Phantom Muspah is a boss topic that Gnomonkey covers in 3 videos between 2025-09-03 and 2026-06-10. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Requirements

  • The wiki's worst melee downgrade for Muspah is Inquisitor's armour, torture, fire cape, Soulreaper axe, pharaoh gloves, dragon boots and Lightbearer, with Voidwaker listed as the worst spec weapon instead of the Dragon warhammer.1

Stats and numbers

  • The wiki-gear melee kill of Phantom Muspah (Inquisitor's armour, Soulreaper axe) took about 3 minutes 50 seconds in the video; Gnomonkey called it surprisingly not that bad and noted it was faster than a lot of crossbow camps.2
  • Gnomonkey's improved Void Knight melee kill of Phantom Muspah took about 2 minutes 30 seconds, which he described as not bad at all.3

Tips

  • If you can drain Muspah's defence with the Dragon warhammer, melee becomes usable; it is worse than switching to something like a ranged weapon, but not horrible. With only a Voidwaker spec to use, the fight is much harder.1
  • On Phantom Muspah, melee has to be used during the clone and smite phase, which Gnomonkey notes adds to the difficulty of a melee kill.4
  • You can definitely get multiple hits in during the Muspah teleport phase and that he was bad at it.5
  • If spikes appear all around the boss during the Muspah fight, Gnomonkey thinks you are 'just screwed'.2
  • Gnomonkey tells the team to be ready for the Muspah and to re-aggro it rather than mage it, so that it stays in place.6
  • If teammates need to mage the Muspah they should use blood spells.6

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey thought the Void Knight melee setup dodged the spike phase noticeably faster than the Inquisitor setup.7
  • Gnomonkey thinks the Muspah change makes it better in max gear setups, since several big hits are now needed before it swaps.8

Events

  • For the Wiki Guides episode on Phantom Muspah, the wiki's setup table had very bad mage and ranged downgrades and a worst-case melee downgrade; Gnomonkey chose the melee option as the most bad-faith interpretation.9
  • A minimum number of player attacks is added before the Phantom Muspah can change attack styles, so that a big hit such as a twisted bow shot (up to 80 damage normally) no longer makes it swap immediately.8
  • The duration of Phantom Muspah's homing spike attacks is shortened so the attack ends sooner.10
