Duke Sucellus
Boss Mechanics
Spoiler
Duke Sucellus:
This fight begins with the Duke asleep, and he must be awakened by creating a poison and using a few vials on him (2 for the regular form, 3 when awakened).
Players can collect Arder/Musca mushrooms on the platforms on either side of the duke, and the Salax salt can be mined at the rocks near the centre of the arena.
One of each of these 3 components will be needed to make a potion.
Once the components are acquired, players must grind the arder/musca mushrooms into powder, and put the components in the nearby fermentation vats to create the poison, which can then be used on the duke.
To the left and right of the asylum upon entering it, there is a pestle and mortar and iron pickaxe on the walls that players can take.
Once Duke Sucellus has been awakened, he will begin to attack the player using either a magic or melee attack, occasionally using one of his two special attacks.
Freezing Gaze:
Every fifth auto-attack, he focuses his gaze on the player, which will deal up to 95 damage if the player is not behind a pillar after a few seconds.
Gas Flare: The Duke will launch a gas flare from his mouth to a vent near the player, leaving a plume of poison gas there fore a few seconds. This is the same gas that players encounter at the beginning of the fight.
As he gets weaker, he will begin to launch more than one flare at a time.
The Leviathan
Boss Mechanics
Spoiler
The Leviathan:
The Leviathan is a giant sea serpent which resides in The Scar; players can begin this fight by boarding a small boat that is in the scar.
The Leviathan’s standard form has 900 hitpoints, and can only be attacked with range/mage.
The leviathan uses rapid auto attacks of all 3 styles, which can be fully protected using the correct prayer.
The leviathan also has 2 special attacks:
Lightning Barrage:
The leviathan will track the player and send barrages of lightning towards them, dealing massive damage if not dodged.
Smoke Blast:
The leviathan will fire debris at the player which does not disappear until after the fight; if players are hit by the debris, they will be knocked back and take damage.
After it fires the debris, then it will send a smoke blast throughout the entire arena, which can only be avoided by taking cover behind the debris.
The Leviathan takes 33% less damage while using it’s special attacks.
Special attacks are triggered by using a shadow spell on the Leviathan to stun it, and then hitting it in its weak spot, which is located on its back.
Enrage Mechanic:
Upon reaching a certain hitpoint threshold (20-30% hitpoints), the boss will become enraged, making the fight quite a bit more difficult.
Each of these bosses drops awakener’s orbs, which can be used to fight the awakened form of these bosses, which provides a much more difficult version of the fight.
The awakened bosses will be disabled for the first week, to give players time to get accustomed to the bosses, and make sure that everything works exactly as we expect.
There are no penalties for dying during these boss fights.
Players will be teleported to edgeville upon dying, but no items will be lost.
Improved common drop table:
Each of these bosses has an improved common loot table, which provides an increase in the amount of loot dropped from the non-unique drop tables.
To access this table, players must defeat the bosses perfectly, that is, they take no unavoidable damage throughout the fight.
Vardorvis
Boss Mechanics
Spoiler
Vardorvis:
Players can begin the fight by attacking Vardorvis while standing within the area enclosed by the pillars.
The fight will not begin unless the player is in this area, and their damage will always be 0.
Vardorvis uses melee as his primary attack, and using Protect from melee will reduce this damage by 75%.
Special Attacks:
Axes:
Vardorvis will regularly spawn 1-3 swinging axes that fly across the arena, which hit players if they are in the 3x3 area of the axe.
If hit by an axe, the player will take damage, and be inflicted with a bleed effect that hits them for 3 damage every few ticks, lasting for a few seconds.
Head Gaze:
A head will appear from out of the ground near Vardorvis, and launch a projectile at the player which will disable their protection prayers temporarily if the player does not correctly pray against the incoming projectile.
Strangle (CAPTCHA):
Vardorvis will strangle the player, and the player must click all of the vessels that appear on their screen before the time runs out, otherwise they will take damage.
Darting Spikes:
Vardorvis will dart around 1-3 times, summoning spikes near/on the player which will deal damage if the player is standing on the tile they rise out of.
The Whisperer
Boss Mechanics
Spoiler
The Whisperer:
Players must have a Blackstone fragment in their inventory to fight the whisperer, as this will give them access to the shadow realm.
Players will begin this fight with 100% sanity, which will drain for various reasons throughout the fight, and if their sanity drains to 0%, they will go insane, causing them to take damage every few ticks, which continually increases.
Being in the shadow realm, and being hit by certain attacks will drain sanity.
Being in the normal realm (except for during the awakened fight) will slowly recover sanity.
Players may also regain sanity in some cases from certain special attacks.
The Whisperer’s auto attack fires 3 range/mage projectiles, and then summons tentacles around the player which will damage them and drain their sanity by 20% if the player is hit by their shockwave.
Special attacks:
Shadow Leeches:
The Whisperer teleports to the centre of the arena and summons corrupted seeds around her. Players must step on all of the light green seeds to stop the attack.
The seeds will all appear the same in the normal realm, so players must use the Blackstone fragment to enter the shadow realm to see the real seed colours.
If all seeds are stepped on, players will regain 15% of their Sanity, otherwise they will lose sanity and take damage.
Soul siphon:
The Whisperer will summon souls around her, which players will need to kill to disrupt her chant.
The souls will all appear to be the same in the normal realm, so players will need to enter the shadow realm to see the true nature of the souls.
Players must kill all of a specific type of soul to disrupt a specific word in her chant.
Her chant has 4 specific words, “Vita!”, “Oratio!”, “Sanitas!”, “Mors!”, and disrupting each word will provide the player with a specific benefit.
If no words are disturbed, the player will take huge damage and lose a lot of sanity.
Screech:
The Whisperer will teleport to the back of the arena and summon pillars in front of her which the player must hide behind to avoid her screech.
Each screech will deal 20 damage to the pillars, and will instantly destroy the pillar that the player is standing behind.
The pillars will have different health, which can only be seen in the shadow realm, so players must decide which order to stand behind the pillars in to survive the screeches.
After you finish the quest teleport back to ::duel and talk to Eblis to access his shop and buy the Ring of Shadows which costs 5m.
Disclaimer: If you don't know how to fight the boss please go ahead and watch a guide on youtube for each boss.
