Ironman notes
- You need 33 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
- Counts as a Slayer task from Chaeldar (task: harpie bug swarms). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to crush weapons: bring that style for faster kills.
- Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
- Drops green charm, gold charm, crimson 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.
