The Theatre of Blood conjures some challenging battles for you to face in Old School RuneScape. If you have been looking how to beat Verzik Vitur in particular, then the following Verzik OSRS guide will teach you what you need to know.

In this Old School RuneScape guide, we will be discussing:

• About Verzik Vitur
• Phase 1
• Phase 2
• Phase 3
• Rewards

Before we delve into strategies, let’s first take a look at what we know about the boss herself. Verzik Vitur hails from Vampyrium where she was the head of the Vitur family. She made her way to Gielinor with a number of other vampires in the Second Age via Zaros. Prior to leaving, she had managed to domesticate several nylocas to take to Gielinor. She also helped Lord Drakan take over Moryrania in the Third Age. This saw her being rewarded with Queen Efaritay’s castle, which would become Ver Sinhaza down the line.

Verzik is very demanding, wanting to be entertained by her vampyre army through blood sports. This wouldn’t be enough to sustain her however, leading to the creation of the Theatre of Blood. Here, we would see ferocious creatures doing battle with those who dare to oppose them. The nylocas would also be bred, which would see three new breeds coming to life. Verzik would be bitten by one of these nylocas, which gave her new abilities, albeit leaving her obese and susceptible to non-silver weapons.

So we have a little bit of background on who the boss is. But now we need to find out just how we can take her down. 

In the very first phase, Verzik won’t initially be hostile. You will see her sat on her throne, and once you start talking to her she will start to fight.

To start off with, Verzik’s shield will be up. You will be able to tell by the bar that you find in the top left of your screen. Using the dawn bringer here can be useful when her shield is up. Make sure that you do drop behind a pillar as well, so you can regenerate as required and continue the process.
