Normal Mode Kerapac
Kerapac, the Bound: Normal Mode
Introduction
Kerapac is a dragonkin fighting under the control of Jas. Kerapac can be fought in teamsizes of 1-3, in either normal or hard mode.
If you would like a breakdown of Kerapac's mechanics as well as good ways to deal with them you can check the mechanics summary found here: #kerapac-hm-basic.
It is important to note that Kerapac is affected by the Nodon Dragonkin slayer task. The slayer helmet 
bonus, genocidal 
bonus, and the 
Premier Artefact slayer boost (10% chance to stop slayer count decreasing) will work on Kerapac; however, Tuska's Wrath 
will not be boosted, Dragon Slayer 
does not work, and Dragon Bane equipment 
does not work.
Drops
Kerapac's drops include three components to create the tier 95 Staff of Armadyl 
, and a pet with a new skin unlocked at 1,000 Hard Mode kills. He always drops 3 piles of loot regardless of teamsize. In a solo, a player will receive all 3 drops; in a trio, each player receives a drop; in a duo, the highest DPS receives two drops and the other receives one drop. It is important to note that Staff of Armadyl pieces are exclusive to hardmode encounters.

Low Effort Ranged Normal Mode Kerapac Guide (~20kph)
Explanation
This method will reliably allow you to get consistent Kerapac (NM) kills without needing much input or effort. It is recommended to have a slayer task (with slayer helm on your anachronia slayer lodge stand) when using this method, but it is not mandatory.
⬥ Aura choice can vary, but will affect how afk kills can be. They are listed in order of effectiveness:
• 
Vampyrism Aura provides extra safety through its healing and allows more chances for poison damage. Due to the constant damage being taken while fighting Kerapac, this is by far the safest and most reliable aura choice to afk with.
• 
Dark Magic provides extra damage, but you must pay more attention to both your HP and your prayer points.
• 
Mahjarrat Aura provides extra damage, but does not give any extra poison procs. Still, it is a viable option as a secondary aura.
• 
Do not use Reckless for afking, as it will get you killed very easily.
⬥ This method requires you to teleport out after each fight to Wars' Retreat. There you should bank, heal to full or close to full, and channel the adrenaline crystals till 100% adrenaline before entering the fight again.
⬥ You should be using the soulsplit 
prayer for phases 1-3 and then switching to deflect magic 
for p4.
⬥ This method requires using an Eldritch Crossbow 
, due to hit chance constraints.
• If on a Nodon Dragonkin slayer task, a Wyvern Crossbow 
can be used instead.
Mandatory Requirements
⬥ This setup should reliably allow you to afk Kerapac. However, the following need to be done or else this method will be either unreliable or will outright not work. Cutting corners will result in failure:
• Wen Book 
is active
• Essence of Finality 
is equipped
• Soulsplit is active
• Anguish 
or Desolation 
is active
• Greater Ricochet 
and Salt the Wound 
are unlocked
• Caroming 4 
is on your weapon
• Elder Overload 
is active
• Poison 
is active
• Cinderbane Gloves 
are equipped
• Blood Reaver 
is summoned if using Vampyrism Aura
• Ripper Demon 
is summoned if using other auras
• Auto-retaliate is on

Preset Notes
⬥ 
Reaver's Ring - Extra critical chance helps speed up kills. If not owned, can be substituted for other strong rings such as Asylum Surgeon's 
or Ring of Death 
. If failing to skip flight mechanic, should be replace with upgraded pontifex ring 
.
⬥ 
Adrenaline Renewals - Used after the first death's swiftness at the beginning of the fight. May be substituted for enhanced replenishment potions 
.

Low Effort Magic Normal Mode Kerapac Guide (~22kph)
Explanation
This method will reliably allow you to get consistent Kerapac (NM) kills without needing much input or effort. Consistency and safety are attained through a heavy focus on maximising damage dealt while minimizing damage taken (granted, why wouldn't that be the focus anyways?). It is strongly recommended to have a slayer task (with slayer helm on your anachronia slayer lodge stand) when using this method.
⬥ Auras:
• 
For once, Maniacal is actually your best choice for your aura here. Usage of Animate Dead and Cryptbloom armour heavily mitigates the downsides that this aura usually presents, and the extra damage makes up for the more defensive setup.
• Dark Magic provides extra damage and poison procs, but the lack of raw damage may be detrimental for phases where Sunshine isn't active.
⬥ You should be using Soulsplit and Torment 
/ Affliction 
for the entire fight.
• If using Affliction , you must either use Powder of Penance 
or click an Ancient Elven Ritual Shard 
at the start of each kill.
⬥ This method requires using at least a Seismic Wand 
and Animate Dead 
with some tank armour 
, as raw damage is the focus and this setup is not as strong on healing when compared to the other styles' setups.
Mandatory Requirements
⬥ This setup should reliably allow you to afk Kerapac. However, the following need to be done or else this method will be either unreliable or will outright not work. Cutting corners will result in failure:
• Exsanguinate 
is set to autocast
• Pontifex Shadow Ring passive effect is unlocked
• Igneous Kal-Mej 
or Kal-Zuk 
is equipped
• Scripture of Wen is active
• Animate Dead is active
• Essence of Finality is equipped
• At least 2 pieces of Cryptbloom Armour are equipped
• Soulsplit is active
• Torment or Affliction is active
• Elder Overload is active
• Poison is active
• Cinderbane Gloves are equipped
• Ripper Demon is summoned and loaded with 150+ Death from Above scrolls 
, set to autofire
• Auto-retaliate is on
• Passive Ring of Vigor 
is unlocked
• Passive Upgraded Pontifex Shadow Ring is unlocked
• Nodon Dragonkin Task is active

Method/Setup
⬥ Upon entering the boss instance, Surge 
2x, then walk forward one tile. Make sure you have all buffs/prayers active, and queue Smoke Cloud 
. Once you begin auto-retaliating, throw a Vulnerability Bomb 
during your first Greater Concentrated Blast and afk from there. Once the kill ends, gather your loot and teleport to War's Retreat. Restore prayer and heal at the bank if needed, restore adrenaline to 91% or more, and repeat.
Example Video
⬥ This video showcases three separate kills and the banking/looting process. First kill has bad rng, second has great rng, and the third is around the average kill one may expect using this setup.

Low Effort Melee Normal Mode Kerapac Guide (~22kph)
Explanation
This method will reliably allow you to get consistent Kerapac (NM) kills without needing much input or effort. Consistency and safety are attained through a heavy focus on maximising the Blood Reaver familiar's potential, utilizing weapon poison, Abyssal Parasites, and many sources of healing. It is strongly recommended to have a slayer task (with slayer helm on your anachronia slayer lodge stand) when using this method.
⬥ Auras:
• Vampyrism provides extra safety through its healing and provides more poison damage via Blood Reaver passive ability. Due to the constant damage being taken while fighting Kerapac, this is by far the safest and most reliable aura choice to afk with.
• 
Do not use Berserker for afking, as it will get you killed very easily.
⬥ You should be using Soulsplit and Turmoil 
/ Malevolence 
for the entire fight.
• If using Malevolence , you must either use Powder of Penance or click an Ancient Elven Ritual Shard at the start of each kill.
⬥ This method requires using an Abyssal Scourge 
and Jaws of the Abyss 
, as the action bar requires the extra adrenaline.
Mandatory Requirements
⬥ This setup should reliably allow you to afk Kerapac. However, the following need to be done or else this method will be either unreliable or will outright not work. Cutting corners will result in failure:
• Pontifex Shadow Ring passive effect is unlocked
• Igneous Kal-Ket 
or Kal-Zuk is equipped
• Scrimshaw of Vampyrism 
is active
• Essence of Finality is equipped
• Soulsplit is active
