Banshee mistress

Beta

The Banshee Mistress is fought in the Smoking Kills quest. To enter her chamber, players must have a Banshee voice. At some point during the battle, when she is low on LP, she will call her minions to help. When this happens, four level 141 Insectoid Assassins will attack with powerful ranged attacks. When you kill her, the assassins vanish and a cutscene is played.

It is strongly recommended that players wield Masked earmuffs before attempting to fight her and also whilst in the cave; otherwise there is a very high risk of death.

If you do die at the hands of the banshee mistress, your gravestone will still be accessible, spawning just outside the barrier to her room. However, unless you have a backup pair of masked earmuffs, it will be very difficult to reach (as the banshee's screams will deal 80s to you and freeze you in place while the smoke periodically buffets you for 200 damage each time.)

Due to an update, if a player dies while fighting the Banshee Mistress, they will now automatically keep the masked earmuffs and their gravestone will spawn next to the well in Pollnivneach.

Habitat

 * Desert Slayer Dungeon in Pollnivneach.

Fighting Strategies
It is recommended that players wear their best Dragonhide armour, as the Mistress uses a magic-based melee attack and the spell Water Blast. Throughout the fight, the Mistress will randomly hit players with an acoustic attack, causing the player to fall over. If auto-retaliate is off, then the player will not attack the Mistress again, possibly causing the player to die.

During the fight, players should stand next to the Mistress, using Protect from Melee and eating when necessary. When the Mistress says, 'Minions, aid me', the player should quickly swap to Protect from Range or the player could be hit for up to 800 life points (The rangers hit a max of 200 and there are 4 of them.) Players should then watch their health and prayer carefully and eat as often as required.

Required Items to kill

 * Masked earmuffs
 * Equipment with a good magic defence bonus
 * Decent food (Such as monkfish or Sharks)
 * 1-2 Prayer potions
 * Emergency teleport (Such as the ectophial)
 * A Ring of Life could prove useful.

Players should wear:
 * The best available Dragonhide armour. (Armadyl armour is a more expensive, although better choice if the player can afford it. It possesses higher stats than dragonhide as well as a small prayer bonus. It does however give a small penalty in melee bonuses too.)
 * Good Weapon ( such as a whip.)
 * Plenty of Runes/Arrows
