Inventory & Prayer

Inventory

Prayer

The inventory for the snakes is rather easy. Despite being able to take up to 60 damage (if 3 snakelings and 3 snakes all hit 10), you'll rarely ever see damage above 10 or so if praying ranged, so all you need is:

• Food
  
• 1-2 Stat boosting potions and antipoison. A 2 to 1 ratio is recommended on the prayer restoration potions to ranging potions, i.e. 2 super restores per 1 ranging potion.
  
• Spec weapon can be useful, albeit one of the snakes can't be hit with melee, so be aware of that.
  
• Optional: A teleport out. With 3 snakes being there, it's recommended to bring a way to teleport mid combat as there is no door out, and you cannot use the home teleport during combat.
  

Mechanics

The boss is pretty straight forward, however, it does have 2 mechanics to watch out for:

• Every now and then the Snake will spawn snakelings, which will need to killed before you can damage the snake again.
• Sometimes it might also dive under water for a few seconds. in that time, you can't attack it. If multiple snakes are still alive, use this time to kill them.
