Ankou is an other topic that Gnomonkey covers in 1 video on 2020-04-16. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Requirements

  • Ankou have no requirements to fight and Gnomonkey calls them incredibly easy.1

Methods

  • To reach Ankou, teleport to Xeric's Heart, enter the Catacombs, run south of the altar and climb through a hole to get to them.2

Stats and numbers

  • A task of 53 Ankou took Gnomonkey roughly seven minutes, making it one of Duradel's shortest tasks.1
  • Ankou have an average weight of five from Duradel, so they come up occasionally.1
  • Gnomonkey's Ankou task of about seven minutes gave only 30k in loot and 3k Slayer XP.3

Tips

  • For Ankou Gnomonkey brings standard melee gear, and says the gear does not matter much so pieces can be downgraded.1
  • The Salve amulet works on Ankou but does not stack with the Slayer helmet, and Gnomonkey says the Slayer helmet's bonus is more beneficial.4
  • Ankou do not drop bones, so Gnomonkey says a bone crusher is not needed, and they have no alchable drops so the rune pouch can be skipped.4
  • With decent stats and armour you can tank multiple Ankou at once without needing food, so Gnomonkey uses auto-retaliate and piety.2
  • Ankou drop items worth picking up, such as arrows and runes, but the loot is not great overall.3

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says Ankou have horrible drops and terrible XP rates, but like Zygomites and Dark Beasts the task is worth doing just because it is so fast.1
