Hespori Boss Guide
This guide will talk about how you can kill Hespori, a farming boss. Hespori is one of the bosses that are easy to kill in Old School Runescape and can serve as a good introduction to bosses.
You also learn how to approach bosses and train at the farming skill at the same time.
Level Requirements
For the level requirements, you need to have at least level 65 in farming.
We recommend at least be in 70 level in your melee stats, 39 level prayer for protect from magic, and level 70 prayer for piety.
If you die in the encounter with the Hespori boss, Arno, an NPC can reclaim the gear that you lost in the Hespori cave for only 25,000.
Hespori Location
The Hespori cave can be found in the farming guild.
Planting Seed(Before Fighting Hespori)
It takes about 22 to 32 hours for the Hespori to grow after you plant one of the seeds. You can get the seed from harvesting fully grown trees or bushes or from the last harvest from herbs, hops, allotments, flowers, cacti, or seaweed.
Inventory
For the inventory that you would want to bring to the Hespori cave, you want to bring
- 16 sharks,
- An antidote++
- One or two 2 prayer potions
- A shovel
- Farming outfit
- Seed dibber
- Super Combat Potion
- Hespori seed
- One-click teleport
- A slash spec weapon. You may use the dragon dagger, but you may also use the saradomin godsword if you can afford it.
Gear Choices
For the gear that you would want to bring, you would want to choose melee gear as the Hespori is weak to slash damage compared to other attacks. For the gear, you would want to have the best items that are also affordable when it comes to slash attack bonus as well as melee strength.
For your chest piece and legs, you may play with your set up a little bit more. If you have high combat stats, you may pick up the highest strength bonus that fits your budget. But if it is lower, use gear for range attacks, or gear that tanks magic hits.
Fight Mechanics
For fight mechanics, there are two mechanics that you have to be aware of.
Immediately when the fight starts, there are four plants that you will find on the room’s sides, making a square. They will open up. If they are alive, the Hespori will be immune to any damage, so kill them.
When you kill these plants, you only need to hit them once. With this, run around the room to hit the plants to kill them then proceed to kill the boss. This will happen twice more. It will happen again when the Hespori is at the health of 66% health and once more, at 33%.
There is also the entanglement of the Hespori in which if you are hit, you would not be able to move or attack. If you do not escape this attack, you may take 40 damage or even more.
To be able to escape from the entanglement, you should spam click your screen anywhere. Then you will be freed. You should also remember to pray and drink your antidote.
Once Hespori is dead, equip your farmer gear and harvest it for some sweet experience and loot.
Loot
For your loot, you will get 12,600 or more farming XP. The loot that you can get is mostly seed items except for the bottomless compost bucket and a chance to get the farming skilling pet.
You also get the white lily seeds and anima seeds which you can only obtain in this area in OSRS.
Conclusion
Overall, if you have not done bossing before, to kill the Hespori boss is a great way to start. You may also do it every other day to earn profit and also some farming XP.
