The Dagannoth Kings are three bosses in Waterbirth Dungeon: Supreme, Prime and Rex. Each uses a different attack style and is weak to a different style. Their main rewards are four Dagannoth rings, the dragon axe and Dagannoth teeth. For the Echo fight, see Echo Dagannoth Kings.
Getting there
Choose Dagannoth Kings in Sarim Hub. Use the crack entrance and confirm Yes to create your own instance. Creating it through this entrance does not use an instance token.
Collect your loot before leaving. Your instance is destroyed when you leave or log out.
The older dungeon ladder also leads to a regular public lair and a Slayer-only lair. The Slayer-only lair checks your assignment before allowing attacks on the kings. Use the regular lair if you are not on a matching Slayer task. Peek checks players in the public lairs, so it does not tell you whether a private instance is occupied.
What to bring
Bring all three combat styles if you want to kill every king:
- A melee weapon and armour for Supreme.
- A ranged weapon and ammunition for Prime.
- A Magic weapon with runes or charges for Rex.
- Food, prayer potions or super restores, and combat potions for your chosen weapons.
- A teleport for banking and resupplying.
- Poison protection if using the regular public lair, where Spinolyps can poison you.
Keep your switches simple for the first trip. Bring weapons and a few useful armour pieces for each style, leaving room for food and prayer supplies. Check your ammunition, runes and charges before entering. Use Equipment progression and Perk builds when preparing your setup.
Fight
Each king has 255 hitpoints and attacks every 4 ticks. Use the following weapons and prayers:
| King | Attack and max hit | Attack with | Protection prayer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supreme | Ranged: 30 | Melee | Protect from Missiles |
| Prime | Magic: 50 | Ranged | Protect from Magic |
| Rex | Melee: 26 | Magic | Protect from Melee when close |
Use Protect from Magic whenever Prime is attacking you. His attack has the highest max hit. One protection prayer does not block all three kings, so keep your health high while their attacks overlap.
Killing all three
- Enter with Protect from Magic active and check which kings are attacking you.
- If Supreme is attacking you alone, switch to Protect from Missiles and use melee against him.
- If Prime starts attacking, use Protect from Magic and attack him with ranged. Eat as needed while Supreme or Rex is also hitting you.
- Finish Supreme with melee once Prime is dead. Use Protect from Missiles against Supreme, and watch for Rex reaching you.
- Use Magic against Rex. Move away when he gets close, or use Protect from Melee while he is beside you.
- Pick up your drops and refill health and Prayer. Watch for the other kings returning before starting another kill.
Avoid running through the middle of the room while trying to fight one king. Prime and Supreme can attack from a distance, while Rex needs to reach you for melee. Move carefully and change your prayer when another king joins the fight.
Spinolyps in the public lair
Spinolyps around the regular lair use ranged and Magic attacks. Their ranged attacks can poison you, and their Magic attacks can drain Prayer. Keep poison protection active and watch your Prayer even after killing a king.
