Getting there

DetailValue
Requirements85 Slayer and an abyssal demon task (or an Abyssal Sire boss task from Duradel)
TeleportTeleport menu > Bosses > Abyssal Sire (35,000 coins). You land beside the Font of Consumption
LeavingThe Appendage north of the Font goes to Lumbridge
ChambersFour, each with its own Sire and one fighter at a time. If they stop attacking for about 20 seconds, someone else can take over

Mechanics

Phase 1 (the throne). Attack the Sire to wake it. Its six tentacles guard the four respiratory systems in the corners, which take only 0 to 3 damage while the tentacles are awake. Disorient the Sire to put them to sleep: deal it 75 damage with ranged or magic, or cast a Shadow spell (Rush 25%, Burst 50%, Blitz 75%, Barrage always). The stun lasts 30 seconds; the tentacles wake after 27. Kill the systems with ranged, magic or a halberd.

Damage to the Sire in phase 1 only counts toward disorienting it. It heals to full when the last respiratory system dies.

Phase 2 (melee). It hits up to 66. Protect from Melee cuts its swipe and tendril flick to 6 and its double flick to 26. Stay next to it: from more than 2 tiles away it drags you in and blasts the spot (up to 60). Step off the purple miasma pools.

Phase 3 (the centre). Below 50% it walks to the middle, summons spawns, wakes its tentacles again and uses only miasma pools. Below 35% it pulls you next to it and explodes two ticks later for up to 96: run at least two tiles away. Spawns that live 12 seconds become scions (up to 16 ranged, 10 melee). All minions die with it.
