Cerberus

Cerberus is a level 318 hellhound boss that is located in its lair, deep beneath the Taverley Dungeon in the cave entrance in the northeast part of the hellhound area which is found beyond the poisonous spiders. Three are guarded by the Key Master, where they are contained behind three iron gates.

Cerberus requires both a Slayer level of 91 to kill and a slayer task of Cerberus itself or hellhounds. It is the only monster to drop primordial, eternal and pegasian crystals, which can be attached to the Dragon boots, Infinity boots and Ranger boots respectively, providing best-in-slot boots for melee (the Primordial boots), magic (the Eternal boots), and ranged (Pegasian boots). In addition, it is also able to drop a Smouldering stone, which when combined with a dragon axe or dragon pickaxe can add a "heat element" to the tools, allowing the dragon axe to become an infernal axe and the dragon pickaxe to become an infernal pickaxe.

If a player is currently fighting the boss, a line of fire will spawn between the entrance and the boss; stepping over this will deal 5 damage each way. Just like the Corporeal Beast, if the player who is fighting Cerberus leaves the arena, it will return to full health.

If a player is killed by Cerberus, their items will drop where they died. Players should be aware that if they die after completing their assignment, they will be unable to retrieve their items, as entrance to Cerberus' Lair requires a Slayer assignment.

A dwarf multicannon cannot be set up inside Cerberus' Lair; if attempted, you will receive the message: "You cannot place the cannon here, it would melt".

Trivia

 * In Greek and Roman mythology, Cerberus is a multi-headed hellhound with a serpent's tail, a mane of snakes, and a lion's claws, guarding the entrance of the Greek underworld to prevent the dead from escaping and the living from entering. This reflects the area around Cerberus as it guards the rivers that take souls to the Underworld.
 * Cerberus stands on a trapdoor as a reference to the book 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'.
