The fight

Mechanics

Glowing symbols appear around players, and lightning hits anyone still on them four ticks later for up to 16.

Its feather attack's colour tells you the prayer: red melee, green ranged, blue magic. Prayed correctly it does 0-2, otherwise up to 14. You break five body segments of 250 health each to reach the head, which has 2,500. Charging the pillars with the three prayers spread across the team gives a 30% damage boost. On the tail the shield has 300 health and hits are capped at 4, or 9 with crush. A shockwave for 20-25 lands about every 20 seconds, then every 15 near the end, so stay above 40 health.

Which style: Melee, using crush as your highest attack bonus.
