice makes perfect.

Supplies Needed

Bring these for the trip and fight:

• Super Antifire Potion (or Extended Antifire).

• Anti-Venom+ for Vorkath’s venom attacks.

• Prayer Potions and Super Restores.

• High-healing food like sharks or manta rays.

• Teleport Tabs (Rellekka or House).

I forgot an Antifire once and got smoked in seconds—don’t make my mistake!

Step-by-Step Guide to Get to Vorkath

Now, let’s get to the meat of this guide—how to actually reach Vorkath’s lair. I’ll break it down into easy steps, based on my own trips to Ungael.

Step 1: Complete Dragon Slayer II

If you haven’t finished Dragon Slayer II, you can’t access Vorkath. The quest ends with you fighting Vorkath for the first time, unlocking his boss instance. I was sweating bullets during that fight, but the cutscene afterward made it feel so epic. Check the OSRS Wiki for a quest guide if you need help—it’s a long one!

Step 2: Travel to Rellekka

Vorkath’s island, Ungael, is north of Rellekka, so you need to get there first. Here are my favorite ways to reach Rellekka:

• Rellekka Teleport: Requires 45 Magic and the Fremennik Hard Diary. I use this all the time now—unlimited teleports are clutch.

• Fremennik Sea Boots 3: From the Fremennik Diary, teleports you to Rellekka.

• Enchanted Lyre: After The Fremennik Trials, charge it with raw fish to teleport. I used this early on—it’s cheap!

• House Teleport: If your Player-Owned House (POH) is in Rellekka, use a House Tab or spell (30 Magic). I moved my POH to Rellekka just for Vorkath runs.

If you’re low-level, walk from Camelot or use the Fremennik Province Lodestone (free after unlocking it). Ever walked to Rellekka as a noob? It’s a trek!

Step 3: Get to the Fremennik Docks

Once you’re in Rellekka, head to the docks in the northwest part of town. Look for Torfin Ardson, the NPC who sails to Ungael. He’s near the longboat with a blue sail. I used to get lost in Rellekka’s maze of houses, so here’s a tip: follow the path west from the market square until you hit the water.

Step 4: Sail to Ungael

Talk to Torfin Ardson and select “Travel to Ungael.” The trip is free, and it takes you straight to Vorkath’s island. The first time I sailed there, I was so hyped to face Vorkath again, but also nervous about dying. The boat ride’s quick, so you’ll be on Ungael in no time.

Step 5: Enter Vorkath’s Lair

When you arrive on Ungael, you’ll see a snowy island with a big cave entrance to the east. Run to the cave and select “Enter Instance” to fight Vorkath. It costs 50,000 gp per instance, but you can reclaim your loot for free if you die (within 15 minutes). I always bring 50k in my inventory to avoid banking trips. Pro tip: Use the Quick-Start option after your first kill to skip Torfin and go straight to the instance from Rellekka.

Alternative Routes to Vorkath

If you want faster or fancier ways to get to Vorkath, here are some methods I’ve tried as a high-level player.

Using a Player-Owned House

If your POH is in Rellekka, you can teleport to your house and run to the docks in seconds. To set this up:

1. Move your POH to Rellekka (costs 10k at the Estate Agent in Varrock).

2. Use a House Tab or Teleport to House spell (30 Magic).

I moved my POH after getting tired of lyre teleports—best decision ever! Do you have a POH in Rellekka? It’s so convenient.

Fremennik Slayer Dungeon Shortcut

For a sneaky route, use the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon to reach Ungael. You need 81 Agility (or 76 with a Summer Pie boost) to climb the icy rocks in the dungeon. From there, exit to Ungael’s surface. I tried this once, but it’s slower than sailing, so I stick to Torfin’s boat.

Teleport to Waterbirth Island

If you’ve got 72 Magic and the Lunar Spellbook, use the Waterbirth Teleport spell to get close to Rellekka. Then, run to the docks. I rarely use this, but it’s handy if you’re already on Lunars for Vorkath’s Magic setup.

Tips for a Smooth Journey

I’ve made tons of trips to Vorkath, and these tricks make getting there easier and faster.

Set Up Teleports

Unlock the Fremennik Hard Diary for unlimited Rellekka teleports. It’s a grind (70 Fishing, 60 Woodcutting, etc.), but I did it at level 80, and it saves so much time. Also, get the Fremennik Sea Boots or move your POH to Rellekka.

Bring Enough Gold

Always carry 50k gp for the instance fee. I forgot it once and had to teleport back to the GE—total waste of time!

Practice the Route

The first few trips might feel clunky, but you’ll get the hang of it. I used to fumble with my Enchanted Lyre, but now I zip to Vorkath in under a minute. Practice makes perfect!

Bank Efficiently

Use the Rellekka bank (near the market) to restock before sailing. I keep a preset with my Vorkath gear, potions, and 50k gp to make trips quick. Do you use bank presets? They’re a lifesaver!

My Vorkath Journey

My first trip to Vorkath was a disaster. I’d just finished Dragon Slayer II, and I was so cocky with my Rune Crossbow and Black D’hide. I forgot an Antifire Potion, got hit for 60, and died in seconds. But after watching some guides and practicing, I got my first kill—dropped a Dragon Platelegs worth 1M! I was hooked. Now, I’ve got over 1,000 Vorkath kills, and I still get a thrill every time I sail to Ungael. One time, I lagged during the boat ride and thought I’d crash—luckily, I made it!

What’s your craziest bossing story? I’m all ears!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

I’ve messed up plenty getting to Vorkath, so here’s how to avoid my blunders:

• Forgetting 50k gp: No instance fee, no fight. Always check your inventory!

• Wrong Teleports: I used a Camelot Teleport once and had to run forever. Use Rellekka-specific teleports.

• Skipping Antifire: Vorkath’s fire will wreck you. I learned this the hard way—bring Super Antifires!

What’s a bossing mistake you’ve made? We’ve all got one!
