Ironman notes
- You need 77 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
- Counts as a Slayer task from Sumona, Duradel, Kuradal, Morvran and Laniakea (task: desert strykewyrms and strykewyrms). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to stab weapons: bring that style for faster kills.
- Immune to poison.
- A herb source: it drops 12 kinds of grimy herb, useful for Herblore without farming runs.
- Drops 17 kinds of seed, which keeps farm patches stocked.
- Drops crimson charm, gold charm, green charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
- 14 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.
