Decaying avatar

The Decaying avatar is a monster encountered in the Nomad's Requiem quest. It can heal three times while the player fights it, if it can eat nearby roots. The player can destroy the roots to prevent it from healing. Meleeing these roots, as the spawn is some squares away, is difficult to do before the Avatar reaches them and eats them.

Unlike the Avatars of Creation and Destruction, the Decaying Avatar will not drain your prayer when it hits you.

Note: This boss battle takes a lot of time, make sure you have time to spare. If you log or teleport out you need to start all over.

Trivia

 * The Decaying avatar is a prototype of the Avatar of Creation found in the minigame Soul Wars. They both have the same combat level and lifepoints.
 * Ruby bolts(e) can hit up to 2000.


 * Roots spawn northwest then southeast then northeast. They will heal him to 100%. The player can have more time to destroy the roots by safe-spotting the Decaying avatar from the opposite end of the room from where the root will appear. For example, if the next root is the southeast one, the player should range the avatar from the west end of the room. Therefore, the avatar must walk farther to get to the root, and the player can run there and destroy it before the avatar reaches it. Activating Protect from Melee or Deflect Melee is highly advised when switching safespots.
