The **Balance Elemental** is an enemy fought during While Guthix Sleeps. It was created by Guthix using time, balance, and a human being, to protect the Stone of Jas after Guthix ended the God Wars in the Third Age. It could be linked to the Chaos Elemental, according to Reldo in an edition of Postbag from the Hedge. It speaks about the player as if they have already met, and the player has already died.

Unlike most enemies, the Balance Elemental is capable of using all three styles of attack, switching styles periodically. To counter this, Protection prayers are capable of blocking all damage dealt by the elemental.

The Balance Elemental is fight-able as a class C boss monster in the Dominion Tower minigame if the player has completed While Guthix Sleeps.

## History

The Balance Elemental was created by Guthix from a combination of time, elemental power, balance and a human some time prior to the Stone of Jas taking up its residence in the Ancient Guthix Temple. Guthix tasked the elemental with guarding the stone until they were near to death, at which time they would be returned to their home plane with his gratitude and blessing.

During the fight against it, the elemental claims to have known the player well, describing their funeral as a "lovely" event, and that they would know more than anyone that the good die young. On death, it recites the speech Guthix gave when it was created, and disappears.

## Habitat

The Balance Elemental lives in the temple where the Stone of Jas is found. Lucien appears immediately after defeating it and finally, at the end of the quest, Tormented Demons are fought. According to its duel card, the Balance Elemental exists in multiple dimensions at once, a state known as straddling.

The Balance Elemental uses all attack styles, and changes appearance for each: A stone club signifies that it is attacking with melee, a flaming bow ranged, and blue spike protruding from its head mean magic attacks. It also uses a stat draining attack which is a rock-like missile. God spells do not work against this monster.
