Corporeal Beast

Corporeal Beast
The Corporeal Beast is the physical incarnation of the Spirit Beast, and is a very powerful boss monster. Released on 15 September 2008, it requires completion of the quest Summer's End to fight. The Corporeal Beast was brought into existence when the Spirit Beast was killed at the end of Summer's End; as everything within the Spirit Realm represents the opposite of its version on Gielinor, the death of the Spirit Beast in the Spirit Realm caused the creation of the Corporeal Beast in Gielinor. The Corporeal Beast resides in the Gielinor version of the caverns in which the Spirit Beast was trapped and destroyed.

With a combat level of 785, it is one of the highest-leveled monsters in the game, surpassing every God Wars Dungeon general but Nex. The Corporeal Beast is the only monster to drop the arcane, divine, elysian, and spectral sigils, used to create the spirit shields. In addition to its sigil drops, the Corporeal Beast has many other valuable drops. It has very high accuracy, damage, and defence for its levels; it can devour Summoning familiars; it has damage reduction against nearly all sources of damage; and it can summon dark energy cores with which to attack players and heal itself.

Strategy
Because the Corporeal Beast has no weaknesses, there is no particular method of slaying it. Players may find melee the best form of combat to use against it but ranged is also quite effective against the Corporeal's high defence. When using melee, the armour with the best offensive/defensive bonuses available should be used with a Zamorakian spear as the weapon.

When using ranged, players should be using a chaotic crossbow (rune crossbow) with ruby bolts (e). Armour should be chosen based on the ranged attack/def bonuses to hit as often as possible and to get as low hits as possible.

Trivia

 * After killing the Corporeal Beast, a player's  Adventurer's Log  will say "I killed the Corporeal Beast, a vision of supernatural horror."
 * Killing more than one will result in "I killed X Corporeal Beasts, all visions of supernatural horror."
 * When a player kills the Corporeal Beast and receives a sigil, a server wide announcement is broadcast to all players on that particular world.
 * The dark energy core, before the release of evolution of combat can be poisoned; and the energy being transferred to the beast will harm, instead of heal, after being poisoned.
 * Like Revenants, it is possible for the Corporeal Beast to ignore the player and move around even if under attack.
