OSRS How to Get to Brimhaven Dungeon Guide

In Old School RuneScape (OSRS), Brimhaven Dungeon is a treasure trove of adventure, packed with powerful monsters like metal dragons, demons, and giants. Located on the tropical island of Karamja, it’s a hotspot for slayer tasks, loot farming, and combat training. But getting there can feel tricky if you’re new to the game or unfamiliar with Karamja’s layout. This guide will walk you through every method to reach Brimhaven Dungeon, from teleports to boat rides, ensuring you’re ready to dive into its depths. Whether you’re chasing dragon bones or tackling a slayer task, we’ve got you covered with detailed steps, tips, and requirements.

Brimhaven Dungeon is one of OSRS’s most iconic locations, known for its diverse monster roster and valuable drops. It’s a members-only area southwest of Brimhaven, requiring a small fee (or a one-time payment) to enter. Before we dive into travel methods, let’s quickly highlight why it’s worth the trip:

• High-Value Drops: Metal dragons drop dragon platelegs, plateskirts, and the rare Draconic Visage.
• Slayer Tasks: Home to black demons, greater demons, and red dragons, perfect for mid-to-high-level slayer.
• Combat Training: Fire giants and moss giants offer solid XP for combat skills.
• Resource Dungeon: With 99 Dungeoneering, access a bonus area with steel and iron dragons.

Now, let’s explore the best ways to get there, starting with the fastest options.

Teleportation Methods for Quick Access

Teleporting is the most efficient way to reach Brimhaven Dungeon, minimizing travel time and hassle. Here are the top teleportation methods, each with specific requirements and steps.

House Teleport (Player-Owned House in Brimhaven)

If your player-owned house (POH) is in Brimhaven, this is hands-down the fastest route.

• Requirements: 40 Construction (or 35 with a Crystal Saw), 100,000 coins to relocate your house to Brimhaven, and a Teleport to House tablet or runes (1 Law, 1 Air, 1 Earth).
• Steps:
  1. Cast Teleport to House or use a tablet.
  2. Exit your house portal in Brimhaven.
  3. Run southwest for about 30 seconds to reach the dungeon entrance.
• Tip: If you die in the dungeon, this method makes reclaiming items a breeze. Keep a Scroll of Redirection (Nightmare Zone reward) handy to teleport directly to Brimhaven if your POH is elsewhere.

Karamja Lodestone Teleport

The Karamja lodestone is a free, no-requirement teleport close to the dungeon.

• Requirements: None (unlocked via the Lodestone Network).
• Steps:
  1. Activate the Karamja lodestone if you haven’t already (visit Karamja and interact with it).
  2. Use the Home Teleport spell and select Karamja.
  3. Run northwest for about 45 seconds to the dungeon entrance.
• Tip: This is ideal for free-to-play players transitioning to members or those without teleport items.

Amulet of Glory Teleport

The Amulet of Glory offers a reliable teleport to Musa Point, a short jog from Brimhaven.

• Requirements: Charged Amulet of Glory (4 charges per ruby amulet, rechargeable at the Fountain of Rune).
• Steps:
  1. Equip or rub the Amulet of Glory and select “Karamja.”
  2. Arrive at Musa Point and run west, then south, for about 1–2 minutes to reach the dungeon.
• Tip: Recharge your amulet at the Fountain of Rune in the Wilderness to save charges for multiple trips.

Boat and Charter Ship Routes

If teleports aren’t your style or you lack the requirements, sailing to Brimhaven is a classic OSRS experience. These methods involve small coin costs but are accessible early in the game.

Ardougne to Brimhaven Boat

This boat ride is quick and affordable, docking directly in Brimhaven.

• Requirements: 30 coins (15 with Karamja Gloves 1 or free with Ring of Charos (a)).
• Steps:
  1. Teleport to Ardougne (via spell, tablet, or cloak) or walk from Camelot.
  2. Head to the docks east of the Ardougne market.
  3. Pay Captain Barnaby 30 coins (or use Ring of Charos for free).
  4. Arrive in Brimhaven and run southwest for 30–40 seconds to the dungeon.
• Tip: Completing Karamja Diary tasks unlocks gloves that halve boat costs, saving coins over time.

Port Sarim to Musa Point Boat

This route lands you at Musa Point, requiring a longer walk than the Ardougne option.

• Requirements: 30 coins (15 with Karamja Gloves 1 or free with Ring of Charos (a)).
• Steps:
  1. Travel to Port Sarim (walk from Falador or teleport via Rimmington tablet).
  2. Find Captain Tobias at the docks and pay 30 coins.
  3. Sail to Musa Point, then run west and south for 1.5–2 minutes to the dungeon.
• Tip: Avoid this if you have access to Ardougne’s boat—it’s slower and less efficient.

Charter Ship to Brimhaven

Charter ships offer flexibility, departing from various ports, but they’re pricier.

• Requirements: 400–3,660 coins (depends on departure port; Port Sarim to Brimhaven is 1,600 coins).
• Steps:
  1. Head to a charter ship dock (Port Sarim, Catherby, or Port Khazard are common).
  2. Pay the fare to sail to Brimhaven.
  3. From Brimhaven’s dock, run southwest for 30 seconds to the dungeon.
• Tip: Use this only if you’re already near a charter port and low on teleport options.

Alternative Routes for Adventurers

For players who enjoy scenic routes or have specific unlocks, these methods add flavor to your journey while still getting you to Brimhaven Dungeon.

Fairy Ring (CKR)

Fairy rings are a quirky, magical way to travel, landing you near Tai Bwo Wannai.

• Requirements: Started Fairy Tale II – Cure a Queen (no completion needed), Dramen or Lunar Staff.
• Steps:
  1. Equip your staff and use any fairy ring.
  2. Enter code CKR to teleport to Tai Bwo Wannai.
  3. Run north for about 1 minute to reach the dungeon entrance.
• Tip: If you’re heading to the bronze dragon area, use the alternate entrance west of Tai Bwo Wannai (requires 5,000 trading sticks one-time fee).

Spirit Tree to Brimhaven

If you’ve grown a spirit tree in Brimhaven, this is a free and stylish option.

• Requirements: 83 Farming, spirit seed, and a planted spirit tree behind the Brimhaven Agility Arena.
• Steps:
  1. Use any spirit tree (e.g., Grand Exchange) and select Brimhaven.
  2. Arrive near the Agility Arena and run southwest for 40 seconds to the dungeon.
• Tip: This is a long-term investment for farmers but saves time and coins once set up.

Tai Bwo Wannai Teleport Scroll

Clue scroll hunters might have this handy teleport item.

• Requirements: Tai Bwo Wannai Teleport Scroll (obtained from clue scrolls).
• Steps:
  1. Use the scroll to teleport to Tai Bwo Wannai.
  2. Run west to the alternate dungeon entrance (if unlocked) or north to the main entrance.
• Tip: Save these scrolls for slayer tasks to access the bronze dragon area quickly.

Dungeon Entry Requirements and Tips

Once you arrive at Brimhaven Dungeon, you’re not quite in yet. Here’s what you need to enter and navigate the dungeon effectively.

Paying the Entrance Fee

The main entrance is guarded by Saniboch, who charges a fee unless you’ve unlocked free access.

Option	Cost	Requirements
Single Entry	875 coins	None
Permanent Access	1,000,000 coins	None
Free Entry	None	Karamja Gloves 3 (Hard Karamja Diary)
Alternate Entrance	5,000 trading sticks (one-time)	Access via Banisoch, west of Tai Bwo Wannai

Tip: If you visit often, the 1M coin permanent access is a worthwhile investment, especially for slayer or dragon hunting.

Navigating the Dungeon

The dungeon has skill-based obstacles that can slow you down if unprepared.

• Axe for Vines: Requires 10 Woodcutting to cut vines at the entrance (34 Woodcutting for deeper areas). A bronze axe spawns in Brimhaven’s Dead Man’s Chest bar if you forget one.
• Stepping Stones: Needs 12 Agility to cross (rarely fails, but deals minor damage if you do).
• Recommended Gear: Bring high-defense armor, food (lobsters or sharks), and antifire potions for dragon fights.

Tip: Use Protect from Melee when running past aggressive monsters like wild dogs or fire giants to save health.

Which Method Should You Choose?

Choosing the best route depends on your account’s unlocks, budget, and playstyle. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:

• Fastest: House Teleport (if POH is in Brimhaven) or Karamja Lodestone for no-item players.
• Cheapest: Karamja Lodestone (free) or Ardougne boat (30 coins or free with Ring of Charos).
• Most Accessible: Amulet of Glory or Port Sarim boat, as both require minimal unlocks.
• Most Thematic: Fairy ring or spirit tree for that immersive OSRS vibe.

For most players, the Karamja Lodestone or House Teleport strikes the best balance of speed and accessibility. If you’re low on teleports, the Ardougne boat is a solid fallback.

Pro Tip: Always carry 875 coins (or unlock permanent access) and an axe to avoid being stuck at the entrance. For slayer tasks, check if the alternate entrance near Tai Bwo Wannai saves you time.

With these methods, you’re ready to tackle Brimhaven Dungeon’s challenges. Whether you’re after loot, XP, or adventure, getting there is half the fun. Safe travels, and happy scaping!
