Salve Amulet
Prayer Potions(4)
Teleport Item (Teleportation Runes, an Ectophial, etc.)

Please note that there is a Banker located at the beginning of the Dungeon, if you need to get any of these items. He charges a fee of 100 Gold Pieces for his services.

Starting Point: The Entrance to Tarn's Lair can be found on the first level of the Haunted Mine, which is southwest of Mort'ton and west of Burgh de Rott.

Overview

Tarn's Lair is a huge system of Tunnels, Passages, and Rooms that are nearly impossible to navigate. As well, there is a large number of Traps dispersed through the Lair, making it even harder to get through. On top of these Traps and Tunnels is a large variety of Minions, undead and animated, on a mission to keep you from reaching their leader: Tarn Razorlor.

To use the Map, go through one of the Doors listed under your current Room (i.e. A2, which is located in Room A).

Traps

On the Floor, you'll see spaces that are circles and squares. Circle spaces are always safe, but the same can not be said for a square. Avoid all squares with markings, as these have Traps, and navigate from circle to circle. You can either avoid these Traps, or you can disarm them (assuming your Thieving Level is good enough). On the Walls, be careful of Spikes inside of the Walls you're passing. If you happen to step in front of one, they'll stab you and cause some damage. You can avoid them by going around the Spikes, or disarming them.lso on the Walls are Traps that will attempt to push you off of the ledge. These can be identified by noticing where a few bricks stick out from the wall. The only way to get past these is to avoid them, as there is no way to disarm them.

When jumping on to Pillars, make sure to look for Log Traps (which look like a giant Log attached to chains). If you're hit, you'll be knocked from the Pillar onto the Floor below. To get past these, you need to search the ground and, when you find the switch, disarm it.

Paths to the Lair of Tarn Razorlor

Below are two different paths to reaching Tarn's Room (Room W). The first is text-based and will take you by the Banker, while the second incorporates pictures and is slightly faster.

Path 1

First, go through Door A3, which is to on the far northeast side of the Room and takes you to N6.
Go through Door N1, the westernmost Door of the Room and the one that will take you to M3.
Go through Door M2, which is to the north and takes you to Q1.
Use Door Q3, the one to the west, and travel to Room R.
Head through Door R2, which is to the north and leads to U1.
Go through Door U2, the eastern Door, and go to Room V.
Take Door V1, which takes you to Tarn's Lair.

Path 2

To start off, go through Door A2, to the east.
Once in Room B, travel east from where you entered, until you reach a Room with a Staircase.

Go up these Stairs and search the spot on the Floor directly west of where you reached the top of the Stairs. Disable the Trap hidden in the Floor, then jump from Pillar to Pillar until you reach the other side. Go through this Door (P2)
Once in Room P, run to the other side and head through the Door there (P1).
You'll now be in the center of Room N. Use the Door on the western side that is more western than the other one. This will take you to the Room M, which has three Doors.
Go through the northern Door in Room M (M2), which takes you to Room Q.
Use Door Q3, the one to the west, and travel to Room R.
Head through Door R2, which is to the north and leads to U1.
Go through Door U2, the eastern Door, and go to Room V.
Take Door V1, which takes you to Tarn's Lair.

Defeating Tarn

Once you've entered Tarn's Room (Room W), you'll see a short cutscene, which shows Tarn going insane. He'll then release his Terror Dogs (Level 100 or 110) to attack you. You can choose to fight either Tarn or his Dogs at first (Note: Terror Dogs require Level 40 Slayer to kill and sometimes drop Granite Helmets). Also, there are pieces of Armor on that ground that will turn into Steel Armor (Level 53) and attack you if you get to close to them. Tarn has two forms, Mutant and Human, both of which are under Level 70. Once you kill his Mutant form, he'll turn into Human form, which you should then kill. Killing both forms of Tarn earns you 5,000 Slayer Experience. Also, it should be noted that in Tarn's Room, your Prayer Points will deplete quickly, much like in the Barrows. If you plan on using Protection or other Prayers, it is recommended that you bring Prayer Potions with you.

Once you've defeated him and disposed of however many Minions you want, go into the Book Room (Door W2) and pick up the Book (You can read it, but it is not necessary). If you use this Book with your Salve Amulet, it will then give you a boost of +20% Strength and Accuracy against undead Monsters, instead of the original +15%.
