	As Imaru is a [[Dragonwilds:power level]] 5 entity, she ~~can only~~ be ~~survived by players who are at least~~ power ~~level~~ 5 or ~~above~~. It is also suggested ~~to look for some~~ [[Dragonwilds:Sanguine Urn]]<nowiki/>s ~~that are located around Fellhollow and the region before~~.		As Imaru is a [[Dragonwilds:power level]] 5 entity, she will be difficult to defeat without wearing power Level 5 or higher gear and being prepared. It is also suggested that you gather enough [[Dragonwilds:Sanguine Urn]]<nowiki/>s, so you have enough [[Dragonwilds:Health]] to survive.

	* [[Dragonwilds:~~Fire Rune~~]]s and [[Dragonwilds:~~Air Rune~~]]s to cast [[Dragonwilds:~~Enchant Weapon~~: ~~Fire~~]] ~~and~~ [[Dragonwilds:Tempest Shield]], ~~respectively~~
	* [[Dragonwilds:~~Magical Focus~~]] if using ~~magic for attacking Imaru~~		==== Other Consumables and Ammunition ====
	* ~~Runes to cast~~ [[Dragonwilds:Spectral Arrows]] if using ~~2-handed~~ Ranged ~~attacks~~		[[Dragonwilds:Potions]], [[Dragonwilds:Whetstone\|Whetstones]], and [[Dragonwilds:Magical Focus]]:
	* ~~Plenty of~~ [[Dragonwilds:~~Law Rune~~]]~~s for~~ [[Dragonwilds:~~Lodestone~~]] ~~teleportation~~ to~~/from Imaru's Lair~~
			* [[Dragonwilds:Lesser Magic Potion]] if using [[Dragonwilds:Magic]] and [[Dragonwilds:Lesser Attack Potion]] if using [[Dragonwilds:Attack]], but note that only one potion effect can be active at once, so you must choose between these and the [[Dragonwilds:Antifire Potion]].
			* [[Dragonwilds:Whetstone\|Whetstones]] if using [[Dragonwilds:Attack]], [[Dragonwilds:Magical Focus]] if using [[Dragonwilds:Magic]], and [[Dragonwilds:Enchanted Mithril Bolts\|Enchanted]], or regular arrow ammunition if using [[Dragonwilds:Ranged]].

			==== Runes ====
			[[Dragonwilds:Runes]] to use [[Dragonwilds:Magic]] attacks and cast the following spells:

			* [[Dragonwilds:Surge]] is incredibly valuable for every combat style, as it will not only increase the distance and remove the stamina cost for three dodges, but the first dodge with its upgraded version will leave behind an [[Dragonwilds:Afterimage]], to trick the [[Dragonwilds:Rotsworn Thrall]]<nowiki/>s.
			* [[Dragonwilds:Tempest Shield]] may only work for melee and crossbows, but it is still incredibly valuable, as it will enable blocking many otherwise unblockable attacks, including some that will then apply [[Dragonwilds:Burning]], dealing further damage. Unfortunately, even with a high [[Dragonwilds:Attack]] level, it will expire before it comes off cooldown, therefore will not always be available.
			* [[Dragonwilds:Enchant Weapon: Air]] increases the attack speed and damage of your equipped melee weapon if using [[Dragonwilds:Attack]].
			* [[Dragonwilds:Enchant Weapon: Fire]] applies burning effect on enemies.
			* Although [[Dragonwilds:Spectral Arrows]] primary purpose is to enable arrows to pierce, it also increases their damage done, and is worth maintaining over the course of the fight if using [[Dragonwilds:Ranged]].
			* Lastly, don't forget to use [[Dragonwilds:Internal Alchemy]] to maintain your [[Dragonwilds:Infusion]] and [[Dragonwilds:Food]] [[Dragonwilds:Perks]] if they are going to fall off during the fight, and use [[Dragonwilds:Magical Mending]] to keep your gear ship-shape in the event of your death or while farming
