Thrall

Thralls are undead beings which can be summoned to attack enemies.

Overview

Thralls are summoned with resurrection spells in the Arceuus spellbook, which requires completion of A Kingdom Divided. In addition to the required Magic level and runes, the player must have the book of the dead either wielded or in their inventory, along with 2-6 prayer points in order to summon a thrall.

The impish whistle can be used to unlock a cosmetic override for thralls, giving them the appearances of imps.

Thralls notably always deal successful hits, with the damage roll ranging from 0-3 depending on the tier of spell used, as well as ignoring the flat armour stat. This makes them fairly powerful allies for prolonged encounters, speed-based Combat Achievements, and places where magic spells (not including powered staves) are not needed. Thralls have an attack speed of 4, or once every 2.4 seconds.

Thralls cannot attack other players. Damage dealt by the thrall counts as damage dealt by the player that summoned it.

The magic thralls' projectiles will hit enemies 1 tick earlier than the ranged thralls. Therefore, magic thralls are preferred whenever there are no special type resistances. Some bosses, however, such as The Hueycoatl, have blue-coloured attacks to dodge, so the ranged thrall can be preferable as to not be confused with or masking away a dangerous tile, as he is yellow.

Thralls will remain for a set amount of time ( seconds (i.e. 1 tick per level)), or twice as long after claiming the Master Combat Achievements rewards. There is a ten second cooldown before the player can cast another resurrection spell, although the current thrall will despawn in the process.

As the thrall's duration is dependent on the player's Magic level, boosting it will subsequently increase the thrall's duration:

Magic level Normal With Master Combat Achievements
22.8 seconds 45.6 seconds
34.2 seconds 68.4 seconds
45.6 seconds 91.2 seconds
59.4 seconds 118.8 seconds
65.4 seconds 130.8 seconds
67.2 seconds 134.4 seconds
72 seconds 144 seconds
75 seconds 150 seconds

Thralls cannot pass between rooms (for example, a thrall summoned in the Corporeal Beast lobby will remain there even when the player enters the Beast's arena and attacks it)

Restrictions

Thralls cannot be resurrected at the following locations:

Combat Achievements

There is a Medium combat achievement (worth 2 points) called Sit Back and Relax which requires the player to deal 100 damage to creatures using undead thralls. This can be accomplished accumulatively across multiple undead thrall casts and multiple enemies.
