'''Het's Seal''' is found in the centre of the Path of Het in the [[Tombs of Amascut]]. Initially protected, the seal must be weakened by redirecting the energy beams from the [[caster statue]] to the [[shielded statue]]. Once weakened, players can work towards destroying the seal with a pickaxe. Doing so will damage the seal (scaled by the pickaxe tier used and player's [[Mining]] level) and grant 35 Mining experience every 3 [[ticks]] (1.8 seconds), until it is destroyed or becomes protected again.

[[File:Path of Het - energy beam.png|thumb|left|300px|Het's Seal weakening after the energy beam is redirected to the shielded statue.]]

Once the energy beam shoots the [[shielded statue]], the seal is removed from the obelisk and players can proceed to mine the obelisk for 15 ticks, or 9 seconds, before the seal is protected once more. It is possible to hit the statue 8 times per cycle by standing 1 tile away from the seal and clicking to mine the seal one tick before the statue fires the beam.


==Dealing damage==

Damage dealt to the seal scales in stages with the player's [[Mining]] level as well as with the pickaxe used, but is not influenced by the mining speed. Both the [[Dragon pickaxe]] and [[Crystal pickaxe]] are equivalent. Only visible boosts will affect the damage dealt; invisible boosts like the [[Celestial ring]] will not have any effect.

For example, a player with a [[Mining]] level of 80 will have the same max hit as a player with a [[Mining]] level of 84 and a player with level 85 is equivalent to one with level 95, assuming both players are using equivalent tools.

Players with a [[Mining]] level of 84 or lower will always have a max hit of 12 if using a dragon pickaxe or equivalent which will always guarantee a two-cycle in a solo run if using the 8-hit method. However, players with the same [[Mining]] level while using a Rune pickaxe will only have a max hit of 10, which means very rarely even at 85 mining a player may be forced to three-cycle if they receive too many low-rolls.

Having a [[Mining]] level of at least 85 will increase the max hit to 19 if using a dragon pickaxe, and to 17 if using a rune pickaxe.

Having a [[Mining]] level of 100+ will increase the max hit to 21 if using a dragon pickaxe, and can one cycle the room without needing the extra hit from the 8-hit technique, which allows for faster completions.


The following table shows the damage dealt to Het's Seal using different pickaxes at different [[Mining]] levels: {{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/1639624294710882305|date=25 March 2023|archiveurl=https://archive.ph/zxqEP|archivedate=25 March 2023|quote=The min damage is 8, 15 or 17 depending on your stat being <85, <100 or 100+.
Add 2 for a dragon pick or better, subtract 3 for a pick below rune.
Add 0, 1 or 2 randomly, with equal chances.}}

==HP scaling in different team sizes==

Note that raid level or selected invocations have no effect on the [[HP]] of Het's Seal. Its HP scales differently to other NPCs found within the raid. Because of this, larger groups will find that it is a lot easier to 1-cycle Het's Seal than a solo player.
