The listed profit rate assumes 25 kills per hour, but 30 can be achieved by using magic during the melee phases. Your expected profit will vary depending on your kills per hour and luck on venator shard drops.
For overall boss strategy, please see the strategy page for Phantom Muspah.
Before the fight starts, stand near the cave entrance and wait for the boss to spawn. Pray accordingly to which style the boss is currently using. Remember to summon thralls when your current one runs out of time. If using the melee step-back method, stand approximately 4 tiles east of the muspah's respawn point.
Run back and kite the boss if it is using melee to prevent it from attacking you. If you're able to, you can avoid its melee attack entirely by use of the stepback method, which involves moving at least one tile away from the boss one tick before its attack animation starts, as seen in the demonstration to the right. If the Muspah is moving while performing its melee attack and the player has Protect from Melee activated, it should always hit a 0.
Players using only the Twisted bow and no magic should use 2 Elder maul special attacks with as much crush accuracy gear as possible at the start of the fight to reduce the boss's defence, returning to their player-owned house to reset their special attack until at least 1 special attack lands (this will happen 8 out of 9 attempts on average). Following 2 elder maul specs, if the player has access to surge potion and lightbearer, they should regenerate to 75% special attack by the time smite phase arrives on most kills, allowing a Zaryte crossbow special attack with sapphire bolts (e) to be used. Players should return to their player-owned house , then teleport back with a Ring of shadows between each kill in order to reset their surge potion timer and regenerate special attack.
Players using magic and ranged should use a Zaryte crossbow as their special attack weapon, firing Sapphire bolts (e) with the special attack during smite phase. If the player has access to surge potion and lightbearer, a ruby dragon bolts (e) special attack can be used on the ranged phase early in the fight, and then another sapphire bolts (e) special attack during smite phase.
When the boss starts teleporting around the arena, there is a square near the centre in the south-west corner where you can stand to avoid all of the shadow orbs fired as well as being able to keep attacking the boss without being dragged out.
During the prayer shield phase, cast Greater Corruption. This applies corruption to the boss which can help with removing its shield if you aren't comfortable with flicking Smite. Equip your crossbow and sapphire bolts (e) and proceed to attack the boss, using your special attack to proc the sapphire special effect and praying accordingly. Once the shield drops, re-equip your twisted bow and finish it off.
