Ironman notes

  • Counts as a Slayer task from Jacquelyn, Raptor, Vannaka and Laniakea (task: skeletons and undead). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
  • Weak to earth spells: bring that style for faster kills.
  • Immune to poison.
  • It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
