Fight overview

When approaching her, Cerberus will become aggressive. She may attack with magic, ranged and melee attacks, each with a max hit of 23. The magic attack appears as a grey ball, the ranged attack appears as a ball of spikes, and the melee attack is her biting. Interestingly, she may use the melee attack at range.

Cerberus has three special attacks that she may use under certain circumstances:

• She attacks in quick succession with magic followed by ranged and melee. She will do this at the start of every fight and approximately every 30 seconds afterwards.

• She spits three balls of fire — indicated by her growling — on the ground, one at the player and two in random spots around the room. Standing on will deal 15 damage continuously, within one space will deal 10. She will do this at random when below 200 health.

• She summons three souls — indicated by her howling — that come from the river behind her and attack the player with each combat style. They will be color coded (Blue = Mage, Red = Melee, Green = Range) to prevent them from damaging you time the prayer in order, west to east, with their styles. Each attack will drain 30 prayer (15 with spectral spirit shield equipped) if blocked or 30 hitpoints if not blocked. She may do this approximately every 30 seconds after she is below 400 health.

Fight Technique

The main technique will be to pray mage for the entire fight. When you see the ghosts come in (signified by Cerb saying “arrrooo”) you should switch to the pray for the first enemy. You should then switch when you see their attack animation start.

The second technique, for those with significantly more powerful gear, is to simply tank the hits and only pray mage.
