Bal'lak the Pummeller

Bal'lak the Pummeller is a boss of Daemonheim, requiring a Dungeoneering level of 65 to fight and is currently the final boss in the Dungeoneering skill. Bal'lak will use melee and magic doing about 200 damage, when entering the room, he will have a defence bar displayed at the top part of the screen. This is his defence power and every second it will gradually go up and eventually you will not be able to hurt him. As you are attacking him, he will grunt and cause bubbling pools of noxious fumes to appear on the floor. Lure Bal'lak near one of these pools to weaken his defence. Each portal will weaken him about 30% of the bar and he will summon more than one pool at a time. However if you accidentally run across (or stand near the portal in a 1 block radius) the pool will gradually do damage to you, which will compound so be careful not to stand on, or near the portal itself. The battle should only take 2 minutes or fewer with a party of two. Only an inventory of food and a good tiered weapon is needed to fight Bal'lak. Protection prayers and deflection curses can be temporarily blocked by this boss, though he will not be able to affect your other prayers and curses.

Another strategy that is effective against Bal'lak, especially in larger teams, is to concentrate on attacking and use gatestone teleports when his defence bar gets high. Waiting outside resets the bar and then players can enter the boss room again and continue the offensive.

Stab and Crush attacks are highly effective. It is recommended to have as many people as possible fighting, because Bal'lak is a very difficult opponent; however, be warned that this will also increase his combat level.

Trivia

 * Like To'Kash the Bloodchiller and Har'Lakk the Riftsplitter, Bal'lak the Pummeller is similar in appearance to the God Wars Dungeon boss K'ril Tsutsaroth, the leader of the Zamorak army, but he uses warhammers instead of scimitars as his weapons.
 * Bal'lak the Pummeller has a similar colour scheme to that of Barrows' armour, especially to that of Dharok. Bal'lak's twin hammers are reminiscent of Torag's hammers.
 * It is possible that Bal'lak could have the highest Combat level and Life Points in Runescape if there is a party has 5 players, all with high combat levels, however this has not been confirmed.
 * Bal'lak is one of the Kal'Gerion generals summoned to Gielinor by the Mahjarrat Bilrach.
