Tormented wraith

The Tormented wraith is a monster found in the part of the Spirit Realm accessed through the invisible portal at the centre of the Dark Warriors' Fortress. This portal can only be accessed with the upgraded Jennica's ring after Summer's End quest. It is recommended to switch to and wear a Ring of Wealth once there. It is also recommended to bring alchemy runes, because of the common black armour drops.

To fight this monster or even have it become aggressive, full black armour must be worn (full/med helm, platebody/chainbody, and platelegs/plateskirt as well as kite/square shield if not using a black two-handed sword) and any black weapon. Trimmed and gold trimmed black armour does not work against the Wraith. The elite black armour can be used in lieu of normal black armour.

As of September 30th., 2008 the Black defender and Black claws have been added to the items that players can use to fight the wraith. It is helpful to fight this monster using the Protect from Melee prayer as it will hit frequent and hard through black armour and elite black armour. It is not possible to change equipped items while fighting this monster. Familiars will not attack the wraith and cannonballs will simply pass through it.

It is possible to slay this monster using Range by using black darts or knives, although black crossbows will not work (even with black bolts). When fighting with Range a black shield must be wielded, note however, that it is not possible to throw the last knife or dart nor is it possible to add to the equipped ammunition either (such as would normally be done when picking up dropped knives/darts).

Magic is not recommended due to the negative effects of the armour necessary to kill the Wraith. Monster Examine states that the wraith is a Slayer monster and as such counts towards ghost assignments.

If players use ranged weapons like black knives or black darts, should a player reach his/her last knife/dart, the player will automatically stop attacking the tormented wraith. This is because if the last knife or dart is used, players would jump out and start fighting the wraith unarmed, which isn't possible.

There is also a safespot where players may range or attack with a halberd without taking any damage (as shown below).



There were complaints on the official Forums about high-leveled players "camping" at the Wraith. As it is a multicombat area, those players would always get the drop. Also, the fact that there is only one Wraith in each world, and that the Wraith is easily killed with a small team, has only led to more rants.
