Fight Kiln



The Fight Kiln is a safe minigame announced in the February 2012 Behind the Scenes, and released on 14 February 2012. It is a sequel to the Fight Cave minigame, with tougher opponents for players to fight. This minigame has proved to be the most challenging one in all of Runescape. At the end of the Fight Kiln, players will be pitted against a boss that will be tougher than two Jads combined, and get a chance to claim the new cape - TokHaar-Kal.

The Fight Kiln is a revamped version of the Fight Caves that is extremely difficult to complete. Only the best adventurers can survive all 37 grueling waves. This requires many times more persistence and skill than the original Fight Caves. Additionally, the Fight Kiln features 7 TokHaar-Jads combined throughout the waves, whereas the Fight Caves only contain one TzTok-Jad; on the last wave. It is recommended by Jagex and players alike that one should attain 90+ in all combat skills before attempting the Fight Kiln.

Before entering the Fight Kiln for the first time, players must hand in a one-off payment of a fire cape. After this, the kiln may be re-entered as many times as desired for the rewards.

Unlike the typical 63 waves from the Fight Cave, the Fight Kiln only reaches 37 waves before you fight the final boss, Har'Aken. There is no pattern to be followed for each wave, unlike the Fight Caves. However, the waves of the Fight Kiln are always the same and the monsters always spawn in the same location.

If you are using safespots in the Kiln, be aware that the cave will slowly fill with lava, forcing you onto smaller areas for fighting and submerging on safespots. This will happen on waves 10, 20, 30 and 34. By the time the final boss fight with Har-Aken commences, there will be no safespots left for you to stand on and only a square-shaped piece of land is available.

Every alternate wave will also cause lava crystals to spawn in the Kiln, which can be used to gain bonuses such as temporary invincibility or full prayer and lifepoint restoration. Use them to the fullest to survive the waves - especially TokHaar-Jad and the terrible Har-Aken.

Waves
Note: See below for Lava Crystal icon descriptions.

TokHaar-Jad spawn locations
Knowing the spawn locations of the TokHaar-Jad is a large advantage in the Fight Kiln. Monsters in the Fight Kiln will always spawn at the same location. Since you are able to predict where the monsters spawn, you will be able to prepare in advance for the upcoming waves.

Waves 10, 20 and 30: The TokHaar-Jad on waves 10, 20, and 30 will spawn in the southwest corner of the map, therefore standing on the north east side of the safe spot in the middle will prevent Jad from attacking you.

Wave 34: TokHaar-Jad will spawn in the southeast corner of the map, therefore standing on the northwest side of the safe spot in the middle will prevent Jad from attacking you.

Wave 35 TokHaar-Jad will spawn in the northeast corner of the map, therefore standing on the southwest side of the safe spot in the middle will lure Jad over to where you are, however he can still use his attacks, so it is advised you use the invulnerability crystal before starting this wave. However, he will walk around the rock a little forcing you to stand directly west of the safe spot to prevent him from attacking. Standing here you will need to use long range to reach both the TokHaar-Ket-Zek and the TokHaar-Tok-Xil. The best option is to stand on the north west side of the safe spot, preventing the TokHaar-Ket-Zek from attacking you, leaving you to deal with TokHaar-Jad and the TokHaar-Yt-MejKot

Wave 36 both the TokHaar-Jad will spawn in the southeast and southwest sides of the map, standing north of the safe spot in the middle will prevent either one of the TokHaar-Jad from attacking you.

Wave 37 Har'Aken will not appear until you have slain 3 of his tentacles. He will appear for a short time (you can use the Storm of Armadyl spell about 12 times on him) before diving under the lava. You will then have to slay another 3 tentacles before he will appear again. Har'Aken will only appear on the south, east or west walls and he can seem invisible if you are not close enough to him. If you are using magic it is highly advised that you save a magic crystal for this final wave. When using mage on this wave it is highly advised to protect from range and kill the mage tentacles as they are weaker to mage than the range counterparts. If you are using Storm of Armadyl you can defeat Har'Aken when he shows for the second time, dealing over 25k damage the first time he appears, and finishing him the second time.

Lava crystals
In some waves you can obtain lava crystals, which grant certain "power-ups" usable only in the Fight Kiln. Only one crystal can be activated at a time. Including using the restoration crystal while other effects are occuring. Once using a crystal all combat stats except for the type of crystal is reduced to 50% (49 at 99) and the involved stat boosted to 150% (148 at 99).

The effects of the crystals can not be combined, i.e you can't use a constitution crystal followed by a restoration crystal to boost you to full lifepoints whilst the effects of the constitution crystal are in effect.

Rewards
Upon victory in the Fight Kiln, players can choose a reward of either the TokHaar-Kal cape or an uncut onyx.

Note: If a player has a full inventory while choosing his/her reward, the player will be transported outside of the Fight Kiln and will have to go back in and talk to the TokHaar leader again to claim the reward (providing atleast 1 free inventory slot is available).

Trivia

 * Upon completing the Fight Kiln, the following message appears in your Adventurer's Log: "I defeated many waves of TokHaar, before vanquishing the mighty Har'Aken and conquering the Fight Kiln.
 * An Early bird lamp was obtained by players who reached wave 30 of the minigame within two weeks of its release, before 29 February 2012.
