[edit] Fighting Bork
Bork has fairly moderate defence, although he is weak to magical attacks. He attacks with melee, is immune to poison, and can hit up to 25. While you are fighting Bork, Surok (during the miniquest) or a Dagon'hai Elite (afterwards) will attack you every 10 to 15 seconds with magic that can hit up to 27. One possible plan of battle therefore is to use the Protect from Melee prayer to defend against Bork, wear Dragonhide armour to defend against magic, and bring high-healing food such as Sharks. If you fight Bork using melee, then wearing the Black mask or Slayer helmet will give you their benefits during the battle (tests made seem to prove this).
When Bork gets to around two-thirds health, he will summon 3-7 level 70 Ork legions, which will attack you using melee and range. (Three small orks form one ork legion. In a combat round you will only be attacked once per legion, not once per ork.) The Protect from Summoning prayer will not protect against them. For high-level players, the legions are not much of a threat, so these players can ignore them and focus on defeating Bork although the Ork legions are sometimes killed for the charms they drop at a 100% rate.
There are several safe spots for fighting Bork along various walls. If using ranged or magic, you can use Protect from Magic and avoid taking damage from the Dagon'hai Elite. Although, when the Ork legions appear, you might temporarily switch to Protect from Melee or Protect from Range until you kill them.
When Bork dies, Surok or the Dagon'hai Elite will teleport away, and the cave will start to collapse. You will only have a short time to remain in the cave, if you do not leave of your own accord after a minute, the game will force you out.

You cannot fight Bork more than once in the 24-hour time period starting at 0000 (UTC); trying to enter the portal to Bork's room too soon results in you seeing the message: 'The portal appears to have stopped working for now. Perhaps you should return later?'
Surok is only in the room with Bork during the miniquest. However, the Dagon'hai Elite who is there afterwards is just as dangerous as Surok, using magic attacks that can hit up to 27.
If a player dies after defeating Bork, or is disconnected near the end of the fight and manages to defeat Bork during the disconnect time, the player's dropped items will be found in the Dagganoth chamber at the entrance portal to Bork's chamber.
The Prayer-restoring feature of the Falador Shield CANNOT be used while fighting Bork. However, if one runs to either the safespot or simply away from Bork, one may use this feature to restore half of their prayer level to their prayer points (e.g. 60 prayer restores 30 prayer points using the feature).
[edit] Getting there
Use the following maps to get to Bork quickly after you have done the miniquest. You will pass though the room with bronze dragons on the way to Bork, so either bring an Anti-dragon shield or be sure they are not near the portal before teleporting into that room.
[edit] Habitat
Chaos tunnels, Surok's room (also known as Bork's room).
[edit] Drops
[edit] 100% drops
Bork will always drop these items when he is defeated:
- Big bones
- 2,000-10,000 Coins
- 5 Blue charms
- 7 Crimson charms
- 2 Green charms
- Uncut ruby
- Uncut emerald
- Uncut sapphire
The Ork legions always drops one charm, often a gold charm.
[edit] Other drops
- Level 3 Clue scroll (very rare)
- 10 Gold charms (very rare)
- Rune Kiteshield (very rare)
- Rune med helm (very rare)
- Femur bone (for the wishlist after Fur 'n' Seek quest, uncommon)
[edit] Trivia
- "Borked" is internet-technical slang for something that is broken as in "that update borked" or "you totally borked the time rotor." In this case the portals in the Chaos Tunnels are "borked".
- "Bork" is also reference to the Borg, a race in Star Trek that seeks to forcefully add other species into their collective. When fighting the Ork Legions that Bork summons, they may shout phrases like "We are the collective!" "Resistance is futile!", references to the Borg in Star Trek.
- "Bork" is also a portmanteau of the two words 'Big and 'Ork'. This is played on in his examine text which says "That's one Big ork."
- Interestingly, Bork is used by the Dagon'hai, worshippers of Zamorak, but drops a femur bone, which is listed by the Odd Old Man's wish-list as coming from a "large follower of Bandos"
- Bork looks like the cave troll from Lord of the Rings.
