Locations to Find Blue Dragons
There are some locations where you are able to find blue dragons. Those locations are listed below.
-
- Taverley Dungeon
You will need a Dusty key or level 70 Agility (65 with summer pie).
-
-
- 12 more can be found in the upper level, but you are only able to kill them if they have a blue dragon slayer assignment. You are able to find the entrance near the north safespot where the dragons reside.
-
-
- Ogre Enclave
Make sure that you have completed Watchtower.
-
- Heroes’ Guild
Make sure that you have completed Heroes’ Quest.
-
- Corsair Cove Dungeon
Make sure that you have completed Dragon Slayer II.
If you want to find blue dragons in Taverley dungeon, from Falador West Bank, you are able to use the Agility shortcut. With it, you will be brought to the south of Taverley Dungeon. Then, you have to run your way towards it and when you arrive there, you have to climb down the ladder.
How to Kill a Blue Dragon
If player have completed Dragon Slayer II, it is better for them to kill blue dragons in the Myths’ Guild basement. It is because they are closer to a bank and also it is an easy access with the mythical cape teleport. Players are able to attack this dragon safely and effectively with Ranged, level 70+ recommended, or Magic where Fire Bolt or Fire Blast is recommended.
Players can safespot the single blue dragon in the Heroes’ Guild easily. Players can access it very quickly with a games necklace, banking in the Rogues’ Den, even though it may be hard to find an empty world.
If players use Taverley Dungeon, each trip will require a few minutes to bank hides and bones. The best way of banking is to teleport to Falador by using a Falador teleport tablet, bank at Falador West Bank and go back to the dungeon, use the shortcut in the western wall of the city and then run north-west bank to the dungeon entrance. By having 70 Agility, the agility shortcut to the blue dragon area may be able to be used and running from the Falador west bank to this part of the dungeon will take a couple of minutes. At 65 Agility, the shortcut can be used. However, it requires the use of Summer pies for boosting to 70 Agility. It is recommended to have at least 65 Agility to use the pipe shortcut. Running around the dungeon will be very time consuming and it will require the player to take the dusty key which will greatly decrease kills per hour. If players pick up drops in rotation, kills per hour may be maximised because it takes a second or two for each dragon’s drops to appear after being killed.
How to Protect from Dragonfire
There are two methods for providing players partial protection. Those are listed below.
-
- An anti dragon shield or a dragonfire shield will be able to give players high protection where it can reduce dragonfire damage significantly.
- An antifire potion will be able to give you partial protection where it results in damage reduction generally with resistance which is the same as the shield mentioned above. Sometimes, players may go through ‘horribly burnt by the dragon fire’ where they get moderate damage.
The methods below will give 100% protection from dragonfire, but each of them has its own pros and cons.
-
- An antifire potion + an anti-dragon or a dragonfire shield is temporary but it can save a large amount of food considering the length of each potion lasts. This method is very recommended because players can use prayer flicking to Protect from Melee, which then can abolish 100% of damage.
- An antifire potion + Protect from Magic is not recommended. It is because the prayer potions will spend the high cost. It is only recommended for players who have a high level Prayer. As an alternative, prayer flicking is an option.
