Telos, the Warden/Strategies

Telos, the Warden is initially a level 2,000 combat monster who is fought in phases.

Gear
Any combat style can be used.

Enrage
The fight starts at 0% enrage, where Telos has 400,000 health (4 phases of 100,000 health each). After each kill, the enrage meter will increase by 5-25% (it is random), assuming you continue with your loot instead of taking it.

After 100% enrage, a fifth phase will appear.

The Fight
Telos attacks with melee and magic attacks. He is bindable and susceptible to poison, and so dreadnips are recommended for both of these purposes. Damage can also be reflected, and so it is strongly recommended to use Deflect Melee/Deflect Magic, depending on what Telos attacks you with.

There are three attacks he does in every phase:


 * Hold still, Invader - Telos will say this and stun the player, while dealing a high hitting melee-hit. After doing this, he will leap in the air and land where the player is, dealing 4,000+ typeless damage. His stun removes your protection prayer, which can be reactivated a few seconds later.
 * Freedom immediately Telos stuns you, and run away.
 * Return to the ground - Telos will snare you in vines that do over 200 typeless damage every tick while healing Telos for 1,500 health each tick. To escape the vines, you must deal 3,000+ damage (depending on enrage) to Telos.
 * Gielinor, give me strength! - Telos will uppercut the air and land towards the player, dealing a melee attack.
 * This attack can be blocked by Resonance (but not healed from).

In the first three phases, flames of a certain colour will appear. They each have different abilities that can benefit and harm you. Standing in a flame will block it from continuing in its direction.

There is also a special bar that increases as the fight goes. When Telos stands in any of the flames, the bar increases faster. When the bar is full, Telos will deal a 5,500+ typeless hit that can not be avoided.

Phase 1

 * Green flame - Standing in this beam will give you increased adrenaline gain, but you will lose prayer points faster.

For the first phase, Telos will only cycle through his three attacks. Take advantage of the flames by standing in them and attacking Telos.

After dealing 100,000 health, the next cycle will begin. Telos will slam the ground while you automatically move to the next phase.

Phase 2

 * Black flame - Standing in this flame will cause you to take less damage, but deal less damage.

It is strongly recommended to stand in this flame since Telos deals high hitting magic attacks. Similar to phase 1, continue to attack Telos as he cycles through his 3 attacks.

Phase 3

 * Red flame - Standing in this flame will cause you to take more damage, but deal more damage.

This is the phase where you must do as much damage as possible quickly, since this phase can deplete a lot of food. Throughout this phase, there is a new bar on the top of the interface that displays Telos' charge to a shockwave.

Yellow minions will spawn throughout the phase that have 1,000 health. While they are alive, Telos will charge up his shockwave. When a minion dies, the charge depletes a little. When the bar is complete, Telos will discharge a shockwave that deals 2,000 typeless damage. This can happen more than once until the bar leaves the red area, or when minions are gone.

Phase 4
In this area there are three fonts that are necessary to stand under. As soon as you enter the fourth phase, you will change to a colour (green, red, or blue) and start taking constant 250 damage. Stand under the closest orbital font to stop the bleed (most likely the green one). Telos will attack you with a big green anima attack that deals 2,500+ damage.

Telos will spawn three minions: A green one, a red one, and a black one. When these minions spawn, Telos will stop attacking you (similar to a Glacor and its Glacytes). Immediately kill the coloured-minion that is the same colour as the font you are standing on. This will unlock the font and will prevent you from being killed by Telos' insta-kill attack. After you block this bomb attack, move to the next font and repeat.

The minions do not deal that much damage, but the font will damage you 1,000+ typeless damage every second while Telos is charging his bomb attack.

Reward
After killing Telos at the final phase, loot at the beam in the middle. You can choose to take the loot, or continue killing him with a higher enrage.
