Death Plateau (location)



The Death Plateau is an elevated plane located in the southern Troll Country. The Trolls have taken up camp on the plateau, using it to launch raids at night on the nearby village of Burthorpe. In the Death Plateau quest the player is asked by Denulth, head of the Burthorpe Imperial Guard, to find another way up to the plateau, as the main path is heavily guarded. Several Thrower trolls watch the pass and attack any trespassers.

Through a Sherpa living in the mountains (Tenzing) it is learned that a secret path exists, leading from his house to the back of the troll camp. To get to his house one must walk north-west from Burthorpe, and turn south at the wounded soldier. The path from Tenzing's house is the only safe path leading to the Troll Country, as halfway it branches off into the mountainous region. This road requires Climbing boots to climb over rocks, which can be bought from Tenzing for 12 coins. You can also buy an upgraded pair called Rock climbing boots for 75,000 coins. The more dangerous route can be taken by following the main path up the plateau, however due to a large amount of Thrower trolls guarding this route it is recommended to use Protect from Missiles or to take the longer route. Also if your prayer is lower then 40, you can use a Fremennik Round Shield to lower damage to about 10-20 life points.

There is a very large number of Trolls on the Plateau, these include; Thrower Trolls, Mountain Trolls, and several higher ranking trolls. At the centre of the Plateau lies a gigantic Cooking pot where many unlucky adventurers and soldiers have met their ends. The Cooking pot is maintained by Ash and Dung, two troll cooks who often argue about the best methods of cooking humans for lunch.

This location is also visited during My Arm's Big Adventure, when the player has to search the cooking pot for a Goutweedy lump after a previous adventurer was cooked there.

Players who received a troll Slayer task often come here with a cannon, as it guarantees quick experience while being able to hide behind the tents there.

Including the other non-icy parts of the Troll Country, this place has been updated in March 15 2011.
