Fire Warrior of Lesarkus



The Fire Warrior of Lesarkus is encountered while exploring during the Temple of Ikov quest. He guards a door leading to Winelda the witch. When a player attempts to open the door, the Fire Warrior will appear and demand to know their identity. If the player chooses to identify himself or herself as a humble pilgrim, he will comment that no pilgrims have been to the temple for hundreds of years, and will tell the player that the temple is closed. Otherwise, if the player instead states that they are a mighty hero, he will become enraged and attack. He is level 84, and due to being a creature of pure fire, he can only be defeated with ice arrows that are collected in an earlier part of the temple. He uses fire-based magic attacks. If the player takes too long to kill him, he will simply disappear and the player will have to make him appear again. It is not possible to kill Lesarkus with melee.

Trivia

 * If a player tried to open the door again before defeating the warrior, another copy of the Fire Warrior would spawn. It was possible to perform this glitch repeatedly, and the copies will remain in the room even after the player logs out. Despite that, only one had to be killed in order to continue the quest. This was fixed in in early 2010.
 * He used to be known as Lesarkus the Fire Warrior but Jagex changed his name with a hidden update.
 * He bears the same skeleton head symbol on his chest as the Mahjarrat Hazeel.
 * He appears to be wearing a bronze chainbody and bronze platelegs.
 * He appears to have the same symbol that Vannaka has on his chest.
