Armoured Phantoms
Introduction
Armoured phantoms are the highest tiered Zemouregal's undead, requiring 113

and moss golems
, they offer competitive XP rates and make for a fairly speedy task.
They can be killed for following tasks:
• Armoured phantoms, assigned by The Raptor and Laniakea
• Zemouregal's undead, assigned by The Raptor
• Undead cluster, assigned by The Raptor and Laniakea

AFK Methods
⬥ AFK relies on only allowing one phantom to attack you at once by either:
• Standing in a corner, causing phantoms to pile up to be hit with AoE damage such as

• Using a platypus or tooth creature pet to block phantoms. A cannon
with the Restocking Cannon upgrade is not necessary for this, but increases kph. An aggression potion
can be used instead, but yields less kph.
Positioning
⬥ Place the
or
(or
for west spot) and:
• Melee: Position yourself in the west as shown below, with the blocking pet to your south (player position in red):
• Else: Position yourself in the north-eastern corner (shown as Other in purple):

. Stand in the middle of your cannon as shown below so that the cannon can hit any phantom which approaches you.
• You are positioned nearer to the back of the room to avoid risen ghost aggression.
