Editing Valkor (section)

== The fight ==
Valkor is a multi-phase boss. His phase is decided by how much health he has left, and each phase changes which combat styles can hurt him, so bring more than one style. A team of up to three can fight him together.

=== Before you start ===
* Valkor's health and defence '''scale with the number of players''' in the cave: 800 hitpoints per player, up to three players, and +25 defence for each player beyond the first. The scaling is locked in the moment he first takes damage, so make sure the whole team is inside before attacking.
* The '''Paralyze Monster''' prayer cannot be used anywhere in the arena. Valkor switches it off if you arrive with it active.
* Valkor '''never heals''' during a fight, so progress is never lost while someone remains in the cave.
* If the cave is left empty for around two minutes mid-fight, Valkor despawns and returns at full health. A quick trip out to restock is safe as long as you are back within that time.

=== Phase 1 ===
From full health down to 75%, Valkor behaves like a normal aggressive monster and attacks in melee. He is immune to magic, so use '''melee or ranged'''.

=== Phase 2 ===
At 75% health Valkor vanishes in a puff of smoke and reappears on a '''perch in the centre of the arena''' that cannot be reached on foot, taunting ''"HA! You can't get me now. Feel my wrath!"''. Melee is useless until he comes down, so switch to '''ranged or magic'''.

While perched he has two attacks:
* '''Magic blast''' – roughly every three seconds he casts at every player within 15 tiles, hitting for up to 7 each.
* '''Fire''' – patches of flame ignite in clusters around the arena and along the whole southern corridor leading in from the entrance. Standing in fire burns you for 5 damage about every two seconds, so step off it straight away.

At around 64% health he shouts ''"You think you can beat me? Burn!"'' and an '''extra ring of fire''' lights up around his perch, leaving even fewer safe tiles.

=== Phase 3 ===
At 50% health the fires go out and Valkor calls ''"My rangers will take care of you. Fire at will!"''. Eight '''[[Valkor ranger]]s''' appear in a ring around the perch. Valkor stays on his perch and is '''immune to all damage''' until every ranger is dead. He does not attack during this phase.

* The rangers never move. Each one shoots the nearest player within 10 tiles about every two seconds, for up to 5 damage a shot.
* '''Protect from Missiles blocks their arrows completely.'''
* A ranger that is attacked in melee stops shooting and fights back in melee instead.
* Each ranger rolls its own drop for whoever kills it, including dragon arrows and a chance at the dragon longbow.

=== Final phase ===
When the last ranger falls, Valkor shouts ''"I will destroy you myself!"'' and drops into the centre of the arena. He fights in melee again and is once more immune to magic, so finish him with '''melee or ranged'''.

=== Rewards ===
Every player who dealt enough of the damage receives their own drop – see [[#Drops|drops]] below.
