Inventory & Prayer

Inventory

Prayer

• 1 Ranging Potions

• Spec Weapon (If you want) - This can be replaced with another piece of food
• Food (a few Karambwans can also be used to tick eat the ghost phase)

Mechanics

• A mixture of ranged and magic attacks will be used by her. It is adviced to stick with Protect from Ranged, as the magic attacks are less frequent.
• She spits three balls of fire, this will be seen on the ground. It is best to avoid these areas as standing on them will deal damage every few ticks.
• She summons three souls that come from the river behind her and attack the player with each combat style. First one dealing magic damage, followed by range and finally with a melee attack. For this part, you may want to prayer flick to avoid these attacks. If not, you can just protect from Mage and keep hp to full. Overall, it is advised to bring a range setup to inflict maximium damage to this boss. Furthermore, you should protect from ranged when against Cerberus and prayer flick when against the three souls.
• After a kill, you should teleport home and use the box of health
• As the lair is instanced, Cerberus WILL NOT respawn
• If using range, you should unlock and use Rigour to deal extra damange.
