Introduction
well hello my name is shortd00d,DxC or Drew i was browsing threw a few forums and realised there isnt a good guide on how to solo bandos since so much has changed. and please dont hate this is my first guide
so with further ado this is my guide, we all know bandos is one of the easiest godwars bosses to solo. but some people may ask what gear do i take what should my inventory look like. in this guide i will explain these all of it. well most of it. since im only 70 summoning ill be showing the method i use with war tort. it can changed with ease for higher BoB(beast of burden) by adding a another ppot and more food

3x Home teleport tab

in this set-up summon up your beast of burden(yak, War tort, or Spirit Terrorbird) and fill it with food
================================
How To Get There
Once you Teleport to trollheim drop 2 of your food
then use your house telleport or another form or to get back to a bank grab 2 more food
Then Teleport back up to Trollheim and Grab The other 2 Food you dropped earlier.
now to make your Way to the Godwars Dungeon.
Follow the Red line all the way till you Get to the green line, once you get to the green line you will see 4 or 5 ogre rangers so protect from range while you run past them) they can hit quite high, once your back in the red you can take your prayer off.
you will arrive at a massive boulder just lift it and sqeeze through.
now if you want you can put on the zamorak robe top in you inventory on before you enter the dungeon so at least 3 of the 4 gods will be unaggressive if wielded ags all 4 will be unagressive.
now for getting Kill Count there are 3 good places to get kc 4 if wielding ags.
the blue area is good if you have a bandos,zamorak, and sara item. < kill goblins and hobgoblins
red area is good if you have all 4 god items(zamorak,Armadyl,bandos, and Saradomin items) <kill goblins
green area <decent only good if you dont have a zamorak item) <i rarely use because i always have a zamorak item
Strategy
run back and forth between the top blue and red area for super fast kc killing nothing but goblins.
================================
Killing General Graardor and his minions
Once you have gotten you 40 Kc you want to use your Hammer on the big door.
now if your on an open world get to the front door and pot up in order
Saradomin brew(for extra starting hp and Def)
Super Restore (to fix all your stats)
Extreme str and att or super str and attack
then Turn on your prayers
for basic prayer turn on
piety.chivarly , protect item and protect from melle
if on curses
Or if you are on Ancient Curses;
~Deflect melee
~Protect Item
~Berserker (If not using overload)
~Leech Attack/Defence (both recomended)
or
~Turmoil
now once inside it gets a little tricky.
Graardor
now if your using Ags,or Bgs,claws use up all of your Special on General Graardor . if using sgs wait till your hp falls below 60 to 70 hp or your prayer is below 50. in hopes that it will heal you and restore some prayer points.
now make sure you keep your hp above 60. why cause Graardor can hit 35s with range and if his mage or range minion hit at the same time it can be an instant ko, = a loss of items.
now the only thing you need to Remeber is to make sure you reclick and attack Graardor after everytime you eat or pot up. as your auto retaliate is off.
now that general graardor is Dead you have 2 options.
Once Graardor is dead, pick up the drop, and either;
A)Stay and kill the 3 minions, starting with Steelwill (Magic), then Grimspike (Range) and lastly Strongstack (Melee).
Pray Protect (deflect) from Magic until Steelwill is history, then switch to Protect (deflect) from Ranged while you kill Grimspike and Melee afterward. I highly suggest leaving Protect (deflect) from melee on if you are staying for another kill.
If you have enough food for another kill, use the altar, then activate your boost and protect item prayers and get ready.
B) Teleport out to a safe spot, preferably your house (you don't lose any items on death there).
