Colossal Cerberus

The **Colossal Cerberus** is a superior boss spawn of **Cerberus**.

To spawn one of these, the player must have unlocked the "Superior Boss Slayer I or II" perk. The odds of spawning are [1/500] with the first perk unlocked and [1/250] with the second perk unlocked.

Compared to "the normal" Cerberus, all items that are shared on both tables have increased drop rates on the Colossal's drop table. Additionally, it obtains some new drops such as 500M coins, an Epic Pet Mystery Box (u),1 Sacred token, a Grandmaster Task Bottle, a Baby Colossal Cerberus, and the Cerberite Halberd.

This monster will have a chance to spawn every time a Cerberus has been killed, immediately spawning after its death and initiating the fight.

This boss rewards the player with 4 Boss Points when slain.

Many players hunt after this monster to try and obtain a Cerberite Halberd.

This is a very rare item considered to be a second-best in slot melee weapon, just below the Scythe of Vitur, capable of hitting twice on larger enemies.

## Fight Overview

The Colossal Cerberus fights the exact same way as a regular Cerberus. Using a spiked ball to hit as a ranged attack and a blue orb to hit with a magic attack, both can be protected against if the player turns on their protection prayers in time. However, compared to a regular Cerberus attack, the colossal Cerberus not only deals more damage but also increases its prayer draining significantly. Players should be aware that their prayer does not run out to avoid taking even more damage.

Just like the Cerberus, this superior variant is also weak to slash and crush but does not count as part of a Cerberus slayer task. Using a scythe or crystal halberd switch for the Colossal is recommended.

## Helpful Tips

As the Colossal Cerberus is considered to be a "rare" spawn, only happening occasionally, it is recommended for the player to use an Epic Luck Token when killing these, as the loot is highly valuable and sought after. If the player does not want to have these tokens in their inventory to avoid using them while killing Cerberus, there are 2 alternative methods to take them out after a spawn.

* Vote Tickets: By bringing 10 vote tickets in your inventory, you can open the Vote Ticket exchange by pressing the votes and exchanging them for 5 Epic Luck Tokens. After killing the Colossal Cerberus the player can then teleport home to bank the remaining 4 tokens and come back with 10 more votes. This is the recommended way for players who have not yet obtained a "Currency Pouch", however it is more expensive as vote tickets are valuable and only available in limited amounts.

* Currency Pouch: By having Epic Luck Tokens available in the player's currency pouch, they can be withdrawn when needed. The player can not do this in combat however, thus it is recommended to run out of the Colossal Cerberus's reach, wait for 10 seconds to reach the "out of combat" stage, and running back in after withdrawing a singular Epic Luck Token. This can be done by simply running south as the Colossal Cerberus does not move from its place.

Players that have a ring of Vigour, the Grand Ring, or the imbued version, can choose to bring a Crystal Halberd with the Crystal Blessing. Using the Vigour effect the special attack cost is reduced to only 20%. Since the boss is weak to slash players can deal a massive amount of damage to this boss in a short amount of time by using these special attacks. In combination with good gear, flicking to soul split while doing so can heal back a large number of hit points.

## Collection Log

The Colossal Cerberus collection log consists of 10 items.

After obtaining all individual items on the collection log as a drop, the player is awarded 50 collection log points and 5x Mystery Tickets (u).
