Dungeoneering

Ferret fishing/Ferret on an island

Required skills: Cooking, Fishing, Ranged
Required items: Fishing rod, Feathers

The goal in this puzzle is to make the ferret walk onto the pressure plate in the opposite corner.

1. Use a fly fishing rod and feathers (sold by smuggler) to fish from the fishing spot.
2. Cook the fish on the fire.
3. Use the fish with the tiles to throw the fish, and the ferret will move to that tile.

Ferret hunting

1. Use the group members to sneak up on either side of the ferret using the walls as cover.
2. One person approaches the ferret, making it run in the opposite direction.
3. Person standing in the opposite direction approaches and catches it.

If not many people have a high enough hunter level then try to make the ferret approach them.

B. The simpler way but more often than not it will take longer.

1. Cut the dry branches located on the walls.
2. Fletch the branches into traps for the ferret.
3. Drop the traps at different locations on the ground.
4. Approach the ferret from a direction which will make it run towards a trap.

Sliding statues

Requirements: None
Simply slide the statues to copy the positions of the unmovable statues below.

Do not mirror the statues - simply copy their position. A solved sliding statues puzzle is shown in the picture.

Combat triangle statues

Required skills: Crafting, Mining
Required items: Pickaxe, Hammer,Chisel (found on the ground)

1. Pick up the chisel on the ground
2. Mine the crumbling wall. You should only need 1 stone block
3. There are 3 statues, and one must have a staff, one a bow and one a sword. Find out which one the unarmed statue doesn't have, and make that weapon. Then arm the statue.

10 statue weapons (2 rows of statues)

Required skills: Crafting, Mining
Required items: Pickaxe, Hammer, Chisel (found on the ground)

1. Pick up the chisel on the ground
2. Mine the crumbling wall. You need at least 5 stone blocks
3. Arm the statue. The correct weapon is the weapon which would beat the opposite statue (combat triangle). If the opposite statue has a staff, you need to arm the statue with a bow. If it has a bow, you need to make a sword. If it has a sword, make a staff. Repeat the process until all 5 statues are armed.

If you don't arm the statues with the correct weapons, you will have to try again until you get it right. As you may fail when crafting the rocks, destroying the rock in the progress, stand by the crumbling wall when crafting the weapons to save running back and forth.

Tip: Drop the chisel once you're done to save inventory space.

Follow the leader

"Invincible" ghosts

Requirements: None

The room has several ghosts which do not take damage. One of the ghosts has a spirit, which allows you to kill that ghost. You can see the spirit flying into another ghost from time to time (highlighted in the picture), so always follow the spirit to kill the ghost with the spirit. Once one ghost is killed, the spirit will fly into the ghost closest to it.

Crystal / Converging lights

Required Skills: Magic

The goal is to make all the 4 converging lights reach the middle at the same time. Before you start, power up inactive lodestones (shown on the right in this picture). Then, step onto the pressure pads to pause the lights, and release the pad to start them again.

Alternatively, if you're in a party with several people, you can also pause the lights at the middle, which will also solve the puzzle.

Monolith

Imbue white and green tiles

Required skills: Runecrafting

The room has 5x5 tiles, and you need to get all of them the same colour (either white or green). You can solve this just by trying to get as many as possible the same colour, and then force the remaining tiles. There will always be at least one way to solve it without forcing the tiles, but once you've forced a tile you might not be able to solve the rest the normal way (which means that you'll also have to force the rest).

Damaged construct

Required skills: Crafting, Runecrafting, Magic Required items: Pickaxe, Hammer, Chisel (found on the ground)

1. Pick up the chisel on the ground
2. Take a lump of stone from the Crate of magical stone
3. Examine the construct, see what it is missing, and carve the lump of stone into that
4. Imbue the item you just made by clicking on it
5. Use the item with the damaged construct
6. Charge the construct

5 switches

Requirements: None

There are 5 switches (4 pictured) that have to be pulled within a short amount of time, depending on how big your party is. If you're alone, you can easily do all of them.

If you have a larger party, everyone needs to be assigned to some of the switches. Everybody should pull the switches at the same time, and then the remaining switches should be pulled by those who are closest to them.

Suspicious grooves

Requirements: None

There are 3 rows of 4 suspicious grooves. 3 of the 4 grooves on each rows are traps. Make your way through by trial and error.

Enigmatic Hoardstalker riddler

Required Skills: Summoning, Thieving
Speak to the Enigmatic Hoardstalker and he will give you a riddle. The riddle is answered by giving him the item the riddle describes. These items can all be found or made in the room he's in on either the floor, the tables or in the barrels or chests.

A list of possible riddles and their answers is listed in the Enigmatic Hoardstalker section below.

Icy room with 4 buttons

Coloured ferrets

Seeker sentinel

Maze

The aim of this puzzle is to reach the middle of the maze before the timer runs out. Start the timer by pulling the switch and then make your way towards the middle. Once the timer runs out a toxic gas is released which can only be stopped by opening the chest in the middle of the maze.

It is possible to simply move to the next room without entering the middle but this will mean you will get damaged every time you need to pass through the room.

Lodestone and pillars

Agility maze

Barrel puzzle

Required Skills: Construction, Strength
Required Items: Hammer, Barrel bits (found on the ground)
The aim in this room is to fill the barrel with enough water to push down the pressure tile, unlocking the doors. Move the barrels to get to the barrel bit on the floor and then return to the broken barrel to fix it. Once fixed, push the barrel to the pipe where the water is running. Once the barrel is full, push it on to the pressure tile.

Tip: Have one person on each side of the barrel, allowing the barrel to be pushed faster when the pipe changes.

Sleeping guards

Required Skills: Agility

The aim in this room is to steal the guards' keys and use them to unlock the door. The room is littered with trash and to avoid waking the guards up you have to walk over it instead of running. If the guards wake up, try to run back out of the room as fast as possible to avoid getting trapped. Then kill the guards for the keys.

Mining room

Required skills: Mining, Construction Required items: Pickaxe, Hammer

Mine through the rubble to get to the next room. However to ensure that rubble doesn't keep falling from the ceiling, repair the support pillars on the sides of the path. Falling rubble can cause very high damage so be sure to have food available.

The Fremennik Scout

Required Skills: Cooking, Smithing, Fletching Required items: Hammer (provided by scout), Knife (provided by scout)

In this room the Fremennik Scout needs help to smith weapons, fletch bows and arrows and to cook food before he allows you to pass. Simply click on the crates containing the raw materials to complete the puzzle.

Gluttonous Behemoth

Uses a combination of ranged, magic and melee attacks.

It has the ability to eat from the carcasses in the room. If you're in a single player dungeon, there will be one carcass, while in a team dungeon there will be two. Stand between the Behemoth and the carcasses to prevent it from eating and healing.

If you're in a team dungeon, and the other members leave, leaving you alone, it is impossible to beat the behemoth as it will always heal from one of the carcasses.

Although it constantly heals, it can not be used for combat training as the experience given when fighting it is lower than usual.

Astea Frostweb

Uses magic based attack and will occasionally freeze you, preventing you from moving. Also summons ice spiders, which use melee based attacks. She alternates between being fully protected from melee, ranged and magic every 20 seconds. When she is protected from the attack style you use, you can switch to a different attack style or kill the spiders.

Protect from magic is effective against her, but she will summon more spiders if you use it.

Icy Bones

Luminescent icefiend

Plane-freezer Lakhrahnaz

Strong against magic and range attack, weak against melee. However, he is in an ice-covered room which makes it hard for melee fighters to move around. It will occasionally push players backwards, so just slide back to it and continue fighting. It uses a mix of ranged, magic and melee attacks.

It is effective for members to use a melee summon, which will not be affected by the ice.

To'Kash the Bloodchiller

Uses melee and magic attacks. Weak against magic, especially fire based spells.

Its special attack will encase you in ice. To'Kash will then break the ice, dealing somewhat high damage in the process. If you're part of a team, a team member can break you free from the ice, which will not deal any damage at all and help you save food.

It may also drain your prayer points, but only if you are using a protection prayer, so you can still use other prayers without having it drained. Before he uses the prayer drain attack, he will say "I will shatter your soul!"

Skeletal Horde

There is a divine skinweaver which will heal you as long as you stand on the pad around her.

Skeletal mages, rangers (throwers) and warriors will emerge from the holes in the wall. Kill them until the skinweaver tells you to block the tunnels. When you're told to, block one of the tunnels, and continue fighting the skeletons. If you block the tunnels before you're told to, you'll take damage. Block the next tunnel once the skinweaver tells you to, and continue until all tunnels are blocked and all skeletons are dead.

Talk to the skinweaver before you leave the room.

Tips: Use the protect from range prayer and focus on killing the other types of skeletons. Try staying around the skinweaver as much as possible if you're taking high hits. The longer you stay around the skinweaver, the more you'll be healed.

Hobgoblin Geomancer

Uses magic based attacks, including snare, weakening spells and earth blasts. The latter can hit several team members at once.

You should fight him without prayer. Using any form of prayer may result in the geomancer disabling your prayer, healing himself in the process.

This boss is relatively easy, but getting snared can be annoying for melee warriors as you will not be able to move in 12 seconds. Bringing a ranged weapon and ammo is a good alternative when snared.

Bulwark beast

The Bulwark beast has a thick armour which you need to break through before you are able to damage the beast. Use a pickaxe to break through the armour. The better pickaxe you have, the faster you'll break the armour. Once the armour is gone, kill it with a normal weapon.

Alternatively, use magic against it. Magic will hit through the armour, so you won't have to break it first.

Unholy cursebearer

Uses both magic and melee based attacks. Slowly lowers all your combat stats except prayer.

You can recharge your stats at the unholy fonts on either sides of the ladder, but this will restore about 1/8th of the cursebearer's life points.

Rammernaut

Rammernaut only uses melee, but will use a strong attack to disable the protect from melee prayer if you try to use it, so you need to fight it without the prayer.

Rammernaut has a ram attack, which can deal high damage. Before doing this attack, Rammernaut will shout "Chaaaaaarge!". If you stand next to a wall before he charges, you can dodge his attack by moving away from the wall, resulting in Rammernaut ramming the wall (but he will not take any damage).

Since he only does melee damage, good melee armour is highly advised. Rammernaut is extremely weak to magic attacks and should always be the style of combat used against him.

Stomp

When fighting Stomp, he will shoot a large beam from his mouth at least 3 times (when its life points reaches 2/3 of max, 1/3 of max and 1), making rocks and crystals fall from the roof. Pick up the crystals and use them to power up the lodestones. The rocks may block the lodestones or the way to the crystals, which will let Stomp heal and prolong the fight.

You can see where the rocks will fall when the shadows appear. You can prevent a rock from falling to a specific spot by standing there, although you will take some damage.

Har'Lakk the Riftsplitter

Uses mage and melee, with mage hitting highest. The mage attack will also drain your prayer. Using protect from magic will prevent the magic from hitting, but your prayer will still be drained.

Has an extremely strong special attack which will let a "rain" of small portals appear, causing high damage.

Just before the portals appear, Har'Lakk will say one of three phrases, depending on which portal will appear:

• Taste miasma! - Poisons you on member worlds
• A flame portal will flush you out! - Deal high damage
• This will cut you down to size! - Lowers your combat stats

Lexicus Runewright

Despite looking like an easy boss, Lexicus deals a lot of damage, so be sure to bring plenty of food. To begin with, Lexicus will reflect about 1/3 of the melee damage you deal back at you, so it might be a good idea to use mage or ranged (the latter being the most effective).

Lexicus regularly summons books which will attack you. Time could be taken to kill these as they have nearly no defence at all, but can hit very high.

His hardest attack is "book barrage", in which he sends several glowing books which will explode at the position you had when he sent them. Be sure to run away from your spot when he uses the attack, otherwise the books will explode and potentially deal over 600 damage!

Using protect from mage will help in the fight.

Sagittare

• Arrow rain - used just before he teleports to somewhere else in the room. He will shout "Back off!", then "Arrow rain!" just before he uses it. Be sure to dodge this attack by running away from your spot.
• Immobilize shot - will prevent your from moving.
• Slow shot - will make you move much slower

Night-gazer Khighorahk

Uses a magic attack and has a melee special attack where it forms a blue sphere around itself and then slams down on the ground potentially hitting 600+. Protect from magic will block the magic attack and the special attack is only within melee range so just walk one step away when the sphere is formed.

To be able to hit the Night-gazer, at least one of the four pillars in the corners of the room must be lit. The more pillars are lit, the more damage you can do. You will have to keep relighting them regularly as they often go out. Once the Night-gazer has been killed, it spawns a weaker version of itself which you have to kill but the pillars stay lit.

Shadow-forger Ihlakhizan

• The Shadow-forger starts to glow with a yellow pulsing light. While hitting very high, this attack also severely lowers your combat stats and is therefore essential to avoid. This can be done by running around one of the four pillars.
• Green splats are released, hitting everyone in the room. It is mage-based and the most common attack.
• A void appears, allowing a hand to snatch at you. This only occurs when standing outside of melee distance of the Shadow-forger.
• A yellow beam appears above the Shadow-forger's head, engulfing you in yellow light and damaging you.

Bal'lak the Pummeller

Bal'lak uses all three types of attack but will only use melee against the player he is currently focusing on. A meter at the top of the screen displays Bal'laks defence which will keep rising unless he stands within one square of the green portals that he summons. Bal'lak will regularly summon these portals and they must be avoided. If standing within one square of them, the portal deals rapid damage.

The easiest way to kill Bal'lak is too turn on any boosting prayers and use potions in the beginning of the fight as that is when Bal'lak's defence will be lowest. He will only focus on one player throughout the whole fight until they die so the tank is responsible for luring Bal'lak to the portals. This needs to be done quickly to ensure that his defence doesn't get too high, making the fight longer and longer. Keep your lifepoints high as the portals can rapidly deal high amounts of damage.
