Free-to-play Revenant hunting guide

Killing Revenants is a popular training method among high-level players. Most people who hunt Revenants kill them for their rewards

About Revenants
During the God Wars, over 4,000 years ago, many of those that died were trapped eternally in the Wilderness, their souls twisted by the evil magic and corruption that surrounds it. They were then forced into the Forinthry Dungeon as players took back the wilderness.

Today these creatures, known as Revenants, continue to hunt those who enter there area of the Forinthry Dungeon, doing whatever they can with their melee, magic, and ranged skills to eliminate anyone who happen to cross their paths. They tend to be much stronger than what their combat level suggests and most other monsters in RuneScape.

Locations
Revenants patrol the North-eastern room in the Forinthry Dungeon

What to Bring
Note: The equipment shown here is for players who wish to risk their items. If you feel uncomfortable with what is listed, bring only 3 or 4 items.

Inventory With this method, you can choose not to use prayer. Protect from Magic is still recommended though.
 * Teleport runes.
 * Lobsters or better
 * Harpoon and/or lobster pot (for wilderness fishing spot)
 * tinderbox (lighting fires to cook)
 * Axe (cutting down trees to make fire, bronze axe can be bought at bandit store)

This method is used normally for group travels but strongly unreccomanded if you are soloing, this is because even when you switched prayer to match the revenant's attack you would still endure damage.

Getting Started
A good method to minimise loss on death and maximize the time you are able to stay in the wild is to bring only a green d'hide body, green d'hide chaps, and a Rune Scimitar for your worn equipment.

Revenant imp (level 7)
Nature:

Revenant imps are extremely weak, having only 100 life points. Unlike an average level 7, however, Revenant Imps have been to known to hit a max of 90. These revenants are often ignored by higher level players, though they can kill players with low Lifepoints.

How to kill:

Bring magic (preferably Earth bolt or Crumble Undead) to slay the revenant, don't worry about it's defence. It has been noted that pure mages (combat levels 10-30) have been able to slay these with only bolt spells.

Revenant goblin (levels 15, 22, 30, 37)
Nature:

Revenant goblins are tough for their level, and can inflict high damage quickly and accurately, though their defence is fairly low.

How to kill:

It is advised to take a team of at least 3 people to kill it, unless all members of the team are over level 45. Soloing is a method to lower ones after 40 combat. Some lower level magicians have been able to kill these, but generally 39 Magic is needed for Crumble Undead.

Revenant icefiend (level 45)
Nature:

Revenant icefiends are fairly weak in defence compared to other revenants, but they are not to be underestimated.

How to kill:

Bring good food, and wear dragonhide armour to kill these. With a good combat level (preferably 60), these can be easily killed by one person.

Revenant pyrefiend (level 52)
Nature:

These are dangerous revenants for its combat level, but it lacks defence. It's a semi-common revenant which luckily seems to tend wandering alone searching for marauders. It's low defence makes them almost similar to a medium-levelled strength pure with 1 defence.

How to kill:

Be sure to use fast-healing food (tuna or above) before engaging a revenant pyrefiend in combat. It is recommended that you are at least equal to its level if you are using Ranged, or at least 65 before using melee (except if you have a team of two or more). Players are recommended to have 60 combat before trying to kill these revenants by themselves. A rune scimitar and dragonhide are highly recommended for killing alone.

Revenant hobgoblin (level 60)
Nature:

These revenants are fairly weak compared to other revenants around their level. They are also fairly easy to kill alone.

How to kill:

Most players will find these unusually weak for a revenant of their level, but should still be attacked with care. a player at 90 combat or above should be able to melee them with no help and little food

Revenant vampire (level 68)
Nature:

Revenant vampires are very powerful for their level. They have fairly good Strength and strong Defence.

How to kill:

Players should approach these cautiously, as they can be very hard to kill, and can kill several people before teleporting or being killed. A level 85+ should be able to solo them with 15 pieces of food, but generally less is used.

Revenant werewolf (level 75)
Nature:

A Revenant with high strength and defence, and much more powerful than players of same level. These are generally most common near the Wilderness fishing spots and the Chaos Temple (hut).

How to kill

With a group of several people, these can be killed very quickly and efficiently. It is very possible for one person to kill it, but players should be a level 90 or above before attempting this. Food is necessary for killing alone, but the use of food can be reduced by praying. A good place to kill these is the Wilderness fishing spots, as werewolves appear there quite often, as well as there being a place to restock on food quickly.

Revenant cyclops (level 82)
Nature: An uncommon revenant, The best place to find these creatures is the house where the revenants spawn in the west ruins in level 23 Wilderness.

How to kill:

At the western ruins, clans may gather to kill these when they spawn. It is recommended that players kill as a group, though killing alone is possible for players level 90 and above.

Revenant hellhound (level 90)
Nature:

An uncommon revenant that is rarely seen anywhere but the spawning house in the western ruins.

How to kill:

Since these revenants are common at the small house in the western ruins, it is possible to find these and kill them here, as it is the only effective place to find them. Killing them alone is tough, so it is recommended to have 100 combat or higher, coupled with good food and prayer.

Revenant demon (level 98)
Nature:

This revenant is rarely seen anywhere, though it is most often found in the small house in the western ruins.

How to kill:

Players will often come to the revenant spawn house to kill these revenants. A combat level of 100 or above is recommended to kill alone, but players can be as low as 70 when fighting with a group of three or more.

Revenant ork (level 105)
Nature:

These revenants are extremely common in most parts of the Wilderness, and pose a serious threat to anyone with combat level 70 or below.

How to kill:

Killing alone is quite difficult, though most players with 100 combat or higher can do it with protection prayers and high healing food. Killing with a group of 5 or more players with 80+ combat is a quick way to kill these revenants. Note that even when players are working together, casualties are quite common.

Revenant dark beast (level 120)
Nature:

Known as the rarest revenant in Free-To-Play worlds. They tend to wander around various locations throughout the Wilderness.

How to kill:

This revenant is not commonly fought because of its extreme rarity and the fact that it usually wanders in levels 1-20 Wilderness, so most players are not within the level to kill the revenant. It is a bad idea to try and solo this revenant, as it can hit very high and usually teleports before it can be killed. Since it is generally in single way combat areas, it is generally not an option to kill with more than one person, though a very good team of 5-10 people over 90 combat would be needed to kill it.

Revenant knight (level 126)
Nature:

These revenants are very common near the Wilderness fishing area and the Chaos Temple (hut). They are very powerful and should never be underestimated.

How to kill:

These revenants are quite powerful, so a player should be at least 115 combat before attempting to kill alone. With a group of at least 5 players at 90+ combat, they can be killed fairly quickly. Casualties are common when killing these, and should be expected if not properly prepared.

But if you want to try solo a revenant knight, the best way would be to stay in the altar at level 38 wildy, wearing full rune, and using either a rune scimitar or a gravite weapon while proctecting from magic. Food such as lobsters or better is a must. Soloing is very risky and should only be attempted by players 110 combat and above.

Maging a revenant knight in free-to-play is near impossible since even with the best mage equipment, it will hardly deal any damage.

Other Tips

 * If more than one revenant comes, it is advised that you flee the area immediately unless you have a large group with you to kill them all.
 * Use the appropriate protection prayer depending on what you're wearing.
 * Don't bring rare or valuable items in the Wilderness.
 * Pures with lower than 10 Defence are strongly advised to avoid trying to kill a revenant alone, even with protection prayers.
 * If you do bring your best items, make sure you only have 3 of them, as only 3 items will be kept upon death and placed in your inventory when you respawn in Lumbridge.
 * Be careful who you go hunting with. The dungeon is PvP enabled so other players will be able to kill you here
 * The twisted bird skull necklace from Dungeoneering is a good way to restore prayer points if an altar is not nearby.If you find yourself low on prayer, pick up some bones near the Demonic Ruins and bury them. Each bone buried will restore one prayer point.
