Face-off with Char

Note: It is advised to bring a few energy restoring items, or visit the salt bath in Oo'glog, as well as bringing lifepoint restoring items such as Saradomin brews. It is also advised to bring either knives or darts and nothing else except weight-reducing items. Armour will have no effect when fighting Char, nor will the type of weapon you use, so feel free to use bronze knives or darts - they cause the same amount of damage as rune.

• Defeat Char.
• Damage is calculated base on the following formula:

Where N is the number of fires lit, will be represented by:

N x 101 = Damage on Char
