Goraks are encountered during and after the A Fairy Tale Part II quest, where they are found in a separate dimension from Gielinor's, the Gorak Plane. Unlike many other quest monsters, players may fight these again. Goraks can also be found in the God Wars Dungeon. They bleed through another dimension and choose the god which shows them battle, who happens to be Zamorak.

Goraks can be tough monsters to fight (see Strengths and weaknesses below) but can also be rewarding for players who can go toe-to-claw with them. They drop Gorak claws fairly often, which are ingredients for Magic essence potions. This makes them popular for players who want to make the potions. Goraks are also popular for those players seeking half key drops, as these seem to be more frequent from Goraks than from most other monsters.

Goraks can be assigned as Slayer tasks in numbers of 40-80, by Duradel or Lapalok. Goraks will not be assigned as a task unless the player has completed Fairy Tale Part II - Cure a Queen.

Since most of Goraks' drops come from the rare drop table, wearing the ring of wealth while fighting them may be effective.

It's noticable that Goraks are one of the few monsters in-game to not be able to drop Summoning charms.

Strengths and weaknesses

File:Gorak hit.png
A Gorak's attack is typeless, thus it can hit through prayer.

Goraks use kicking attacks that ignore prayer and hit hard, so they are a fairly tough fight. Every damaging hit also drains at least one stat point from a random skill. Level 145 goraks can damage up to 140 life points per hit, and Level 149 can damage up to 165. They also attack at a rapid pace, approximately equal to a dagger's speed. Lower-levelled players should be extremely cautious, however players reaching maximum combat stats should have little trouble killing large quantities.

Goraks are confirmed to be weak to stab attacks. No other weaknesses have been reported. It has been shown that Goraks have a low defence level as well.

Goraks in the Fairy rings network can be fought using Ranged or Magic without the user having to receive damage. Once a sizable number of Goraks have crowded around you, run into a middle corner on one of the four isolated walls. With luck, the Goraks will be blocked by one another and cannot hit you. Run toward a different side and try again if they are still able to hit you. The downside to this is that walking away from your spot to pick up big bones or drops will require getting the Goraks to block each other all over again. Full Guthan's works well here.

Goraks can detect the presence of a player even from quite a distance. Although their dimension is not a multiway combat zone, it doesn't really matter whether you're being attacked or not; once you're around them and outside of the fairy ring, they will always try to cluster around and be ready to attack you once you're free. Running to the edge of the dimension and keeping a wall of rock between you and the central area cuts down on the number of goraks clustering about you. Also, players may enter the surrounding cloud bank to heal and use as a safe area away from the Goraks. However, it may be more convenient and safer to stay in the central area near the fairy ring, to be able to use it quickly.

In addition, Goraks also can be easily killed by simply hiding around the corner, trapping the Gorak around the corner making it unable to hit you, keeping you safe from its melee attacks. Other Goraks can come from behind you, however, and attack you. In that case, run to the opposite side and trap them again.

The ring of wealth improves the chances if equipped but is not required to access the table.

Trivia

File:BTS vid 16 Gorak update.png
An updated Gorak from the God Wars Dungeon video.
  • The examine text: "Gorak by name, Gorak by nature." Refers to architect Antoni Gaudi. People used to say "Gaudi by name, gaudy by nature".
  • If a Gorak attacks any monster (including summoning familiars), it will deal melee damage onto them.
  • Like Nomad, Goraks seem to have an attack that is not listed under any specific combat types.
