Amy’s Annihilator Title Guide
The Nihil
All 4 nihil have Normal attacks, a Special attack (preceded by a *hiss*) and a Charge attack. Although the Charge attack is only used when they are not in combat, it will still do damage to players.
Ice (uses Magic, always runs South)
– Normal and Charge attacks drain Prayer
– Special attack freezes players (use Anticipate to deflect, or Freedom to escape)
Shadow (uses Ranged, always runs North)
– Special attack will cause damage if players don’t move away from it
Blood (uses Melee, always runs East)
– Normal attack can heal other nihil
– Trying to damage it during a Special attack will heal it
Smoke (uses Magic, always runs West)
– The Charge and Special attacks will cause a stat drain (Slayer helmet may be helpful here)
– The Special attack can be dodged
The Fight
Plainly, divide-and-conquer tactics are going to make a big difference here.
– Think about the order in which to kill the nihil (I decided I didn’t want to be battling prayer drain, so Ice died first)
– Think about where your character is (if you stay away from crossroads, you can reduce how many Charge attacks may affect you)
My random bits
– Getting the title took me multiple attempts
– I used Magic log bonfires for a HP boost
– I took armour and weapons in one style (Ranged) and just barely succeeded, a Melee weapon (and/or hybrid armour) may have made my fight easier.
– I found Leech Defence very helpful.
