Ice strykewyrm

Ice strykewyrms are slayer monsters that require a Slayer level of 93 to kill. They are located near the Muspah cave. They have the unique drop of a Staff of Light. To deal damage to one, a Fire cape must be worn.

These are an assignment from the slayer master Kuradal; however, they will not be assigned to players who do not own a fire cape. Ice strykewyrms can only be killed if assigned from a Slayer Master.

The strykewyrms are located in the cave of the quest The Tale of the Muspah, and you must also complete the quest in order to fight these creatures.

The quickest way to gain access to the cave of the Ice strykewyrm is the fairy ring code DKS, which sends you right beside the cave. If going into the caves for the first time, grab a spade and enter the dungeon where the player unfroze the muspah and block all water routes. Another cave will reveal itself right outside the muspah cave.

The Ice strykewyrm's strongest attack is when it burrows underground during battle and then pops back up, dealing 30 damage to anyone around it. This can be easily avoided by quickly moving out of the way. Standing beside or close to a stalagmite can actually negate the special attack from being used on you. It can also use the special attack if you walk on it and stay there for a couple of seconds so it is recommended not to do so.

Ice strykewyrm are weak to fire-based magic, and using Fire surge can allow you to hit extreme damages of above 60, and is apparently the most effective way to kill these creatures.

Also Ruby bolts (e) with a good Crossbow is a good option too as they have 300 hitpoints, allowing you to hit 60 with the special ability of Ruby bolts (e).
