===Getting to Tarn Razorlor===
[[File:Tarn's Lair map.png|thumb|A map of Tarn's Lair, with the route highlighted in green]]
The [[ring of slaying]] can teleport you directly to Tarn's lair, if you've unlocked it.

The entrance to Tarn's Lair is at the northern end of the ground level of the [[Abandoned Mine]].

* [[Drakan's medallion]] will teleport players to [[Burgh de Rott]], where a shortcut over a fence to the west leads to the mine.
* Taking the shortcut under the [[Hair of the Dog]] tavern in [[Canifis]] and travelling on the [[Swamp Boat]] brings players close to [[Mort'ton]].

For a guide to the correct path through the dungeon, see [[Tarn's Lair#Route]].

===Fighting Tarn Razorlor===

Upon entering the room with [[Tarn]], a [[cutscene]] of Tarn transforming into a green mutant with lashing tentacles and unleashing two level 65 [[terror dog]]s plays. After this cutscene, the fight will begin. [[Animated steel armour]] will also attack if moved near them.

Tarn can attack with both melee and magic, but attacks solely with melee if approached. Since the terror dogs can only use melee, [[Protect from Melee]] or [[Deflect Melee]] is strongly recommended, but Prayer is drained constantly, so bring [[Prayer potion]]s. Tarn is weak to [[Air spells]] in his first form.

After his first form is defeated, he will turn into a ghost, and is now weak to [[thrown weapons]]. [[Tarn Razorlor]] is the only monster required to be killed, so ignoring the minions and turning off [[Auto Retaliate]] is recommended.

As soon as Tarn is defeated, a room will open up. [[Tarn's diary]] is in this next room on a table. Use the diary with a [[salve amulet]] to create a [[salve amulet (e)]]. This completes the miniquest.

==Rewards==
* {{Skill XP|Slayer|5000}}
* [[Tarn's diary]]
* [[Salve amulet (e)]], which gives 20% accuracy and damage bonuses across all combat styles against the [[undead]]

==Trivia==
* If players had bought or learned to make a [[ring of slaying]], they used to be able to teleport into Tarn's Lair and fight him directly without having to go through the whole dungeon. As part of the [[15 September]] [[2010]] update this ability was temporarily removed, forcing players to journey through the entire dungeon. It was reinstated in a later update prior to [[8 December]] [[2010]], before finally being removed again on [[28 November]] [[2011]]. As of [[8 January]] [[2017]] you can teleport directly to Tarn after completion of [[Haunted Mine]].
