[FAQ] • [doc]

Turoth are Slayer monsters that require a Slayer of 55 to kill. They drop herbs and herb seeds fairly commonly, though not as frequently as Aberrant spectres.

Turoth, like Kurasks, must be killed with either a Leaf-bladed spear, a Leaf-bladed sword, a Slayer's staff/Magic Dart spell (which also requires a Magic level of 50), or Broad arrows/Broad-tipped bolts, or else your attacks will be ineffective. Also, none of the weapons required to kill this monster are poisonable, technically making the Turoth immune to poison.

A Leaf-bladed sword is an alternative for players who have the money to purchase it. The sword is faster than its spear counterpart, and is only one-handed, leaving room for the player to equip a shield or defender. If using the spear or sword, it is recommended that players use the Stab style, as the weapons give a higher stab bonus than slash or crush.

Turoth seem to be weak to range. There is a safespot on the northern wall in the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon making it very easy to hit them with Broad-tipped bolts. Because of this trips can be made very long. There is another safespot at the southern end of the cave in the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon. A player must lure it to the passage leading into the Kurasks, and walk halfway and attack with Magic Dart, Broad arrows, or Broad-tipped bolts.

The lower-levelled Turoth have a maximum hit of 9 damage, while the higher-levelled ones can hit up to 10. They are fairly inaccurate, but if they hit, they usually hit high.

Since out of all the methods of slaying Turoth, only the arrows have a special attack (if used with a magic shortbow, magic longbow or a dark bow), a useful tactic is to use Excalibur's or enhanced excalibur's special attack to boost defence (and heal hitpoints if using enhanced Excalibur).

What to Take

Leaf-bladed spear or Leaf-bladed sword
Good melee Armour
Nature runes and staff of fire or equivalent to high alchemise armour drops
Method of Healing, such as:
- Excalibur or Enhanced Excalibur
- Bones to Peaches
- Rapid Heal prayer

Range Safe Spot

There is a safe training method for rangers against the monster, Turoth. Inside the Fremennik Slayer dungeon along the west wall lies a hole in which players can easily lure a Turoth from the north to and safely kill it. This position puts the monster one block distance away and is pictured below.

Trivia

Players kill a Turoth during the Slayer cape emote.
Uri from the Treasure Trails says; "In the end only the three legged will survive." Turoth are one of the only three legged species in RuneScape, so he may be referring to them.
Turoth have some similarities with Frogs as they make a croak-like noise and leap high in the air before they die.
According to their examine information, all Level 87 Turoths (large and dark with spikes) are female, and all Level 89 Turoth (large and dark without spikes) are male. Although the males are two combat levels stronger the females are slightly larger and spikier, which suggests that the females may in fact the dominant gender of the Turoth. The examine information "He's one big leg short" compared to "She's one leg short!" suggests that the males should actually be larger than the females, but this does not seem to be true of the character models.
