Basilisk Knights have a combat level of 204, they are 300 hit points, and they mostly use magic and melee as attack style with a maximum of 20 for both.

They also have a special attack, but you will be able to fend it off easily as long as you have your auto-retaliate. These are very aggressive monsters whose main weaknesses are crush and range attack.

Basilisk Knight Location

Jormungand’s Prison

The fastest way to get yourself here is using the Fremennik Sea Boots teleport and then traveling with Haskell, located on the most western dock of Rellekka.

Your next best option is using a water-birth teleport, which you can do on the Lunar Spell Book at level 72 magic. 

You can also use a water-birth portal inside a player’s own house. Additionally, you can use an enchanted lyre teleport to Rellekka and then head northwest to find Haskell.

Your final option to get to the Prison is by getting yourself to the Rellekka house portal and then run north. You can do this by moving your house to Rellekka for 10,000 coins along with level 30 construction. 

It’s highly recommended to use a Range armor setup because it is very easy to a safe spot and kill Basilisks inside the Prison. Melee is not all that bad, but since you will need to bank the monsters’ melee attacks, it’s going to be a little more demanding since you will have to look out for your health and prayer points. 

The marked spot is a safespot if you are ranging, or encounter a superior monster.

  • On a quick note, remember that you are not allowed to use a cannon on this location. 

Once you are inside the Prison, there will be two rooms where you can kill Basilisk Knights, both located on the southern side; you will get the most kills in the one on the western side. As you run towards your preferred location, turn on your quick prayers, and find a safe spot as soon as possible. 

Go ahead and drink your boosting potions, turn on your auto retaliate, and click on the monsters to attack them. 

When you need to pick up the loot, use the Telegrab spell, and this will enable you to pick the item without leaving your safe spot.
