Theatre of Blood

Verzik Vitur is the raid boss of Theatre of Blood, fought through three forms: hide behind the pillars, kill the crabs, and never take the green ball twice. Fight her solo or in a group.

The raid boss of Theatre of Blood is Verzik Vitur, fought through three forms in one chamber. Enter through the raid portal in Edgeville with 100 combat. You can fight her solo or alongside anyone else in the chamber. See Raids for how the reward chest works.

Verzik's Three Forms

FormHitpoints (solo)Attacks
1: on her throne750Ranged bolts up to 30
21,000Magic up to 32; melee up to 35 if you're next to her
31,250Magic up to 42; melee up to 45 if you're next to her

Form 1: four pillars stand between you and the throne. Keep a pillar between you and Verzik and her bolts hit the pillar instead of you. Pillars can be destroyed, and they only come back when a new fight starts.

Forms 2 and 3: stay out of melee range and pray Protect from Magic. Nylocas crabs keep appearing and heal Verzik while they live, so kill them. For 3 seconds after a crab appears, your hits heal Verzik instead of hurting her, so hold your attacks.

Specials

In forms 2 and 3, Verzik uses a special about every 8 seconds, always in this order:

SpecialWhat to do
CrabsOne Nylocas per player: kill them
WebFreezes a random player for 3 seconds
PoolsStep off the marked tile before it lands (up to 26)
Green ballHits the 3×3 around a player (up to 58); never take two in a row

Below 20% health in form 3, tornadoes hit every player for half their current Hitpoints every 5 seconds, and Verzik heals from the damage. You can't dodge them, so finish her fast.
