How hard is Zak?
This must seem like a very nooby question but can any of you tell me how difficult Zakum is?
I can't really understand through reading numbers or watching pros run Zak in under 10 minutes, so i want some opinions from basilmembers.
I recently finished my zak prequest on my phantom and I think I will be going Zakking for the first time ever! So if anyone would like to give some tips and pointers or some general information it would be nice!
Thanks.
EDIT: ty everyone who gave advices here! My phantom's current range is 18.1k~22.3k self-buffed, I think I forgot Combo atk though...

id just love it if Solomon saw that on a phone~
@lastrival1 not anymore. You can Czak without ever killing Zakum first.
You can probably solo with that range in 20-30 mins.
@BluCalhoun: Cool, thanks.
How does 100 all cures sound? Is that enough?
If you would like a helmet or books, add me in game! I can solo it fairly quickly for you free of charge
not. that's how hard
[quote=Bosnie1996]I have a 41k range(same job) without the Combo attack count as range and it takes me 12/13-15min. I think ur lying ![/quote]
Are you using rapid fire? Tempest on the arms? PDR and bossing factors in as well.
[quote=MarkSomething]Not quite. I have a range of just under 20k and he takes me just under 20 minutes. Just take lots of potion (All Cures mostly).[/quote]

@MarkSomething: Exactly, you're a Phantom
It takes me around 14 minutes to solo with 44k range on my Aran.
"Rock Solid" - Malphite
OT: Nowadays, he's not that hard to kill. With your range and Stolen skills, you can manage to kill it.
the way to zakum is harder then the boss.
I cant kill it under 1 minute, he has too much hp
[quote=envenomed]1. Bring allcures with you.
2. Enough potions.
3. Ok range (people standarized 15-20k are the range to be able to solo zak, if you don't have this range, go with friends).
4. Don't touch the body.
5. Kill the 2 middle left side arms.
That's pretty much it o.o[/quote]
This is pretty much the most accurate response you can get. If you have 15k+ range you can solo within the limit, as long as you have enough all cures to keep you from getting blinded and skill locked. Pots are obviously important, I have generally used honsters or elixers, that way 1:1's get healed up immediately (pets with autopot for the lazy ) and you can continue spamming your attacks.

It varies for different classes.
bring all cures and steal chief dits meso guard and you will be aiiight. take a shad or two with ya for fast runs
I dont find it hard to kill an 8-armed rock.
Zak isn't that hard now. On your phantom, steal power guard to protect against 1/1, NOT hyperbody. A range of 26k on my phantom lets me solo zak in 13 minutes, so you should be able to solo it with a ~15k range fine. Make sure you have all cures and pots...
Basically: Steal power guard, not hb like what some of the other people are saying.
[quote=Swiggumz]Zakum is pretty easy. Can be solo'd within timer limit with not much funding at all. (i'd say 250-500m) ?
Edit: If you need help, add me In-Game. I'll do what I can.[/quote]
Uh, what?
I beat zakum with a 10k range on phantom, less then 10mil used. (For pots, but still funding.)
He's easy now.
1. Bring allcures with you.
2. Enough potions.
3. Ok range (people standarized 15-20k are the range to be able to solo zak, if you don't have this range, go with friends).
4. Don't touch the body.
5. Kill the 2 middle left side arms.
That's pretty much it o.o
It's a joke in these days
My first Zak run was actually a Czak run, so after that regular Zak seemed like a walk in the park
Honestly, if you've ever killed Papulatus, it's actually easier than that because Zakum doesn't dispel, just spams 1/1 and weap or magic cancel (you can go around that anyways by stealing Chain Lightning).
So basically the hardest part is the preq so congrats. Most people can kill him in a party of like 3-5 but lots of people can solo. Now the hardest part is staying alive because he knocks your Hp down to 1/1 and if you lag youre dead. Te faster someone can kill him the better chance of survival. Bring lots of full healing pots. He isn't that hard and it shouldn't be very hard to find a party
