This section gives clues on how to defeat some of the early dungeons without too much reliance on skill or luck. Depending on which Ancient Relics you obtain, and the skills that you unlock, some better options might become available. Take special note of the recommended order of dungeons - in this guide, the goal is to show
This section gives a walkthrough on how to defeat the early dungeons without too reliance on skill and/or luck. In your playthrough, you should use the Ancient Relics and skills that you unlock, it is possible that your route will deviate quickly from this path, however, this guide does not rely on any particular skills or relics being obtained and so should work for all playthroughs, but will not be the optimum.


Level all combat stats to maximum that you can after every dungeon. Use Slayer Tasks for all of your combat training. It is free to change easy tasks , and you will then receive {{SC}} from all of the monsters you train with which will allow you to purchase more re-supplies.
For the walkthrough, it is assumed that you have levelled all of the combat stats to the maximum after every dungeon. And that all combat training is done using Slayer Tasks to give {{SC}}. You will need a supply of {{GP}}, and it is assumed that you are either mining ore to obtain jewels, or thieving and selling items. When equipped, the {{ItemIcon|Mining Lesser Relic}} will give a guaranteed jewel for every ore which is a good way to make early {{GP}}.


Level every skill to 20 as soon as it becomes available, even if the skill itself is not that useful, as this will give a guaranteed Ancient Relic. Many relics give benefits outside of the skill itself. Do not overlook the benefits of each small improvements - you are forced to face the dungeons woefully under-levelled.
In your playthrough, it is recommended that you level every skill to 20, as soon as it becomes available, as this will give a guaranteed Ancient Relic. [[Ancient Relics]] often give benefits outside of the skill itself, so so not overlook the benefits these and the [[Lesser Relics]]. Also, leveling township and farming as you go along is recommended as these passive skills will pay dividends in time.

Start {{Skill|Mining}} {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence }} until you reach level 10. Equip the {{ItemIcon|Mining Lesser Relic}} if it becomes available. In {{Skill|Runecrafting}} make roughly equal numbers of {{ItemIcon|Air Rune}}, {{ItemIcon|Mind Rune}}, {{ItemIcon|Earth Rune}}, and when available craft enough runes to craft the magic gear in this table:

Before tackling this dungeon, level up your magic, prayer and summon to 10. You can use low-level slayer tasks to level up all of your combat skills safely.
Start {{Skill|Cartography}} to unlock {{ItemIcon|Shrimp|50}}, but save this for the dungeon. Survey and discover {{POIIcon|Farmer's Market}} in {{Hex|13|16}} to obtain {{ItemIcon|Potatoes|500}} which will be your main combat training food supply. Next, survey and discover {{POIItem|The Restless Sanctum}} to get {{ItemIcon|Bones|1000}} which can be buried for {{PP}}.
 
Level up all of your combat skills to level 10 on {{MonsterIcon|Plant}} and {{MonsterIcon|Cow}} using low-level slayer tasks. When you obtain {{ItemIcon|Golbin Thief|type=mark}} craft {{ItemIcon|Bronze Dagger|50}} to allow more marks to be discovered.
 
For the dungeon battle, equip {{SpellIcon|Earth Strike}} and equip {{ItemIcon|Golbin Thief|25}} and {{PrayerIcon|Thick Skin}}. Time your {{ItemIcon|Shrimp}} eats carefully when battling {{MonsterIcon|Mumma Chicken}} so that you get the most hits in.


At level 10, you are very limited in what you can craft and equip. Equip the {{SpellIcon|Earth Strike}}. Use {{ItemIcon|Golbin Thief}} and Prayers to help reduce the battle time and increase your chances of success. Using {{ItemIcon|Shrimp}} should be sufficient to beat the {{MonsterIcon|Mumma Chicken}}.
You should now unlock Level 15, and will be given a random selection of skill boosts.


=== Undead Graveyard: Level 15 ===
=== Undead Graveyard: Level 15 ===
Level up all of your combat skills to level 15. If you have any skills that are 20 (or higher) then level these up to give you more Ancient Relics.
Obtain the {{ItemIcon|Silver Ruby Necklace}} from {{MonsterIcon|Mummy}} or {{Skill|Crafting}}, if available. If needed, mine more {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}} and then craft the slightly stronger magic equipment as shown in the table below. If {{Skill|Runecrafting}} was not upgraded by the first dungeon then consider a melee build instead:

Before tackling the dungeon level your skills to at least 20 if they are upgrade as this will maximize the number of Ancient Relics. You can obtain {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray|50}} from {{Skill|Cartography}} (see above for coords), and the {{ItemIcon|Eyeball}} from an easy township task. Use low-level slayer tasks to train your combat skills. You can get {{ItemIcon|Bones|1000}} from {{POIIcon|The Restless Sanctum}} at {{Hex|13|14}} which is very close to your starting position.
In {{Skill|Cartography}}, survey and discover {{POIIcon|Old Village}} to unlock {{Skill|Archaeology}}. Navigate a path that follows lowest the lowest cost tiles (and avoids any other POIs) until you reach the {{POIIcon|The Friendly Fisherman}} at {{Hex|6|27}} which gets {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray|50}}. Next survey and discover {{POIIcon|Shrouded Horizon}} at {{Hex|4|26]}} to give {{SC|50000}}. Purchase {{ItemIcon|Mirror Shield|5}} from the [[Shop]] to complete the township task that gives you {{ItemIcon|Eyeball|1000}}. Obtain the {{Icon|Occultist|type=mark}} and then craft as many {{ItemIcon|Occultist}} as you can.
 
Using your remaining {{SC}}, purchase as many basic re-supplied as you can afford to give you {{ItemIcon|Lobster}}. You should now have more than enough food to complete the dungeon.


At level 15, you are limited in what you can craft and equip. If you have plenty of {{ItemIcon|Shrimp}} or {{ItemIcon|Lobster}} then this should be sufficient. Equip the {{SpellIcon|Fire Strike}}, {{SpellIcon|Soul Split I}} and {{SpellIcon|Blinding I}} spells. Use {{ItemIcon|Occultist}} and {{PrayerIcon|Thick Skin}} to increase your chances of success.
For the dungeon battle, equip {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray}} or {{ItemIcon|Lobster}}, {{SpellIcon|Fire Strike}}, {{SpellIcon|Soul Split I}} and {{SpellIcon|Blinding I}} spells. Use {{ItemIcon|Occultist}} and {{PrayerIcon|Thick Skin}} to increase your chances of success.


=== Bandit Base: Level 35 ===
=== Spider Forest: Level 20 ===
{{Main|Reference=Spider Forest/Guide}}
Level up all of the combat skills to unlock all of the Ancient Relics. Do the same for any new skills that you have obtained. For this dungeon, it is recommended to switch to a melee build unless your {{Skill|Runecrafting}} has been upgraded. To get the mithril gear, grind {{MonsterIcon|Mithril Knight}} until you have a full set of gear. Submit this to the township task to give you the upgraded gear, and then continue grinding to complete the set, as shown below:


{{Main|Reference=Bandit Base/Guide}}

At level 35, you are not recommended to take on the {{MonsterIcon|Bandit Leader}} as this will be a very tough challenge due to the special moves. There is an easy task that will grant you {{ItemIcon|(G) Mithril Platebody}}, and the remainder of the armour can be obtained from the {{MonsterIcon|Mithril Knight}}. It will take a bit of time to acquire all of the armour which should give a chance for all of your stats to increase. It is important that you level everything up to 20 (or better) so that you obtain the most number of Ancient Relics possible. It you know how, use the [[Easter Eggs]] to obtain {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Calculated Promotion}}.
Using the {{ItemIcon|Mining Lesser Relic}} mine {{ItemIcon|Iron Ore}} (or your strongest ore available) to obtain jewels which you can sell. When you have {{GP|1000000}} available, then purchase {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier I}} to make combat slightly easier. In {{Skill|Crafting}} make {{ItemIcon|Iron Gloves}} (or {{ItemIcon|Bronze Gloves}} if not upgraded). It is especially important that you spend the time to train your prayer and hitpoints.


For the dungeon, you will likely need a lot of {{ItemIcon|Lobster}} (e.g. 500) to overcome this dungeon safely. You can obtain {{SC|50000}} (which is enough for 10 re-supplies) from {{POIIcon|Shrouded Horizon}} in {{Hex|4|26}} which can be found by navigating a straight path from your starting position, but be advised that you will need around {{GP|500000}} to reach this hex. If you have the {{ItemIcon|Mining Lesser Relic}} then mining for jewels is a good way to get sufficient {{GP}} for your travels.
Use {{PrayerIcon|Burst of Strength}} and {{PrayerIcon|Clarity of Thought}} to increase your odds. Equip {{ItemIcon|Occultist}} summon. During the battle with {{MonsterIcon|Spider King}} you will need to time your eats carefully to avoid being killed and it may take more than one attempt.


Use {{ItemIcon|Occultist}} and {{ItemIcon|Agility Lesser Relic}} (reduces attack interval) to increase your chances of success. Use {{PrayerIcon|Burst of Strength}} and {{PrayerIcon|Clarity of Thought}} to increase your stats. During the battle with {{MonsterIcon|Bandit Leader}} you will need to time your eats carefully to avoid being killed and it may take more than one attempt. Pay close attention when the special (yellow attack) as these will decrease their attack interval considerably. You may need to hold down the eat button to avoid getting killed unexpectedly as you will encounter a lot of damage.
Congratulations, you are well on the path of the [[Ancient Relics]]. You can check out all of the dungeon guides for more hints and tips, but the walkthrough is complete. Good Luck!
