The Inadequacy

The Inadequacy is the third strongest quest monster in RuneScape defeatable by conventional methods, and is the tenth in total (ninth by conventional methods). It is fought in the quest Dream Mentor, for the purpose of curing Cyrisus' fear of combat. After it is killed, it transforms into a level 223 The Everlasting.

Note: Players CANNOT bank after defeating each monster in the quest; they must start over from the first monster if they leave the Dream World.

Fighting Strategy

 * The Inadequacy hits very often for damage in the 20s so good food such as Sharks or better are recommended.
 * When eating food with auto-retaliate off (which is recommended to avoid going for the level 78 A Doubt) immediately right click and attack The Inadequacy. Your player will not continue the fight after eating food unless told to do so which can cost the player precious hitpoints.
 * It uses melee, and if players stand out of its melee range, it will use a magic spell that looks like Shadow Rush.
 * Prayer cannot be used, so using Super set potions is highly recommended.
 * Before attempting to fight this monster, (Only works whilst at full health) drink a Saradomin brew to boost your maximum health temporarily, useful for the fight.
 * It is recommended to wear Rune armour, since it is easily replaceable and has quite effective defense stats.
 * Using a poisoned Dragon dagger or pair of Dragon claws can be effective if either special attack is used on The Inadequacy.
 * It also spawns many A Doubt (Level 78) that attack the player. They should be ignored by turning auto-reatliate off since they disappear if The Inadequacy is killed.
 * If players need to escape during battle, there is a lectern near the edge which will teleport them out of Cyrisus' dream and back to Lunar Isle.
 * If you have completed Desert Treasure and 68 magic, another method is to use Blood Burst. This method takes advantage of the hordes of A Doubt and reduces the amount of food needed.

Habitat
