Strategy

A practical step-by-step plan

Choose one or three

Start with Rex-only if the full room is too busy.

2

Enter safely

Avoid activating every king during the initial setup.

3

Keep kill order

Prevent overlapping respawns.

4

Use the downtime

Heal, restore and prepare before the next king.

What should I upgrade next?

Method-specific progression priorities

1

Iban's staff → Trident of the swamp

Improve the primary style first so dagannoth rex resolves with fewer switches.

Major upgrade
2

Complete the recommended style set: Trident of the swamp + Toxic blowpipe + Osmumten's fang

Add the remaining combat-style switches once dagannoth prime can be handled without losing position.

Moderate upgrade
3

Tumeken's shadow

Complete the Dagannoth Kings high-end set only after every required combat style has a reliable weapon.

Minor upgrade

Common mistakes
