Talk:Ankou

Are we sure Ankous drop the dragon spear/dragon shield half?

Ive been hunting then constantly for weeks and have had no drops.

Death rune members only?
In the article it says that they only drop death runes for members. Death runes are not members only, is it true that they will only drop it for members? 23:16, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Its true that death runes are not members only item but the ankou only drop death runes if you are in a member's world (server) Fatman4ever 12:52, 12 November 2008 (UTC) Be careful though Ankous can fly,you better have high range fior these bABIES.

Ranging lv 82 Ankous
Every location I tried ended up with something, be it Skeleton or Ankou, walking around and attacking me while I was ranging an Ankou. An image of the map showing where the spot is would be helpful. Dsctatom 12:00, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

In the stronghold of security, the safe spots to range ankou is not perfectly safe; its only considered a safe spot because there is an obstable preventing an ankou from the front of you getting close enough. However, while you are ranging one ankou and the other monsters did not developed "tolerance" yet because you have been there for only a short amount of time, the other ankou will still attack you if they happen to find a way to you.

Safest spot is in the sw corner of the middle-south room (the one marked AS on the map). The safe spot is just inside the sw door, on the west hand side. Armcie 23:08, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

what do level do you consider to be a higher level player
im wondering if killing them with attack at level 57 is safe
 * I'd advise 70+ attack for fighting these guys. A person with 90+ combat is usually considered a higher level player. --D E E J E
 * Is lvl 60 combat with strength potion and strength amulet with full rune good for attacking these Ankous. -- 11:11, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Promised proof
My proof, as promised.

 * I think you might wanna post it here instead, so the person knows. 15:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmm.....If I could kill elvarg,could I kill one of these? -- 14:07, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

You can easily kill them; they are much easier then Elvarg. I bet you can kill them without food.

I can easily kill the level 75 Ankous with 45 attack, strength and defence. Just remember to bring some food.

-_-
Aaaaaaaaaand when did they start hitting 12s.

max hit 12
Take a look at these links:. Ankous max hit is 12!

A Bony ghost?
I was at the Wilderness Volcano slaying Greater Demons, and examined an Ankou, and noticed it said "Bony" instead of "Boney"

Since they exist outside the Stronghold...
Do the Ankous in the Volcano drop the Skull Halves? It never says so in the article.--Momo Mooman 18:10, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think so. 20:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Drop tables (charms) - different levels
For monsters like ankou, is it assumed that the different levels have the same drop percentages (e.g. charms)? I recorded some data from level 75s, and some data that was combined 75s & 82s, but have placed it all in one table for now. (Note: Just 111 kills recorded - while it seems unlikely that blues are more common than greens or crimson, I happened to get 2, 1 & 1, so that's what is in there for now.)

Weakness
I highly doubt that Ankou are "very weak to Stab attacks"; in fact, I believe that their weakness is Crush. Using the Smash option on a Saradomin Sword hits more often than the Slash option, despite the 22 difference in their Accuracies. 20:07, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Drops left skull and uncut sapphire at the same time?
I've had this happen to me 3 times before. An ankou dropped both a left skull half and an uncut sapphire in a single drop (along with bones, of course). I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else before, and if the left skull half could be accompanied by anything, not just an uncut sapphire. 06:07, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Ahh vandalism!
100% blue charms? 1000 dropped at a time? ... Look at the charm drop table... 15:55, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Aggresive
The Level 75 Ankou stops being aggresive when you turn level 56 combat, I just don't know where to put that in the article.

Sorry, they've just turned aggresive again. I wonder how that could have happened.
 * It's tolerance, depending on the creature, if you are in their general area for 10-15 minutes they will stop attacking, if you leave and come back (including random events), they will be aggressive again. I'm level 138 and ankous are still aggressive towards me.   20:35, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
