Ironman notes
- You need 47 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
- Counts as a Slayer task from Jacquelyn, Mazchna and Chaeldar (task: rats and brine rats). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to fire spells: bring that style for faster kills.
- Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
- Drops gold charm, crimson charm, green charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
- Always drops Bones: Prayer XP as you go.
- 4 of its drops come noted, so they don't fill your inventory.
