Boss Helper
Stop dying to mechanics you forgot to track. Boss Helper remembers for you.
The Problem
You're learning Zuk. You die. Again. Because you forgot the pizza mechanic was coming.
There are 15 different mechanics you need to track. Pizza timing. Swords spawn. Minions. Checkpoints. Constitution thresholds. Prayer flicks. You're watching your ability bar. You're watching your health. You're watching the boss animation. Then WHAMโinstakill mechanic you didn't see coming because you were focused on DPS rotation. Learning a new boss means dying 20-50 times before mechanics become muscle memory. It's frustrating. It's expensive (death costs). And there's NO in-game help tracking when mechanics happen.
"I know Raksha has 4 phases and each has different mechanics. But tracking ALL of them while also doing my rotation? I just die over and over."
โ Reddit r/runescape - PvM Help
"Wish there was a boss addon like WoW has. Something that yells 'TAIL SWIPE IN 3 SECONDS' so I can react."

Boss Helper tracks mechanics FOR you. See timers. Get warnings. Stop dying to preventable attacks.
Boss Helper knows every mechanic for 50+ bosses. It tracks: mechanic timers, attack patterns, prayer swaps, special attack rotations. You get visual + audio warnings 3-5 seconds before major mechanics. Focus on DPS and movementโBoss Helper handles the tracking.
Mechanic timers for 50+ bosses (Telos, Zuk, Raksha, Solak, etc.)
3-5 second warnings before major attacks
Prayer swap reminders (Mage โ Range, etc.)
Phase transition callouts
Attack pattern predictions (based on boss HP %)
Kill time tracking and personal best logging
How It Works
Boss Mechanic Timers
Raksha's Charge Pad: '12 seconds until shockwave.' Telos's So Much Power: '8s until instakill.' Zuk Pizza: '5s - MOVE TO SAFE TILE.' Visual countdown + audio alert. You know EXACTLY when mechanics happen.
Prayer Swap Reminders
Boss switches from melee to mage? Audio alert: 'SWITCH TO MAGE PRAYER.' Visual icon flashes. You react instantly instead of eating a 5k hit because you forgot to swap.
Phase Tracking
See current boss phase: 'Raksha P2 - Shadow Bomb active.' Know what mechanics are possible in this phase. Predict what's coming next based on HP thresholds.
Attack Pattern Prediction
Boss just used Attack A and Attack B. Based on known rotation, next attack is C. Boss Helper predicts: 'Next attack: Tail Swipe (prepare to move).' Be proactive, not reactive.
Instakill Mechanic Warnings
Telos's 'So Much Power' about to one-shot you? LOUD audio warning: 'INSTAKILL IN 5 SECONDS - FREEDOM + RESONANCE.' Hard to miss. Impossible to ignore. Saves your life.
Kill Time & Personal Best Tracking
After each kill: time, deaths, mechanics failed, prayer flicks missed. Compare to your PB. See measurable improvement: 'First kill: 8 minutes, 6 deaths. 20th kill: 4 minutes, 0 deaths.'
