The Chaos Temple (AKA Zamorak Temple) in the Wilderness is a temple of Zamorak located around level 11 Wilderness, north of Varrock. The easiest way of getting there is using a burning amulet. The entire building is near-completely surrounded by molten lava. It contains many spawns of bones. Free players may use these bone respawn points at a lower Prayer level to raise Prayer, especially if the player has low Combat and cannot efficiently raise Prayer from killing monsters such as Hill Giants.
For members, a hunting location with black salamanders can be found north-east of the temple. The temple itself also becomes significantly more dangerous in members' worlds, as it is populated by numerous elder chaos druids that can deal hefty damage and frequently teleport players to them, making escape very hard if multiple druids are attacking a player. Many zombie pirates also spawn around the temple, frequently engaging the druids.
The Chaos Temple is a dangerous location. Apart from being a multi-combat area, a nearby volcano constantly shoots out flaming rocks that do minor damage to anyone nearby.
This location has been used historically as a place to mount ambushes, due to its popularity as a Prayer recharge point and as there is only one entrance or exit to the temple. This gave large groups the advantage over players trapped within the lava moat, as it was difficult to escape a deliberate attack by running. It was also a very popular place for 'death matches'—a set battle between two individuals with certain rules and handicaps.
The pattern on the floor hints that the temple may once have been dedicated to Zaros, which is plausible given that many of his fortresses and outposts in the Second Age were in what is now the Wilderness, and were destroyed and/or aligned to different gods during and after the God Wars.
Simon can usually be found near the entrance or in the lava splash area selling team capes 9, 19, 29, 39, and 49 with the teardrop pattern.
