Maggot King
A solo prayer-switching boss in a lair behind the Darkwood trees. Spit attacks, a screech that punishes overhead prayer, and melee slams.
Teleport to the lair entrance, then use Enter on the Darkwood trees. ::maggotking does the same as the teleport. Leaving, dying, teleporting or logging out closes your instance.
How the fight works
| Attack | Prayer | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Ranged spit (green) | Protect from Missiles | Blocked fully. Otherwise up to 46 and poison. |
| Magic spit (yellow) | Protect from Magic | Blocked fully. Otherwise up to 46. |
| Melee slam | Protect from Melee | Hits the 3 columns in front of its head: up to 55, or 35 with prayer. Stand outside the columns to dodge it. |
| Screech | None! | Each tick you keep an overhead protection prayer on, you take 15-25, at most 3 times. |
It throws 4 to 8 of one spit type, then screeches, then 4 to 8 of the other. From 980 HP a melee set follows some screeches, and below 305 HP it only slams. Spits leave bile on the floor: step out of it.
