A wall beast is a Slayer monster that requires level 35 Slayer to kill. A Spiny helmet or Slayer helmet is required to start fighting one; without these helmets, a player will be grabbed and hurt without a chance to retaliate. Players without 5 Defence will not be assigned these as 5 Defence is required to wear the helmet. This monster is not very popular, due to the fact that its drops are poor with the exception of the mystic hat. It is found only in the Lumbridge Swamp Caves. A light source is required, as is a rope if the caves have not been visited before.

This creature is infamous for surprising, and sometimes killing, low-level players who are traversing through the Lumbridge Swamp Caves. Wall beasts can be avoided when running by starting from a tile adjacent to the hole, thus skipping over the tile in front of the hole. Wall beasts can be a good source of Guam leaf as it is the only herb they drop.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Players must wear a Spiny helmet or Slayer helmet whilst fighting wall beasts, otherwise they will grab the player by the head and slam them against the wall, removing up to 18 hitpoints.

If players wear a spiny helmet, the grabbing attack will fail, allowing them to be fought normally. A wall beast's maximum hit on a player wearing a spiny helmet is 4.

The spiny helmet is only required to initiate combat with a wall beast. Once it has started attacking normally, it can no longer grab the player's head, allowing a black mask to be used.

The wall beast does not count as a large monster and therefore the dragon halberd's special attack only hits once.

The best location to slay these is in the south-west corner of the dungeon where there are two spawns located close to one another. It is easy and effective to simply run back and forth between each spawn after completing a kill.

In addition, the beast located immediately by the entrance can be forced to respawn by exiting and re-entering the dungeon, making it an effective choice as well.

Alternatively, if a player begins an uninterruptible animation during the death animation of the wall beast, it will respawn instantly after the animation completes. Some examples are:

• Performing any Cape of Accomplishment emote.
• Stroking your pet cat.
• Picking up ammo which has fallen under the Hole in the wall.

Despite their relatively high level, wall beasts have a low max hit and can easily be killed by a player with low combat.

Training Tips

• A player can "reset" the wall beast spawn by quickly climbing up the rope of the cavern and then back down—this is much faster than waiting for the wall beast to respawn by itself.
• As long as you don't move away from the tile in front of the wall beast, it will not attempt to grab you again, so it is safe to change to better headgear.
• Remember to walk, not run. You will run right past them!
• Killing one Wall Beast will reset the spawn on the others, so place yourself near two different holes if not using the rope or animation tricks described above.
• A light source is required to fight Wall beasts. A Bullseye lantern is optimal, as an open light source (such as a candle or a torch) can ignite dangerous swamp gas, resulting in an explosion which deals heavy damage and extinguishes the light source.
• Players may wish to bring an antipoison in case they accidentally attack a cave slime or a cave crawler, which are poisonous.
