Inventory Setup & Tips
We recommend a few items in your inventory: a slayer ring for general usage, house teleport to leave, dragon dagger, herb sack ( not necessary), attack potion, strength potion, and some food. The monster here gives a good XP and pretty good drops like medium clue scroll and light mystic boots.
Cockatrice is not aggressive so you can use a melee weapon to hit or you can use a ranged weapon to hit it and hide behind a rock before continuing the attack.
