I would try the mage only method. I really struggled with the diary task myself but I eventually got it with mage only, the RuneLite plugin and reseting until I got the easiest rota. The wiki helps aswell.

This was definitely the move for the single diary kill. Got it myself using it.
Gz!
what would you say was the easiest rotation?
I‘m not sure what its called but I used this one.
I also found this video guide very helpful. I believe I actually chose the rotation because of the video.
I'll give that a shot, thank you.
Good luck!
.... and I got it. Following that guide. I still had to go into the random phase and powered through but did get it. thank you for recommending that video :)
Gz! :)
If you are on RuneLite look for the plugin called Zulrah plugin/Zulrah helper in the plugin hub. It shows you where to stand, what to pray, and eventually through use of it you will learn all the rotations. When I 1st started killing Zulrah I struggled a lot and wondered if I should actually play this game and now I can do it in my sleep. Maybe you do fine instantly but I'm just saying don't get discouraged if it seems overwhelming at 1st.
I tried the helper and I think I died 3 times before I stopped for the night.... I think I just need to get familiar with one rotation first at this point. With everything going on with the fight, i forget to click the right step in the helper plugin and get myself even more confused.
Prioritise your prayer at all times. Time your gear and prayer switches to happen between phases so you spend the most time inflicting damage. If you're having difficulty switching, use void with only a weapon, helm and cape switch. Use veng if you're feeling spicy for some extra damage. And don't worry about it needing many attempts, I think it took me 16 deaths before I got my first kill, you'll get there.
I hunted for green green as first two to get my diary kill I believe. It took a couple tries to get that rotation, but shouldn't take too long. Good luck!
I know you said you've tried the Runelite plugin, but I actually found this website much more helpful for the rotation: https://josephsplace.github.io/zulrah-helper/. Zulrah is honestly hard to learn but once you do, it comes naturally.
