Auto Attacks (Magic example / Ranged example)
Mechanic: Pthentraken uses Magic and Ranged auto attacks.
Solution:
⬥ If lower Defence 
pray against Magic 
/ 
• Pray 
once you are comfortable surviving the mechanics
Converging Lightning (Example)
Mechanic: Pthentraken summons 3-5 lightning beams around the arena. These beams move towards Pthentraken and deal heavy Magic damage if you stand in them (up to 5000-5500 damage every 2 ticks).
Solution:
⬥ Either:
• Wear Insulated boots 
to reduce damage taken
• Avoid standing in the lightning beams as they move towards Pthentraken
Storm Column / Overcharged (Example)
Mechanic: An overhead bar appears above the player. When the bar empties, a 3x3 Storm Column appears on the player's tile, dealing rapidly increasing typeless damage, up to 3600 damage every 2 ticks. It also gives the Overcharged buff.
While Overcharged is active, your hits on Pthentraken deal an additional Magic hit for 5% of the original damage, and Surge 
has a 1-tick cooldown.
Solution:
⬥ Move away from the Storm Column as soon as it appears, like in the example video
• Moving too early may make the Storm Column appear at your new location
