OSRS Leviathan Money Making Guide 2025 – Easy Profits with Low Gear Setup

Hey fellow Scapers if you’re looking to make some serious GP in OSRS without dropping billions on gear then killing The Leviathan might just be your ticket. As an expert player who’s farmed this boss for hundreds of kills I can tell you it’s one of the easier DT2 bosses once you get the hang of it. Especially with a low gear setup you can still pull in decent profits. Wondering how much? Well stick around and I’ll break it down step by step.

First off let’s talk requirements. You need to complete Desert Treasure II – The Fallen Empire to access the repeatable version of The Leviathan. No slayer level required but if you get it as a task from Konar Nieve or Duradel that’s a bonus for extra loot. Recommended stats? Aim for 75+ Ranged 70+ Defence and 80+ Hitpoints. Anything lower and kills will be slower but still doable if you’re careful with prayers.

Location and Getting There

To reach The Leviathan head to The Scar. Talk to the Catalytic Guardian at the Temple of the Eye then go east from the Abyssal Rift to Wizard Persten’s camp. Use the rowboat to get to the island climb the handholds and you’re in the arena. Easy right? If you die your grave appears near the rowboat so reclaiming items is straightforward. Pro tip: Bring a Ring of Shadows for quick teleports back or use the Amulet of the Eye if you haven’t got the Scarred Tablet yet.

Low Gear Setup for Budget Players

Now the fun part the gear. You don’t need Twisted Bow or Zaryte Crossbow to farm this boss. I’ve done it with basic setups costing under 1M total. Focus on Ranged since melee doesn’t work here your attacks won’t reach. Here’s a budget setup that works wonders:

This setup costs around 200k-500k depending on prices in 2025. If you have access to better like Armadyl Crossbow or Dragon Crossbow upgrade the weapon first it boosts DPS a lot. For prayers use Eagle Eye since Rigour might be out of reach for low levels. Protect prayers are key switch based on orb colors.

Inventory Setup

Your inventory should balance food potions and runes for stunning. Here’s what I recommend for low gear runs:

• 4-6 Super Restore (4) to restore prayer and stats
• 2 Divine Ranging Potion (4) for that ranged boost
• 10-15 Sharks or better Anglerfish for healing
• Rune Pouch with runes for Shadow spells (Death Chaos Soul Air runes)
• Teleport to House tablet for quick escapes
• Rest filled with food or extra potions

If you’re on a budget swap Divine pots for regular Ranging potions. And don’t forget runes for Shadow Rush it’s cheap and stuns the boss effectively.

Boss Mechanics: What to Expect

The Leviathan fight is all about prayer switching and dodging. The boss shoots orbs: blue for Magic green for Ranged orange for Melee. Pray accordingly max hits are high like 50 for melee if you mess up. After volleys it roars dropping debris move one tile to avoid chip damage up to 7.

Volleys speed up over time from 3 ticks down to 1 tick making switches tough. That’s where stunning comes in cast a shadow spell to stun for 9 seconds cap damage at 10 but attack its back for big hits. It resets attack speed too. Special attacks alternate: Lightning Barrage (run in a circle to dodge) or Smoke Blast (use debris as cover).

At 20% health enrage phase kicks in. An Abyssal Pathfinder spawns stay in its 5×5 area for accuracy boost and full prayer protection. Otherwise attacks pierce prayers bad news. Debris keeps falling so finish quick.

For low gear focus on perfect prayer flicks and stuns to slow it down. Avoid unnecessary damage for 50% extra loot from standard table. Awakened mode? Skip it for now it’s harder and needs better gear.

Tips for Success with Low Gear

Wondering how to get your first kill? Practice prayer switching in Nightmare Zone first. Use tile markers for debris and bite spots RuneLite plugins help a ton.Key Tips:

• Stun often to control speed especially before specials.
• For lightning check chat for “preparing lightning” and run same direction as head swing.
• Eat up before enrage to tank chip damage.
• If supplies run low tele out no shame in banking.
• On task? Use Slayer Helm for bonus damage.

With low gear expect 10-15 kills per hour once comfortable. Slower than max setups but still profitable.

Profit Breakdown: Making GP in 2025

Now the money part. The Leviathan drops valuables like Awakener’s Orbs (around 5-10M each) Smoke Quartz and uniques for Soulreaper Axe or Virtus robes. Common drops include ores gems runes and food supplying your runs.

From wiki averages with high gear it’s 6M+ GP per hour at 24 kills. For low gear let’s adjust. Say 12 kills per hour supplies cost 20k per kill (pots food bolts).

This is conservative uniques can spike profits big time. Venator Vestige or Virtus piece? That’s 50M+ instant. In 2025 prices might fluctuate but drops hold value well. Plus perfect kills give 50% more commons like anglerfish and potions saving you GP.

Any updates in 2025? June poll replaced some drops but mechanics stay same. No big nerfs so this guide holds up.

There you have it a solid way to farm GP with minimal investment. Start slow learn the patterns and you’ll be raking in millions. Got questions? Drop them in comments. Happy Scaping!
