Sarachnis Location (Forthos Dungeon)
To get to the Forthos Dungeon, you have to enter the Forthos Ruin in the Western Hosidius in Zeah.
You may also use the Kharedst’s Memoirs by the Lancalliums(client of kourend quest), Xerics talisman, spirit tree patch which requires level 83 farming, or the skills necklace woodcutting guild teleport which requires 60 WC or 75% of Hosidius favor. You may also use the scroll of redirection Hosidius house teleport tab, which requires 25 Construction. It’s recommended to just use the Xeric’s Talisman.
In the dungeon, there are different kinds of rooms, such as the Spider Den, Sarachnis, Grubby Chest, Temple Library, Altar of the Sun, Catacombs Entrance, Crypt of the Moon, Sacred Bone Burner, and the Scorched Grotto.
To get to Sarachnis without completing tasks in the dungeon, you have to go southeast to the Spider Den then down to Sarachnis. When you open the first door, it will automatically close behind you. You cannot open it anymore without a key. You also need to bring a slashing weapon as spiderwebs block your path, and you need it to destroy these webs.
