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.

🟒 Beginner

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
🟑 Intermediate

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
πŸ”΄ Advanced

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.
