Kamil

Kamil is the guardian of the ice diamond in the Desert Treasure quest. He uses ice magic spells that will freeze the player. He is weak against fire spells; this, coupled with the weakness of his spells, mean that using Fire Magic is advisable against him. Wearing black dragonhide will protect from his attacks effectively; however, this can detract from the effectiveness of spells.

Kamil makes a reappearance in the Recipe for Disaster final battle as Karamel.

He can be fought in the Nightmare Zone after the quest is complete.

Getting to Kamil
Kamil is reached east of the Ice Path, north of Trollheim.

To get there, teleport to Trollheim, which requires 61 Magic and completion of Eadgar's Ruse quest, and walk to the Fire Gate. Squeeze between the gate, kill five ice trolls to get the gate to open. Head up the Ice Path, past the ice wolves (level 132) and you'll come up against Kamil. For a more detailed guide, see the Desert Treasure guide.

Killing Kamil
Kamil is powerful with Melee and Magic. It's a good idea to wear Ahrim's robes, Lunar robes, Splitbark armour, or Mystic robes with Black d'hide chaps to fight Kamil.

Fire spells are clearly the best way to go, but there is a common misconception here. Many people believe spells like Fire Wave are the best. However, the Freeze Effect (the effect that the icy area lowers all stats) reduces your Magic level. The higher level Fire spell you're using, the more stat restore potions you will need. Fire Bolt with Family Crest Gauntlets is a very good idea, and Fire Blast also works if you have a very high Magic level.

Once you come up against Kamil, turn on Protect from Magic or Protect from Melee and begin maging Kamil up close. He will constantly teleport next to you, freeze you, and then melee you, so trying to run around is wasting time, as you won't get away. This fight isn't particularly hard if you do it right. As stat restore potions also give prayer points back, this means that apart from the fact you hit slightly lower you will drink just as many potions as if this was outside the icy area, which gets rid of his advantage. A one click teleport is highly recommended.

Note: Iban's Blast and Trident of the Seas are completely ineffective against Kamil as it will only hit 0's.
