The '''Mighty banshee''' is a stronger version of the [[Banshee]] and is first encountered in the [[quest]] [[Smoking Kills]]. They are found in the [[Pollnivneach Slayer Dungeon]]. Players must wear [[Masked earmuffs]], a [[Slayer helmet]] or a [[Full slayer helmet]] when fighting them, otherwise their stats will be dangerously reduced by the banshees AND they will sustain damage every few seconds by the swirling dust. As Mighty Banshees have a magic-based melee attack, wearing [[dragonhide armour]] is suggested when fighting them. Be warned; they are in a [[Multi-combat area]] and are aggressive; however, there are several useful safe spots for [[Magic|magers]], [[Ranged|rangers]], or use of the [[dragon halberd]].

Mighty Banshees can be used for making money, as they drop [[Pure Essence]] relatively frequently (23 noted).

==Tactics==
[[File:Bansheesafespot.png‎|thumb|Safe spot for rangers.]]
Using [[protect from melee]] and [[prayer]] boosting armour is a good strategy when fighting Mighty Banshees. This
method is fast and effective, as well as a good money and experience earner, and with a combined [[Attack]] and [[Strength]] level of around 180-185+, it is possible to receive 150-350k gp an hour profit, plus 60-80k+ combat exp (excluding [[Constitution]]), as well as level 3 clue scrolls, which are more often than not received during a 40-45 minute trip. A [[Salve amulet (e)]] or [[Slayer helmet]] will raise the wearer's attack and strength by 20% or 15%, respectively. The bonuses do not stack. A [[Black mask]], although giving the same attack and strength boost as the Slayer helmet, cannot be used due to the need of both [[earmuffs]] and
a [[facemask]] - something only provided by the [[Full slayer helmet|(full)]] [[Slayer helmet]] or [[Masked earmuffs]]. If the player does not possess a full slayer helmet, then using a salve amulet is highly recommended.

A simple way to sustain your [[prayer]] for a bit longer is to use the [[Ancient mace]] [[special attack]], which increases your prayer by the amount you hit. You can also use the [[Holy Wrench]], which increases the amount of prayer points gained from a dose of [[Prayer potion]] or [[Super restore]] by an extra 10 to 30 points depending on the player's Prayer Level. The [[Saradomin Godsword]] is preferable to the mace, however, as it not only restores LP but a minimum of 50 prayer points per landed special, and gives a +8 prayer bonus. Having a chapel in your Player Owned House (moved to [[Pollnivneach]] or the ability to make chipped tele tabs; though using chipped tele tabs requires you to use two tabs instead of simply leaving your house, but is cheaper than moving your house simply for a task) eliminates the need for food as players can teleport to their house and recharge there, assuming they have a chapel and altar. If using a ranger safe spot, next to the red barrier or one of the several safe spots in between the pillars, the Banshees will eventually become non-aggressive towards you. If you would like to make them aggressive towards you again, just pass the barrier, go down the stairs, and then walk back to where you originally were.

Another good tactic is to use the [[dwarven multicannon]] and stay behind one of the safespots, while the cannon does all the work. Since Mighty Banshees use a magic based melee attack, armour with a high [[magic]] defence bonus is recommended (preferably [[karil's]] or [[dragonhide]]).

Banshees are agressive. They will try to reach you from relatively far away.[[File:Agressive Banshees.png|thumb|294px|7 aggressive banshees around one player.]] They will normally not reach the player due to the large amount of obstacles that they can get stuck behind.

A good strategy is to pick up all of the coins that the Mighty Banshee's drop, and when out of food, simply climb the rope to the surface and buy Kebabs from the Ali the Kebab trader.

Alternatively, you can simply exit the dungeon and take a magic carpet ride to [[Nardah]], where you can pray at the statuette of [[Elidinis]] and be fully healed with a small [[LP]] boost. After that, simply take the carpet back to [[Pollnivneach]]. This method only works after the completion of [[Spirits of the Elid]] quest. While you are there, you can also quickly stock up or bank your supplies in the town [[bank]].

Also, if you have completed the easy tasks of the [[Ardougne Diary]], and have enough [[slayer ring]]s, you can use the [[Ardougne cloak 1]] to teleport to the Kandarin monastery, recharge your prayer, and note any [[herbs]] you have looted with the [[Farming]] [[Tool leprechaun|Leprechaun]] just outside. The slayer ring provides a quick teleport back to the dungeon. (The Ardougne cloak 3 also provides an excellent prayer boost of +6, which is very high for the cape slot, and the Ardougne cloak 2 provides a +4 bonus.)

To avoid using prayer and food entirely, you can range, mage or halberd the banshees from numerous safespots. [[Crumble Undead|Crumble undead]] is a cheap and effective option for mages.
