Wave 9 is annoying as can be. Blazes, ghasts and 4 iron golems.

Try to kill the blazes first. Each blaze shoots 3 fire charges than can actually set you on fire.
However, if any ghasts just appear in front of you, shoot them. They're also very annoying.

What you want to do with the IGs is get all 4 of them and keep walking around the area with the fire. The igs will literally walk through that. Also, always keep at least 1 stack of arrows for the boss. If you have extra arrows, you can use them on the IGs.

Your final challenge is here. But he's not that hard. Just keep running around the outer-most ring and keep shooting him.

Sometimes he changes stats.

He might shoot wither skeleton skulls which give you Wither II, or he shoots fire at you.

He also shoots snowballs at one point which give you slowness and mining fatigue.

He also charges at you and when he hits you, you get nausea for a few seconds.

When he "conjures up frost pools", keep your distance because it can cause a HUGE lag spike, which might lead to your loss.

He may sound impossible. But he has a weakness. He gets stuck in the cauldrons. Because of the way that the mobs move in trials, Zulrah will do the annoying spin and get himself stuck in the cauldrons. It's usually based on luck but it happens pretty much every time. I don't think there are any discovered ways to manipulate the probability of this happening.

But keep shooting him with arrows and make sure to keep your distance. You will be sure to win.
Good luck in your trials and have fun!

I’m glad I waited before attempting the trials, personally I’m bad at PvE (not as bad as I am with PvP, but still I’m up there).

I really appreciate this guide, and that you put time and effort into it and really went into a lot of good details. It’s a nice touch that you broke up the different waves and put detail into all of them. This guide is extremely helpful and informative and will definitely help out new and existing players, especially as the ancient trials are relatively new.

Keep up the good work, Bonkyboii <3

I could not have done this without you. Thank you so much for your footage.

Thank you! I just wanted to make sure that I included as much visual imagery as possible, as people are more visual learners than written.

I think you should probably write up a guide for people who use the archer kit or the warrior kit. You make them really good and not everyone likes tank. (No idea why but thats how people are)

(I'm still salty that trials got more attention on olympus than they did on skyblock :P)

From reading through the guide, it seems like the main strategy is to get a bow and lots of arrows, then shoot everything that needs being shot.
From this, the only advantage the tank kit gives you, is the ability to "tank" the melee units fairly easily.

My strategy is to go as an archer (infinite arrows and all) and just shoot everything. (I have the same strategy as in this guide for dealing with endermen.)

For the last round, I can kite Zulrah to get stuck behind the anvils flanking the entrances to the outer ring area. Then I just shoot Zulrah to death from a safe vantage point (only the fireballs can reach me).

Thanks for the help, Hydr0KT also has a YT video that is a guide!
yes lol which i quoted frequently xD

fire potion can last u from the rounds with blazes to round 10
You don't really need fire potions if you're good at dodging. I'm not saying exactly what you should do. it's just a strategy.

I actually managed to do it, (using this guide) thanks Boonk:)

literally your own guide there xD but i think it takes too long to kill stuff. my preference.

I might consider this at some point.
