Elite Dark Mages are magic-based monsters found in the Black Knights' Fortress dungeon. They were released along with the grandmaster quest While Guthix Sleeps. During Nomad's Requiem, a mage, ranger and warrior are sent to kill Nomad, but he defeats all of them with great ease.

Strategy

Elite dark mages attack with a large variety of combat spells, the most powerful of which is Earth Wave. They also have the ability to use prayer, so it is suggested to bring at least 2 forms of attack style to kill them with. Eventually they will run out of prayer so players can kill them. It will just take a little longer to do so. Also, there is a short break between their attacks when they switch their protection prayers. Wearing full Dagon'hai robes or full Elite black armour will make them and others in the dungeon non-aggressive.

  • Their prayer is 100% effective, unlike the Kalphite Queen's prayer which only boosts defence. However, Verac's set does penetrate their prayers.
  • Smite does not help drain their prayer, and neither does the special attacks of the Ancient mace or Dragon Scimitar.
  • They will switch prayer against a particular combat style after taking a total of 100 to 150 life points of damage since the last prayer change, poison excluded.
  • They run out of prayer eventually and become vulnerable to every attack style.
  • They will only run out of prayer after they have been hit 20 times.
  • This monster uses Weaken, Confuse, and Curse to lower stats, so restore potions are advised.

Trivia

  • Since they run out of prayer after 20 hits, if you attacked one Elite dark mage once and leave it alone, then the prayer would last forever. This also applies to the other monsters in the dungeon.
  • Monster Examine states that Elite dark mages have a max hit of 94. However, their actual max hit is 190, as the strongest spell they use is Earth Wave.
This was how Nomad was before the update.
