Mechanics
Duke starts asleep.
Wake him with two arder-musca poisons, made from arder powder, musca powder and salax salt found in the arena. In melee range, diagonals included, he spikes icicles for up to 11, or 5 with prayer. His slam hits up to 56, or 42 with prayer, and his magic up to 48. Every fifth attack is a freezing gaze for up to 101, so hide behind a pillar. Gas flares hit up to 12, less with a slayer helmet or gas mask.
Which style: Melee, slash in particular.
