OSRS: Full Revenants Guide (2024)

So much gold can be made from killing Revenants. This Old School RuneScape Revenants guide contains everything you’ll need to know to kill them safely at any Combat level including how to get there, your gear and inventory, the strategies, the drops, and how they work. Content for this article was inspired by Theoatrix OSRS's video.

Any level player can kill Revenantssince there is a wide range of different types of them. But at this point in time, the Forinthry Dungeon is the most popular PK hotspotwith almost every level of PK’ers. Since so much OSRS goldcan be made from killing Revenants, PK’ers lurk around the cave all the time. It is highly recommended to have at least 43 Prayer so that you can use the Protection Prayers in particular Protect from Magic when you are trying to get away from those PK’ers.

You can be assigned Revenantsas a Slayer task from Krystiliawho is the Wilderness Slayer master, and that lets youtake advantage of the damage bonus from the Slayer helmet or the black mask.

Revenantscan also be killed normally. Using a Bracelet of ethereumwhich is charged with RevenantEther makes all the Revenantunaggressive and unable to deal any damage to you.

Each hit that the Revenantdoes to you uses 1 Revenantether which means it costs 80 rsgpper hit. It is highly recommended to use this bracelet but for some Ironmen, this isn’treally possible.

Getting There

Revenantsare located closer to the level 40 Forinthry Dungeon Entrancein the wilderness, but it can also be accessedfrom the level 17 Entrance.

The fastest way to the Revenantsis to use a Revenantcave teleport (30K rsgp) and that takes you directly north of the entrance of the high level cave.

The second fastest way to Revenantsis to make a Waka canoe with 57 Woodcutting and sail all the way into the Wilderness. This takes you really close to the deep Wilderness entrance, thenyou run a little north-west to go in.

The third fastest way to get there is to use Wilderness Obelisk, and if you’ve done the wilderness hard diaries and built all the Obelisk inside your Player-owned house, then getting by this way is highly recommended.

If you have none of those, then a burning amulet (2,415 rsgp) teleporting to the Lava Maze is your best option there. But there is a higher chance of running into PK’ers.

If you get teleport blocked at Revenants, almost always you’ll get piled by a team. If you have 89Agility, you’ll have a much better chance of getting away from PK’ers since there is a shortcut near the Revenantsthat not many people can access.

Gear &Inventory

At lower levels, you should always usethe best weapons you can. Since you have a lower Accuracy at a lower level, you should focus on faster weapons like the Rune Scimitar or the Magic shortbow.

Pures can take a Rune Crossbow (61 Ranged) with Diamond bolts(e).ABlowpipe (75 Ranged) with Rune darts/Dragon darts also works very well.

Useful Items

Salve Amulet

It is highly recommended to have a Salve Amulet which you can obtain after completingthe Haunted Minequest.

Regular: A regular one will give you 15% attack and strength boost (Melee) on the Revenants

Salve amulet(e): 20% Damage &Accuracy boost (Melee)

Salve amulet(i)or Salve amulet(ei): Gives boost in Magic and Ranged too

Melee: Use Salve amulet(e)always

Ranged: Use Salve amulet(ei) if you have a lot of NMZ points, otherwise use Anguish or Glory

*Note that the Slave amulet doesn’t stack with the Slayer helmet.

New Weapons

Recently, there are 3 new weapons and 1 new amulet that are dropped by Revenants:

Viggora’s chainmace

Craw’s bow

Thammaron’s sceptre

Amulet of Avarice

All 3 of the new weapons give 50% Damage & Accuracy boost on any wilderness monsters.Each attack you use with one of these weapons uses1 Revenantether which isnot veryexpensive.

The twobest ones for Revenantsare Craw’s bow and Viggora’s chainmace.Craw’s bowis arguably the most powerful but it’s very expensive. The Craw’s bowis about 260M RuneScape goldnow (August 10, 2018).The Thammaron’s sceptre is not the bestsince it requires runes anddoesn’t have aninbuilt magic spell, you have to bring runes with you,which increasesyour risk a lot.

Amulet of Avarice: This makes every single drop in the Revenantcaves noted. But whenever you are wearing the Amulet of Avarice, you will have a skull, and when you take off the amulet, you’ll still have a skull for 20 minutes. So it’s not the best for Revenants, but itcould be handy at a lower level when you don’t have expensive weaponry and armor.

Ranged Setup Tab

Black dragonhide armouris the best bet atthe Revenantsbecause they are so cheap and could save you from getting PKedwith its high Magic defence. Alternatively, if you haven’t unlocked Black dragonhide armour, the other dragonhide armour will be very good.

For Pures, you can wear Monk’s robes.

Keep in mind that you can only keep 3 items on death.

You might consider using Protect item, but many people are going to use Smite in the wilderness on multi-combat areas, so there is a good chance that you’ll lose your Prayer points.Most of the time, people will bring 3 very expensive items and onethat ischeaper but still very helpful.

Weapon: you can use Craw's bow, Ballista, Magic shortbow, Crossbows, or Blowpipe. Most players use Blowpipe (5.65M OSRS gp) on Revenants. The Blowpipewith high tier darts is one of the most powerful weapons to kill Revenants with.

Revenantsare weak to Crush, but not too much, so other attack styles still work.

Weapon: you can use Viggora’s Chainmace, Elder Maul, Abyssal Bludgeon, Abyssal Tentacle, or the Saradomin Sword. Always use a Bracelet of ethereum. Viggora’s Chainmace is the best for Melee, and Elder Maul comes second due to its massive hits which give you a pretty good chance of getting the drop. The Saradomin Sword is a great option and the Abyssal whip works as well, but you should always keep in mind that: Don’t take your defenders into the Wilderness if you will lose them on death. You can’t get them back if you go above level 30 Wilderness, and that’s the same with all untradables, so don’t take a Fire cape or an Infernal cape.

Other Useful Items

Optional Items

Phoenix necklace:

Phoenix necklaceis also a very useful item at the Revenants. It will restore your hitpoints by 30% of your total health when you go below 20% of yourhealth.

Dinh's bulwark:

This is also taken by some players especially now since the Revenantsare so popular. The two handed shield need 75 Attack and Defence to wield, and it has a very high Defence bonuses.

Note that Dinh's bulwark has aspecial attack,Shield Bash, which hits up to 10 enemies in a 11x11 area around the player, which means there is a good chance of you skulling on some nearby, so don’t use the special.

Looting Bag:

You can buy the Looting bag from the Bounty Hunter Store. You can also kill any monster in the Wilderness, and they have a chance at giving you one. A lot of players choose not to take a Looting bag, since you will lose it on death, and a lot of the time, you’ll run into PKs before finishing one inventory of food anyway.

High Alchemy:

You can also take high level alchemy to the Revenantsbecause there are a lot of Alchable drops.

Required Items

Sharks

Cooked karambwan

Saradomin brew

Ranged/Combat Potion

Stamina Potion (used for getting away from PKs and for getting into the dungeon)

1-Click Teleport

It is always a good idea to have a Teleport that can take you out of the level 30 Wildernesslike Dragonstone jewellery. If you’d like to risk a little bit less, you can take a Grand seed pod or the Slayer ring.

Strategy

Revenantsheal themselves whenever their health goes below 50%. Although they can constantly heal themselves, their healing ability is limited.So eventually you will hit through all of theirheals resulting in them dying.

When you’re attacking Revenants, always try to be the first one to get an attack so you can do as many attacks on the Revenant as possible.

The drops are dependent onwho does the most damage. So there are a lot of competitions between players forthe higher level Revenants.

If you are a low level player, you can hang around the RevenantImps and Goblins and try to hit those low level Revenantsinstead of attacking high level ones with other high level players.

If a PK’ers comes along,you should always make sure you’re using the appropriate Prayer switches. Wearing the full Black dragonhide armourand the Dinh's bulwarkis a great way of lowering the accuracy from the PK’ers, and whenever a PK’er attacks you withMagic likeFreezing or Teleblocking, you should always turn on your highest Magic boosting prayer and protect from Magic.

Magic boosting prayers increase you Magic defence, and if you have Augury, there is a much better chance of getting out of PK.

If you’ve been teleblocked and then frozen, you should only be using Magic boosting prayer and turn on protect from Range and switch to protect Melee when PK’ers come closer to you.

Drops

All Revenantsshare the same drop list, but higher level Revenants have a greater chance of dropping rarer items.

There are a lot of Rune and Dragon items that are dropped by Revenants. There are a lot of Runes and other resources that are useful for skilling like 9 Magic seed.The Craw’s bow, Thammaron’s scepter, and Viggora’s chainmace are all very rare drops from Revenants.

Ancient Statuettes

These statuettes can only be traded for gold with the Emblem Trader in the Revenant Caves. This must be done while on the official Bounty Hunterworld, so that’s quite risky. All these statuettes can be sold on GE as well, but it ‘s worth noting that if you get one as a drop, you will always lose it on death, So it would be better to sell them to GE.

Overall speaking, due to the amount of PKs, the RuneScape goldyou can make per hour at Revenantsis very debatable.
