Fighting the monsters in The TzHaar city can be a very expensive process; the monsters hit hard and prayer potions are very expensive. The two main drops that all TzHaar slayers want are Obsidian Shields and Obsidian capes. But you can also get Obsidian Mauls, Maces, Swords, Knives and Throwing Disks. You can also get Obsidian Staffs but they are much harder work. This guide will show you how to fight in the caves effectively and efficiently, no matter your combat style.

There are a number of ways to get to the TzHaar City. The first and foremost would be on foot. The TzHaar City's entrance is located within the Karamja Volcano. Another common method to reach the TzHaar City is to use Fairy Rings and the code BLP.

The following are recommendations only. They are only guidelines to surviving and training at the TzHaars.

Armour with a high crush defence is a very good idea, with your ideal combat level being around 75 onwards. However if you are going to only slay the TzHaar-Xil then you dont need to focus so much on the crush defence.

The best way to slay TzHaars is with melee, there are mage/range spots but they arent very good.

Barrows are most likely the easiest way to train on TzHaars. The ideal Barrows armours to use on them are Torags, Guthans and Dharoks. Dharoks will do the job, but it is possible for even level 100+ players to die against TzHaars because they weren't careful. Remember the max hit for TzHaars is in the range of 14-16. If you use Dharoks make sure to use protect against melee earlier on than against other monsters, due to the risk.

Using Initiate or Proselyte armour saves the most money out of all equipment sets because these armours reduce the rate your prayer is drained when using the protect from melee prayer. This means that you save money from buying prayer potions. However, this method is not the best in terms of training. Initiate or Proselyte armours are also extremely cheap when compared to Torags or Dharoks. This method is also recommended to those who do not have high enough defence to equip barrows.

	Requirements: 43+ Prayer: Needed to use the Protect from Melee Prayer. 20 defence: Needed to equip Initiate Armour. Slug Menace Quest: Needed to equip Proselyte Armour. Recruitment Drive Quest: Needed to equip Initiate Armour.	Recommendations: Level 80+ combat: Ability to survive in the TzHaar City. Some good food: Lobsters, swordfish, monkfish or sharks. Horror of the Deep Quest: Needed to equip a magic book.
	Head: Proselyte sallet, or Initiate helm Cape: Legends cape or Obsidian Cape Amulet: Unholy Symbol, Holy Symbol, or Amulet of Glory Chest: Proselyte hauberk, or Initiate platemail Gloves: Barrows Gloves, Klank's Gauntlets, Family Crest Gauntlets, or White (Knight) Gloves Shield: Any prayer book will do but I recommend the Unholy Book (Zamorak) Legs: Proselyte cuisse/tasset, or Initiate platelegs Boots: White (Knight) Boots, Rune Boots or Climbing Boots Note: Don't bring a ring of life because it can be a nuisance and a ring of wealth is advised.

By far, the best armour to train at TzHaars is Barrows. Guthans and Dharoks are good choices, but because of its high crush defence, Torags is the best Barrows armour suited for TzHaar training.

Requirements: 70+ combat: Needed to defeat and survive the Tzhaars. 70 defence: Needed to epuip Barrows Armour. Head: Torag's Helm Cape: Legends cape, Fire cape, obsidian cape Amulet: Amulet of Glory Chest: Torag's Platebody Gloves: Barrow Gloves or Dragon Gloves Shield: Rune defender or obsidian shield Legs: Torag Legs Boots: Rune boots Note: A ring of recoil can be very helpful. Don't bring a ring of life if you plan to Dharok and a ring of wealth is advised.

Recommendations: 43+ Prayer: Needed to use the Protect from Melee Prayer. Rum Deal quest: Needed to have access to a holy wrench. Level 80+ combat Some good food(lobster or higher) Level 70+ attack, strength, defence and hitpoints.

For those who can't afford barrows, but still want a strong armour, rune armour is the best. Rune does not cost as much as barrows, but it also has no effect to your prayer. If you do plan on wearing rune armour, expect to be hit hard and pack food.

	Requirements: 70+ combat: Needed to defeat and survive the Tzhaars. 40 defence: Needed to epuip rune armour. Completion of the Dragon Slayer Quest to equip a rune platebody.	Recommendations: 43+ Prayer: Needed to use the Protect from Melee Prayer. Level 80+ combat Some good food(lobster or higher) Level 60+ attack, strength, defence and hitpoints.
	Head: Rune Full Helmet Cape: Legends Cape, Fire cape, Obsidian Cape Amulet: Amulet of Glory, Amulet of Strength, Amulet of Power, Amulet of Fury Chest: Rune platebody or Rune chainbody Gloves: Barrow Gloves, Dragon gloves Shield: Rune kiteshield, obsidian shield, rune defender Legs: Rune platelegs Boots: Rune boots Note: A ring of recoil may help, ring of wealth is advised.

If you do range, it is a good idea to use a similar layout to this and it is likely that the enchanted pearl bolt effect has increased effect on them since they are "fiery." Any bolts that have a good effect against monsters will do the job. Furthermore having 80+ range will allow you to kill far, far more and much faster too.

Requirements: 70+ combat: Needed to defeat and survive the Tzhaars. 40 defence: Needed to epuip dragonhide armour. Completion of the Dragon Slayer Quest to equip a green dragonhide body. Head: Ranger Helm or Robin Hat. Cape: Obsidian cape Amulet: Amulet of Glory Chest: The best dragonhide body you can equip Gloves: The best dragonhide vambraces you can equip Shield: A God book is helpful if using a crossbow. Legs: The best dragonhide chaps you can equip Boots: Robin Hood Boots Note: An archer ring can help, but a ring of wealth is advised.

Recommendations: Level 80+ range The best dragonhide you can use. Some good food(lobster or higher) Level 60+ hitpoints.

There are four specific Tzhaar creatures you can train on:

TzHaar-Hur
	Combat:	74
	Hitpoints:	80
	Members:	Yes
	Attack Style:	Melee
	Examine:	Looks like a craftsman of some kind.

TzHaar-Mej
	Combat:	103
	Hitpoints:	100
	Members:	Yes
	Attack Style:	Magic and Melee
	Examine:	Appears to be some kind of mystic.

TzHaar-Xil
	Combat:	133
	Hitpoints:	120
	Attack Style:	Melee and Range
	Examine:	Doesn't look very social.

TzHaar-Ket
	Combat:	149
	Hitpoints:	140
	Attack Style:	Melee
	Examine:	Must be a guard or something.

Note: All the TzHaars are non-aggressive.

1. Go the fight caves; make sure your prayer is fully charged.
   
   
2. Put on Protect from Melee and attack a monster if you are using the initiate layout. It's a good idea to kill TzHaar-Ket or TzHaar-Xil, as they have the better drops and they use melee attacks. Watch out for the TzHaar-Xil holding ranging rings. Either keep killing monsters until you run out of prayer or switch to using prayer when you run out of food. A good spot for fighting the monsters in the area just south of the bank.
   
   
3. Once your prayer runs out, let a monster get you to around 20 HP. Once your HP is low run inside the fight caves.
   
   
4. Once inside of the fight caves take all of your armour off and make sure that only your weapon is equipped. Attack the monsters until they kill you (don't worry; you won't lose any items). Once you die you will appear outside; you will be given some Tokkul and you will have HP and Prayer fully restored!

There are two safe-spots available to players that wish to range or mage. These spots are relatively safe and can save money because of using less prayer potions. Both safe-spots are nearby the gold mine (Picture).

Each TzHaar Monster drops Tokkul, which can be used to purchase the elusive Obsidian Items. The following table shows each item, its price and its bonuses. Some of the items are made from the Onyx gem that can be brought from the city. It is also important to note when buying TzHaar items that wearing Karamja gloves attained from the Karamja Achievement diary can lower prices.

Notes: The Berserker Necklace also increases the amount of damage the wearer deals while using an obsidian weapon. The Bracelet of Regeneration halves hitpoint recovery time.

A: It is mildly good combat experience; however, if you used food or prayer potions it would be faster (and more expensive).

A: Proselyte Armour is an upgrade of the original Initiate Armour. In order to obtain the Proselyte Armour, you must first complete Slug Menace.

A: Yes, you can attack TzHaars while other players are attacking them, the same with TzHaars attacking you. This can be useful for training since you can kill them in groups.
