About
The Crazy Archeologist is a low-tier demi-boss found in the wilderness, near the Forgotten Cemetary. He is also known as "Bellock" as seen in his statements when he attacks the players.
Bellock, along with Scorpia and the Chaos Fanatic, are the only bosses to drop the Shards needed to make the Odium Ward and Malediction Ward.
Bellock is also the best way to get ahold of the best staff in the game, the Sanguinesti Staff 
, as well as the Kodai Insignia 
, needed for making the best wand in the game, the Kodai Wand.
Therefore, this demi-boss is a great way for ironmen to start up their pvm'ing side.
Getting There
As with just about all bosses, the Crazy Archeologist can be found by teleporting via the Purple Wizard under "Wilderness" followed by "Crazy Archeologist" (Or Crazy Arch if using quick teleports)
Inventory & Prayer
The inventory for the Crazy Archeologist is very simple as he's considered a "lower level" boss to do:
- Food (Combo food recommended in case of pk'ers or in case of multiple explosions hitting you at once)
- A stat boosting potion as well as prayer restoration
- Optional: Spec weapon
- Optional: Rune Pouch with Vengeance runes in case of tanking or being hit by the explosive attacks
As for prayer, the only attack style he does is ranged, so praying range will nullify most of his damage. It's recommended to keep "Protect Item" on due to being in the wilderness.
Mechanics
The Crazy Archeologist primarily uses ranged attacks, and can also use melee if standing next to him, all while shouting nonsensensical stuff at the player.
He does however have one special attack which happens shortly after he shouts "Rain of Knowledge!" which then lands 3 exploding books on the ground, which each can deal up to 24 typeless damage, resulting in a total of 72 if all 3 lands on the same tile (VERY unlikely, however, 2 on the same tile happens every 10 or so times)
This attack is not to be confused with his normal "Taste my knowledge!" comment, which is just a normal ranged attack.
