TokTz-Ket-Dill (monster)

The TokTz-Ket-Dill (roughly translated as Obsidian Guard) is a creature encountered in the TokTz-Ket-Dill quest, and is the boss monster. This creature is unique in that its shell must be broken using a Rune pickaxe's accurate attack; after its armour is sufficiently damaged it can be damaged by melee weapons that use the Crush style, such as a mace or a spear.

Habitat

 * In the tunnels deep within the TzHaar city.

Combat Strategy

 * TokTz-Ket-Dill has very thick armour that can only be broken with a rune pickaxe.
 * Players must keep hitting with a rune pickaxe until its armour breaks. (Note: Players will hit 0 while this is happening, but they will get a message saying its armour is breaking.)
 * When TokTz-Ket-Dill's armour shell is broken, players can use any melee weapon with crush attack style. (Note: Players cannot damage TokTz-Ket-Dill if they use the wrong style or weapon.)
 * The creature uses ranged and melee attacks, and can hit over 20 with ranged.
 * You MUST break its shell and kill it in one trip - you cannot leave after breaking its shell
 * DO NOT use prayer when the shell is still intact. If you do, you will be hit regular 15s. Once you have broken its shell, it is suggested you turn on Protect from Missiles.

Tips

 * A Dragon battleaxe or a Barrelchest Anchor both work very well.
 * A Summoning familiar will be able to damage the TokTz-Ket-Dill even when its armour is still intact.
 * A summoning familiar such as a Steel Minotaur is helpful with diverting attacks and dealing out extra damage.
 * Players can still use a Rune pickaxe to kill it without switching to a different weapon.
 * A Strength and Defence level above 70 would be a great advantage to kill it quicker.
 * Using prayer to boost your attack and strength will also help once the shell is off.

Messages

 * Your Rune pickaxe slowly cracks its way through the TokTz-Ket-Dill's armour.
 * The TokTz-Ket-Dill slams its tail against the ground.
 * Your pickaxe finally breaks the TokTz-Ket-Dill's thick armour!

Music

 * Arma Gonna Get You

Trivia

 * The fight between the player and TokTz-Ket-Dill is similar to the boss battles of The Helmaroc King and Helmasaur King from the Zelda Series, you could not harm them until you destroyed their mask/armour and then you could attack with the skullhammer/bombs or sword respectively.
