General Graardor is currently the fifth strongest monster in RuneScape coming after K'ril Tsutsaroth, TzTok-Jad, Zulrah and Corporeal Beast. He is the boss of the Bandos Stronghold in the God Wars Dungeon. To get access to his chamber, players must kill 40 of Bandos' followers. There are many methods of getting the kill count, but the easiest is to kill the very low levelled goblins that reside there.

Graardor possesses a magic level of 280, a defence level of 300, a ranged level of 350, and has a +100 bonus in ranged attack. In addition, he possesses the following defensive bonuses

• +90 stab
• +90 slash
• +90 crush
• +90 range
• +65 magic

Bodyguards

• Sergeant Strongstack (Melee)
• Sergeant Steelwill (Magic)
• Sergeant Grimspike (Ranged)

Team Strategy

General Graardor should never be underestimated. Not only does he have very high Defence, he can hit up to 60 with Melee and uses a Ranged attack that hits everyone in the room, which hits up to 35. A team of at least 3 people as well as a tank (i.e. someone with high Defence and good armour to take Graardor's blows) is highly recommended. All players should use the Protect from Ranged prayer, except for the player directly being attacked, who should use the Protect from Melee prayer. The player being directly attacked should watch their health very carefully, as they can still be hit by Graardor's Ranged attack. All players should be careful of Graardor's minions, as one uses Melee, one uses Ranged, and one uses Magic. There is an altar there, but it can only be used every 10 minutes, so it is advised to bring prayer potions or super restores just in case. Some say he is the easiest of the bosses in the God Wars Dungeon, but don't take him too lightly.

Solo Strategy

As previously stated, General Graardor should NEVER be underestimated as he has high Defence and can hit very high. If you wish to solo the General, please keep in mind you should have high or decent combat stats. You must bring good gear. It is possible to defeat the General with a weapon such as an Abyssal whip, but it is not recommended as the kill will take substantially longer.

It is recommended to wear the best defensive Ranged gear you have while using the Protect from Melee prayer, along with a strong and accurate weapon such as a godsword for attacking. Ranged is not advised as he has very high Defence against this style (Magic hits more often than Melee but sacrifices defensive stats).
