King Black Dragon

How to get there

A free method to get to the KBD lair is to teleport to ::44s, then run east to the caged area, go down the ladder, and pull the lever.

Note: You will have to travel through the Wilderness to reach the boss. Only take items you are willing to potentially lose to a PKer.

Instances

If someone is already killing KBD when you enter the arena, do not worry. You can right-click the lever in the arena and create your own instance to fight KBD privately.

Gear and inventory recommendations

KBD is an easy boss and can even be semi-AFKed if you use a Crossbow with a Dragonfire shield or Ward setup, along with an Extended Antifire potion.

You should always use an Antifire potion, as even if you are using an antifire shield, you will still take small amounts of damage. This can be fully mitigated by using the potion.

Example inventory

Bring: extended antifire potion, bastion/super combat, sanfews (for poison and prayer)

Example inventory set up with brews in case you are attacked by a pker on the way to KBD's lair

Melee/Range

If using Ranged attacks

• Stand a few tiles away from KBD and attack.
• You do not need to use any protection prayers.

Crossbow example setup. Use dragon ruby (e) for first 50% of kill and dragon diamond (e) for final 50%
