OSRS Tekton Guide: Gear, Movement, Anvil Phase & Strategy

Overview: Tekton at a Glance

Tekton is a full boss in the raid group, rated 4 out of 5 in our boss index and normally fought solo or team.

Before you can fight Tekton you need Chambers of Xeric.

Anvil phase movement is what this fight actually asks of you, and it is the thing standing between you and raid points toward CoX uniques.

Its own attack is melee (stab), melee (slash) and melee (crush), so Protect from Melee is the prayer it asks for.

In our index it sits in the raid group at difficulty 4 of 5, where kill times come down to anvil phase movement.

Access Requirements

Tekton is gated behind Chambers of Xeric.

Chambers of Xeric also tends to sit alongside the other raid 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

Tekton is fought in a combat room in the Chambers of Xeric.

Tekton is a room, not a destination — he appears in the Chambers of Xeric as one of the possible combat encounters, and he was the artisan who built the chambers in the first place.

Drops and What Tekton Is Worth

Drops worth the trip: Raid points toward CoX uniques. Whether that is worth your time depends on how many kills an hour you personally get, which is a function of anvil phase movement rather than of your gear list.

Combat Achievements

Tekton has Combat Achievement tasks. At a 52 max hit, a capped-gear restriction is the awkward kind: you lose damage without losing anything it throws at you.

Task lists move with updates — read the current list in game.
