Dagannoth Kings (DKs) are a group of three powerful bosses located in the Waterbirth Island dungeon in Old School RuneScape. These bosses are named Dagannoth Rex, Dagannoth Prime, and Dagannoth Supreme, and they all have different combat styles and weaknesses. Fighting them can be challenging, but it is also a great way to earn a lot of gold quickly. This guide will explain the requirements, gear, inventory setups, and combat strategies needed to defeat the Dagannoth Kings efficiently.

Mechanics

Before you start fighting the DKs, you should know they are unlike most RuneScape bosses. They are not located in a single room or area but in a series of interconnected tunnels that require some navigation. Also, each DK has a unique weakness you should exploit to deal maximum damage. Here is a breakdown of each dagannoth king:

• Dagannoth Rex: This boss has a melee attack style and is weak to crush attacks. He also has a special attack that can drain your prayer points, so bring some prayer potions to restore your prayer.
• Dagannoth Prime: This boss has a magic attack style and is weak to ranged attacks. He also has a special attack that can hit you with a powerful magic attack that deals massive damage, so keep moving to avoid it.
• Dagannoth Supreme: This boss has a ranged attack style and is weak to melee attacks. He also has a special attack that can hit you with a barrage of ranged attacks, so stay close to him to avoid it.

Equipment

To fight the DKs effectively, you will need suitable equipment to protect you from their attacks and deal maximum damage. Here are some items you should consider bringing:

Tri-Brid Med-Level Setup

• Abyssal whip: This weapon is potent against all three DKs and has a special practical attack that can hit multiple targets.
• Dragon dagger: This weapon has a special practical attack that can hit a single target with massive damage.

Inventory Setup

When preparing to fight the Dagannoth Kings in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), having the right inventory setup can make all the difference. Here is an efficient inventory setup to consider:

• 2-3 Prayer potions (4): Protection prayers are crucial for surviving the DKs’ attacks. Bringing 2-3 prayer potions will ensure you maintain protection prayers throughout the fight.
• 2-3 Super combat potions (4): Super combat potions boost your Attack, Strength, and Defence by five levels each. This will help you deal more damage and take less damage from the DKs.
• 1-2 Ranging potions (4): If you plan to use ranged attacks, bringing 1-2 ranging potions will help boost your Ranged level, allowing you to hit more accurately and with more damage.
• Restock of food: Sharks or better are recommended for the DKs, as they heal a significant amount of health per bite. Bring enough food to survive the fight, and consider restocking at the bank if necessary.
• Teleport out (optional): If you need to leave the DKs’ lair quickly, consider bringing a teleport out option, such as a teleport tab or an amulet of glory.

With this inventory setup, you will be well-prepared to take on the Dagannoth Kings and increase your chances of earning 3M+ GP per hour.

Earning 3M+ GP Per Hour

Fighting the DKs can be very profitable, especially if you can defeat them quickly and efficiently. Here are some tips to help you earn 3M+ GP per hour:

• Kill all three DKs: Each DK can drop valuable items, such as dragon axes, berserker rings, and seers’ rings. By killing all three DKs, you increase your chances of getting a valuable drop.
• Use a cannon: If you have a dwarf cannon, you can set it up in the DKs’ lair to help you kill them faster. This will also increase the number of kills you can get per hour.
• Use prayer potions sparingly: They can be expensive, so try to use them sparingly. Only use them when your prayer points are low or you must protect yourself from the DKs’ special attacks.
• Pick up all drops: Small drops, such as bones and hides, can add up over time. Make sure to pick up all drops and sell them at the Grand Exchange for extra profit. If you have completed the Fremenik Elite Diary, Dagannoth bones are now noted instead.

Combat Strategy

Once your inventory is set up, it’s essential to have an efficient combat strategy when fighting the Dagannoth Kings in OSRS. Here are some tips to help you defeat them and earn 3M+ GP per hour:

• Using Protection Prayers: Each DKs has a different attack style – Dagannoth Prime uses magic attacks, Dagannoth Rex uses melee attacks, and Dagannoth Supreme uses ranged attacks. Use the appropriate protection prayer for the DK you are fighting to protect yourself.
• Switching Between the Kings: The DKs will periodically switch positions, so be prepared to switch between them quickly. This will help you maximize your damage and avoid taking unnecessary damage.
• Using Ranged and Melee Attacks: Depending on your combat stats, you can use ranged or melee attacks to fight the DKs. Combining both can effectively deal with the damage and take them down quickly.
• Using the Dwarf Multicannon: If you have a dwarf multi cannon, you can set it up in the DKs’ lair to help you kill them faster. This will also increase the number of kills you can get per hour.
• Taking Advantage of Safe Spots: There are a few safe spots in the DKs’ lair where you can stand and avoid taking damage. Learn where these safe spots are and use them to your advantage.

Getting to the Dagannoth Kings

You must first get to their lair to earn 3M+ GP per hour from the Dagannoth Kings in OSRS. Here’s how to do it:

• Take the boat to Waterbirth Island and enter the dungeon: You can take the boat to Waterbirth Island by talking to Jarvald in the Rellekka marketplace. Once you arrive, head to the dungeon entrance in the island’s southeastern part.
• Run past the Dagannoths to the ladder leading to the Dagannoth Kings’ lair: Once inside the dungeon, you must run past the Dagannoths to reach the ladder leading to the DKs’ lair. If you have a high Agility level, you can use the shortcuts to avoid most Dagannoths.
• Climb the ladder and enter the lair: Once you reach it, climb down it and enter the Dagannoth Kings’ lair. You will find the three DKs in the central chamber.

It’s important to note that the dungeon is a multi-combat area, so be prepared to fight multiple Dagannoths at once. If uncomfortable with this, consider bringing a friend or two to help clear the path to the DKs’ lair.
