Automaton/Strategies

Automatons are some of the most strongest non-boss creatures found on RuneScape. They have some of the best rare drops in game (their level 85 gloves) and all of their drops are noted/stackable (apart from RDT).

Getting there

 * Using the map above, you can use the Ardgoune Lodestone and walk northwest to the excavation entrance.
 * When you have completed all quests, you can grab a Sixth-Age circuit from the Guthixian High Druid and instantly teleport to the monument.
 * Using the Fairy ring code B-L-R, which lands you outside of the Legend's Guild, and walk west to the excavation entrance.

Requirements

 * The World Wakes


 * 67 Slayer

Large Chamber
Upon asking the Guthixian High Druid for a teleport (you can also right click him), you will end up in the large chamber of the room. The Automatons are not aggressive despite their high combat level, so do not worry upon being instantly killed upon arrival.

There are seven Automaton Guardians in the middle, along with eight Automaton Tracers and Automaton Generators on both sides. You can go deeper from the path in the middle to find two of each Automaton listed above. The elevator also gives a quick leave up if you need to leave. You can also leave by the opening that you used to reach Guthix during the quest.

Automatons
Each Automaton has extremely accurate attacks that can hit up to 800. They also have a special that is when they pound the ground, dealing rapid and heavy damage of their combat style which cannot be partially protected by Protection Prayers, Deflect Curses and Anticipation. Alternatively, you can use any stun on them, and as long as it hits, you won't take any damage from the attack.

Automatons have extremely high combat stats, along with high hitpoints for their level.
