The fight

Mechanics

Four phases: three with a 400 shield, then a last phase of 150 health.

Her attacks give you 3 ticks to switch to missiles or magic (both hit up to 80) and 2 ticks for melee (up to 73). The specials are what kill you. Husks freeze you, so kill the ranged one first in phases 1 and 2. Parasites need a sanfew serum or Relicym's balm. Spores stop you running and drain prayer, corpse flowers leave one safe quadrant, and grasping claws hit 50-65. Her curse shifts your prayers one to the right, and her surge hits about 80. Kill all the sleepwalkers before they reach her and the blast only does 5.

Which style: Melee. Upgrade melee gear before magic.
