I am convinced that Abyssal Sire is the worst boss in the game. How has this not been updated yet? /u/SoggyGummyWorms Old School RuneScape!

I have max gear with 600 kc and pet with 2 bludgeon pieces that will most likely never be completed. I do blood barrage method and I am not stingy with supplies.

Before I say why, I will say that the looks and design of the boss itself are great, it’s a cool looking boss and the designer should be proud of that aspect. However, the mechanics are absolutely awful and just not worth doing for the drops you get.

The Abyssal Nexus is MASSIVE and it’s quite a run to it. Yes, I did the POH method for about 100 kills and noticed how much time I was actually wasting doing it so I stopped.

The 4 respiratory systems should be taken out. If they were even reduced to 2 it would be far less tedious. That on top of having to shadow barrage him to put him to sleep. This is not fun.

Then you have to wait for him to wake up and come out and do multiple animations throughout the fight while invulnerable which is just a waste of time and obnoxious. Just make him walk out of his sleeping nest soon as you approach him and start the fight.

Then you have to focus on dodging the poison pool and not go near the tentacles, and watch your hp from minions so you can barrage them to get your hp back up. Then it becomes a “kill him before he kills me” situation.

I used to think that Kraken and Grotesque Guardians were the worst boss but after revisiting them and noticing the updates and QoL they got, I actually enjoy them far more compared to Sire. The fishing explosives on kraken is awesome and the lightning phases on GG’s being reduced down to one time and being faster is amazing. Also item drops lasting 3 hours on the floor is great, this means I dont have to pick them up immediately and can keep ringing the bell and fight them until the floor is covered in loot.

Is there actually another boss in the game that’s worse than Abyssal Sire? I honestly can’t think of any apart from maybe KQ.
