Low Stress Rex - Low Requirement Dagannoth Rex Safespot Guide

If climbing into the Dagannoth Kings' lair stresses you out, try out this simple Dagannoth Rex safespotting guide. I've used it on my HCIM for quite a while and find it a fairly AFK way to slay the Dagannoth King.

Wallasock that ass. ngl that got me

[@facetanked]

I am proud of that one🙇

[@SouthernWolff]

@@facetanked just coming back to say thank you for the guide. Got a 36 kill trip on my mid level HCIM. Could've gotten more but only brought 2 super antipoisons. Once I ran out, that's when I began to burn thru my food. 37th kill, Rex was down to 6hp, I had 12hp, no food, no pots, poison hit me for 6, down to 6hp, and my ring of life yeeted me out of there. Which was SUPER scary because I was hovering over my home tele (because all deaths are safe deaths in your poh). Had to spam click the house tele tab from lumbridge. If I'd have taken another 6 in lumby that would've been RIP to the Status! Lmfao

[@facetanked]

@@SouthernWolff What a rollercoaster 😄 glad you made it out of there!

[@SouthernWolff]

@@facetanked side note, I waited out the 10 minute aggro timer (verified with the aggro timer Plugin). Went down the ladder and back up, and my aggro timer was reset. Found that odd. May have been a 1 off weird bug? Or did they change the physical location of the standard dag kings room to not be physically right underneath it, thus going down the ladder resets the aggro? Idk.

[@facetanked]

@@SouthernWolff no I’m pretty sure that’s how it works now unfortunately ☹️ I swear I remember a time when the monsters wouldn’t re-aggro but maybe *that* was the bug 😅

[@g9motos459]

nice one man i did it too gratz keep going

[@Zik325]

Found it much more helpful utilizing the x-log method, where you find an empty world, memorize the world, hop to a world where there is a person inside killing all three kings, quickly run to the safespot and then x-log back to your world. Saved me a bunch of food and prayer pots. You can also utilize this method if you accidently lured prime. just pop protect from magic, go to the safespot and x-log. Saves you from teleporting away having to redo this.

[@SheepteaGTA]

Thanks. Got all my rex items 80kc. Super chill

[@ghp_tactical8446]

how do u even have 800 subs u deserve more for that well guided video

[@facetanked]

I appreciate that! Almost to 1k thanks to viewers like you 😄

[@AC-xq4hh]

Also, as I have just started my Rex grind on my mid level iron myself, I found a much less stressful way to get into the lair without dying to Supreme and Prime. When you climb down the ladder, you want to make sure you are either not being attacked by any king, in which case you follow this video, OR if you climb down and only the range king(supreme) is attacking you , pray range and go around to the Rex safespot as normal. Kill Rex once, with protect from range on the whole time. Drink a Antipoison dose, heal up to full health and drink a prayer dose to get enough prayer for a full minute of protect range. Once this is all done, you can xLog, which is simply closing out your browser or app if you're on mobile. After one minute, the server will log you out, and once you log back in (make sure you were on the same world as before so you don't crash someone) you'll be safe to kill Rex to your heart's content. You can also use this method to take a break at any time without having to teleport out of the lair!

[@facetanked]

This is above my paygrade 😄

[@Awsomander]

Just enter a world with someone already killing kings, run to rex safespot, and the xlog and log back in into another world (hopefully an empty one).

[@MellowFellowOfYellow]

@@Awsomander amazing tip

[@kirkprospector4958]

man I've been wondering what those kings are so preoccupied with when you enter and they don't attack. What could they see in the far off reaches of that cavern?

[@AarieaaronFTW]

Its important to be mindful of the position of the other dk's when going to agro rex. I accidentally caught the attention of supreme and got killed almost immediately

[@tadpolebee290]

Anyway this guide is very good❤

[@CptFruity]

Thanks, Matthew McConaughey!

[@geraltofnivea1434]

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT AN ALT! There is ONE IMPORTANT TIP for getting to rex. It is NOT WORTH to keep going back in and out till you get a safe way to the rex safespot. The amount of HP you lose at the ladder takes away so much of your supplies. It is way more efficient to get to the safespot with ONLY Supreme his aggro and protect range on at all times. Make sure you have enough prayer left for 1 minute of protect for range and X log in the safespot. This is way quicker and safes you so many supplies. Advanced tip: If someone griefs you at the Rex safespot by pulling aggro from rex PUT PROTECT FROM MAGIC ON since Rex his attack are AOE. I had to learn it the hard way, but I hope this saves someone from getting griefed and get hit a 50 by Rex.

[@Jantteri96]

Hey. What you mean "X log"? I did try this method, but it wont deagro after 1min

[@geraltofnivea1434]

@@Jantteri96 You can't log out normally at DK's. X-log is when you log-out by pressing the x of your runelite client. Osrs will log you out automatically after being in combat for 60 seconds.

[@tadpolebee290]

One helpful tip in some of the rooms you may have to pray ranged for daganoths depends on your ranged defence

[@chris78946]

Great guide got my zerker ring in 7 kills

[@Pedro28725]

Killing my Rex's now, without any stress because of you. Super defence potions really help saving food! edit: found it very usefull to find a world where 1 lair is occupied and another one is free, this way you can hide in the occupied lair, while waiting for the right setup for entry!

[@treimar]

Thank you m8

[@Snoozeit00]

The daganoths wont stop atking me even after 10 mins in the room over the kings lair?

[@davidskipton690]

Rofl, I wasn't paying attention to the orientation of the compass for the safe spot so I was running north and kept getting one or two kills before prime would spank me. Also, using ancients helps extend the trips

[@Graystash]

Thanks dad.

[@Ghost-yv7ji]

have they patched this? i couldnt lose agro from the other kings.

[@KodaStorm]

Just got pet on 141 KC thanks bro :)

[@AC-xq4hh]

The rockshell platebody and plate legs that Rex drops is exactly the same as rune armor EXCEPT it has +4 range defense each, toss them on when you get it, helps extend your trips. It also doesn't effect Ava's devices so you can use it as a range tank set before you do barrows!

[@facetanked]

Great shout! I have the legs, should have worn them.

[@jacobcorry9090]

It has the same stats just a slightly less range drop on the offensive side does it not?

[@StIdes-wb3ir]

this is bad info, rune armour & rockshell have identical defense bonus. the only difference is that rock-shell armor has slightly less range attack penalty than rune (rune plate -15, rock plate -10; rune legs -11 , rock legs -7)

[@stoneyoung1557]

"don't panic!"

ive been hopping worlds and going up and down this ladder for over 15 minutes theres always one sitting right on it. So annoying!

[@joedude967]

Wait so can you just sit there and wait for rex to spawn again? or do you have to leave and go back in

[@facetanked]

Just sit tight and he will be back in a minute or so. Do NOT anger the Wallasalkis.

[@XxsoljAaBoy]

What are the mud and law runes for?

[@facetanked]

Those are Dust runes just to get me back home :D

[@Villa632]

My magic is 74 what attacking spells can i use? Where do i bank?

[@facetanked]

Iban's is a great option and probably you're best bet. You can bank on Lunar Isle or do what I do and just teleport home then go from there. Getting there is not fun so I advise bringing plenty of food and antipoisons to make sure you can stay for a long time each trip.

[@triborn217]

Have never tried Rex or his brothers.. hoping for d axe or b-ring:)

[@s3hunna]

I was very relaxed following your guide until I killed Rex for the second time and got a berserker ring. 2 kc b ring will make you a little unrelaxed but great guide!

[@facetanked]

Haha that's understandable 😄

[@connemignonne]

Leagues 4 players: You can let yourself in without a rune thrownaxe by setting your recall location next to one of the doors, opening it from the other side with any ranged attack, and then recalling back. Saved me so much of a headache.

[@KazukiFuse99]

Can I just use prayer pots? I don't have access to restore potions.

I cannot get this to work at all. Even if I get to the point where the 3 kings are away from the ladder, I end up getting attacked by the ranger when I'm trying to do the safespot.

When going solo there is _definitely_ some randomness involved -- don't give up though! If you can, bring a friend to lure Prime and Supreme to the far corner then go down the ladder to set up Rex. Good luck!
