If going with a team, or fighting without the safespot, it's highly recommended for the player to take high-healing food, such as curry or pies, that don't leave any empty inventory spaces. One of its attacks will unequip items that players are wielding, forcing them to take time to re-equip their armour and weapons before continuing the battle. As there's a strong chance to encounter player killers, it would be in the player's best interest to stick to low-cost anti-magic gear like dragonhide armour with a good helm.
A good item to bring to fill your inventory with junk to be able to use regular food normally is sacks of potatoes or cabbage. Whenever you eat a food, take out one of those and put them back at the end of the trip.
Solo[]
The safest method for soloing it would be taking advantage of the hit-and-hide tactic (also referred to as flinching or hit-and-run) with the usage of nearby trees. This can be done by attracting the Chaos Elemental's attention, and then immediately running behind a tree so it can't attack you. Wait for its Hitpoint bar to disappear, hit it once, and run back behind the tree. Repeat until the elemental is dead. This method can be done with any Melee weapon. A full set of Verac's equipment is recommended for fast kills, but you WILL risk the Verac's flail if you get smited by a PK team.
If not using the hit-and-hide tactic, using a Karil's leathertop, Verac's helm and plateskirt with a Crystal shield or Dragonfire shield and a Rune crossbow or Armadyl crossbow with Ruby bolts (e) makes this boss very easy to kill, even at sub-100 Combat levels, but beware of the risk. As there's a strong chance to encounter player killers, it would be better to stick to lower-cost gear to alleviate the risk.
Team[]
Players fighting with Melee should take armour with high Ranged and Melee Defence, such as Dragon or Barrows equipment, and use Protect from Magic. As there's a strong chance to encounter player killers, it would be better to stick to lower-cost gear to alleviate the risk.
Suggested skills[]
Equipment[]
Activate Protect from Magic, and use Protect Item if high risk, or just use the safespot. Regardless, it's best to employ Protect Item for 4-iteming. Drink a dose of prayer potion if Prayer falls below 10 points, and eat when necessary, but try not to let Hitpoints drop under 60. After killing the Chaos Elemental, pick up the loot and bank if needed, and don't linger in the same world for too long as there's a high chance to encounter player killers.
