QUEST 145 · MEMBERS

Sins of the Father

A darkness has fallen over Morytania. The Myreque freedom fighters have achieved their first major victory over the vampyres with the death of Ranis Drakan. However, their newly found hope is unlikely to last. After many years of absence, Lord Lowerniel Drakan, the vampyre overlord of Morytania, has finally emerged from his castle. He has but one goal. To avenge his brother and eradicate the Myreque once and for all.

  7. My pets will feast on your corpse! - Acidic Bloodveld is spawned and will explode on the player for high damage. Kill with ranged.

  8. Blood will be my strength! - A blood orb spawns that periodically heals Vanstrom. Walking on top of it (3x3 area) damages the player, but Vanstrom can be lured on top to damage him.

  9. Stare into darkness! - Heavy damage is taken if the player is facing Vanstrom. The attack gives very little warning and is near impossible to avoid on reaction. It is recommended that the player keep a count of how many attacks Vanstrom has done and turn around preemptively.

  10. After you deplete his hitpoints, he will heal himself 200 hitpoints and stop using his special attacks.

  11. Turn off protection prayers to save on prayer points as they no longer have any effect, but continue using Piety or other buffing prayers.

  12. Vanstrom summons lightning to strike tiles with a max hit of 46. Tiles that are about to be struck will have a dark circle on them and should be avoided.

  13. Consider turning off RuneLite's 117 HD plugin if enabled, as it makes it much harder to see where the lightning will strike.
