Forinthry Dungeon



The Forinthry Dungeon is a cave found in the Wilderness. It is a refuge for revenants and many other monsters after being forced underground by adventurers. The dungeon itself is named after Forinthry, the original name for the Wilderness. The dungeon itself is extremely dangerous as not only are the revenants more powerful than their combat level suggests, the cave is also a PvP area. There are many "Teamers" here, people who travel in teams and can cost you a lot of money quickly and are known to use smite or soul split to drop your prayer so dont risk too much, unless you can afford your losses.

Entrances
The dungeon can be entered via two different entrances: One of the entrances is located in level 17 Wilderness at the south-western steps of the Wilderness Volcano, and a second entrance in level 31 Wilderness, east of the Forgotten Cemetery. Entering from the first entrance at level 17 Wilderness will lead you to a small area with single-way combat. As both entrances force you to walk through the Wilderness, one must be wary of Player Killers.

Revenants
Forinthry Dungeon is most known for the revenants who reside in the chamber to the north-east. As they have weakened in power since their banishment, they can no longer freeze players or teleblock them.

Strategies
Bear in mind that any revenant of any combat level can attack you much unlike the time before their banishment.

If soloing: It is strongly recommended you are of a high combat level (105+), because revenants can easily overwhelm and kill lower levels in a few seconds. The walls around the room will be your only defense from a relentless onslaught of attacks. If meleeing, a good luring tactic is to cast a weak spell or fire an arrow and then hide behind a wall, this will draw the revenant near you without attracting the attention of the others. After it is close, you can melee it without being piled by other revenants.


 * If meleeing, it is suggested you bring decent armour (Rune+) and use protect from magic to cover your weak spot.


 * If ranging, it is suggested you either tank, while using protect from magic, or wear your best dragonhide and use protect from melee.


 * If maging, it is suggested you wear dragonhide and use protect from missiles, or if you are very confident in your magic and defence levels, wear robes and use protect from missiles. Remember, since revenants can use melee, ranged, or magic, attacking from a distance will cause revenant to only use ranged or magic attacks.

Whenever revenant hunting in a group, it is more efficient to have someone with a high Defence level tank the selected revenant while the rest of the group attacks it. This saves weaker players from taking damage, and can make deaths less frequent. Be aware that the revenant may shift its aggression to players without a Forinthry brace, and that player killers could also appear at any time.

Rewards
Revenants are known for dropping, unique, rare, expensive items such as a piece of corrupt dragon equipment, ancient artefacts, brawling gloves, and ancient warrior's equipment(Statius's/Vesta's/Zuriel's/Morrigan's).

Ankou
Ankou can be found in the north-west of this dungeon. They are level 75.

Green dragons
Green dragons can be found in the south-east of this dungeon. Note that these are Members only, and although the rest of the area is accessible to F2P players, the dragons do not appear on F2P worlds. This is a good spot to rest up, eat (if you got attacked by other players), use potions, or just try to avoid other players and log out safely. Remember if you are a member be sure to bring an anti-fire shield, dragonfire shield, or super antifire pots. They are level 79.

Lesser demons
Lesser demons can be found in the north of this dungeon. They are level 82.

Greater demons
Greater demons can be found in the south of this dungeon. You can fight more than one at a time since their location is in a multicombat zone. They are level 92 and can cause problems for those coming from the level 17 entrance. Also you will have multiple demons attacking you at once so it is recommended to use a melee protection prayer.

Hellhounds
Hellhounds can be found in the centre of this dungeon. They look similar to the God Wars Dungeon hellhounds, as opposed to other hellhounds. You can fight more than one at a time since they are in a multicombat zone like the greater demons. They are level 122 and you might find yourself under attack from a large amount at a time. Use protect melee or deflect melee prayer to avoid this. They can drop level 3 clue (hard) scrolls.

Trivia

 * Revenants were originally the replacement for Pkers between 11 December 2007 and 31 January 2011. They could attack you depending on your combat level and depth in the wilderness (just as Pkers can today) as well as teleblock or freeze you.


 * The unique gear the revenants drops used to only be obtainable from PvP and Bounty Worlds which were removed when the old-style Wilderness was reinstated. The only other place to obtain such gear is the Chaos Elemental.


 * The Facebook image for this update showed the common, flat back Hellhound rather than the God Wars Dungeon style one currently seen.
