Tekton of Runescape

Tekton has high Defence but only uses Melee attacks. His attacks can deal heavy damage, though there is one disadvantage for him; his attacks have a small delay before they hit, meaning that a player can run corners to avoid getting hit by most of his standard attacks. However, his attacks can cleave clockwise. Tekton always starts with an orange aura around him, which has lower Defence than his red aura.


After several attacks, or if his attacks are interrupted (no one in range), he will return to the anvil. Players under him will take rapid stomp damage. He can still be attacked as he makes his way back to the anvil.


When Tekton goes back to the anvil, he will repair himself, recovering a percentage of his hitpoints. While he is at the anvil, he will send two sparks flying for each player in the chamber, which have a 3x3 AoE and will deal moderate damage to anyone hit by them. They can be avoided by simply running two spaces away from your current spot when the sparks are flying. After five sets of sparks, he will resume combat, this time in an "enraged" stance (Runescape gold red aura), dealing significantly more damage.


For solo players, using the corner method is recommended to fight Tekton (if using this method, make sure that Tekton does not put himself in a position where one corner is cut off). Experienced players can save plenty of run energy and/or stamina potions with a hit and run method. This method does require much more patience, as mistiming your runs will result in Tekton returning to the anvil.


Tekton should only be fought if dragon warhammers and elder mauls are being used, as his high Defence and bonuses against non-crush attacks can make him tedious to kill.


Tekton drops five Stinkhorn mushrooms, two Overload (+) along with a single Revitalisation (+) and Prayer enhance (+) upon death. There is a rare chance for an onyx to be dropped.

In the chamber will be Vespula herself, four lux grubs and an abyssal portal. The portal must be destroyed to dispel Vespula and her offspring.


Once someone enters the chamber, septic tendrils will appear and damage players who pass them. Vespula herself is extremely poisonous (poison starting at 20 damage), so a form of poison protection is required when fighting her.


Vespula will sting the lux grubs from time to time, causing their health to degrade. If fully degraded, it will turn into a Vespine soldier, fully healing both Vespula and the portal. Therefore, it is important to prevent the lux grubs from transforming into Vespine soldiers. In the other end of the chamber are several Medivaemia blossom plants which can be picked. The blossoms are then given to the grubs to restore their health.


In a group, one member should focus on collecting the blossoms(OSRS gold produced it too) and giving it to the grubs to prevent them from turning into soldiers. The rest of the team should focus on damaging Vespula.


When Vespula reaches 20% of her hitpoints, she will stop flying and drop to the floor. Attacks should be directed at the abyssal portal, as Vespula cannot be harmed while on the ground. Players can have roughly 2-4 attacks on the portal before Vespula starts flying again. If the portal is attacked while Vespula is flying, she will become enraged and start stinging anyone in melee range for massive damage. Players beneath her will take rapid stomp damage which deals damage based on the player's remaining health.


For solo players, use your crossbow (or twisted bow if you have one) and attack the portal once, before moving out of melee range to avoid her stinger. It is highly recommended to bring a prayer enhance potion so Redemption can be used effectively to heal yourself from the low damage of her stomp attack. Perfectly executing this method will result in killing Vespula easily without having any lux grubs hatching.


Given the high demand for attention when fighting Vespula, most teams often prefer a raid that does not have her, as a single mistake can often lead to the portal being fully restored, prolonging the fight.
