Fighting Cerberus
There are two main attacks you need to look out for.
Lava pools
This attack is initiated when Cerberus reaches below 200 health, her howling Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr and is used every fifth attack.
Three lava pools are deployed when this attack is initiated – one on the player's location, and two at random parts of the area.
The pools have a 3x3 AoE (1 tile from the centre).
- Standing in its radius when it is spawned deals 10 damage.
- Standing directly on a pool deals 15 damage every two ticks.
- Standing adjacent to a pool deals 7 damage every two ticks.
The pool targeted at the player is not instant at a distance, but is for those in melee distance. After a few seconds, the lava pools will dissipate, making the tile safe to stand on once more.
Summoned souls
This attack only starts when Cerberus falls below 400 health, and is used every seventh attack.
This attack is indicated with her howling Aaarrrooooooo, causing three Summoned Souls to appear from behind the archaic skull. They cannot be harmed.
Each one attacks using a different combat style, from west to east:

The souls attack once each time they are called in by Cerberus.
The souls come in a randomized order so it is important to identify the order to pray in.
If the attack is not protected against, it will deal 30 damage, unless otherwise from an elysian spirit shield, which reduces it to 22 damage.
If the attack is protected against, it will drain 30 prayer points instead. A spectral spirit shield causes this to be reduced by 50%, meaning 15 prayer points are reduced for each attack.
Having the required prayer to block the attack is not required - the attack is still blocked with insufficient prayer points, but the player's prayer will be drained completely as a result.
In order to block the attack, it must be prayed against before the spirit attacks.
