In this guide, we will cover the basic aspects involved in getting to Steel Dragons, including the recommended setups for both Melee and Mage.

Steel Dragons

Let’s talk about Steel Dragons first. They are level 246 in the Brimhaven Dungeon and level 274 at the Catacombs of Kourend. Their max hits stand at 22 and 24 respectively for Melee, and they can hit up to 50 with their dragon fire breath. 

Steel Dragons are weak to stab and magic attacks, and they are also fairly weak to certain dragonbane weapons, including the Dragon Hunter Lance and the Dragon Hunter Crossbow.

When it comes to deciding which combat style to use, it is advised to pick Melee first as long as you have some D+ attack and if you are also using the Dragon Hunter Lance or the Abyssal Whip. 

If this is not your case, going with a magic setup is better because it does a lot more damage per second, although it is a little more expensive.

Melee Setup

This is the recommended setup for Melee, focusing on the strength to speed up your kills. There is some good replacement included in case you can get your hands on the first option.

· Slayer helm. A black mask will also do the job, but if you can’t get either of them, the Helm of Neitiznot is your best option, followed by the Serp Helm and Obsidian Helm.

· Amulet of Torture. You can opt for an Amulet of Fury or an Amulet of Strength.

· Bandos Chestplate. The Fighter Torso and the Obsidian Platebody are still good picks. The Mon’s Robes are your best next option.

· Bandos Tassets. The Obsidian Platelegs, Proselyte, Barrows, and Dragon Platelegs will also be helpful.

· Primordial Boots. The Primordial is your best option when it comes to boots, but either the Dragon Boots or the Guardian Boots will do the job just fine. Worst case scenario, you can bring Granite Boots.

· Ferocious Gloves. The Barrows, Dragon, and Rune Gloves make for good replacements.

· Avernic Defender. You can also bring a Dragonfire Shield or an Anti-dragon shield.

· Dragon Hunter Lance. Both the Grhrazi Rapier and Zamarokian Hasta are equally great options.

· Infernal Cape. The Fire Cape will be your next best option, followed by the Mythical Cape.

· Berserker Ring. The Berserker is the ideal choice for your ring slot. The best next option is a Brimstone Ring.

· Rada’s Blessing 4. Any God Blessing will work too.

Steel Dragon Location

Brimhaven Dungeon

The quickest way to the Steel Dragons is by using the one-time teleport scroll and running west to the dungeon. However, to use the dungeon, you will need 5,000 trading sticks to buy from around 50,000 coins.

The other option is using a Brimhaven Teleport tab and then head south. The next best option is by using the Fairy Ring code CKR and then running northwest.

Catacombs of Kourend

To get to this location, you will have to complete the Client of Kourend quest beforehand.

The first way to get to the Catacombs is by unlocking the Teleport to Kourend spell, which requires level 69 of Magic, or you can also use a Kourend Portal. Still, you first you will need to get the Transportation Incantations book from the Gran Library in Arceuus.

Both options will teleport you right next to the statue to enter the catacombs.

Another way to get there is by using the Redirection Scroll that you get from the Nightmare Zone; it requires level 25 construction.

One of the final ways to get to the Catacombs of Kourend is to go to Port Sarim and then talk to Veos on the most southeastern dock. He’ll take you to the Piscarilius House, and then all you will have to do is head west to reach the Great Kingdom of Kourend.
