If any player is within its line of sight, the Bloat's flies will attack them, causing players to take rapid hits of 10-20 every tick until they are out of the Bloat's line of sight. This will spread to other players in the raid also and can therefore kill a party very quickly. After seven or fourteen cycles of mutilated flesh falling from the ceiling, it will stop moving, allowing players to attack it. After a few seconds, it will stomp the surrounding area, dealing large amounts of damage. If a player is hit by a mutilated flesh, it will deal 30-50 damage and stun them temporarily. Falling flesh can be evaded beforehand by looking for their shadow on the floor. The bloat will also change direction randomly throughout the fight. Along with this, it will also change the speed at which it is walking. It has 3 different speeds of walking. **Location** The Pestilent Bloat is located within the second 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]]. Best Melee Gear available should be used to fight the Pestilent Bloat. As it is weak to slash, the Scythe of Vitur and Custom whips will be the best option. A Salve Amulet (e) is highly recommended due to its increased damage and passive soulsplit effect. Players can also utilize the Armadyl Crossbow special attack with Max Ranged gear. **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)}} |ammo={{items:icons:21944.png?nolink|Ruby Dragon Bolts (e)}}//500// |neck={{:items:icons:42930.png?nolink|Amulet of Ranging}} |weapon={{items:icons:11785.png?nolink|Armadyl Crossbow}} |torso={{items:icons:40714.png?nolink|Pernix Body}} |shield={{items:icons:21000.png?nolink|Twisted Buckler}} |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}}
