### Key Strategies
1. **Shield Management**: Protect the shield from Jal-Xil and Jal-Zek. If the shield is destroyed, survival is unlikely.

3. **Avoiding Healers**: Delay healer spawn by managing attacks and killing other minions first.

* '''Prayer Management:''' Efficient prayer switching is essential, especially when facing JalTok-Jad and healers. Use protection prayers appropriately to mitigate damage.
* **Pet**: Jal-nib-rek pet (1/100 chance)
* '''Focus Fire:''' When healers appear, switch focus to them immediately while ensuring you are still protected from Zuk’s attacks.
