A new threat is upon us as Wen is ready to attack the streets of Geilinor and apparently, he is fully prepared with a new boss that comes with an army of ice-elemental foes. The epic battle is raging and we need to be prepared to fight this battle. Wen has a new army general called the "Arch Glacor" and he is ready to attack us with some highly damaging powers!

This monster is special in that it is meant to be a learner boss with a scalable boss battle, which means that you will be able to customize some of the boss' abilities according to your skills. This customization will actually happen through the mages, who are actually trying to control the boss and his abilities and you can turn the boss's mechanics on and off, allowing you to tailor the battle to your skill level, making it appropriate for almost anybody.

At the same time, five different mechanisms can be switched on and off. You have the option of using none of them or all of them at once. The fight would be easier if there were less toggles or boss mechanics involved. As a result, no toggle would be the simplest, and all toggles opened would be the most difficult.

To compete with them, you'll need at least 84 slayer ability level, but if you do, each time you kill a glacor, the prize will be well worth it because they leave Glacor fragments behind when they die. Glacor Remnants are crucial since they aid in the creation of some of the most powerful weaponry and there are quite a few surprises for you in the end as well.

As for disabling the arch glacor abilities, they do come at a price, which is your prize for winning the combat; the simpler the battle, the smaller the reward, and the more difficult you make it, the more rewards you get, simple as that. And if you want to get those rewards without having to be the most skilled player, maybe buying RS3 Gold is the best option for you.

Keeping this in mind, defeating the boss without using any mechanics would result in a poor drop table. The more mechanisms you add to your drop table, the better it will get, with the greatest table requiring all five mechanics to be active at the same time.

About Arch Glacor Boss

The Arch Glacor isn't your typical boss; it has a number of unique skills and capabilities that are mostly intended to teach players the PVM mode's basic battling and battle principles. These skills include, the movement in the battle, what abilities and skills to use, what RS accounts are crucial and so much more. So, before you jump onto the battlefield, here's everything you need to know about Arch Glacor and his assaults.

The Arch Glacor has five distinct attacks that the player can decide to turn on or off depending on his skill set, so you need to keep that in mind. The Arch Glacor, on the other hand, also has a basic attack that can not be disabled. However, the rest of the attacks are totally controllable and we are going to take a look at all the attacks that Arch Glacor has under his sleeves and what skills they are targeting to teach us.

Arch Glacor Attacks

As the Arch Glacor is designed to be the learner boss, the attacks can be switched on and off and each of the 6 attacks that the Arch Glacor come packed with are linked to one or more sets of skills that are necessary for PVM combat, except for the first one, which is the basic non-adjustable attack.

However, the Arch Glacor lets you tailor the fight according to your skillset, this makes it a lot easier for the new players to learn how to fight a boss battle and also difficult for the old veterans as they can make it much more harder for themselves, in case they want to test themselves out. Below are all the boss mechanics that you need to know about:

 

1 - Creeping Ice

The First Mechanic That Isn't One Of The Five Mechanics Is The Creeping Ice. On the battlefield, Ice Shards will form and close in on a specific region,essentially restricting the player to one side of the ground. Being a non toggleable mechanism of Arch Glacor, this is the one you will be facing a lot and I think it is quite basic and teaches you how to fight in a restricted area and if you have some of the other mechanisms on as well, you will see that it is often used before a one of the other 5 attacks.

2 - Glacyte Minions

The Arch Glacor has the ability to create a large number of Glacytes, rendering him invulnerable until you destroy them all. This system teaches players how to cope with a large number of minions as well as switch between various targets and also how to survive multiple attackers. While the Arch Glacor is immune to harm while the minions are alive, any damage dealt to them will be passed on to the Arch Glacor. So, despite how boring it is, you must finish them.

3 - Flurry

Next up is one of the more advanced attacks in terms of what is meant to teach the players. The following mechanic will be utilised to educate players how to accurately guess an incoming assault by looking at the animations. This is crucial since animation of the boss just before it starts to actually attack you actually reveals what the boss is going for. The Arch Glacor would flip between two distinct forms of damage depending on which one delivers more damage.

4 - Pillars of Ice

The next attack is also pretty damaging and hard to dodge. This attack is unique in that it uses creeping ice to push you into a corner, and then the boss fires a beam that deals a lot of damage when it hits you. But that's not all; as the ice dissipates, another beam shoots down, causing you to flee for your life while also draining 8% of your prayer points. This one teaches you how to move and kite in a more advanced manner.

5 - Frost Cannon

While all of the other attacks were somewhat dodgeable, this one is pretty much impossible to dodge but that's the way it is. The next attack is called Frost Canon, unlike the others, is inevitable; it kinda pushes you to a spot and fires a power beam at you, which you must fight using shield switching and other defensive techniques in order to live.

6 - Exposed Core

Last but not the least, we have the exposed core attack from arch Glacor. The boss's devastating display of strength is the exposed core, which fires a large beam in the centre and traps you with arms on both sides. You must smash through any of the arms before the beam kills you, as the damage increases each time.

Hope this guide gave you some insight about the boss and helped you understand what this new boss in runescape is all about and if you manage to beat this boss on a full difficulty level, you will essentially get a large sum of rewards and while these rewards are not fully revealed yet, there are some to check out on the official RuneScape site.
