Dagannoth kings

A trio of players take on the mighty Dagannoth Kings.

Dagannoth Kings are a trio of bosses found in the Waterbirth Island Dungeon, known for their dragon axe, berserker ring, archers ring, warrior ring and seers ring drops. Their bones are also valuable, making them consistently rewarding to kill.

The Kings

The Kings reside on the sixth floor (the deepest) in Waterbirth Island Dungeon.

• Dagannoth Prime: The Dagannoth King who uses magical attacks. Whenever he is attacking, Protect from Magic must be on at all costs as Prime can hit up to 50 damage and easily kill in two hits. Prime is weak to ranged attacks.
• Dagannoth Rex: The Dagannoth King who uses melee attacks. He is extremely easy to deal with, as he can be either binded or lured to the edges of the islet where he can get stuck easily.
• Dagannoth Supreme: The Dagannoth King who uses ranged attacks. Supreme is also easy to deal with, hitting harder than Rex but lower than Prime. Supreme's attacks can hit multiple players if they are facing his direction.

Equipment

Prayer bonus is essential for Dagannoth Kings, and setups differ from player to player. It is best to try out DKs with another person and limit risk. Once you are comfortable, you will be able to modify your setup to your own style. It is recommended to prioritize ranged defence over melee and magical defence when choosing your armour. Prayer bonus should be your second priority after ranged defence.

A tribrid setup means a single player using Magic, Ranged and Melee to kill all three Dagannoth Kings. It is only recommended for people who can afford good enough equipment to be able to kill all Kings fast enough. If the player is not experienced, an alternative to attacking all three kings is to have another person targeting Rex, while the player targets Prime and Supreme. The person targeting Rex may help defeat Prime/Supreme if needed.
Enter with Protect from Magic activated, and get Supreme as close to the ladder as possible before killing him with Piety; if Prime is a safe distance away and Supreme is very close to the ladder, you can use Protect from Missiles. This can be done by climbing the ladder up and down until he has been lured. (Otherwise, Prime will aggro you, necessitating Protect from Magic and tanking Supreme's hits, which will drain your supplies.) Afterwards, safespot and kill Rex, and since Prime will be on you, keep Protect from Magic on. Lastly, go north-east and kill Prime. The optimal spot to kill him is denoted by rocks on the ground in triangle formation.
An alternate strategy is to follow the same procedure up to Prime (i.e. kill Supreme and then Rex), but get him to as low health as possible, then wait in the east for Rex to respawn. Kill Rex again, finish off Prime, then go kill Supreme.
