Contents

Stats and numbers

  • The thrall upgrade is a tradable consumable Doom of Mokhaiotl drop stored in the ammo slot that augments summoned thralls; when they despawn their spirit travels in a straight line back towards you, damaging enemies in its path.1

Tips

  • There are about ten bosses requiring a specific thrall, for example melee at Tekton, mage at Vasa and skeletal at Olm's head.2

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey likes that the thrall upgrade is a consumable, saying it is like Sunfire splinters and gives the content a lasting money sink and profit source, and hopes Reddit does not push for a permanent version.3
  • Gnomonkey dislikes that the thrall upgrade goes in the ammo slot, saying it is clunky with the quiver and weapons like the Twisted bow, and suggests charging the Book of the Dead or using a rune pouch instead.4
  • Gnomonkey notes a Reddit concern that Master and Grandmaster Combat Achievements players with extended-duration thralls would be penalised, and mentions a Jagex developer suggested the effect could trigger at fixed intervals instead, which he would prefer.5
  • Gnomonkey argues the thrall upgrade effect breaks down in practice: it cannot work if there is no line from the thrall through the boss to you (such as Ulm, Warden phase 3 or Duke), thralls spawn on a random tile, and for many bosses it would either always or never work.6
  • Gnomonkey compares the thrall upgrade to the old Gambit prayer, saying a damage bonus for doing something right does not suit bosses with so many different defences and contexts.7
  • Gnomonkey suggests a simpler alternative of upgrading thrall DPS by removing their zero hits, so they hit one to three and never splash, which would help Ulm.8
  • Gnomonkey loves the concept of the thrall upgrade but thinks the effect needs work, and asks the community for ideas.9
