Beast of Second Nature



The Beast of 2nd nature is a level 131 monster that players must defeat in the poison project quest. This is the beast's second of three forms, the 1st being the weakest and the 3rd being the most powerful.

General
This monster may only be fought twice during the whole game. Once for the poison project quest and another for a drop reward after the quest.

This monster is actually a tougher opponent than its combat level suggests (lvl 131). It's a bit like a strength pure, it hits hard and frequently, has high life points, but is easy to hit and inflict sever damage on, thus players below 65 defense are advised to bring a good inventory of lobsters, or half an inventory of monkfish plus.

Here are some statistics and general info: I'm confused... when I thought I'd killed this thing, this appears!
 * Max hit: 297
 * Life points: 1979
 * Poisonous: no
 * Aggressive: yes
 * Examine text:
 * Immune to poison: yes
 * Location: unknown (you are teleported there by a character in the quest.)

Strategy
For players level 100+, this monster shouldn't be too much of a problem, as 75+ attack and strength is enough to hit extensively against its low defense. 65+ defense is STRONGLY advised, as this monster hits frequently in the low 200s even against 70 defense. this monster also hits fast (about 0.01 of a second slower then a scimitar), so players should keep a check on their life points. 43+ plus is also strongly advised for the protect from melee prayer, which is extremely useful.

The most effective way to kill this monster is using a fast weapon, the most preferable option is a scimitar, as it combines speed with accuracy.

this monster has EXTREMELY high magic defense (better than black dragons) so magic is pretty much a suicide option.

Ranging is one of the better options, as a magic shortbow can hit hard and fast, although a tanking method is advised.
