Description30 years prior to the fateful day a mighty adventurer awakened Elvarg from her slumber, Crandor was a thriving and very much alive island, with a great tradition of mages and adventurers. The history of Crandor is a bold one, enough so that many a Crandorian earned the right to be part of the Champions' Guild! The Crandor we know today is very different from that of the past and there are so many questions that remain unanswered - your chance to uncover the secrets of the past starts with Dragon Slayer II.

  • Teleport to your house, then use the portal nexus and press B to get to Draynor Manor. Drop your candle.
  • Make your way to Ava in Draynor Manor. (Chat 3)
  • Use your glassblowing pipe on your dragonstone and use the inert locator orb on Ava to get a locator orb.
  • Teleport to your house, then use the Spiritual Fairy Tree code BKR.
A map of possible key piece locations, which splits Mort Myre Swamp into 6 sections, starting at the BKR fairy ring, then further subdivides sections past that.
  • Use the locator to find the buried key piece; the location is randomised every time the player resets the speedrun.
  • The closest teleport to most of the dig spots is the BKR fairy ring. CKR and BIP are marginally faster to get to one dig spot each, but it's not worth using them. ALQ can save 30 seconds getting to a single dig spot, the leftmost magenta one.
    • Start at BKR and feel your locator device.
    • If you get north-east, it will always be the lone purple spot that you need to cross the bridge to get to.
    • If you get south-west, south, or south-east, go to the center of the subdivided area and scan again. For example, if you got west, go to the center of the blue subdivision and scan there again. If you get west again, you've narrowed it down to a single dig spot.
    • If you get east, you want to figure out if going to ALQ would be faster. To do this, move a bit south-east to the center of the black subdivision and scan. If it says north-east, go back to the BKR fairy ring and teleport to ALQ. Otherwise, run south-east and get to the center of the magenta subdivision.
  • Teleport to your house, then use the portal nexus and press K.
  • At the bank, deposit the seal of passage, locator orb, glassblowing pipe, spade, and ectophial.
    • You can bank at the eastern stall even without a seal of passage.

  • Make your way to Brundt the Chieftain. (Chat 4)

  • Defeat Vorkath.
    • Use ruby bolts (e) until he has 150 hp, then switch to diamond bolts (e).
    • The death spawn only deals around 20 damage - you can shoot it with a bolt or just tank it.
    • Near the end of the fight, start moving to the north side of the arena.
  • Climb over the ice chunks in the north of the crater and walk along the path to the north-west of the island to enter the laboratory.
  • Pull the lever in the south-west section, then run to the room on the east wall.
  • Search the stone chest for a dragon key piece and an ancient key.
  • Teleport to your house, then use the ornate jewellery box; Press 6 to teleport to the Barbarian Outpost.
  • Go to the Ancient Cavern by running south to the whirlpool.
  • Descend the stairs and run south to another set of stairs which lead to the to the mithril dragon area.

  • At the bank, deposit your inventory and withdraw ranged combat supplies.
    • Bring one house tab to teleport out after Galvek.
    • Bring all three types of bolts. It is the best damage on average to use runite bolts for all of the weaker dragons up until the black dragon, then switch to ruby and diamond bolts (e).
    • Ruby bolts (e) are stronger until each dragon is at about 150hp, at which point diamond bolts (e) become stronger.
    • Bring an antivenom for the adamant dragon.
    • Leave four spaces open for the ship ride.
  • Talk to the Sirsal Banker and get kicked out to Rellekka.

    • Starting with the black dragon, switch to ruby and diamond bolts (e).
  • Kill the black, steel, and brutal red dragons that arrive on the ship one at a time.
    • When Galvek does a casting animation, run away from your current location.
    • Use protect from melee and stand in melee distance for the black and steel dragons, then switch back to protect from magic.
  • Kill the mithril, adamant, and rune dragons that arrive on the ship one at a time.
    • These three dragons have a melee, ranged, magic, and dragonfire attack.
    • The adamant dragon also has two special attacks:
      • A ranged attack with the Blood Forfeit effect (hits through Protect from Missiles).
      • A poison attack that splashes and lands on nearby squares dealing lots of damage. Drink antivenom to lessen the damage.
    • The rune dragon also has two special attacks:
      • A ranged attack with the Life Leech effect (hits through Protect from Missiles).
      • An electric attack that hits nearby squares and arcs around the player, dealing rapid damage.
  • Kill Galvek - he has four phases that have 300 hitpoints each.
    • Keep avoiding his ground-targeted fireballs.
    • Turn your prayers back on after his pink dragonfire knocks them off.
      • Setting your quick prayers to Protect from Magic and Eagle Eye is beneficial to counter this attack.
    • Use Protect from Magic in phase 1, use Protect from Missiles in phases 2, 3 and 4.
      • Phase 1: Drops eight fire traps- don't get near them or you will be hit for all your health. Stay along the north side of the ship, one square directly south of Galvek, and run two squares south from your location to avoid the fireball, and return to your original position once the attack has failed to hit you.
      • Phase 2: Launches transparent projectile which drains stats, especially run energy.
      • Phase 3: Summons waves from either the north or south end, avoid them by standing in the gap. Turn off auto retaliate to not get pulled away from the gap.
