I've now tried again, and succeeded, without any of the strategies suggested here. I put on splitbark armor, an ammy of magic, Karamja Gloves 1, Falador Shield 1, Ardougne Cloak 1, and beacon ring, turned on Protect from Melee and Mystic Might, and spammed Wind Blast. The damage per hit wasn't much more than with Excalibur, but it was far more frequent, and I only used two prayer-potion doses.

So I was doing One Small Favour, and going along fine (apart from having a hard time finding a white-robed, white-caped Seer in a bunch of white buildings), until I got the scroll from Cromperty. I wasn't expecting a big fight at that stage, so I ran off to get food and armor and the like. Coming back, using the Incredible Reflexes prayer (though not, I think, Ultimate Strength; I forget why) I was hitting occasional twos. I got the Slagilith down to a bit over a quarter health when it suddenly lost interest and turned inanimate. My question, therefore, is how do I do more damage more quickly? Please don't say "grind strength"; I hate grinding. For the record, I have 55 in each melee stat, 48 prayer, 55 magic, 51 ranged, and 39 summoning, and am using Excalibur as my primary weapon.
