So, you want to kill a Mith Dragon AND finish Otto's tasks?

[gein6]

Are you saying that in those 2 safespots, there is 100% no way to get damaged by mithril dragons? :roll:

 

 

 

Yes. I was watching people stand there and have no trouble at all. Make sure you don't attack the dragon to the north. The dragon to the north will attack when you first come in. After a while it should stop.

You WILL also need to have done the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest. You will need to do this quest to START the one handed spear 'mission'. When I asked him for information about 1 handed spears he told me to finish the quest FIRST before I could go on.

You don't need to do that quest to get into mith dragons, tho.

 

 

 

So far the best non-safespot (I assume they will be removed soon) way to kill them is to arch with a crossbow while protecting from range. The range armour stops magics attacks well, prayer goes for range attacks, good bolts (at least mith, preferably enchanted ruby) hurt it well and so on.

gr8 guide except if u can manage to get chewed bones(i dunno how yet i keep dieing lol) then the spirit doesnt come up. it only comes up with mangled bones

[vlad_the_old]

Nice guide.

 

 

 

Couple of notes...

 

 

 

You dont need to make the pyre boat in order to hunt the Mith dragons.

 

 

 

Using mangled bones in the pyre boat will cause the spirit to attack you, using chewed bones will give you a reward. Depending on the wood you use to make the boat the next X bones you bury will give you 300% experience. (Chewed bones are a rare drop).

 

 

 

God spells hit the dragons rather hard - better if you can use the charge spell as well.

 

 

 

Poison seems not to affect the green or mith dragons (nor the imps!)

 

 

 

You can range them at a lower lvl. Having an accumulator to pick most of your stuff up helps. If you range outside a safe spot - step back a couple of steps after the initial attack. The dragon will not follow you. This means you are only being attacked by mage and breath, rather than melee, range and breath.

 

 

 

As a rule Jagex are not keen on images from their site being posted on fan sites

Great Guide! I'm going to try this out.

Thank you for the information. I'll try to get different pictures. I added the pyre boat incase people want to finish doing all of Otto's tasks. Also, I'll add using the god spells and how to range.

[Infi]

Erm, I know Sasquatch is your account and you posted you would fix something based on a comment on that account. #-o

 

 

 

Anyways, on your topic title it says Killing Mithril Dragons and ACCESS to the Ancient Caverns. Why would you need information on how to make the spears and pyre logs?

[Blingkachi50]

to contruct the pyre thingy wt sort of bones do u need mangled or chewed because noone is sure atm

 

 

 

Doesn't matter either one works.

[dery75]

Amazing guide =D>

 

Im thinkign of going there myself with torag but im a little scared to die :lol:

[gein6]

I almost died there because of white screen. when i got back on ring of life saved me during the lag and i was in fally with 6 hit points

Oof. The safespot no longer works so you will need to bring some kind of food with you if you wish to stay alaive.

Good luck. They aren't that hard. I went there earlier and did ok and I was using melee.

[LordSmiloid]

Worth knowing, especially for lower-levels, is that you can also get mangled bones by searching corpses on the floor. Just be aware that they will randomly spawn a skeleton or spirit when searched, and the bones will still cause a spirit to attack you at the pyre ship.

[gein6]

ok, ill add that to the guide.

 

 

 

Thanks

[bigmoneyak]

sweet guide. Solved alot of questions for me.

[saber_blade222]

even with the new safespot taken away are there still palces to stand where no dragon will attack u? also i am thinking of doing hte slayer dart method, and will i be able to hit with a -29 attack bonus? i am able to with daggonoth kingsbut that's beacuse rex is really weak to magic. thanks and great guide again

[ZhouNing]

i might try your ways sometime

No matter where you stand a dragon will be able to attack you. You can stand in the spots on the map to where the dragon can't use melee but still ranges, mages, and shoots fire at you.

 

 

 

On slayer dart you can use mystic boots, gloves, and a mage arena cape and lower you attack bonus to around 15.

[gein6]

Fixed spelling and grammar.

[totalpwnage]

So you need fishing no matter what to get to mith drags? Or can you do it with just the 21 firemaking?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wanna try mith dragons, but I only have like 31 fishing or something like that. I'm lazy :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes, I'm pure. My friend went there and said he was able to only kill one, and I forgot what method he used. I know for sure though that he didn't use ruby/diamond bolts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: I just tried yesterday, and I only needed to do the firemaking thing to go down in the whirlpool. Just do the firemaking, and talk to the guy about the next part in firemaking. After that, it will allow you to go down into the whirlpool if you finish off the conversation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A god mitre is a great helmet to use for killing the drags. It gives +4 prayer and +4 mage defence/attack. Doesn't decrease any stats. If it isn't +4 prayer, then its +5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've been using a god cape instead of the arrow backpack, and whenever theres 3 stacks of bolts on the floor I'll telegrab one. I'd run in and take it if it wasn't so strong with melee :/. But the reason I use the god cape instead of the backpack is because of the mage defence and the fact that I haven't done Animal Magnatism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a pure, I was able to kill 2-3 dragons a trip. I used ruby bolts until it was down to about half hp, and then I switched to diamond. If I was low on sharks, about 4 sharks left, I'd just switch to diamond.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wore this:

 

 

 

Helm: Zammy Mitre

 

 

 

Amulet: Amulet of Fury

 

 

 

Cape: Saradomin Mage Arena Cape

 

 

 

Arrows: Ruby Bolts (e)

 

 

 

Weapon: Rune Crossbow

 

 

 

Body: Guthix Robe Top

 

 

 

Shield: Anti-dragon shield (Did I even need to say that?)

 

 

 

Legs: Black D'hide chaps

 

 

 

Gloves: Black D'hide Vambs

 

 

 

Boots: Ghostly Boots

 

 

 

Ring: Ring of Wealth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In my inventory, I would have:

 

 

 

Diamond Bolts (e)

 

 

 

1 Antifire Potion

 

 

 

1 Range Potion

 

 

 

3 Prayer Potions

 

 

 

22 Sharks

 

 

 

50 Airs

 

 

 

20 Laws

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Were I to have used a backpack, I would have replaced the airs+laws with a house teletab.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My mage defence was +73, prayer bonus +13, and my range bonus was about +132 or something like that. Seems to be quite effective for me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I was able to have more mage defence/attack, then I'd try maging the dragons. I'm definately NOT gonna try meleeing the drags, they would completely destroy me. I MIGHT try maging the drags, though, just for fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to your guide, I loved it. It helped me loads.

good guide... too bad i have none of the stats required!

Lol.

1) When meleeing them, range defense is useless. At close-range they don't use their ranged-base attack.

 

 

 

2) Veracing or Guthaning both work. You protect from magic and drink an antifire potion. Both of these combined blocks all of their dragonbreath attacks as well as their magic based attacks. Using this method the only damage you will take is from their melee attacks.

 

 

 

 

 

Otherwise nice job.

Interesting...

 

 

 

You used to be able to use verac and kill them by turning on mage protect and drinking a dose of antifire potion. Jagex said in an update that the firebreath will hit through now. The only way to keep you from being damaged by dragon breath is to use an Anti Dragon Shield and drink a dose of antifire.

 

 

 

Btw: Thanks :D
