Tier

Late

Combat level

785

Style

Melee

Requirements

No requirement. Only spears/halberds/Fang (Zamorakian spear, Noxious halberd); everything else does 50% damage. Group or long solo

Why kill it as an Ironman

Arcane sigil (Elidinis' ward (f)), Spectral/Elysian sigils, Holy elixir (Blessed spirit shield). Worth it once you have the Elidinis' ward from ToA.

Loot

Beast in the cave beside the Wilderness (Games necklace). Very hard magic, melee if you are close, a core that heals it, and 50% damage reduction against non-corpbane weapons. Ironmen 90+ get their own room; solo you drain its stats with specials.

Magic

3 variants: standard (65), Magic/Prayer drain (55, heals it half), and an AoE that splits into 6 (move 5 tiles from the targeted tile). Protect from Magic only blocks 1/3 but always use it: more frequent and stronger than the melee.

→

Melee and stomp

Melee (33) only in melee range. Stand under it and it stomps for 30-51 every 7 ticks through prayer. Never stand under it.

⚠→🚫

Dark energy core

1/8 chance on a 32+ hit or when it attacks under 1000 HP. Leeches 5-13 every 2 ticks from adjacent players to heal it. Hit it as it lands and step 2 tiles away: if it dies mid-air it never respawns. Poisoning it slows it down.

⚠→🚫

Damage reduction

Melee and ranged deal 50% less unless using a corpbane weapon on stab (Zamorakian spear, Noxious halberd, Fang). Magic, Vengeance and recoil are not reduced. It regens stats every 12 s and fully heals after 3 min without attacks.

1. Teleport with a Games necklace (the cave is not Wilderness). Ironman 90+: separate room, nobody can assist and you cannot enter instances.
2. Solo: 3 Elder maul specials, 19 Emberlight/Arclight specials and 200 damage of BGS specials. Recharge special at your house pool (or the Elidinis Statuette) and come back.
3. With its stats at 0 kill it with a Zamorakian spear or Noxious halberd on stab and Protect from Magic: almost no food, 10-15 min per kill.
4. Quick-pool alternative with the Fang: 2-3 maul/DWH specials, Voidwaker, and pool reset whenever your HP drops to 43.
5. Kill the core from 2 tiles when it spawns and keep hitting.

• 💡 Draining everything is the only realistic option for HCIM and UIM. Death-piling (dying with karambwans, they stay 60 min on the floor) gives faster kills if you have the gear.
• 💡 You need a restoration pool and jewellery box in your POH: special energy does not return fast enough otherwise.
• 💡 Magic defence (Karil's, Imbued heart), Vengeance and a Ring of suffering (i) cut a lot of damage. The cannon suffers the reduction twice (bug).
