The Arzinian Being of Bordanzan is a powerful demonic spirit from a realm known as Bordanzan that players encounter during the Between a Rock... quest. Its avatar can only be harmed if the player has at least six gold ore in their inventory. With six gold ores, its combat level will be 125, and can be lowered as far as level 75 with 15 pieces of gold ore. If the player has fewer than six ores at any time, its avatar will appear blue (with no combat level) and instantly regenerate all its hitpoints every time the player attacks it.
When speaking to him in the centre of the mine, Arzinian Being will choose the combat style the player is weakest against and summon an avatar of that style; if the player uses melee, the avatar will use magic attacks once it manifests. However, this is not guaranteed as there is an element of randomness programmed into the encounter.[1] This is simple to overcome by using the appropriate Protection Prayer or by bringing another set of armour best suited to the avatar's attacks.
The name of the avatar it summons indicates its combat style:
History
According to the Dwarven lore book, the Arzinian Being once terrorized the mines near Keldagrim. The Elders of Keldagrim decided to harness the power of gold ore to fight the Arzinian Being and drive it out of the mines. After three days and three nights, the Arzinian Being was finally cornered inside a small tunnel, and with the power of the gold ore, the dwarves attempted to banish the demon back to Bordanzan.
The combined power of so much gold overpowered the Arzinian Being, causing both it to collapse into itself and the tunnel to collapse on the Elders. It then "tapped into its Bordanzian essence", and caused all the nearby stone and debris to form a single rock around it, trapping itself in an impenetrable rock of gold.
An adventurer, with the help of Dondakan the Dwarf, managed to enter the rock that it was trapped in, and discovered the Arzinian Being inside. By taking advantage of its weakness to gold ore, the adventurer was able to defeat the Arzinian Being's avatar, causing the demon's spirit is banished back to Bordanzan, where it will take at least a thousand years to attain enough power to manifest itself on Gielinor again.

Trivia
- While the Arzinian Being does not appear before the player, it is actually located in the centre of the Wall of Flames on the 3rd floor of Dondakan's mine, inaccessible by any means. If players were somehow able to see it, they would see that it has a combat level of 781, making it the strongest monster upon the initial release of Old School RuneScape.
