The Dragon's Throat
Start by talking to Garrick, near Karamja.
Walkthrough
Face Cinderthroat again
You spared Cinderthroat. Garrick offers a solo rematch for the Dragonslayer title. No repeat XP or quest points are paid.
Your fitting and route stand
Odile sells rune plate and replacement shields. You may use the island route. The island side of the strange wall always lets you leave.
Meet Garrick with 32 quest points
Earn 32 total quest points, including historical points. Meet Garrick beside the volcano ladder. Bring food: combat 60+ is advised for the public cavern walk, and 73+ is left alone.
Say
I could look into it
Collect or withdraw your kit
Bring the plate blank, throat hook and breath-ward shield. Withdraw banked copies; Garrick replaces genuinely lost pieces.
- Plate blank
- Throat hook
Anti dragon breath Shield
Wear the breath-ward shield
Equip the shield before entering the volcano. The public cavern has ordinary dangerous creatures.
Push the strange wall
Walk west from the underground ladder along the main corridor. Red spiders wait at the strange wall and you cannot push it mid-fight. Push it from its south side to enter your private tunnel.
Climb down the volcano ladder
Climb down the ladder, then head west towards the strange wall. Death outside the private tunnel is ordinary death; spiders and skeletons attack anyone under combat 73, so bring food.
Creep towards the chamber
Move while the breathing is shallow. Freeze when the tunnel shudders. A flinch returns you to the last bend; there is no time limit.
Return to the tunnel
From the volcano rim, climb down and push the strange wall from the south. Your completed work survives a failed attempt.
Recover the throat hook
Withdraw your hook from the bank, or ask Garrick for a lost replacement. Then re-enter the tunnel.
- Throat hook
Hook the obstruction
Stand beside Cinderthroat, out of combat. Use the throat hook while its jaw hangs open after a cough. Attacking will not help.
- Throat hook
Return to the tunnel
From the volcano rim, climb down and push the strange wall from the south. Your completed work survives a failed attempt.
Recover the plate blank
Withdraw your plate blank or ask Garrick for a lost replacement. Your counted breaths are kept.
- Plate blank
Wear the shield
Wear the breath-ward shield and carry the blank. Return to the scorch-black flagstone before the next breath.
Hold the scorch-black flagstone
Stand on the scorch-black flagstone for the tick before and the tick of each breath. Hold three breaths with the shield worn and blank carried; misses keep your count.
- Plate blank
Anti dragon breath Shield
Return to the tunnel
From the volcano rim, climb down and push the strange wall from the south. Your completed work survives a failed attempt.
Choose the dragon's fate
Talk to the kneeling dragon. Spare it or finish it; either earns the route and fitting. Only slaying earns Dragonslayer. A closed menu can be reopened.
Say
Spare it
Finish it
Bring Cinderthroat to its knees
Fight with your own gear. Keep the shield worn for its returning breath. The fight stops at the knees, when you may choose an ending.
Return to the tunnel
From the volcano rim, climb down and push the strange wall from the south. Your completed work survives a failed attempt.
Recover the tempered blank
Withdraw the tempered blank from your bank. If it was lost, Garrick replaces it from the tempering record.
Have Odile fit the blank
Carry the tempered blank to Odile inside the merit hall south of Varrock. The door requires 32 total quest points. Ask her to fit it.
