Ironman notes
- You need 40 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
- Counts as a Slayer task from Mazchna, Chaeldar and Sumona (task: basilisks). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to bolts (crossbows): bring that style for faster kills.
- Immune to stuns.
- Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
- Always drops Bones: Prayer XP as you go.
- Mostly met during a quest, so it may not be farmable afterwards.
