Note Task X9 (Kill a dagannoth with Balmung) can also be completed under the lighthouse for any one not wishing/able to attempt the water birth island dungeon

Here's a confirmation image:

Additionally, it seems that chaos tunnel dagannoths do not count toward this task.

hardly shcoking that chaos tunnels dont work since the diaries are area based

It may be no great shock, but I see no harm in confirming rather than assuming.

True it can't hurt but it seems rather absurd to me to even suspect that killing a dagganoth with balmung in a dungeon that is nowhere near Fremminik Province for the Fremmink Province Area Achievement Diary. Afterall the whole mantra of the dairies is to get you to explore the area they relate too.

Your point is taken.

To me, it seems absurd to leave the possibility unexplored; particularly on a site that sees as much traffic as we do.

 

For clarity, I'm not ranting about how chaos tunnels should work for this task, or even claiming that I expected they would. I am simply confirming that they do not, so that website crew members can decide what to do with a complete set of facts rather than working with a partial deck and a few assumptions.
