Talk:Nomad (monster)

Tips from the Runescape's Quest Help System
This is a copy paste from the website when you use the quest help system for Nomad's fight.

I can get to the Soul Wars island via a portal in south-west Edgeville.

The fight with Nomad won't be easy, and I will need to be prepared. I should bring a beast of burden familiar to carry extra food - the war tortoise being a decent choice for the battle.

Nomad will attack with a basic bolt attack every few seconds, but will also perform a special attack every fifteen seconds. This attack could be any one from the following:

Landmines – around 20 landmines are dropped around me. If I stand on one, it will explode and deal 40 damage, draining me of all run energy.

Soul Blast – Nomad will charge a powerful spell for 10 seconds, after which he will fire it at me. I can avoid this by hiding behind one of the pillars in Nomad's room. If I do not hide, it will hit me for 75 damage.

Mirror Image – Nomad will create three copies of himself. These will all attack me, but will be removed as soon as I strike them in combat. If I hit the real Nomad while he is mirror-imaged, all the fake Nomads will be removed.

Disintegrate – Nomad will forcibly teleport me to the middle of the room and freeze me in a block of ice. I will not be able to move for 15 seconds, but I can eat and shoot Nomad during this time. After 15 seconds, Nomad will hit me for just less than my full Hitpoints value. The only way for me to survive this attack is to be on full health when it happens!

Enrage – When reduced to 25% hitpoints, if he has already eaten his food, Nomad will go berserk and attack me with very fast but inaccurate melee attacks.

Protection prayers will not work against Nomad, and I cannot use safe spots to attack him.

Hey, isn't the CB the strongest quest monster? He's the final boss of Summer's End.Lord Captain Cecil Harvey 05:08, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, because you fight the Spirit beast through different means. It isn't a standard boss fight, so it isn't counted. 05:10, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Saps doesn't work?
A recent edit states that sap curses no longer works on Nomad, is this true? When I fought him (and died) yesterday, I got messages that my curses were draining his magic/defence etc.80.202.174.4 11:42, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
