The fight

Mechanics

His max hit goes up 1% for every hitpoint he's missing, from 29 to 57 at 1 health.

Keep Protect from Melee on, and leave if your prayer runs out. Don't freeze him with Entangle or ice spells, because he tends to unfreeze at low health and hit big.

Which style: Magic, usually wind spells. He wears melee armour.
