Ironman notes
- You need 58 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
- Counts as a Slayer task from Chaeldar and Sumona (task: cave horrors). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to air spells: bring that style for faster kills.
- Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
- A herb source: it drops 3 kinds of grimy herb, useful for Herblore without farming runs.
- Drops crimson charm, gold charm, green charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
- 12 of its drops come noted, so they don't fill your inventory.
- It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
