* After the cutscene, kill [[Vanstrom Klause]] whilst using Protect from Magic and Piety. He uses three special attacks, doing so every 8-10 attacks, and never uses the same one twice in a row.
**"My pets will feast on your corpse!" - [[Acidic Bloodveld]] is spawned and will explode on the player for high damage. Use your adamant darts to kill it quickly.
**"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.
**"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. 
**After you deplete his health, he will heal himself 200 hitpoints and stop using his special attacks.
***Protection prayers are no longer effective; use Piety and Redemption.
***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.
*Watch the cutscene to complete the quest.
