Ironman notes

  • You need 80 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
  • Counts as a Slayer task from Kuradal, Morvran and Laniakea (task: nightmare creatures). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
  • Weak to earth spells: bring that style for faster kills.
  • Always drops Bones: Prayer XP as you go.
  • It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
