They also do not share their ability to jump to the players location as seen in the CoX Guide.

Lizardman Guide FAQs

Below is some of the most frequently asked questions by players reading this strategy guide and looking to kill Lizardmen for the first time.

Are Lizardmen worth killing?

Yes, especially if you have received them as a slayer task. As there are large volumes of them found in close proximity to each other and in a multi-combat zone. This makes them very good for cannoning and efficient experience rates.

What are Lizardmen weak to?

Lizardmen are weak to both ranged and melee attack styles. They have negative stab defence, so if you are choosing to use melee, a good stab weapon such as the rapier is useful here.

Do Lizardmen Shaman count as Lizardmen?

Yes, if you are assigned a Lizardman task, you can use it to kill both Lizardmen or Lizardmen Shamans. Including the Shamans found inside of CoX.

Do you need Shayzien Armour for lizardmen?

No, Shayzien Armour is not required or recommended for killing Lizardmen. It is however, recommended when killing Lizardman Shamans.
