Skotizo is vulnerable to demonbane weapons. These are a class of weapons that are more effective against demon-type monsters. Players should wear armour with high magic defence while protecting from melee, so the only way Skotizo can damage them is through magic.
Skotizo has two standard attacks; melee and magic, each with a maximum hit of 38. He will use a melee attack when the player is in melee range, and a magic attack if not. Except for these attacks, Here are other attacks you should look out for:
If a player depletes up to two-thirds of Skotizo’s health, he will summon 3 reanimated spawns and may randomly summon a dark Ankou at any point while an altar is active. They only use melee attack, so you don’t have to worry if protect from melee is turned on. The Arclight can kill them in one hit, which is why it is recommended for this fight.
Skotizo will randomly activate one of the four Awakened altars on each side of the room. For each activated altar, the player will deal less damage to him. 15% less with Arclight and 25% less with other weapons, up to a maximum of 60% and 100% damage reduction respectively.
One hit from the Arclight and Emberlight will disable an altar, regardless of the player’s stats and gear. The awakened altars have a hitpoint of 100 points, trying to kill it without those weapons would take too long. It is advisable to bring stamina potions to save energy when running to disable the altars. Players should temporarily switch to protect from Magic when running to disable the altars, as Skotizo will switch attack style when they are not in melee range.
The fight is quite easy. Ensure to use the right protection players to minimize the damage and eat when needed. After Skotizo has been killed, pick up the loot and turn off auto-retaliate so you don’t waste the charges from your Arclight on the minions.
Each Skotizo kill is worth approximately 164K GP or 166K when on a Konar task
