= Skotizo Guide =

Skotizo is a demi-boss located in the Catacombs of Kourend, offering a challenging solo PvM experience with decent rewards. This guide covers how to access Skotizo, recommended gear, and fight mechanics.

== How to Get There ==

# Use the teleport tree at <code>::home</code>.
# Select the '''Catacombs''' teleport.
# You will arrive at the altar. Use a '''Dark Totem''' on the altar to begin the fight.

'''Note:''' You can obtain Dark Totem pieces by killing monsters within the Catacombs.

== Gear Recommendations ==

'''Best in Slot:'''
* Scythe of Vitur – Provides the highest DPS for melee combat. You will want to bring an emberlight in case 2/3+ altars are activated as the emberlight and arclight can 1 hit altars.

'''Budget Setup:'''
* Arclight or Emberlight – Highly effective against Skotizo due to its demon classification.
* Wear melee gear with good Strength and Prayer bonuses. You can use void if you want to downgrade, however this will lead to slower kill times.

== The Fight ==

* When you are outside melee distance, Skotizo exclusively uses magic attacks.
* If in melee range, use the following prayer strategy:
** Pray '''Melee''' by default.
** When you see a magic attack animation, quickly switch to '''Protect from Magic'''. 
* Skotizo periodically spawns minions – you can ignore them, as they deal very little damage.

=== Altars === 

* There are 4 dark altars positioned North, East, South, and West. When activated, they reduce your damage output.
** You can kill them everytime they become activate, but it's only really needed to kill these altars if 2+ or more are active.
** You can instantly destroy an altar by hitting it once with an [[Arclight]] or [[Emberlight]].

== Slayer Notes ==

* Skotizo counts as a '''Black Demon''' for Slayer tasks.
