The abyssal tentacle is a weapon which requires 75 Attack to wield. It is created by combining a kraken tentacle with an abyssal whip. It is an upgraded variant of the whip, having a +8 increase in Slash and +4 increase in Strength over its predecessor. It also has a 25% chance per hit to poison the opponent, which starts at 4 damage. With regard to 4 tick one-handed weapons, the +90 slash bonus of the abyssal tentacle is second only to the +94 slash bonus of the Blade of Saeldor.

The abyssal tentacle can be created by using a kraken tentacle on an abyssal whip. Once created, the weapon will degrade after 10,000 hits, consuming the whip and leaving only the tentacle. When using the items on each other there will be a warning message notifying the player that this process is irreversible and the abyssal tentacle is not tradeable.

If the abyssal tentacle is not protected upon death, it will fully degrade into a kraken tentacle. However, if it is protected on death, it will remain in its regular state as the abyssal tentacle. In addition, the abyssal tentacle does not stack in the bank, regardless of the number of charges the abyssal tentacles have.

Using a Shattered relics variety ornament kit on an abyssal tentacle will change its appearance into that of an abyssal tentacle (or).

Degradation

A player attaches a kraken tentacle to an abyssal whip.

Due to the volatile nature of the kraken tentacle, the abyssal tentacle degrades as it is used. Each hit costs 132.60, costing up to 198,895.80 per hour. After 10,000 hits with the weapon (400 minutes of continuous combat), it will degrade and consume the abyssal whip, leaving the player with only the kraken tentacle. If the player has a full inventory, the kraken tentacle will be left equipped in the weapon slot, useless and invisible.

Players can combine the charges of two abyssal tentacles. One fully charged abyssal tentacle is worth 10,000 charges, but by adding additional abyssal tentacles (not kraken tentacles), it can reach a maximum of 20,000 charges. This action will destroy the other abyssal tentacle, making this action effectively cost a kraken tentacle as well. This feature can be very useful in PvM situations, where players may use hundreds of charges through several boss fights.
