Ironman notes
- You need 17 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
- Counts as a Slayer task from Jacquelyn and Vannaka (task: cave slimes). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to slash weapons: bring that style for faster kills.
- Its attacks can poison you: carry antipoison or wear something that blocks poison.
- It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
