Where to Look for Raksha
The following miniquest is only for members only, which is important to bear in mind before attempting it. It’s not likely to take up much in your spare time. It’s actually a rather short miniquest to be completed, and shouldn’t be too difficult to complete. The difficulty level is classed as Novice, so you should be able of doing it without too much hassle.
Normally, quests and miniquests are usually accompanied by requirements that range from skill to items requirements. This isn’t the case here with no requirements needed to do it.

You should make sure you are at least level 99 in attack, defence as well as Strength, Ranged Invention and Magic. Meanwhile, being level at 67 summoning and 95 prayer, and Herblore for Overloads 96 to help you will be the standard to be at before you enter the battle.
The objective here is to get through the mini-quest to get access to Raksha who is the Shadow Colossus boss. For starters, talk with Laniakea whom you can find towards the ruins in the south-east of Anachronia. From there, head to the to the west, and then climb the stairs. You need to siphon the shadow anima pool until you get to 100%. You will be taking 200 lifepoints every time So keep this in your mind.
After this, go down the steps to unlock the gate near the pools. You will then be escorted into the dungeon Laniakea and then escorted out due to the poisonous effects of the shadowanima. Go east towards the entrance of the oubliette. There, you can speak with Zaros. Some cutscenes will play with some dialogue , and then Raksha is disturbed by a shadow anima container being teleported.

Raksha Best Strategy Guide
Before we begin to explore the strategies to defeat Raksha and the Shadow Colossus, in this RuneScape guide, let’s look at some information on the beast. Raksha is an rex dinosaur which serves as both a solo and duo boss. It’s only available to battle with once the previously mentioned miniquest has been completed. With Raksha’s slumber being interrupted due to the destruction of a vat that was a shadow by Zaros, your task is to attempt to subdue the vicious rex after its lengthy hibernation.
If you are fighting the boss in a solo, Raksha comes with 800,000 health, which doubles when playing duos. One thing you must be aware of is the highly accurate attacks Raksha possesses, with level 110 for Attack and Ranged as well as a Magic levels of around 120. Unprotected attacks could cause up to 5 000 damage, while you are looking at 1,100-1,200 damage with secure attacks. As for Raksha’s defences, his defense is at 85, with his rating at 2178. It might seem overwhelming initially, when you realize that he is not really a threat. weakness, but he’s weakest when it comes to Ranged attacks. Raksha is invulnerable to poison and stuns, but reflect and leech damage can come in handy.
Phase One Attacks
In the initial phase of Raksha’s battle, autoattacks will be used in addition to an attack with a tail whip, and a charge attack. Also, there is the shadow bomb to fight, and possibly shockwaves if the battle drags on. Be on top of attacking the boss to try and end this stage as quickly as you can. Don’t forget to use your prayers and defence to protect yourself from his attacks.
Phase Two Attacks
In his next phase, you’ll be confronted with periodic messages that inform it is Raksha is imprisoning your mind with shadow energy. This will lead to Raksha spawning shadow orbs around the player, which will then be charged to unleash an attack that is powerful. You need to click on the orbs in order to eliminate them and receive an alert when they’ve been fully removed. He will be once again attempting to use the technique of shadow blast by siphoning the pools. With that being said, try clearing all the pools before moving on.
Phase Three Attacks
In the third phase, Raksha speeds up the rate that shadow anima is absorbs. A message will appear where Raksha holds you in the shadows. They will then summon a shadow manifestation per every player within the battle arena. They are said to have 10,000 health at level 160, which is why it’s ideal to take care to eliminate them as quick as possible to avoid having to face both them and Raksha.
Then, the Keeper will advise you to go into the antechamber due to the severity of shadows’ presence. Shadow manifestations that appear in the oubliette will then begin to fade away, and shadow pools do not add to the strength of Raksha. Then, he will begin moving towards the character, by activating a holding shield that is used to trap the boss. He then summons 4 hydraulic post. In his anger, Raksha reverts to his third phase’s initial health of 400,000. Double the amount if you’re a duo.
Stay close to him as he will have abandoned his signature attacks by now and will be a fan of using his tail swipe more. Try to stay clear of him, and eventually he will gain a new attack known as Erebus Charge. However, if you have adequate gear and are able to max your power stacks, you should be able to beat him before he can reach this stage.
Raksha Reward and Drops
When it comes to Raksha’s drop, they do not always drop on defeat. Instead the Keeper will be able to teleport items to where the antechamber’s security projector is located, and you can get them from there. There are numerous main drops that the boss will give you, that range from seeds to salvage dragonhide, scales spirits and runes. These tertiary items can be sold at a premium. Whilst the main drops are more popular, you can also get high-value items such as Blast Diffusion boots, Greater Ricochet ability codex and the extremely uncommon Broken Shackle.
