Bloodblight Swamp Vault Walkthrough

Use a Weak Antipoison Potion

Make your way to the central path from the entrance of the vault until you reach a large cavern system filled with poison. You'll need to use a Weak Antipoison Potion to safely proceed as the poison can quickly kill you and there's currently no way to outheal the poison even with health potions.

Follow the ruined path, defeating the patrolling putrid rats along the way, and make your way to a small corridor with a fire dart trap to proceed to the next area.

How to Create Weak Antipoison Potions

Potion Recipe
Antipoison Potion Harralander x1
Bittercap Mushroom x1
Clay Vessel x1

You can create Weak Antipoison Potions by mixing one Bittercap Mushroom, one Harralander, and one Clay Vessel in a Brewing Cauldron.

Harralander and Bittercap Mushrooms are found in the Whispering Swamp while Clay Vessels are made from Clay on a Pottery Wheel and then fired up in a Kiln.

Defeat the Vault Guardians

Head into the next area where you'll encounter two Vault Guardian Hulks and a Vault Guardian Sentinel. One of the Hulks is located on the bottom and won't aggro immediately if you attack the one on the top floor.

We recommend using a bow to snipe the Vault Guardian Sentinel on the top floor first. Two headshots are enough to destroy it, giving you time to do the same to the now alert Vault Guardian Hulk before it reaches you. With those two gone, you can safely defeat the remaining Vault Guardian Hulk.

Once all enemies, head up to the top floor and loot the Vault Core from the pedestal as well as the nearby treasure chest.

Interact with the Dragonkin Effigy

Proceed through the next poison area and head up the stairs to reach a large room with a total of 4 Vault Guardians. As soon as you attack the Sentinel on the bottom floor, two Vault Guardian Hulks will swarm you so swap to your melee weapon and defeat them fast to avoid getting swarmed.

Once all enemies are defeated, interact with the nearby Dragonkin Effigy to receive the recipe for the Wild Archer Cowl. Make your way to the top floor and through a trapped corridor to proceed to the next area.

Hop Across the Pillars to Reach the Next Area

Make your way throught the corridor and head upstairs but before proceeding to the large open area, pull the nearby lever to open the previously locked gate near the entrance.

You'll need to hop across the ruined pillars to reach the next area on the opposite side of the room. Be ready to fight as there are some Vault Guardian Hulks and Sentinels along the way, as well as a few Putrid Rats.

Before hopping to the next area, interact with the Dragonkin Effigy to receive the recipe for the Wild Archer Body.

Grab the Vault Core from the Hidden Alcove

Once you hop across the first set of pillars, tilt your camera to the left and upwards where you'll spot a hidden alcove. Use Windstep to reach it and grab the Vault Core](/games/Runescape-Dragonwilds/archives/515626).

Pull the Lever to Open the Boss Room

Hop across to the next area and destroy the remaining Vault Guardian Sentinel and pull the lever to open the vault's boss room.

Unlike other vaults, this room is occupied by a Plague King, a larger version of the Putrid Rat. It's easier to fight compared to the Guardians as you can block its attacks with a shield.

Defeat the boss and interact with the last Dragonkin Effigy to receive the recipe for the Wild Archer Chaps. Make your way to the top of the room and loot the Vault Core from the pedestal as well as the nearby chest.

Bloodblight Swamp Vault Rewards

Bloodblight Swamp Vault houses at least two Vault Cores. You can use these to build a Smithing Anvil or to craft Masterwork Weapons.

This vault is located in Bloodblight Swamp which is an area that is perpetually poisonous, so it's a good idea to bring a few Weak Antipoison Potions to safely reach the vault.

We also recommend bringing a healthy supply of healing potions, as well as food and clean water before venturing in.
