TL;DR — Muspah cycles through ranged → magic → melee phases — just swap your overhead prayer to match. No dragonfire, no venom, no rush. Bring a trident/blowpipe or a strong crossbow, watch for the spike walls and prayer-drain, and it's a relaxing ~1.5–3M/hr with a shot at the Venator shard.
Requirement
Secrets of the North
Requirements
- Complete Secrets of the North. Recommended 70+ Ranged/Magic, 43+ Prayer, and some food — it's very forgiving.
The phases
Phase 1 · Ranged & Magic
Muspah attacks with ranged, then magic.
Match your overhead prayer to whatever it's using (Protect from Missiles / Magic). Attack with your best style.
Shield / prayer-drain
It shields and drains your prayer, and spawns
spike walls — move out of the line and keep hitting. If it heals, DPS through it.
Melee phase
It walks up to melee you — pray Melee, step away and keep ranging, or tank with high Defence. Then it returns to the ranged/magic cycle.
No dragonfire, no venom, no hard timers — Muspah is one of the best "learn to boss" targets in the game. Perfect for newer clanmates.
