Contents

Methods

  • If you kill the Doom of Mokhaiotl while doing the melee punish, it shoots holy water onto random tiles in all directions: holy water that lands in acid clears a 3x3 area and holy water that lands on you heals you.1

Stats and numbers

  • The holy water mechanic cannot be used after about cave 5 because the Doom of Mokhaiotl never does the melee punish (smite) phase later, so you never finish the boss during it.1
  • The holy water mechanic was bugged so that if the first hitsplat of your attack did not kill the boss (Scythe swing, Chally spec, or a godsword with an echo hit finishing) no holy water would proc.2

Tips

  • The spot where the rock block drags the Doom of Mokhaiotl to the middle of the room is a perfect location to clear acid with the holy water punish, and the tech should also work with it once patched.3

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey calls holy water baffling, a mechanic Jagex added and then nerfed when people used it, which he says felt like a last-minute untested addition.2

Events

  • The holy water punish was broken at the time and would probably return in the next patch, allowing you to punish the boss and clear acid on later waves (8+).3
  • Holy water, which drops when a melee punish finishes the Doom of Mokhaiotl and heals you, restores prayer and clears acid, was found to be bugged and not proc on delve 9 plus, and Jagex kept that because it would make later delves too easy; Gnomonkey agrees, noting people reach almost delve 200 without it.4
  • After players found that not attacking the boss after the orb phase avoided shield phase and allowed holy water on delves 6 to 8, Jagex made the boss start shield phase after about three attacks regardless, so holy water only works if a melee punish comes within them.5
