Soma2035 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've visited the Dagganoth Kings many times since it's release. This is a story of how I finally triumphed over them. ***************************************** If you already know what the Dagganoth Kings are, skip to the next line of asterisks. A bit far back in Runescape History, Jagex released an island known as Waterbirth. It was accessible through a boat from the Fremmenick Province. Various adventurers, heroes, legends flooded down to discover the new treasures, ranging from spined dagganoth hide armors to rockshell plate armor made from the gigantic rock crabs that dwelled within. This island lost it's novelty within a week, and few visited it hence. Until the next update, the Kings of the Dagganoths. A trio of the legendary Dagganoth Kings resided deep within the bowels of this cavern. Adventurers poured down by the thousands, in an attempt to retrieve the legendary rings, seercull bow, mud battlestaff, and the coveted Dragon Axe from the lairs of the mighty beasts: Dagganoth Prime, Dagganoth Rex, and Dagganoth Supreme. Dagganoth Supreme was at the entrance, showering the would-be slayers with deadly barbs. Dagganoth Prime streamed bolts of powerful water magic in, clearing the way for Dagganoth Rex to enter the fray, who promptly smashed adventurers back and forth. All the while, their spinolyp guardians launched a constant barrage of lesser spines and jets of water to discourage the adventurers further. ***************************************** The first time I entered the lair of the Kings, I was swept away by the armies, desperately trying to retrieve these valuable items. I was weaker then, fit for not much but to run around in a frenzy, hoping to grab some leftover items. It was not a pretty sight. People were dying, left and right, leaving valuable pieces of armor all over the floor. With the use of the potions and healing supplies they left I could remain alive long enough to collect some of the rubbish they left before escaping with a teleportation spell, vowing not to return until I was ready to confront these Dagganoths. Several months later, I gathered a small group of my closest friends, prepared for a more organized assault on the Kings. Shiny sets of rune, glowing sets of mystic, and glittering dragonhide armor donned, we set off to fight. The whole fight lasted 15 seconds, in which we were skewered, blasted, and crushed. Out of the 7 who went, 2 survived long enough to hit their ectophial, our emergency escape button. Another few weeks later we collected a larger force. After researching through tip.it forums, we found methods to destroy the dagganoths safely. We tried this method three times. - About 10 people rushed into the lair. - I led Dagganoth Rex away to the safespot. - About 3-4 people would die taking down supreme. - Prime was defeated soundly as Dagganoth Rex was trapped and Supreme down. - Supreme returned, and the remaining warriors attacked him. -Prime returned halfway through and killed the rest. We killed about 15 kings each trip. Them defeating Supreme + Prime, and me defeating Rex 10+ times each trip, before teleporting out to return everyone's items. After three tries, we sort of decided this wasn't the best idea. So the Dagganoth Kings had peace. For a while. I met another great Dagganoth King hunter, by the name of Leesters, offered me a chance to see how to battle the kings properly. Another good friend, Trojann2 came along as well. We fought them perfectly for an hour and a half, killing the kings without getting a scratch for the most part. Yet no treasures were to be found that day. My teammates seemed shocked when I mentioned I never got any of these legendary treasures from the Kings before. So today, I was back to barrows, in lack of a proper team to hunt the Dagganoths. Suddenly, another friend of mine calls me to help his team hunt dagganoths. They promised me they wouldn't leave after 10 minutes like my clan always does. So I agreed to go, and they were true to their word. They didn't leave after 10 minutes, they left after 4. Leaving me alone to deal with these three powerhouses. Great... Well, using all the lessons learned from past battles, I carefully choose a position and continually slay Dagganoth Rex for about an hour and a half. Suddenly, I spot a strange object on the floor.
