- The fastest way to get to Tarn is to teleport to Tarn's Lair via a Slayer ring. This will bring you directly outside of the room with Tarn.
- The second quickest way to get there is to use the Minigame Group Finder teleport to Shades of Mort'ton (activity), and go south into Burgh de Rott, and use the Agility stile shortcut to climb over the fence to the west and over the mine cart into the Haunted Mine.
- The third way is to teleport to Canifis then going via the Myreque shortcut, which is the trapdoor behind the Canifis pub, to Burgh de Rott. There is an Agility shortcut between the town of Burgh de Rott and the Haunted Mine area.
To enter the lair, climb over the mine cart just south of the Zealot (featured in the Haunted Mine quest), and enter the haunted mine, then travel north and enter the lair.

Before you go gallavanting off into this dangerous dungeon, there are things you need to know. This lair is very dangerous, and it's guarded by various monsters and traps.
Directions
Follow this route to reach Tarn, but beware of traps!
There are numerous traps, monsters and passages within the lair.
Note: It is recommended that you have Auto Retaliate OFF whilst in the lair, because after disabling a wall trap, you don't want to run back across the spikes straight into the trap again.
| Trap/Feature | Failure result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Floor trap | You will be hit 7-8 hitpoints if you run over a floor trap | They are fairly obvious, having a big X across the floor tile. Right-click and search floor to disarm the trap. Another simple alternative is to just carefully walk around them. |
| Wall trap | You will be hit 7-10 hitpoints if you run past a wall trap | These are harder to see, but generally only occur in narrow passages, so check for them when you're in a narrow passage. |
| Log trap | You will be hit 15-20 hitpoints by a log trap, and knocked to a level below. | Log traps only occur on jumps to pillars. There is sometimes (but not always) a right-click Search floor which will disable the log trap near one of the walls. |
| Receding walls | You will be pushed by the walls, and knocked to a level below. | Occurs sometimes on slim ledges. Just wait till the trap moves back into the walls and run past it. |
| Passage | N/A | Passages lead to new areas in the lair. Following the more ornate doors (especially with water-features) will eventually lead you to Tarn Razorlor. |
Recommended Equipment
This is an ideal place to use Guthan's armour. If you don't own Guthan's set, then good Melee armour, a weapon, good food and 1-2 Prayer potions is recommended. Even if you do own Guthan's set, taking some food is a good idea because of the numerous traps within the lair.
Bank
From the entrance, travel as far east as you can and then north. It will cost 100 coins each time you use the bank. Some of the undead in the lair drop coins if you have forgotten 100 coins.
