Kamil

Kamil, the Knight of Ice is one of the guardians of the Diamonds of Azzanadra. He must be killed to complete the Desert Treasure quest. He uses ice magic spells that will freeze the player and hit double 50s, and sometimes a much stronger melee attack that can hit up to 220. In addition, the extreme cold when you're fighting him will reduce your stats. He is weak against fire spells; this, coupled with the weakness of his spells, means that using fire magic is advisable against him. Wearing Void knight equipment will protect from his attacks effectively, if you have it.

Kamil makes a reappearance in the Recipe for Disaster final battle as Karamel. Interestingly, he seems to change gender when he reappears, as Karamel is female.

Getting to Kamil
Kamil is reached east of the Ice Path, north of Trollheim.

To get there, teleport to Trollheim, which requires 61 Magic, and completion of Eadgar's Ruse quest required, and walk to the Ice Gate. If you have not done so already, talk to the troll child outside the gate and give him something sweet, like a cake, so that he will let you through (you only need to do this once). Squeeze between the gate, then kill five ice trolls (level 120-123) to make the icicles blocking the cave in the south-east break away. Go through the cave and head up the Ice Path, past the ice wolves (level 132) and you'll enter Kamil's Arena, where the battle is fought. For a more detailed guide, see the Desert Treasure guide.

Killing Kamil
Kamil is a powerful opponent. He is considered one of the most annoying bosses to fight in Desert Treasure, due to the constant draining of stats by snow, eating food and drinking restore potions frequently, and having to stop fighting due to his freeze magic attack. He can hit up to 220 with melee, and double 50's with magic. It's a good idea to wear Ahrim's Robes, Lunar Robes, Splitbark Armour, or Mystic Robes with Black d'hide legs to fight Kamil. For the best results, take high-healing food, monkfish or better.

Fire spells are clearly the best way to go, but there is a common misconception here. Many people believe spells like Fire Wave are the best. However, the Freeze Effect (the effect that the icy area lowers all stats) reduces your magic level. The higher level Fire spell you're using, the more stat restore potions you will need. Fire Bolt with Chaos Gauntlets is a very good idea, and Fire Blast also works if you have a very high Magic level (80+ is advisable).

Once you come up against Kamil, turn on Protect from Magic or Protect from Melee and begin maging Kamil up close. He will constantly teleport next to you, freeze you, and then melee you, so trying to run around is wasting time, as you won't get away. This fight isn't particularly hard if you do it right. When he freezes you, you can't attack him, so just hang in there and sip some super restore potions or eat while you wait. Towards the end of the battle, he will stop freezing you as frequently, which is the best time to start to autocast spells to make it go quicker. As super restore potions also give prayer points back, this means that apart from the fact you hit slightly lower you will drink just as many potions as if this was outside the icy area, which gets rid of his advantage. Using this, he becomes just another monster. A one click teleport such as a Teleport tablet or ectophial is heavily recommended. It has been proved that Kamil can be killed by a cannon but this is not recommended unless you are a defence pure or high levelled (because Kamil will never stop attacking you). Kamil is also immune to poison.

There is a partial safe spot which is very effective, however Kamil will use magic attacks very infrequently.
