King Black Dragon

The King Black Dragon (or KBD) is the strongest and highest-level monster which can be found living in Gielinor on. He can be found in his lair, deep inside the Wilderness near the Lava Maze. The ladder to his lair is surrounded by 4 lesser demons. It leads down to a small room with 6 poison spiders and a teleport lever to the KBD. Unlike in, the KBD doesn't directly inflict poison, however a cure poison potion may still prove necessary for the journey.

Players usually fight the dragon alone using melee, but it is possible to have another player ranging or casting spells on him from afar. However, it should be noted that Ranged and Prayer are significantly drained upon attacking, and therefore not reliable to use.

The KBD is often fought for its rare and valuable drops including the uncut dragonstone, dragon shield left half, and dragon medium helmet.

Recommended equipment
Note: The anti dragon breath shield is only needed at the start of a fight with the King black dragon, and some players choose to switch to a rune kite shield or dragon square shield for increased Defense immediately afterward.

The same gear would be used by a mage with the addition of a chosen god cape/spell and charge. Players using ranged should use a magic longbow and rune arrows. In addition, they will need to take a sip of ranging potion from time to time, as the KBD drains the player's Ranged level.
