The fight

Mechanics

Up close she melees half the time and uses magic or ranged the rest.

Her magic and ranged always hit. Pray magic through both phases. When the first form dies she turns into her second form. Walk under her straight away or she gets an extra hit, and standing under her lowers her damage. Near the cocoons every hit has a 1/20 chance to hatch a kalphite worker.

Which style: Any style, but flinching only works with melee. A slayer helm (i) on task beats any other gear.
