OSRS Dagannoth Supreme Guide: Best Gear, Strategy & Drops

Overview: Dagannoth Supreme at a Glance

Dagannoth Supreme is a full boss in the standalone boss group, rated 3 out of 5 in our boss index and normally fought solo.

Before you can fight Dagannoth Supreme you need Horror from the Deep.

Supreme ranged lane is what this fight actually asks of you, and it is the thing standing between you and archers ring.

Its own attack is ranged, so Protect from Missiles is the prayer it asks for.

In our index it sits in the standalone boss group at difficulty 3 of 5, where kill times come down to Supreme ranged lane.

Access Requirements

Dagannoth Supreme is gated behind Horror from the Deep.

Horror from the Deep also tends to sit alongside the other standalone boss gates, so it is usually cheaper to clear them together than to come back for each one. The boss requirements checklist lists them by group.

Waterbirth Island from Rellekka and down into the dungeon. Supreme is the Ranged-based King and the only source of the archers ring and seercull, which is usually why you are making the trip at all.

Without a Grand Exchange, archers ring, dragon axe has to be earned rather than bought, and this is the fastest table it sits on.

It poisons, so your answer to poison — antidote doses, or food that cures as it heals — is part of planning the trip length.
