Dagannoth mother (Horror from the Deep)



The Dagannoth mother is fought at the end of the quest Horror from the Deep. She constantly cycles through different colours to blatantly show her weaknesses. She can also be found raising her young.

While fighting the Dagannoth Mother, it is not advised to hide behind the nearby stalagmites because the Dagannoth Mother will disappear if she cannot engage you in combat (you will then have to start the entire fight over again). Protect from Missiles is advised as her Ranged attack is highly accurate. She can hit up to 160 LP with Melee, and can hit double 120s with Ranged. Pures are advised to bring a Ring of recoil and turn off auto-retaliate if not using melee.

Once she is defeated, you will obtain a rusty casket. Select the same option on the coffin twice (Saradomin, Guthix, Zamorak) in order to be rewarded with the corresponding god book.

Habitat

 * Lighthouse dungeon basement

Trivia

 * Her ability to change colour to show her weakness may have been inspired by the earlier stage of the final boss in Metroid Prime (The Metroid Prime Exoskeleton, or Spider), which also changes its colour to represent its weakness.
