Taverley Dungeon

Template:RSW

The Taverley Dungeon is the largest dungeon in RuneScape. The entrance to the dungeon is found to the south of Taverley and west of Falador.

Dungeon

Half of the dungeon can be explored without use of the Dusty key. There are many notable features in this first half, such as a Chaos druid circle at the northeast corner of the map and are killed for their valuable herb drops. Players can also find the Kinshra fortress and Lesser demons, which are popular to train on due to their relatively low defence. There is a pipe near the entrance of the dungeon, requiring 70 Agility to use and will drop them in the blue dragon room. A door separates the two halves, and will require a Dusty key to gain access to the second half.

To obtain the Dusty key, the player must venture into the Kinshra fortress and find the Jailer, who will drop a jail key upon death. The key can be used to open the two jail cells; open the south one and find Velrak the explorer. He will ask you if you want to go further into the dungeon; say yes and he will give you a Dusty key. Use the key on the door to open it.

The second half of the dungeon contains stronger monsters, mainly killed for Slayer tasks. The first room contains a mixed set of Blue dragons and Baby blue dragons, the former popular due to the price on their bones and hides. Following a path deeper into the dungeon will contain a fishing spot for Lava eels, used for Heroes Quest. The next room contains Black demons, popular with players training combat skills or slayer. A "developed" area can be found and contains Poison spiders, so a form of poison protection is recommended. A suspicious floor can be found near the poison spiders, requiring 80 Agility to use and will drop the player off near the entrance; this shortcut, like the pipe goes two ways. If players proceed towards the west, they can find two Black dragons along with the Obelisk of Fire. Going up the ladder will lead the player to the Obelisk of Water. If they went up north, they will find a large group of Hellhounds, popular with players seeking clue scrolls. Cerberus' Lair can be found in the hellhounds room, where players can fight Cerberus if they are on a hellhound or boss slayer task for it.
