OSRS Obor Guide: Giant Keys, Gear, Mechanics & Drops

Overview: Obor at a Glance

Obor is a full boss in the beginner boss group, rated 1 out of 5 in our boss index and normally fought solo.

Before you can fight Obor you need Giant key from hill giants.

Giant key farming loop is what this fight actually asks of you, and it is the thing standing between you and hill giant club.

Its own attacks are melee (crush) and ranged, so Protect from Melee and Missiles both have a job.

In our index it sits in the beginner boss group at difficulty 1 of 5, where kill times come down to giant key farming loop.

Access Requirements

Obor is gated behind Giant key from hill giants.

Giant key from hill giants also tends to sit alongside the other beginner 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.

Location and How to Get There

Obor is found in his lair behind the locked gates on the western wall of the hill giant area in the Edgeville Dungeon.

Enter the Edgeville Dungeon, run to the hill giants, and use a giant key on the gates. The key is consumed per attempt, so your real trip planning is about how many keys you have banked rather than how fast you can travel.
