This can be temporarily halted by standing on top of the exhumed remains. * **Poison (Phase 2):** Xarpus starts attacking the players after enough time has passed from phase 1 and starts off with the amount of health he had starting from phase 1. He will launch poison at players which lightly damages anyone in a 3x3 grid centred around the player Xarpus was focusing. This poison then occupies that tile for the rest of the fight and deals 6-8 damage each tick a player stands on or crosses over it. Skipping over a poisoned tile will deal a delayed hit. * **Counter (Phase 3):** Xarpus screeches once lowered below 33% of his health after healing and stops launching poison around the arena, instead staring intently at one quadrant at a time. If a player attacks him from the area Xarpus is looking at, he will retaliate with a poison attack that deals 50-80 damage per hit. **Location** Xarpus is located in the fifth room of the [[guides:raids:theatre_of_blood|Theatre of Blood]]. **Gear Setup** Your gear and inventory will depend on the exact setup that you take into the [[guides:raids:theatre_of_blood|Theatre of Blood]]. Generally, high damaging Melee or Ranged Gear is required. **Max Melee** {{wst>equipment |head={{:items:icons:43572.png?nolink|Torva Full Helm}} |cape={{:items:icons:42166.png?nolink|Completionist Cape (chaos)}} |neck={{:items:icons:19553.png?nolink|Amulet of Torture}} |weapon={{:items:icons:22486.png?nolink|Scythe of Vitur}} |torso={{:items:icons:40794.png?nolink|Torva Platebody}} |legs={{:items:icons:40814.png?nolink|Torva Platelegs}} |gloves={{:items:icons:22981.png?nolink|Ferocious Gloves}} |boots={{:items:icons:42198.png?nolink|Steadfast Boots}} |ring={{:items:icons:773.png?nolink|'perfect ring'}} }} **Med-Level Melee** {{wst>equipment |head={{:items:icons:12931.png?nolink|Serpentine Helmet}} |cape={{:items:icons:13342.png?nolink|Max Cape}} |neck={{:items:icons:10588.png?nolink|Salve Amulet (e)}} |weapon={{:items:icons:41546.png?nolink|Tentacle of Chaos}} |torso={{:items:icons:11832.png?nolink|Bandos Chestplate}} |shield={{:items:icons:22322.png?nolink|Avernic Defender}} |legs={{:items:icons:11834.png?nolink|Bandos Tassets}} |gloves={{:items:icons:42686.png?nolink|Brawling Gloves (melee)}} |boots={{:items:icons:13239.png?nolink|Primordial Boots}} |ring={{:items:icons:11773.png?nolink|Berserker Ring (i)}} }} **Welfare Melee** {{wst>equipment |head={{:items:icons:10828.png?nolink|Helm of Neitiznot}} |cape={{:items:icons:6570.png?nolink|Fire Cape}} |neck={{:items:icons:6585.png?nolink|Amulet of Fury}} |weapon={{:items:icons:40628.png?nolink|Chaotic Rapier}} |torso={{:items:icons:10551.png?nolink|Fighter Torso}} |shield={{:items:icons:12954.png?nolink|Dragon Defender}} |legs={{:items:icons:4751.png?nolink|Torags Platelegs}} |gloves={{:items:icons:7462.png?nolink|Barrows Gloves}} |boots={{:items:icons:11840.png?nolink|Dragon Boots}} |ring={{:items:icons:6737.png?nolink|Berserker Ring}} }} **Max Ranged** {{wst>equipment |head={{:items:icons:40754.png?nolink|Pernix Cowl}} |cape={{:items:icons:42166.png?nolink|Completionist Cape (chaos)}} |neck={{:items:icons:42930.png?nolink|Amulet of Ranging}} |ammo={{items:icons:11212.png?nolink|Dragon Arrow}}//500// |weapon={{items:icons:20997.png?nolink|Twisted Bow}} |torso={{items:icons:40714.png?nolink|Pernix Body}} |legs={{items:icons:40734.png?nolink|Pernix Chaps}} |gloves={{items:icons:7462.png?nolink|Barrows Gloves}} |boots={{items:icons:13237.png?nolink|Pegasian Boots}} |ring={{:items:icons:773.png?nolink|'perfect ring'}} }} **Med-Level Ranged** {{wst>equipment |head={{:items:icons:40754.png?nolink|Pernix Cowl}} |cape={{:items:icons:13280.png?nolink|Max Cape}} |neck={{:items:icons:10588.png?nolink|Salve Amulet (e)}} |ammo={{items:icons:9242.png?nolink|Ruby Bolts (e)}}//500// |weapon={{items:icons:11785.png?nolink|Armadyl Crossbow}} |torso={{items:icons:40714.png?nolink|Pernix Body}} |shield={{items:icons:12817.png?nolink|Elysian Spirit Shield}} |legs={{items:icons:40734.png?nolink|Pernix Chaps}} |gloves={{items:icons:7462.png?nolink|Barrows Gloves}} |boots={{items:icons:42200.png?nolink|Glaiven Boots}} |ring={{:items:icons:42964.png?nolink|Archers' ring (i)}} }} **Welfare Ranged** {{wst>equipment |head={{items:icons:11826.png?nolink|Armadyl Helmet}} |cape={{items:icons:13342.png?nolink|Max Cape}} |neck={{items:icons:42930.png?nolink|Amulet of Ranging}} |ammo={{items:icons:9244.png?nolink|Dragonstone Bolts (e)}}//500// |weapon={{items:icons:40540.png?nolink|Chaotic Crossbow}} |torso={{items:icons:11828.png?nolink|Armadyl Chestplate}} |shield={{items:icons:12817.png?nolink|Elysian Spirit Shield}} |legs={{items:icons:11830.png?nolink|Armadyl Chainskirt}} |gloves={{items:icons:7462.png?nolink|Barrows Gloves}} |boots={{items:icons:2577.png?nolink|Ranger Boots}} |ring={{items:icons:6733.png?nolink|Archers Ring}} }} {{wst>pkhonor_raids}}
