Requirements Zygomite Slayer Task/Inventory Setup

  • 57 Slayer
  • High magic defense
  • Slayer ring
  • Dramen staff
  • Fairy Ring
  • Combat boosting potion
  • Food
  • A black mask or slayer helmet 
  • Melee weapon 
  • Fungicide

You will need a dramen staff as your key to Zanaris and a slayer ring for the slayer master. A fairy ring is also required to teleport to a house and get to the location. You also need fungicide spray to kill the Zygomites. To do the task seamlessly, you might want to include a combat-boosting potion along with food in your inventory. 

Before killing Zygomites, you need 57 Slayer. You should also note having a high defense or magic level to get the task done easily since Zygomites use magic-based attacks. Furthermore, they can either use a magic-based melee or magic-based range attack depending on the type of Zygomite you’re facing. So, it’s important to secure your defense by wearing suitable armor to avoid failing the task. 

However, don’t worry because Zygomites are not that strong, with enough defense, you’ll be able to do the task quickly. Although, you still have to be vigilant when attacking as their max hit can range up to 7 to 10. It will depend on the version of Zygomites you’re facing and the type of attack they use.
