Part 2

How to get there




Team meets in Seers Bank, this is where invos can be checked before any trips begin if players are not sure if they have banked correctly

Either telle to your house if you have moved it to Rellekka OR walk up with the team along the paths to Rellekka

Posted Image

Travel with Jarvald to Water Birth Island

Posted Image

Enter and run towards the Giant Rock Crabs double door, if required use protect form melle prayer here – one team members on each team needs to stand on a pad each to be able to open the door

Posted Image

If the team has a member using a throwing axe follow the green route

If no throwing axes are being used two teams will have the enter two lots of main doors
Green route- Giant Rock Crabs – protection prayer is generally not required
Yellow route - Wallasalki – mage protect prayer will be required

Posted Image

Stand close to the triple propped up doors – if a throwing axe is being used make sure you have the special attack set and throw at the middle door and wait until the attack takes out all three props

If no axe is being used the two teams will have to attack the props for each other with mage or range attacks



Now climb down into the deeper dungeon with mage protection prayer on

Posted Image

An easy way for remembering prayer in each room is listed below

mage, range, none, range, mage x3, none, range,range/melle, melle

Please note
Where it says no prayer Giant Rock Crabs are in these rooms and may possibly melle you
Where it says range prayer you may also be melled by these dagonnoths but the range attack will prolly hurt you more than the melle attack

Rest behind the ladder safe until the team is healed and has restored energy up to at least 70% run, sara brew for that bit of extra defence and super restore to replace any lost prayer coming down thro the dungeon

Last mad run mage prayer




Mage’s are to enter the lower dungeon first – they are to run directly east and catch Rex on their way luring him towards the east then south safe spot – mage protection prayer is to be kept on at all times until mages are sure they are safe from primes attacks

Hybrids enter after a short amount of time and with mage protection prayer on and using all melle weapon spec attacks kill Supreme as fast as they can – healing thro any range attacks – once supreme is dead hybrids are to run towards the hybrid waiting spot and range Prime until dead – mage protection prayer must stay on during this time DO NOT take off prayer until you are sure you are not getting attacked

The Monsters



Posted Image
Dagannoth Prime, level 303
Nature: Aggressive
Attack Style: Magic
Examine: A legendary dagannoth king, rumoured to fly on the North winds.

Posted Image

Tactics: The Dagannoth prime casts what's like water wave on steroids. Simply turn on protect from magic and he won't be able to deal any damage to you. Also, he seems to hit the people who are attacking him with melee the most - or people who are right next to him. So it is a good idea to range. The only thing you have to be wary of is Rex running into you and damaging you badly. Also, his Magic can hit up to 64, and it will hit anyone within 3 spaces of its destination, and anyone in the path of the spell.

Notes: Be careful in the lair, as the other two kings can hurt you if you are not using their specific protection prayer.




Posted Image
Dagannoth Rex, level 303
Nature: Aggressive
Attack Style: Melee
Examine: Firstborn of the legendary dagannoth kings.

Posted Image

Tactics: Dagannoth Rex cannot be hit by melee or range, so mage him from the edge of the moat. Rex likes to move around a lot, and his huge tail will swipe out at you and deal up to 26 damage if you get too close. Also, when he swipes, damage will be dealt to multiple players if you're standing together, so spread out if your there with a team. If you see Rex coming for you, break off the attack, get back and wait for him to attack someone else, and then recommence attacking.

You can solo kill or dual kill the Rex by bringing a high level spell such as Fire wave, Magic dart, or an ice spell and maging Rex from the south-east corner of the island next to the seaweed. Be sure to bring plenty of prayer potions, food, and a teleport out. Bring Guthan armour if you can afford it for its healing properties.

Notes: Be careful in the lair, as the other two kings can hurt you if you are not using their specific protection prayer.



Posted Image
Dagannoth Supreme, level 303
Nature: Aggressive
Attack Style: Ranged
Examine: The dagannoth king responsible for the death of the Bukalla.

Posted Image

Tactics: The Dagannoth Supreme launches spines from his back that hit several people at a time. It's best to melee the Supreme, when he launches his spines, people who are further away are more likely to be hit than those standing near him. Also if you can get behind him that is great, as he only launches spines in front of him. As long as you have protect from ranged on, he isn't really that difficult.

Notes: Be careful in the lair, as the other two kings can hurt you if you are not using their specific protection prayer.

Killing Scenarios


Firstborn of the legendary dagannoth kings
Posted ImageDagannoth Rex
Drops include:
Rock-shell platebody & Rock-shell platelegs
Warrior Ring, Berserker Ring & Dragon Axe

Dagannoth Rex will move around the area the most; therefore he needs to be caught by a mage fast! and lured away from the team. His tail and ‘claw hand’ can swipe a mighty punch and often, damage can also be dealt by ways of a multi attack if players are grouped together


The dagannoth king responsible for the death of the Bukalla
Posted ImageThe Dagannoth Supreme
Drops include:
Spined body & Spined platelegs
Archers Ring, Seercull, Dragon Axe

The Dagannoth Supreme has a multi target attack – he throws spines in a range attack from his front
In a group of players with protect range prayer on he is no problem to bring down fast with a melle attack – healing with Guthans is also effective
Because Supreme has a range attack the closer you are standing to him will lesson his attack

A legendary dagannoth king, rumoured to fly on the North winds
Posted ImageThe Dagannoth Prime
Drops include:
Skeletal top, Skeletal platelegs
Mud staff, Seers' ring & Dragon Axe

The Dagannoth Prime is prolly the most dangerous of all three kings because we wear armour to the dungeon and it’s mage attack is powerful. This king is pumped full of steroids to utilize its water wave spell at you - again if players are grouped this will be a multi attack but no problem to players with mage protection prayer and a good range weapon to unleash on this monster




Dagannoth Monster Killing Scenarios


Ok here we go there are a few things that can happen at DK’s that can really mess up trips OR even end them fast!

If we have the team all working at dks in the same manner then there is no reason why we should have many deaths and have long and hopefully bounty full trips

  • Omfg! We where killing Supreme the mage couldn’t catch Rex fast enough and I got f**king k0’ed man – Rex just wouldn’t get off us! And the mage walked way!
Yep at times Rex is going to spawn while Supreme is being melled by the hybrids and will go and attack them. The only effective way out of this is for the mage to carry on killing Rex, and for the hybrids to ‘tank it out’ and carry on killing Supreme. Thing that will help you:
Mage if you are being pulled closer to the hybrid team stay safe by switching in protect from range prayer on – never walk off and just look after yourself
Hybrids carry on with protect from range on and spread out – Rex’s melle hits are a multi attack if you are grouped together – put on piety/chivalry prayer to help your melle attack and your defence from Rex’s attack on you and heal thro his hits. If you can not use piety/chivalry use steel skin prayer and best attack prayer you can.
As normal after Supreme is dead the whole group switch to mage prayer and run towards the east so that Rex can be caught by the mage. Once Rex is safe hybrids are to position as normal and resume kills

It’s important at times like this, players are not running around in a panic stay calm – use your prayer to help you and the team. Work together to get out of this

  • I died man at DK’s! We had Rex on us the mage was doing there best to get him; we carried on killing Supreme and Prime came back. I got hit by Prime them Rex stood no chance
Use the same prayers as above BUT change to mage prayer as soon as you notice Prime! Tank the hits from Supreme and Rex – again stay apart ALL hits from the kings are multi attacks if you are stood grouped

Tip: when ever you are killing Supreme always keep one eye open for the yellow dot on the mini map telling you when Prime has respawned! – Someone on TS will also give a warning

  • We where stood there killing Prime and I was stood out of the safe zone a little and got rex on me so I ran back to safe up and Rex hit the other player and the whole team got attacked by him one by one, the mage ran forwards and Supreme started attacking as well – the whole trip was a mess and I need to replace my Guth spear and helm
If prime is alive the prayer is always protect from mage – we wear armour so our mage defence is low! Prime will do the most damage

If you are killing prime and Supreme has also started attacking because someone was stood in the wrong place and attracted him DO NOT move closer to the group to try to get away. All you will do is put the other players in danger!

If by chance you are NOT getting hit by Prime switch your prayer to protect from range and stand still!
If you are under attack from prime remain with protect from mage prayer and tank out the hits from Supreme – steel skin prayer will help some and if you are finding yourself in trouble replace you range top for you Guth plate and carry on ranging Prime – eagle eye prayer will also help you kill Prime faster

Main points!!!!

If the wrong king starts to attack you DO NOT run towards other players!

DO NOT panic

Once you commence kills on a killing DO NOT move around – this is mostly important while killing Prime

Use TS! Even if you can not chat back listing to the person leading the team is of upper most importance – effective communication is a must! We do not have time to type it out!

TEAM WORK – support each other

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Multi yellow squares - Ideal safe spots for mages to safe Rex
Single yellow square – in game you will notice this square is a darker shade than the rest of the floor - Ideal safe spots for mages to wait for Rex to respawn
Waved yellow line – ideal place for mage to heal with the use of Guthens
Posted Image

Large green rectangle – in game you will notice these squares are a darker shade than the rest of the floor - Ideal spots for hybrids to kill Prime safely away from Supreme
Waved green line – ideal place for hybrids to heal with the use of Guthens, healong off of Supreme is also very effective
Posted Image

Multi green squares – if a player is taking Primes mage attacks for the group it is important that other player stay still and keep one space distance away from the player taking the attacks for the group

this guide needs to be updated, am guna try n work on some of it

changes made so far that ive found;

-Rune thrown axes NO LONGER work on all 3 door supports

-All attack ranges have been increased alot

-Prayers seem to take longer to activate

-Prime is ALOT harder to lure now as he moves around alot

-The accuracy and power of all 3 kings AND sineys have increased

-(this might just be my comp) You cant see what your hitting on prime from the ranging spot

-----Changes that need to be verified------

-Monsters can now attack as soon as they spawn, no slight delay as there used to be

-Rex now switches at will not just untill he kills/gets lured
