The Bandos avatar is the final boss of The Chosen Commander quest. It is the Goblin High Priest with the amulet of Bandos while being under his control.
In order to win against the avatar, you will have to shoot him with Zanik's crossbow. However, during the fight, the crossbow gets broken into three pieces, and needs to be reassembled again to work properly. After you defeat him the second time using the special crossbow is a dialogue option. However, if you do not follow the proper dialogue, he will use his powers to restore all of his health, making him technically immortal.
The Bandos Avatar is responsible for depositing Bandos's Ultimatum in the middle of Dorgesh-Kaan.
Strategy
The Bandos avatar can be easily ranged. It's also recommended you bring dragonhide armour for Ranged bonus and a bit more Magic defence. The avatar stays in the same position throughout the fight so use this to your advantage. Protect from Magic prayer may help here as well, and Protect from Melee when Zanik's crossbow breaks, as you then get attacked by warriors whilst picking up the crossbow pieces.
Habitat
Drops
When defeated, the Bandos Avatar drops Bones and a Pendant.
Trivia
- The Goblin High Priest which turned into the Avatar is killed in this fight. If players return to the Plain of Mud and enters the Goblin Temple, the High priest there (who looks exactly the same) will claim he replaced the old High Priest, who died. He will also reveal that the Goblins "fought" for the right to be a High Priest and he was awarded the honour.
- The Bandos Avatar is one of few Quest Bosses who are not available to be fought within Dominion Tower. This is likley due to the specific elements of the fight, mainly that pieces of Zanik's Crossbow fall to the floor for you to repair it, so you can shoot the Avatar with the repaired crossbow. It is also odd that you cannot fight this boss in the dominion tower, because The Chosen Commander is one of the quests you can do to gain access to the Tower.
