Unholy cursebearer

Habitat
Unholy Cursebearer is a boss in Daemonheim, requiring 29 Dungeoneering. He is usually easy to defeat.

While fighting this creature an undead rot starts to affect the player. These spells will eventually whittle away at your combat stats (excluding prayer). The Protect from Magic prayer doesn't help protect you from the undead rot effects. Curse prayers can be turned off by this boss.

There are two unholy fonts on the wall opposite the entrance which allow for restoring one's stats. When doing so, approximately 1/8 of the Unholy Cursebearer's lifepoints will be restored, so make sure you can hit over 1/8 of his max health in 1 duration, or else using the fonts is not effective.

This creature uses a melee attack and a magic attack which red energy appears on top of his staff and he fires a red ball at the player.

Damage can be completely avoided by using protect from melee and switching to protect from magic when you see him raising his staff and red energy appearing, however the effects of the undead rot can still damage you.

On rare occasions, this monster can be fought at level 28 Dungeoneering and level 29 Dungeoneering instead of 30 so be prepared to face it.
