This is true, if you have the full set, try it out. Make sure to use the melee prayer though, I accidentally used ranged prayer and died hard. If you dont believe me, go down there with no equipment on and use melee protect. Even without the shield, you will be okay. I banked all my items, i'll update this post if thi does work. Edit1: No armor no weapons i punched it with and without melee pray..never hit above 8....
