Commander Zilyana
Combat level 596 · 255 hitpoints
The Saradomin boss and the hardest of the four to solo. She has a very fast magic attack that ignores prayer partially, plus a hard-hitting melee. Drops the Saradomin sword, Armadyl crossbow and Saradomin hilt.
Requirements
- 40 Killcount (Saradomin)
- 70 Agility for the shortcut
- ~85+ combat (she is the hardest GWD solo)
- Saradomin item to enter
Pointers
- She attacks every 2 TICKS with magic, the fastest boss attack in GWD. Damage adds up frighteningly fast.
- Protect from Melee and accept the magic chip, or Protect from Magic and tank the melee. Most solos pray melee.
- Kill Growler (magic) first. His damage is what actually kills solo players. Then Starlight, then Bree.
- Her defence is low but her damage output is high; this is a race, not a tank fight.
- Duo or trio is strongly recommended over solo unless you have high-end gear.
What the sim brings here
Every worn slot and every inventory row below is the combat simulation's own output, at the style it ranks fastest for each account tier. Each line carries the channel that chose it: sim means the model solved it, and inherited means the value came through from the hand-authored loadout the solver starts from. Riding through a generator does not make a value derived, so those are marked rather than presented as the model's answer. A line marked unattributed carries a channel the model's own vocabulary no longer declares, so no word is put on it at all rather than one being read off the channel's spelling. Where the model has not answered a row, its own refusal is printed instead; where it has answered a row it doubts, the answer is printed with the doubt attached rather than withheld.

Spellbook: Standard, claimed by High Level Alchemy (a purpose the boss page names). Grants High Level Alchemy. Cannot cast Vengeance. Vengeance is on Lunar and High Level Alchemy (utility) has claimed Standard. One book per trip.
Open question, not a ruling: Shane: whether runes the page tells the player to carry (alching, telegrab, a mechanic closer) outrank a thrall or Vengeance the damage model ranked on value, when the two live on different books. Default (a) utility wins, chosen by the session-53 coordinator, 2026-09-14, pending Shane
Trip: about 3.75 kills in 6 minutes, limited by food.

The model doubts this gear (tied with an identical item, so enumeration order decided): the neck slot holds an item the model cannot tell apart from an alternative the search could equally have taken, re-scored identical in this row's own bag. Enumeration order decided it, so the sim had NO REASON; that is not the same as the pick being wrong. SOLVED_GEAR_TIES names them.
Inventory: 8 of 9 rows chosen by the sim, 1 carrying no channel at all.

What each of those badges means
- derived:access (sim): ACCESS_KEYS: the item the encounter page says you must bring, with the sentence attached, and dropped where the account's diary removes the requirement.
- derived:ascent (sim): an accepted coordinate-ascent move: betterThan() preferred this candidate over the incumbent under the row objective and band. The weapon+ammo+shield pairing and the crystal set arrive here too, because both are offered to the same acceptance test.
- derived:composed (sim): balanceInventory() sized this row from the derived supply menu. The menu enumerates CONSUMABLES and narrows by style, tier and price; it is not the authored bag.
- derived:empty (sim): the finished loadout leaves this slot EMPTY, and that is an ANSWER rather than a gap: a two-handed weapon forfeits the shield and a weapon that stores its own ammunition frees the ammo slot. Recorded so a null slot is never read as unprovenanced.
- derived:pouch (sim): derivePouchInto(): the rune pouch and its loose overflow, from the spell the build actually casts and the pouch slot criterion. Not from a pouch a human typed.
- derived:spec (sim): a carried special-attack weapon PROPOSED by `specPlan` (specchoice.js), which prices every SPEC_ATTACKS weapon that deals damage or drains defence on top of the bag solved without one, and KEPT by `judgeSpecArms` only where the composed bag with it beats the bag without it under `compareScores`. The row's `kpt.specWeapon` carries both arms.
- derived:travel (sim): travelPlan(): the way IN, ranked out of the derived transport graph against this account's own unlocks, rather than copied from whatever a human typed. The way OUT is a separate channel (`ruled:escape`) because it is a typed choice, not a ranking.
- ruled:escape (ruled): escapeLeg(): the way OUT, taken from the typed per-tier table ESCAPE_PLAN and judged against the account, with nothing substituted and no fallback ladder. The ACCOUNT CHECK is a derivation; the CHOICE of item is not, so this is not a `derived:` channel. ESCAPE_PLAN carries no attributedTo field (PROVENANCE_BACKLOG: silent-and-unattributed), so this channel does not claim one either.
