Cerberus/Strategies
< Cerberus
 |
Requirements
There are no requirements for Cerberus
Getting there
Utilizing the Portal nexus, players can select Cerberus from the available Boss options for 75,000 GP
Mechanics
Cerberus has three types of attacks: Ranged, Mage, and avoidable ground damage. When its health drops to approximately 50%, Cerberus summons three ghosts. These ghosts must be defeated using the combat style they are resistant to—Red for Melee, Green for Ranged, and Blue for Mage. Failing to pray correctly against Cerberus' attacks will result in a loss of prayer points.
- Spiky ball is Ranged
- Smooth ball is mage
- Shakes head lava pool is about to spawn under your feet
Recommended Talents
Magic is the recommended combat style to use against Cerberus.
Equipment
Slayer helmet(i) and other cosmetic variants
The Slayer helmet provides a 15% strength and 12% accuracy (all combat styles) increase when fighting monsters assigned as your Slayer task. While it offers no combat advantages against non-task creatures, it's the optimal choice during any Slayer assignment. Consider switching to alternative headgear when battling monsters outside your assigned task.
