The dark totem base is an item obtained from monsters found within the Catacombs of Kourend (excluding ghosts). All Superior slayer monsters encountered in the Catacombs are guaranteed to drop a dark totem piece.
This item can be combined with the dark totem middle and the dark totem top to create the dark totem, which is used to reach Skotizo, a demon that lurks beneath the Catacombs.
Players must assemble the totem if they wish to receive further totem pieces from monsters within the Catacombs.
Dropping monsters[]
The drop rate of a dark totem piece (excluding superior slayer monsters and Skotizo) is determined by the number of hitpoints the monster has. The exact formula is
