Ello fellow posters of the Tip.It forums, I will be explainning the way to getting your first sceptre. NOTE: The topic is Guide to Getting Your First Skull Sceptre. Therefore, I did not add anything about the Security Stronghold in general because it's too broad of a topic, and Tip.It already has a guide of the stronghold under the link "general guides". After you click on Security Stronghold there would be a link to the map, where you can analyze it in greater detail. To start getting your sceptre you first fight the Minotaur, if you want easiest to hardest... Requirments for Minotaur: 20 strength 10 attack 5 defense 9 magic (if you're a mage) 15 range (if you're a ranger. Note: one Minotaur area has a fence, and Minotaur also drop iron arrows) enough hp to withstand the Minotaur (20 health is plenty) I personally didn't need food for the Minotaurs', but if you are a lower level, use shrimps. Go down the tunnel located in barbarian village (for more information on that, go to the Tip.It guide on the Security Stronghold located under General Guides), and then cross the barriers (from starting point: south 2 gates, east 2 gates) until you meet the Minotaur. These level 12 Minotaur* (check bestiary for more information) only have 10 health and are easy to kill. Minotaur drop the left right side of the sceptre. *there are also level 24 Minotaurs if you like more of a challenge Requirements for Flesh Crawlers: 25 strength 10 attack 10 defense (varies depending if you hit high) 9 magic (if you have high defense) 15 range (if you have food with you, with good arrows and good armor and equiment) health: enough to withstand the flesh crawlers (these hit pretty high if you have low defense) food: lower levels should definitely bring food (trout and salmon are sufficent enough) Once you are in the level two area, go south two gates and you'll see two flesh crawlers level 28*. These flesh crawlers have 25 hp (check the bestiary for more information). Flesh crawlers drop the bottom of the sceptre. *There are also level 48 flesh crawlers Requirements for Catablepon: 50 strength 30 attack (but I suggest getting 40 attack) 20 defense ( but I suggest getting 30 defense) 17 magic** (but getting it all the way to where you can hit max with fire bolt is highly suggested, but without it, it can still be completed) 30-40 range** health: enough to withstand the Catablepons (these hit really high for low levels, be prepared) food: tuna, swordfish, or lobster! Be prepared! (you may want to have a bulk amount of food because Catablepon take a long time to drop the bottom) When you are on the level 3 course, go north two gates, then east two gates and you'll find level 49 Catablepon*. These Catablepon are very agressive, and can use weaken (lower your strength level). Catablepon have 40 health (check the bestiary for more information). They drop the bottom of the sceptre. *There are also level 64 and level 68 Catablepon if you want more of a challenge **By having a high range and/or magic level and using it, the weaken spell from the Catablepon's weaken spell has no effect on you Requirments for Ankou: 60 strength 55 attack 40 defense health: high enough to withstand the Ankou (the higher the defense, the less you have to worry because Ankou are very strong) food: swordfish, swordfish, swordfish! (you low levels... and get many of them, Ankous' take a while before dropping the left) Once you are on the 4th level of the Stronghold, go North 4 gates. The you'll spy many level 75 Ankou*. These Ankou have 60 hp, and are really strong. Be prepared for this challenge. Ankou drop the left side of the sceptre. *There are also level 82 and level 86 Ankou for more of a challenge After you recieve all 4 parts, attach the bottom with the top part, then the left side with the right side. Then attach those two pieces together. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= After creating your sceptre, you can teleport to Barbarian Village for 5 times. After you use it for five times, it disinigrates, and you lose it. Use it wisely! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Bonuses: Attack Stab: 0 Slash: -1 Crush: +7 Magic: +4 Range: 0 Bonuses: Defense Stab: +2 Slash: +3 Crush: +1 Magic: +4 Range: 0 Other Bonuses Strength: +3 Prayer: 0 Best of luck, ~Bigmouthhero
