= Preparing for the fight =

'''Xamphur''' is a relatively easy boss, but it’s debatable whether it’s worth attempting with low-level gear as it is much less efficient. That being said, with a blowpipe it is still relatively fast. 

Best in slot here is the scythe and your best melee gear.  

Alternatively, you can use a blowpipe and your best ranged gear (recommended for players without a scythe). A crossbow can also be used, but it is quite slow.  

If you still want to try with a crossbow, see the gear recommendations below.  

== How to get there ==
* Use the teleport tree at <code>::Home</code>.  
* Run through the corridor and enter the gate to reach Xamphur’s arena.  

= The Fight =

Upon entering the arena: 
* '''Pray Magic.'''  
* Dump a defence-lowering spec on Xamphur.  
* Keep attacking her until she dies.  

The circles on the floor will damage you if you walk on them, so avoid stepping on them.  

== Xamphur special attacks ==

'''She has two special attacks:'''

=== Hand attack ===
* Xamphur summons two hands (level 47) to attack you.  
* They have low hitpoints.  
* With a scythe, you can ignore them and focus on Xamphur.  
* Note: the hands will drain your prayer (12 prayer points over 18 seconds if their corruption hits).  

=== Ghostly hands ===
* Xamphur spawns ghostly hands that crush the tile you are standing on.  
* Move around the room to avoid damage.  
* You can Woox walk to keep attacking while dodging, or simply keep moving until the attack ends.    

== Gear recommendations ==

Inventory: super combat/bastion potion, restores and food and thralls, or veng if you do not have thralls.

* '''Melee (Best in slot):''' Scythe + BIS melee gear.  

Bandos → Vesta → Oathplate
