Boss Order Guide
Recommended boss progression for OSRS Ironman accounts, updated for 2026. Includes Moons of Peril, Royal Titans, Sailing content, and all major bosses.
Early Game
Pre-Bowfa progression. Barrows, Moons of Peril, Royal Titans, and Fight Caves.
Barrows
Excellent early source of runes and magic armour. Twinflame Staff makes this very efficient. Do 50-100 chests for rune supply and Ahrim's pieces.
Dagannoth Rex
Camp Rex only (safespot with magic). Imbue the Berserker Ring at Soul Wars or NMZ for +8 strength. Can be done during a Dagannoth Slayer task.
Blue Moon
2025+Priority from Moons of Peril. Blue Moon magic armour provides +30 magic attack (body) needed for Royal Titans. Farm full set before moving on.
Blood Moon
2025+Blood Moon melee set has Bloodrager set effect with Dual Macuahuitl. Strong for Slayer. Can return with Bowfa after CG to finish the set faster.
Royal Titans
2025+MilestoneDo BEFORE Corrupted Gauntlet. Deadeye (+18% ranged) and Mystic Vigour (+18% magic) are permanent prayer upgrades that help at CG. Crown drops (1/75 each) combine into Twinflame Staff. Wear Blue Moon armour for magic phases. Can be done on a Fire Giant Slayer task.
TzTok-Jad (Fight Caves)
MilestoneMajor ironman milestone. Practice prayer flicking on Jad. With Deadeye prayer and decent ranged gear this is very achievable.
Mid Game
Corrupted Gauntlet through ToA. Post-Bowfa bosses, GWD, and Slayer bosses.

Corrupted Gauntlet
MilestoneTHE defining mid-game grind. Bowfa + Crystal armour is the strongest ranged setup until Masori. Deadeye prayer from Royal Titans helps significantly here. Expect 100-400+ KC for seeds.
Zulrah
Farm for blowpipe and magic fang. Bowfa makes Zulrah very consistent. Blowpipe is still great for Slayer and specific bosses. Scales + darts needed for charges.
Vorkath
Guaranteed head at 50 KC. Excellent consistent money maker. Bowfa or Fang both work well. One of the best GP/hr bosses for ironmen.
Demonic Gorillas
Need 4 zenyte shards total for all 4 zenyte jewelry pieces. Requires 93/98 Crafting to make. Bowfa + melee switch works well. Expect 300-600 KC per shard.
Phantom Muspah
2025+Bowfa is very effective here. Ancient Sceptre is useful for Ancient Magicks content. Good rune and resource drops.
Kraken
SlayerEasy AFK Slayer boss. Get the tentacle for Abyssal Tentacle upgrade. Trident drops here if you don't have one from cave krakens.
General Graardor (Bandos)
BCP + Tassets are core melee armour. Fang or Bowfa both work. Can solo with good stats. BGS spec is useful for bossing until DWH.

Kree'arra (Armadyl)
Armadyl pieces are needed to fortify Masori armour from ToA. Bowfa with Crystal armour makes this very doable solo. Priority after getting Masori unfortified pieces.
Tombs of Amascut
2025+MilestoneMost ironman-friendly raid with scalable difficulty. Start at entry mode, push to 150+ for uniques. Fang and Lightbearer are the priority drops. Soloable once experienced.
Late Game
DT2 bosses, raids, high Slayer bosses, Yama, and Doom of Mokhaiotl.
Vardorvis
2025+Easiest DT2 boss. Do this first for Ultor Ring (BIS melee ring, +12 str) and Soulreaper Axe (highest str weapon). Fang is very effective here.
The Leviathan
2025+Venator Ring is BIS ranged ring (+10 ranged accuracy). Lower priority than Vardorvis unless you need the ranged ring.
The Whisperer
2025+Hardest DT2 boss. Magus Ring is BIS magic ring (+8 magic attack, +2% magic damage). Tumeken's Shadow is ideal here.
Duke Sucellus
2025+Bellator Ring is the melee accuracy ring. Lower priority than Ultor Ring for most content. Farm chromium ingots from any DT2 boss for ring creation.
Cerberus
SlayerThree crystals for BIS boots in each style. Primordial is the priority. Must be on a Hellhound or Cerberus task. Can be a very long grind for all 3.
Alchemical Hydra
SlayerDragon Hunter Lance is BIS against dragons. Ferocious Gloves are BIS melee gloves. Consistent GP and alchs. Very rewarding Slayer boss.
Thermonuclear Smoke Devil
SlayerOccult Necklace (+10% magic damage) is BIS magic necklace. Very easy boss. Usually done passively on Smoke Devil tasks.
Tormented Demons
2025+Dragon Claws spec is one of the best in the game. Purging Staff is a strong magic weapon. Requires gear switches similar to Royal Titans. Post-WGS content.
Nex
Torva is BIS melee armour. Best done in masses (large groups). Zaryte Crossbow enhances enchanted bolt procs. Zaryte Vambraces are BIS ranged gloves.
Chambers of Xeric
MilestoneRigour and Augury prayers are massive upgrades (replace Deadeye/Mystic Vigour). Twisted Bow is the most powerful ranged weapon. Learn in trios, scale down to duos/solos.
Theatre of Blood
Scythe hits 3 times on large monsters - BIS for many bosses. Rapier is BIS melee stab. Sanguinesti heals on hit. Expensive to learn but very rewarding.

Corporeal Beast
Arcane Sigil is needed to fortify Elidinis' Ward from ToA. Solo method involves speccing down stats then killing. Very long grind (1/585 for sigils). Only do when you have the Ward drop.
Fortis Colosseum
2025+Extremely challenging wave-based combat. Sol Heredit is the final boss. Requires near-endgame gear and skill. Dizana's Quiver is BIS ranged ammo slot.
Yama
2025+2025 boss. Oathplate is slash-focused endgame melee armour. Surge potions (25% spec energy per dose) are essential for high-level PvM. Duo recommended. Demonic Tallow drops are common.
Doom of Mokhaiotl
2025+Endgame delve content. Eye of Ayak is the fastest powered staff (3-tick speed, 83 Magic). Avernic Treads are multi-style endgame boots. Scale delve levels for better drop rates (1/2000 → 1/540).
Endgame
The Inferno. The ultimate PvM achievement.
TzKal-Zuk (Inferno)
MilestoneThe hardest PvM challenge in OSRS. BIS melee cape. Requires mastery of prayer flicking, wave management, and the Zuk fight. Tbow or Bowfa + ACB setup.
Notes on boss order
- This order is a recommendation, not a strict requirement. Adjust based on your account and goals.
- Slayer bosses (purple) are done passively during Slayer tasks when you reach the required level.
- DT2 bosses can be done in any order, but Vardorvis first is recommended for the Ultor Ring and Soulreaper Axe.
- Raids (CoX, ToB, ToA) order depends on your team and what drops you need most.
- Rigour and Augury from CoX replace Deadeye and Mystic Vigour from Royal Titans.
