Sagittare

A Sagittare is a boss in Daemonheim requiring 45 Dungeoneering. He uses range and magic, with teleporting ability, arrow rain, and multi shot. The Sagittare always has the protect from range prayer on.

He can deal high damage quickly due to the layout of his boss zone, which is in a spiral pattern. If the player uses Protect from Magic, the Sagittare will use a ranged attack, and conversely when the player uses Protect from Range the Sagittare will use a magic attack. He is also able to use a magic binding spell.

Attacks

 * Regular arrow attack.


 * Magic multi arrows - Targets all players.


 * Arrow-rain - Arrows fall from the sky as he teleports and deals damage to anyone standing within 2 squares of his initial location. This can be successfully avoided if you react quickly enough and move out of the targeted area.

The Sagittare usually teleports every time he loses approximately 1/6 of his health to the second ring, then the middle area, then back to the outside ring. Using the Protect from Magic prayer will stop his magic attack from freezing you.

Tactics
Since maging is not as effective against rangers, a tactic is to bulk up on melee defence and to use Protection from Magic or Deflect Magic. This prevents the Sagittare from freezing players and at least allows the player to walk/run to melee him.

When the Sagittare shouts "Back off!", do as he suggests. He then yells "Arrow rain!", and a group of arrows fall from the sky, striking the spot you stood at. This attack does not follow you, and can easily be avoided.

Another tactic to utilize is the strategic placement of gatestones to reach the Sagittare faster.

Trivia

 * Sagittare is a play on the word Sagittarius; the ninth astrological sign in the Zodiac. Sagittarius is a centaur, who, like Sagittare, prominently wields a bow. It may also be from the Latin word "sagitta", meaning "arrow".
 * Similar to a Rammernaut, "Sagittare" is not an individual name, but the position given to a member of the Sagittare Archers.
 * The Sagittare captain's last name is Bolton, according the "Ammunition requisition orders".
