Ganodermic beast

Ganodermic beasts are monsters requiring a Slayer level of 95 to kill. They are found at the bottom of the Polypore Dungeon.

Strategy
Melee attacks cannot be used against ganodermic beasts, and they have high defence against Ranged attacks. Therefore, it is advisable to use Magic attacks to kill them, the best spells being either Storm of Armadyl or Fire Surge. The polypore staff is another option. The beasts use a rapid melee attack that damages for around 20 life points and a magic attack when the player is not in melee range. As they are quite large, players should take little or no damage if they pray against Magic and lure the beasts behind one of the many stalagmites in the dungeon.

While fighting them it is worth using Neem oil. This causes them to stop attacking for a short period and they'll instantly drop an item. You can also do this outside of combat and they won't be aggressive towards you. The fungi on its back goes from yellow to black when affected by the oil and the process can be repeated when then go back to being yellow. It is also beneficial to bring a Pestle and Mortar, doing so will cause Neem Drupes to automatically be converted into Neem Oil upon entering your inventory.

It is recommended to bring a bonecrusher, holy wrench, an enhanced excalibur to heal from the occasions on which the lure fails, a jug of neem oil and a pestle and mortar. With a pack yak familiar, several overloads, extreme magic potions, or magic potions, and 20 or more prayer potions, it is possible to stay in the dungeon for hours without needing to bank. You will also need runes for whatever spell you are casting.
