I'll get pictures later on when I'm in the mood.
Note: When solo'ing, ALWAYS PICK A NON-LOOTSHARE WORLD SO YOU WILL ENSURE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THERE.
The gear to bring- better choices are listed towards the left.
- Bandos boss -
Bandos can hit 60+ with melee and in the mid 40s with range, but is the easiest of all the bosses.
Melee Gear (80+ Attack 90+ Strength Recommended)
Option 1:
Verac's Helm/Neztroit Helm/Torag helm/Berzerker
Bandos plate/Torag Plate/Torso/Zamorak or Sara Platebody
Bandos Tassets/Verac Skirt/Torag Platelegs/Zamorak or Sara Platelegs
Amulet of fury/Zamorak Stole/Saradomian Stole/Glory
Bandos Boots/Dragon Boots
Armadyl Godsword/Bandos Godsword/Whip+Dfs or Rune def
Barrow Gloves/Best Gloves you can use
Berzerker Ring/Ring Of Wealth/Ring of recoil
Fire or Trimmed skillcape
Option 2:
Full Veracs
Amulet of Fury/Zamorak or Saradomian Stole
Dragon Boots/Bandos Boots
Barrow Gloves/ Zamorak or Saradomian Bracers
Berzerker Ring/Ring of wealth/Ring of recoil
Fire or trimmed skillcape
Ranger Gear (Either 95+ Range and 70+ Def -or- 85+ Range and 85+ Def)

Zamorak/Saradomian D'hide body/Armadyl plate
Verac Skirt/Torag platelegs

Rune c'bow + 100 Diamond bolt(e)/50 Dragon bolt (e)
Zamorak/Saradomian/Regular d'hide vamb
Archer ring/Wealth/Recoil
Accumulator
Now, you MUST have at least one Zamorak item to avoid being hit by the Zamorak
MOnsters. Sara item will help right when you go down to the dungeon for the
first few seconds. Bandos boots will prevent you from being attacked by
anything inside the Bandos door you hammer down.
Inventory:
Hammer
Trollhim+Varrock Tele (3 laws 5 smokes- smoke runes make up for air AND fire)
2 Prayer Potion (4)
Super set (Range pot and extra food if ranging)
Rest Tuna potatoes/Sea Turtle/Shark
Alright, so get your killcount at the goblins. If some noob is hogging that spot
go for the Hobgoblins. Once you have your killcount pot up,bang the big door of
Bandos to the west, run into the main room and melee prayer immeadiately!
Melee Pray > Piety (Eagle eye if ranging) > Rapid Heal > Protect Item
Whoop the Bandos boss, eating above 50hp at all times. Once General is down
kill the mage, and then the ranger, and finally the melee sargent.
Tele out to Varrock once you're out of food.
Also watch out for bandos's range attack, it can hit in the mid 40s. It crotches down
and shoots white stuff all over you when it ranges.
- Zamorak, Kril-Tus%*(#&*$(#* Boss. -
Can randomly hit through prayer up to 52. Slightly harder than Bandos.
Melee Gear
Neztriot Helm/Verac helm/Torag Helm/Berzerker
Bandos Plate/Karil Top/Zamorak D'hide body
Bandos Tassets/Karil Skirt/Zamorak Chaps
Amulet of fury/Zamorak stole
Dragon Boots/Bandos Boots

Fire or trimmed skillcape
Ranger Gear
Verac Helm/Torag Helm/Zamorak Coif

Amulet of fury/Glory/Zamorak stole
Bandos Boots/Ranger boots/Dragon boots
Barrow gloves/Zamorak bracers
Archer ring/Wealth/Recoil
Rune c'bow + 120 Diamond bolt (e) -or- 70 Dragon bolt (e)
MUST HAVE A ZAMORAK ITEM REGARDLESS.
Inventory:
Super Antipoison
2 Super Restore (They restore more pray points than Prayer potion)
Super Set (Range pot and extra food if ranging)
10 Smoke and law runes
1 - 3 Sara brew
Rest Tuna potato
Now when you enter the dungeon WASTE your prayer BEFORE you go across the bridge.
It's going to be drained to 0 anyhow when you swim across so might as well
use it in a meaningful way (such as Piety when getting killcount over here).
Once your prayer is used up swim across and kill the imps (fast kc).
When you have 40kc, pot up (including super antipoison and prayer).
Go in and melee prayer > Piety (Eagle eye if range) > Rapid heal > Proc Item
Eat above 60Hp, even 65 - 70 to be 100% safe. Don't piss your pants if he
hits a 52 on you, he frequently hits through prayer.
Tele when you're out.
- Armadyl, aka big turkey with the 110m hilt to jerk off to -
A LOT harder than the other two and your only option is range.
If you don't have 90+ Range or 85+ Range with 80+ Def, don't bother.
Gear:
Verac Helm
Armadyl Chestplate/Karil top/Zamorak D'hide body
Amulet of fury/Armadyl Pendant (if you don't have other arma item)
Armadyl Plateskirt/Verac plateskirt
DragonFire Shelid/Obby Shelid/Granite Shelid/Holy Sara book
Bandos Boots/Ranger Boots/Dragon Boots
Archer ring/Wealth/recoil
Accumulator
Rune c'bow with 50 Dragon bolt (e) or 70 Diamond (e).
Inventory:
Mithril Grapple (To get there, duh)
10 Law and smoke/steam rune
Ranging Potion
8 Super Restore (Do NOT use prayer potions)
Rest Saradomian Brew (You are NOT going to make it with sharks)
Optional: 100 emerald (e) or addy bolts to get kill count, if you don't feel
like crying about wasting better bolts.
Uh, now go ACROSS the grapple area into the Armadyl area.
Get started on your killcount, range prayer if you don't feel like getting hit.
Note: if you have 68 slayer kill the spirtual warriors, they will never hit.
Now when you have kc, go in and
range pray > Eagle eye > rapid heal > Steel Skin > Protect item
Brew up when you're at about 40hp.
Use a dose of super restore every 3 doses of brew. Remember this formula!
1 dose restore / 3 dose brew. REMEMBER THIS
If you're lucky enough and successfuly solo it, tele out after grabbing your
loot. If by some lucky miracle you get a 110m hilt and have an orgasm, good job.
- Saradomian, the one with the "lighting fast melee attacks" -
Hardest of all, and we all find it a pain to get 70 agility for it.
But yay, second most valueble hilt to go all *&%#)*#)$(*#)$*#
The hard part is how Sara will hit rapid 20s on you when meleeing, so some find
barraging helpful. MUST have sara and zammy item.
Melee / Mage Gear
Verac Helm
Ahrim Top
Ahrim Bottom
Amulet of fury/Zamorak or sara stole
Godsword / Whip AND either Dfs, zammy or sara book, or zammy or sara kite.
Climbing boots (When you're on ancients you can't Trolli tele)
Barrow Gloves
Seers Ring
Plain Melee Gear (If you have the balls)
Verac Helm
Bandos Chestplate/Torag plate
Bandos Tassets/V Skirt

Plain Ranger Gear
Everything above except
Dragon/Ranger boots instead
Zamorak or sara dhide/Armadyl pl8/Karil top
V skirt
Inventory:
2 Ropes (manitory)
Law and smoke runes (just law if not maging)
Super Set/Ranging potion
6 Super restore
Rest Brews
ONLY IF MAGING: 50 Ice barrages
Now take the long way if you're maging, making sure you are on ancient magics.
Otherwise, Trollie tele and get your kc started. Try to attack the sara
monsters that are already being hit by other things (wolves, hellhounds, gorak)
Killcount typically takes half an hour with good slayer level, otherwise up
to an entire hour.
Now once you're done kc, pot up and go in and
mage pray > Eagle eye/piety > Rapid heal > Proc Item > Steel Skin (if no piety)
If you're mage+range Barrage Zilyana and then range and repeat. EAT FAST
If you're mage+melee, just attack it with melee, watching hp CAREFULLY. She
hits VERY fast and can kill you in seconds. Barraging and running to eat
works sometimes. I'm not sure if this works, but Barrage > Melee, run back,
and hit again.
If you're plain melee just attack it head on, obviously.
If you're ranging, you can either
a) range it headon
b) run from corner to corner while ranging it. With practice you can master it
and pratically have Zilyana never hit you. Look in youtube vids for aspiration.
Tele when you're out.
Hope you enjoyed this guide, here are some additonal useful facts
Hilt rates
Bandos: About 1/300 Chance at hilt
Zamorak: About 1/200 Chance at hilt
Armadyl: About 1/500 chance at hilt (reason for high cost)
Saradomian: Unverified, but apprently at about 1/150? Not sure
Popularity
Bandos: Most popular, no luck finding an empty lootshare.
Armadyl: Very popular, Lootshare worlds are mostly always crowded
Sara: Not that popular due to the fact you need to go through pain of 70 agility
Zammy: Nearly deserted, finding a team is painful... We all hate zammy since
there are only really 3 attractive drops: hilt + spear + steam battlestaff.
Note: When solo'ing, ALWAYS PICK A NON-LOOTSHARE WORLD SO YOU WILL ENSURE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THERE.
