Bellock, the crazy archaeologist, is an insane individual and boss who resides in the Wilderness south of The Forgotten Cemetery (level 24 Wilderness). He uses Ranged and melee attacks and can perform a special attack where he throws explosive books that explode in a 3x3 area. A book deals up to 24 damage if it lands on your tile, and up to 8 if you are standing next to it.
Despite his high Magic defence, he has a negligible Magic level, and thus has a weakness to Magic. This is because Magic defence is primarily based on one's Magic level.

Strategy
A player fights Bellock, the crazy archaeologist.
It is recommended to use Magic armour with the Trident of the seas while praying range and avoiding his special attack of explosive books as soon as he says, "Rain of knowledge!" The best way to avoid it is by keeping a considerable distance, and running towards him until you are two squares away from him (this way, you will avoid Melee damage), and repeating the same steps over and over, you will minimise the chance of receiving damage.
Another strategy is to use high Ranged Defence armour (like Torag's armour and Obsidian shield) with a Zamorakian hasta or Abyssal whip alongside the Protect from Melee prayer.
The fastest way to get there is ::crazyarch (or the Teleport interface: Monsters → Crazy Archaeologist), which takes you right next to him. You can also use the spell Dareeyak Teleport from the Ancient Magicks spellbook with 78 Magic or a Dareeyak teleport tablet. Alternatively a burning amulet can be used to teleport to bandit camp and run to the ruins. Alternately you can teleport to Trollheim (61 Magic) and take the agility shortcut to the Wilderness, placing you right next to the ruins.
His location in the Wilderness is single target only.
Equipment
The setup primarily consists of only taking 3 or 4 expensive items as this boss is located in the Wilderness with the possibility of player killers appearing. Most teleports only work up to level 20 Wilderness, but an amulet of glory or a royal seed pod works up to level 30, so you can teleport away from the crazy archaeologist with one. You may still get teleblocked. Untradeable items such as god capes are lost upon death above level 20 Wilderness. The crazy archeologist wanders between level 23 and 25 of the Wilderness.
