Steel titan

Steel titans are level 99 Summoning familiars, introduced with the "Summoning 2" update on the 31 March 2008. It is currently the most powerful familiar and, with 7540 Life points, it has the eighth highest amount of life points of any creature in RuneScape after Nex (30,000), the Corporeal Beast (20,000), Hati wolf (20,000), Nomad (12,500), and the Avatar of Creation, and Destruction, and the Decaying Avatar (10,000), with all of them having a combat level of higher than 500. The Steel Titan has 4 methods of attacking: magic, ranged, melee and special attack (scroll). Unless the special attack is repeatedly used by the summoner, the Steel Titan will only focus on ranged and melee attacks. When the Steel Titan performs a ranged attack, it will put its left hand by its mouth and blow the ranged attack at the player/monster it is attacking. For the melee attack, it will put its hands together and pound on the ground; this attack can also hit diagonally. Periodically, the Steel Titan will perform a magic attack, in which it will hit both its hands together in front of itself and a magic attack will fly forth. If you are being attacked by multiple monsters/players, the magic attack may not always go to the monster/player that you are fighting, but rather a random one that is attacking you. Unlike the melee and ranged attack, the magic attack will not do damage right away but will wait one cycle of attacking, in respect to the steel titan, to do the damage. If the Steel Titan performs a melee or ranged attack after the magic attack, it will appear that it is hitting twice at once because of the delayed magic attack. == Steel titan pouch == Steel titan pouch is made by using a Summoning pouch on a Summoning obelisk with 178 spirit shards, a Crimson charm and a steel platebody in the inventory. Making the pouch earns 435.2 experience points. Using the pouch to summon a Steel titan gains 4.9 experience points, and costs 10 Summoning points. == Steel of legends scroll == Steel of legends scroll enables the use of the Steel of Legends special move for a Steel titan. Using the pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates 10 scrolls. === Steel of Legends === Steel of Legends is the special move for the steel titan, which inflicts four ranged OR melee attacks (depending on distance from target) instead of one in the next attack. This attack may be used up to five times in a row with the required number of scrolls. Note that either with a ranged or melee attack, the titan will give the summoner ranged experience. == Trivia == *Assuming all four hit splats do hit, the unweighted chance of hitting 976 damage (four 244s) is 1 in 3,486,784,401. In effect, because the four splats don't always hit, this maximum damage amount is even less likely to occur than 1 in 3,486,784,401. However, in-game mechanics (such as variable constants done by substitution of variables for a group of possible values) may make this probability higher, bringing it to about 1/500~1000 instead. *When the larger health bar came out the Steel Titan's health bar didn't change. This may be because of it being a summoning familiar and not an actual monster. *In one of the conversations, the Player states that he/she doesn't want to die and is quite happy picking Flax and turning unstrung bows to gold, which is a reference to new players that high alchemize unstrung bows. *There is currently a bug with the Steel Titan charging its attacks. If ordered to 'Attack' a player, the Steel Titan will walk up to them and use a single melee strike even if a scroll has been casted or the target is far away. The Attack order works correctly against monsters and other Summoning familiars, though. *Although it is the strongest familiar, players often prefer lower titans for their special moves used in GWD (God Wars Dungeon). *Strangely enough there are Iron Titans and Steel Titans but no Bronze Titans. == References == * "Summoning - Familiars", RuneScape Knowledge Base * "Summoning - Pouches", RuneScape Knowledge Base * "Summoning - Scrolls", RuneScape Knowledge Base *Grand Exchange Database - Current price - Steel titan pouch *Grand Exchange Database - Current price - Steel of legends scroll
