Bandos avatar

The Bandos avatar is a monster the player must fight during The Chosen Commander quest. It is the High Goblin Priest with the amulet of Bandos while being under his control.

In order to win against the avatar, you will have to shoot him with Zanik's crossbow. However, during the fight, the crossbow gets broken into three pieces, and needs to be reassembled again to work properly. After you defeat him the second time using the crossbow special is a dialogue option. However, if you do not follow the proper dialogue, he will use his powers to restore all of his health, making him technically immortal.

The Bandos Avatar is responsible for depositing Bandos's Ultimatum in the middle of Dorgesh-Kaan.

Strategy
The Bandos avatar can be easily ranged it's also recommended you bring Dragon-Hide Armour for ranged bonus and a bit more Magic defence, the avatar stays in the same position throughout the fight so use this to you advantage. Protect from Magic prayer may help here as well, and protect from melee when Zanik's Crossbow breaks, as you then get attacked by low levels by melee whilst picking up the crossbow pieces.

Habitat(s)
Bandos' throne room

Other drops
Bones, Bandos Pendant

Trivia

 * This monster can currently be seen on the main page banner.


 * The Avatar holds the mace in its right arm, but on the RuneScape banner, it is held in the left arm.


 * The mace it's wielding looks like the Granite Mace. This is because the Granite Mace is one of Bandos's army weapons wielded during the God Wars.
