Recommended fight plan

  1. Begin ready for the Magic → Ranged → Melee triple attack.
  2. Respond to summoned souls with the matching protection prayers in their attack order. Keep prayer reserves.
  3. Move away from lava pools immediately. Crush weapons and demonbane weapons are useful options.

Nine four-dose prayer potions prioritise the soul-phase prayer drain. This is not a no-ghosts or thrall layout; do not rely on a fixed number of kills.

Equipment and budget

The interactive armoury recommends a curated, boss-appropriate equipment progression within the bankroll you enter. It also shows worn slots, item statistics, live quoted values and the inventory cost separately. It is not a maximum-DPS simulator, and it cannot verify your levels, quests, charges or unlocked travel routes.
