Pollnivneach Slayer Dungeon

The Desert Slayer Dungeon is a cave found beneath the desert town of Pollnivneach. To access it, players must complete the Smoking Kills quest. After the quest, it is possible to navigate the extension to the Smoke dungeon that is located below the dungeon area of the Mighty banshees. Take the entry from the well in Pollivneach. To the west there is a shortcut to the pre-existing Smoke Dungeon. Taking the north corridor leads to a central area filled with mighty banshees. To the east and west of the central area are dungeons rooms with descending staircases access to which is guarded by mystic barriers. Below is another level in this dungeon that consists of a large central area with non aggressive aberrant spectres. These cannot be killed without a slayer helmet, because a facemask as well as a nosepeg must be worn simultaneously to fight these montsters and only the slayer helmet offers this combination.

Catolax
Upon entry to this dungeon Catolax from the prerequisite quest can be seen and spoken with.

Banshee Mistress (Level 111)
Fought during the Smoking Kills quest. the masked earmuffs are vital for this fight. When fought, she has four Insectoid Assassins alongside her, which will attack once her health gets low. Protect from Melee is Recommended until she says "Minions, assist me!" At which point the insectoid assassins will attack with range. That is when to switch to the Protect from Range prayer.

Boss fights
Connected to the lower central area are four other dungeon rooms shielded by mystic barriers. Crossing one of these barriers will start a boss fight. After the boss fight, the area can be used to slay the higher combat level versions of familiar slayer monsters supporting the boss. Whenever a boss is killed, a bonus 1,000 Slayer experience is earned. The four boss fights are:

Monstrous cave crawler (Level 180)
Its attacks will poison and lower resistance to poison, therefore it is essential to bring anti-poison potion or one of the more advanced anti-poison potions (around 2 pots will do), and use Protect from Range. Normal melee combat works well here.



Basilisk boss (Level 240)
Protect from magic combined with high melee defensive armour is strongly advised, or as an alternative, protect from melee combined with high magic defensive armour. Restore potion or super restore potion are also advised as the boss can drastically reduce stats during the fight. Luckily however but this boss will not spawn any minions. Remember to bring a mirror shield.



Mightiest turoth (Level 180)
Suggested equipment: Protect from Melee and slayer dart works. It will spawn four level 89 Swarming turoth as you fight. Like all turoths, it is immune to attacks not dealt by the Leaf-bladed spear, Leaf-bladed sword, Broad arrows, Broad-tipped bolts, or the slayer dart spell.



Kurask overlord (Level 240)
It is recommended to use the Protect from melee prayer and attack with slayer dart; it will spawn several Kurask minions during the fight. Like all Kurasks, it is immune to attacks not dealt by the Leaf-bladed spear, Leaf-bladed sword, Broad arrows, Broad-tipped bolts, or the slayer dart spell.

Portals
In each of the four lower chambers are portals that lead directly to the associated monsters in that room. There are also pulsing markings in some areas of the dungeon. These marks are in all 4 areas and they teleport you to the corresponding creatures area in the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon. These portals combined with a Slayer ring make getting deep into the Slayer dungeon very quick regardless of the player's Agility level, especially the Kurask and Turoth portals.
