Cave Horrors are gruesome and formidable monsters that lurk beneath the surface of the world of RuneScape. With their eerie appearance and challenging combat mechanics, they pose a unique and rewarding challenge for players seeking valuable drops and combat experience.
Locations
Cave Horrors are found within the Mos Le’Harmless Caves, located on the tropical island of Mos Le’Harmless.
Gear Setup
- Weapon: Use a Slayer helmet if available, and equip a weapon with good accuracy and damage. A leaf-bladed battleaxe or other powerful weapons are effective choices.
- Armor: Wear armor with decent defensive stats. Gear with high Prayer bonuses can be valuable.
- Prayer: It’s highly recommended to use Protect from Melee prayer to reduce damage.
- Food: Bring high-healing food like sharks, anglerfish, or Saradomin brews to heal when necessary.
- Light Source: A light source is needed for the caves. A Bullseye lantern or Lantern Lens is suitable.
Location:
Cave Horrors are located in the Mos Le’Harmless Caves, which can be accessed by completing the “Cabin Fever” quest. These caves are found on the island of Mos Le’Harmless.
Killing Cave Horrors:
- Equip your chosen gear, including your Slayer helmet if you have one, and make your way to the Mos Le’Harmless Caves.
- Attack the Cave Horrors using your preferred combat style. Melee is often recommended, but you can use Ranged or Magic as well.
- Keep Protect from Melee prayer on to reduce the damage you take from Cave Horrors.
- Collect the drops. Cave Horrors drop various items, but the most coveted is the Black Mask or its imbued version, the “Slayer Helmet (i).” The imbued Slayer helmet combines the benefits of a Black Mask with the bonuses of a Slayer helmet.
Cave Horror Drops:
Cave Horrors have several drops, including:
- Black Mask: The Black Mask is a highly sought-after drop that boosts damage when fighting Slayer tasks. It can be used to create the Slayer Helmet.
- Bones: Regular bones and big bones for Prayer experience.
- Gems: Uncut gems like sapphires and emeralds.
- Seeds: Herb and tree seeds.
Additional Tips:
- The primary goal when killing Cave Horrors is to obtain the Black Mask and then imbue it into a Slayer Helmet. The imbued Slayer Helmet is one of the best-in-slot headgear for Slayer tasks.
- Cave Horrors can be a Slayer task assigned by a Slayer master, increasing the chances of receiving the Black Mask.
- The use of the Dwarf Cannon can make the task quicker and more efficient, especially if you have tasks of more than a few Cave Horrors.
Killing Cave Horrors is a popular Slayer task due to the potential for the Black Mask drop.
