Necrolord



Necrolord is a Dungeoneering boss encountered on the Occult floors, requiring a Dungeoneering level of 77 to encounter and fight, he is the leader of all the necromancers in the Occult floors and responsible for the creation of the Skeletal trio.

Necrolord is located behind a barrier of dead hands, making him impossible to harm with melee attacks. Therefore, players must either use Magic or Ranged to harm it. During the fight, he will summon Skeletal minions to attack players. It is impossible to walk or shoot through the skeletons, and players will not gain any combat experience from damaging them.

Necrolord's primary attack is earth surge, which can be completely blocked by Protect from Magic or Deflect Magic. However, his secondary attacks, a binding spell, hits through protection prayers, as will another attack that drains running energy. However, these secondary attacks may be completely avoided by running away from the targeted spot. When he summons skeletons, it casts five small purple balls onto different spots on the floor, and the undead would appear in those squares. It is recommended to teleport out of the boss room if you see this cast since the Skeletons hits very high and through prayers.

Before any skeletons are summoned, it is recommended to run up to the barrier and Protect from Magic or Deflect Magic to drastically reduce damage taken. After Necrolord summons the skeletons, it's best to switch to Protect from Melee or Deflect Melee, because they are very accurate and strong for their combat level. It should be noted that vengeance only activates if Necrolord damages a player (ie. skeletal minions do not activate vengeance).

A strategy that is sometimes used, is to send somene with 99 defence and full melee armour to tank the hits from the skeletons while the other four members of the party sit back and range him until the fight is over. Another strategy is to summon Deathslingers to deal range damage. If you teleport out of the boss room, your Deathslingers will stay in the room, attacking the Necrolord. The summoned skeletons will not attack your Deathslinger.
