Aquanite/Strategies

Aquanites can hit up to 134 with their normal magic attack and are fairly accurate, even with large magic defenses. If the player is using the Protect from Magic prayer, they use a special prayer-negating attack which can hit up to 250. The special prayer-negating attack is used every 10th attack, beginning with the 9th attack, whether you are using prayer or not. Note, however, that prayer flashing almost completely prevents them from using the protection cancelling attack. A healing familiar, food and prayer potions may be useful in case mistakes are made. A bunyip is recommended, as well as Swallow Whole scrolls, due to the large amount of food the monster frequently drops.

Caution: Aquanites' special attack deactivates a players' prayers in a similar manner to the special attack of the dragon scimitar, but unlike the dragon scimitar, they only turn it off, instead of preventing the player from using it for a while. Aquanites' attacks can hit fairly hard and are relatively accurate, but with the use of a healing familiar or similar methods, players may fight for long periods of time. However, it is possible to use protection prayer, since your prayer is only be deactivated for a second, and so gear with high prayer bonus may also be worn.
