What it is
Three dagannoth kings share one lair under Waterbirth Island, and each is weak to exactly one combat style β the fight that teaches you to switch gear.
The rings (Berserker, Archers, Seers, Warrior) are the drops everyone is here for.
The kings
- Dagannoth Rex β attacks with melee, weak to magic. Protect from Melee
- Dagannoth Prime β attacks with magic, weak to ranged. Protect from Magic
- Dagannoth Supreme β attacks with ranged, weak to melee. Protect from Missiles
Hitting a king with the wrong style barely scratches it β check the setup cards below.
Getting there
Take a Waterbirth teleport or the boat from Rellekka, then head down through the dungeon to the kings. Bring a friend for the door the first time.
Learning the kings
Around 80 in every combat style.
- Go with a team, or kill one king at a time and let the others wander
- Bring a weapon for each style: a trident for Rex, a crossbow for Prime, a whip for Supreme
- Pray against the king you're fighting β they hit hard without it
Trips with switches
Around 90 combat, Rigour and Augury help a lot.
- Carry the switches in your inventory β the Inventory Setup button below copies the whole layout
- Kill Rex first: he's the one that punishes mistakes most
- Brews and restores, not sharks β trips run longer
Solo tribrid
99s and endgame gear.
- Shadow for Rex, Twisted bow for Prime, Scythe for Supreme β each dies in well under a minute
- Tag the bank with the Bank tag button so resupplying is one click
Stack all three in the lure spot and kill them in order: Rex, Prime, Supreme.
