There’s no question that Runescape is one of the oldest games being played today. While Runescape has evolved to acquire a more modern audience, Old School Runescape is available to those that love the aesthetic and nostalgia of playing the original Runescape.
Old School Runescape features a lot of the same content that was featured before and even more additions on top of that.
In this guide, we will be showing you the mechanics of how Phantom Muspah works, and how you can easily defeat this boss without breaking a sweat.

When it comes to the fight itself, you will need to watch out for the beginning because the Phantom Muspah will spawn either in range mode or melee mode. Both are deadly, but range mode will easily get your health down if you aren’t ready.
It’s advised to hit it from afar with a ranged attack as well. Once it takes around 100 damage, the Muspah will change to its melee mode.
The Muspah has an attack that heals itself if the player is damaged. This attack comes in the form of spikes, which the Muspah will spawn if you aren’t careful.
If the Muspah is in its range mode, it will charge a magic attack that can apply Corruption onto the player, draining your prayer points.
Your goal is to stay far away from the Muspah in both its range and melee forms. You do not want to get caught near it, as it can do more damage if you are.
