Rasial, the First Necromancer

​

Introduction

In order to fight Rasial you must complete the Alpha vs Omega quest. Rasial deals Necromancy and typeless damage, and can only be killed using Necromancy.

​

Positioning

⬥ The tile shown above serves as a safespot for the ghost wall mechanic.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• This tile is ideal as it keeps you 5 tiles away for quicker

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• For the soul obelisks, you may run 4 tiles west (toward obelisk), and 2-4 east.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Doing this allows to kill one of the soul obelisks.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ This is only recommended if you have the ruthless perk.

Mechanics

Dive

⬥ Before the last phase, Rasial uses to avoid the player if the player stands within a 2 square radius (scythe range) of him.     • It is not feasible to use against him.     • Getting this mechanic may cancel bounces. ​

Conjure familiars

⬥ Rasial can conjure skeletal warriors and putrid zombies to attack the player.     • Unlike the player, he can conjure multiple of each.     • It's recommended to ignore them throughout the fight. ​

Soul stacks

⬥ Rasial can gain and use like the player, and holds up to 5 stacks, shown by green orbs under his health bar.     • At 5 stacks, he shouts 'This is true power!' and uses . Flick (+ if needed) to avoid taking heavy damage.     • The rotations outlined below should skip this mechanic consistently. ​

Soul obelisk

⬥ At 700k HP, Rasial summons 2 soul obelisks with 12,000 HP each.     • They each have a bar which fills repeatedly. Upon filling, Rasial will get a stack.     • It's recommended to ignore this mechanic and focus on DPSing the boss. ​

Spirit wall

⬥ Rasial summons a wall of 7 ghosts behind the player which moves forward, dealing heavy typeless damage upon contact.     • If using movement abilities to avoid this stay within 5 tiles of Rasial for ​    • Standing next to the barrier will avoid ghosts entirely. ​

Spectral scythe

⬥ Rasial pulls the player to him and uses , shouting 'I will reap your soul!' ​

Phase 4

⬥ At 200K HP, Rasial jumps to the upper deck of the citadel and briefly becomes immune, remaining stationary and stopping all mechanics mentioned above.     • Necrotic explosions will occur, following the player. If hit, players take heavy Necromancy damage. Rasial's auto attacks are also always empowered, dealing double damage and disabling protection prayers

Optimisation Notes

⬥ Rasial can be lured near to one of the soul obelisks, allowing to bounce to it and kill it, granting an additional ruthless stack and slowing his soul buildup. ⬥ boost is applied on cast and on hit, swapping between these amulets can boost your damage for major hits     • Swapping to before the pre-build allows conjures to spawn with higher ability damage.
