Damis

Damis is one of the four guardians of the Diamonds of Azzanadra, fought during the Desert Treasure quest in the Shadow Dungeon. He has two forms, the first being a rather easy level 103, the second being a very tough level 174.

Both forms of Damis have the ability to drain Prayer. He drains prayer by 3-5 points each time he hits, even if he hits a zero.

Keep in mind that Damis is located in a multicombat area. Protect from Melee prayer is strongly advised, as Damis has a maximum hit of 29 and attacks as fast as throwing knives.

Locations
West of the Fishing Guild, down a ladder which requires the Ring of Visibility to be seen. When approaching Damis' location, the player will be told that they hear a voice from the walls telling them to turn back.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Damis is said to be the hardest of the bosses in Desert Treasure.

He uses what looks like full black armour with black medium helm and a black 2h sword in 1 hand. His main weakness seems to be Earth spells, so spells such as Earth Blast or Earth Wave are advised. It is also recommended to use Snare, Bind, or Entangle to keep him in one place. Using binding spells will also greatly reduce the need of Prayer potions.

On his second form, 10-20 Prayer potions may be needed. A couple of Energy potions (4) may be used to get through the lair, and rest of inventory should be filled with sharks.



Damis Safespot
There is a safespot that is commonly used by players to save prayer potions. Once Damis appears run back out the way you came. Head south then east. Keep running east until you come to a narrow corridor and stand behind the rat. The rat shouldn't move so you should be able to safely mage him. This way you shouldn't need more than one prayer potion(4) and you will only need that on your way to Damis. See the Desert Treasure quest guide for more tips and methods.
