Tarn's Lair


 * For the miniquest, see The Lair of Tarn Razorlor.

The Lair of Tarn Razorlor is located in south-western Morytania. It is a complex dungeon with lots of undead, and features a miniquest to kill Tarn Razorlor. The area was released on 22 January 2007.

Requirements

 * The Haunted Mine quest is required to access Tarn's Lair.
 * Requires the Salve Amulet to enter.
 * Requires Level 40 Slayer, if you wish to fight with Tarn Razorlor.

Travel
The lair is found off the Haunted Mine and requires a Salve amulet to enter. Probably the fastest way to reach the haunted mine is to teleport to Canifis, and go via the Myreque shortcut to Burgh de Rott. There is an Agility shortcut between the town of Burgh de Rott and the Haunted Mine area.

Another route is the Burgh de Rott Ramble. Choose the Adventurer (strongest follower), and route 1, the easiest.

To enter the lair, climb over the mine cart just south of the Zealot (featured in the Haunted Mine quest), and enter the haunted mine, then travel north and enter the lair.

Map
Referring back to the map please note the letters that identify the various doors and passages. The route that you need to follow is ( D-S-T-U. )

That means, by following the map, you go through the passage labeled (D,) then to the passage labeled ( S,) then through the ( T ) passage, and finally to ( U.) We'll go over the rest when you get there.

Before you go gallavanting off into this dangerous dungeon, there are things you need to know. This lair is very dangerous, guarded by various monsters and traps.



Directions
There are numerous traps, monsters and passages within the lair. Note: It is recommended that you have auto-retaliate OFF whilst in the lair, because after disabling a wall trap, you don't want to run back across the spikes straight into the trap again.

Recommended Equipment
This is an ideal place to use Guthan's armour. If you don't own Guthan's set, then good melee armour, a weapon, good food and 1-2 prayer potions is recommended. Even if you do own Guthan's set, taking some food is a good idea because of the numerous traps within the lair.

Bank
From the entrance, travel as far east as you can and then north. It will cost 100 coins each time you use the bank. Some of the undead in the lair drop coins. If you have forgotten 100 coins it is possible to access your grand exchange collection box for free and get 100 coins from there. With the addition of Money pouches, 100 coins will automatically be taken from your pouch when you select the bank option.

Trivia

 * With the release of Tarn Razorlor and his lair, all skeletons, ghosts, zombies and most undead creatures had a graphics makeover.
 * There was previously a bug that prevented players from reaching Tarn's Chamber without the use of a slayer ring, this was caused by the fact that if a player attempts to jump to a pillar required to cross into the chamber they receive a message "I can't reach that!". Jagex had made a temporary solution to the problem by placing a portal between the two pillars. This bug has been fixed.
 * The toad batta found in one of the rooms of the dungeon may be a joke on the treasure that Tarn theorized the temple was guarding.
 * Players used to be able to use a ring of slaying to teleport directly into the end of the maze just outside the boss chamber, regardless of whether or not the miniquest has already been completed.
