Two gargoyles on the Slayer Tower roof: Dawn flies (ranged, magic or halberd) and Dusk is immune to ranged and magic (melee). 4 alternating phases; finish each with a rock hammer.

Dawn phase 1

Dusk is immune: blowpipe Dawn with Protect from Missiles. Her Stone Ball (3x3) freezes 6 s and hits 15. At 55% she flies up.

→

Dusk phase 2

Melee only. When his wing glows move 1 tile away or get knocked back (~28). Never stand under him (40 trample). Dawn drops 3x3 rocks (22 and stun).

⚠→🚫

Lightning phase 3

Vortices on the roof, one on your tile: stand clear of all. Then Dawn fires 3 spheres that heal her 90: absorb them by walking into them.

→🔄

Dusk phase 4

He drags you into a fire prison: leave through the gap within 5 ticks or take 65 that heals him. Uses melee (26) and ranged (2x15): pray against the style he last used.

1. Unlock the roof with the Brittle key. Bring a rock hammer and a nosepeg (or the ivy at 81 Agility).
2. Ring the Cloister Bell from the left-most tile by the bell to off-tick them.
3. Phase 1 ranged on Dawn. Phase 2 melee on Dusk, stepping away when the wing glows.
4. Phase 3: dodge vortices, absorb spheres, rock hammer Dawn under 10 HP.
5. Phase 4: escape the prison, pray his last style, rock hammer Dusk under 10 HP.

• 💡 With 90+ Ranged and a blowpipe you kill Dawn before she absorbs spheres. They drop mushroom potatoes and potions that extend trips.
