Shadow-Forger Ihlakhizan

Shadow-forger Ihlakhizan is a Dungeoneering boss monster, part of the Stalker race, that requires level 59 Dungeoneering to encounter and fight.

The Shadow-forger is seen suspended over a deep ditch, hanging by four tentacles wrapped around the pillars on the corners of the hole.

The Shadow-forger has a number of different attacks, so be cautious.

His first attack is a multi-targetted melee attack in which the Shadow-Forger swings his body in a circle. His second attack is a single-targetting ranged attack that is an orange beam from the top of his body. It has a slight delay compared to his other attacks, but can immediatly be followed by them.

He has two special abilities as well. His first is green acid spurting from the top of his body. It CANNOT be blocked by prayer or armour, and is an area-of-effect attack, not targetting a single player but rather an area. His final special ability is a stat-draining attack. The Shadow-Forger will start to glow, then a few seconds later will give off a burst of light. To avoid it, a player must stand behind one of the pillars the Shadow-Forger is connected to. If a player is hit with this attack, the player will receive MASSIVE damage, normally 750+, as well as reducing your stats by a large amount. Much like the acid, prayer and armour will NOT reduce the damage the attack deals.

The Shadow-forger has relatively low defence for its combat level; stab and slash weapons seem to be the most effective. However, it makes up for this by having relatively high accuracy and strength.

If a player gets hit by the special attack while in the process of teleporting to the gatestone, the player's stats will still be drained.

Trivia

 * Oddly, though Ihlakhizan is suspended above a seemingly endless pit, when a player enters the floor below him the pit is no longer visible. This is not a glitch but rather an inconsistency.
 * Interestingly, Shadow-Forger Ihlakhizan appears to be damaged. On the one side he doesn't have a large eye on, what appears to be an optic nerve or trail of dried blood is seen coming from where it should be. This may possibly be damage caused by Thok, referenced in the third Marmaros and Thok journal.
 * The word Ihlakizan may be a reference to the Pokemon Alakazam, whats notably similar between these two is that Ihlakizan uses light-flash to dazzle his foe while Alakazam uses psychic which also emits a light source.
