The fight

Mechanics

This is a skilling fight.

Mine the glowing rocks in a corner for tephra, refine it at the furnace, imbue it at the altar and throw it at her. Stand in the blue symbols for a big damage and accuracy boost. The arena does the damage. Falling boulders hit 40+ and orange symbols hit up to 26 and drain run energy. Pebbles hit about 5, and a shockwave hits about 10 when she gets up. Golems heal her armour by 50. When her armour runs out she drops and you can mine her.
