Mechanics
Similar to Dungeons, strongholds have a fixed set of monsters but have their own mechanics such as Pure Damage.
Pure Damage is a monster Damage Type that cannot be negated or resisted in any way - equipment with Damage Reduction does not prevent this damage. The damage values of monsters in strongholds have been adjusted to accommodate for the lack of Damage Reduction. Because of this, the player is intended to try to deal as much damage as possible, while ignoring any defensive bonuses.
Like Dungeons, Strongholds use the Combat Triangle direction of the Stronghold's realm and the player is to use the realm's damage type.
The major mechanical differences between Dungeons and Strongholds are as follows:
- All monsters drop their normal loot when killed inside Strongholds.
- Bosses in Melvor Realm strongholds drop the chests from their respective dungeons. Bosses in Abyssal Realm strongholds only drop souls.
- Completing a stronghold rewards a scroll that contains exclusive Enhancements depending on the tier of the stronghold.
- There are 3 tiers to each Stronghold - Standard, Augmented and Superior, each with increasing difficulty.
- Enhancements are required to enter and complete Augmented and Superior Strongholds.
- Pets only have a chance to drop from Superior Strongholds.
- Unequipping the required enhancements while in a stronghold will cause all player attacks to miss.
While in a stronghold the player cannot equip nor unequip Food and Equipment, nor can they change Equipment sets. These swapping restrictions can be removed by purchasing the

Enhancements
Standard and Augmented Strongholds are guaranteed to reward an Enhancement Scroll, containing one Enhancement based on the tier of the stronghold. Superior Enhancements do not come in scrolls, and have a much lower drop chance at only 1%.
Strongholds of a tier higher than Standard require equipping all three Enhancements earned from the directly previous tier of the same stronghold.
Enhancement Requirements:
| Tier | Enhancements |
|---|---|
| Standard | None |
| Augmented | Standard |
| Superior | Augmented |
Enhancements come in three basic types and one superior type, denoted by their shape:
| Shape | Enhancement Slot | Name Number | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circle | Left | 1 | Base, Augmented |
| Triangle | Middle | 2 | Base, Augmented |
| Square | Right | 3 | Base, Augmented |
| Hexagon | Any | Superior |
Each stronghold has:
- 3 Standard Enhancements
- 3 Augmented Enhancements
- 1 Superior Enhancement
