Ironman notes
- You need 88 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
- Counts as a Slayer task from Vannaka, Sumona, Kuradal, Morvran and Laniakea (task: corrupted creatures and scorpions). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to water spells: bring that style for faster kills.
- Drops crimson charm, gold charm, green charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
- It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
