The Temple of Ikov is a dungeon underneath Hemenster. The Temple of Ikov quest does not need to be started to access the dungeon, however a pendant of lucien is required to pass through the gates north-west of the southern entrance during the quest; it is not required after completing the quest. The main entrance to the dungeon is located south of the Ranging Guild and secondary entrance inside the house in McGrubor's Wood requires a shiny key.

</mapframe> The dungeon is also the only place that contains the Boots of lightness (Except through Perdu). Players must bring a Knife or a Slash weapon, as well as a Light source, and go down the stairs near the entrance of the dungeon. Players must slash the web to collect the boots on the other side of the small room, which will lower weight by 4.535 kg when equipped.

The Temple of Ikov is the site of the only remaining temple of Armadyl in Gielinor, on the other side of the dungeon, and is inhabited by the Guardians of Armadyl. This is also where the Staff of Armadyl was located. The guardians serve to protect the Staff of Armadyl, a very powerful staff used by Zamorak to banish Zaros at the end of the Second Age.

Trivia

The former KBD Lair, visible by using the oculus orb.

• Originally, when RuneScape 2 was released, the King Black Dragon Lair was mapped by the Temple of Ikov. It was later changed due to safespotting. It still exists in-game, although it cannot be reached by any means and has no purpose. Players who are in the icy area of the Temple of Ikov can see some of the old KBD lair's tiles on their minimap, and even hear the lava bubbling if they stand close enough to the western wall.
• Players cannot trade each other while inside the dungeon.
