How to Get to Lighthouse in Old School RuneScape

Navigating the world of Old School RuneScape (OSRS) can be an adventure filled with quests, challenges, and unique locations. One such destination is the Lighthouse, a key area located north of the Barbarian Outpost and west of Rellekka. It plays a central role in the Horror from the Deep quest and is a popular spot for Slayer tasks due to its dagannoth-filled dungeon. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a newcomer to Gielinor, getting to the Lighthouse can seem daunting due to its remote location. This guide will walk you through the various methods to reach the Lighthouse, including teleports, walking routes, and quest requirements, ensuring you arrive ready to tackle whatever awaits.

The Lighthouse is more than just a scenic coastal building; it’s a hub for several in-game activities. Here’s why you might want to make the trip:

• Quest Hub: The Lighthouse is the starting point and main setting for the Horror from the Deep quest, which unlocks access to the dungeon and Jossik’s general store.
• Slayer Training: The dungeon beneath the Lighthouse is a hotspot for killing dagannoth, ideal for Slayer tasks assigned by Chaeldar, Vannaka, or Duradel.
• God Books: After completing the quest, Jossik, the Lighthouse keeper, provides and replaces God books, which are valuable for combat bonuses.
• Unique Items: Jossik’s store sells niche items like pestle and mortars, vials, and a variety of alcoholic beverages, useful for Herblore and quests.

With these incentives in mind, let’s dive into the various ways to reach this iconic location.

Preparation for Traveling to the Lighthouse

Quest Requirements

To enter the Lighthouse, you must at least start the Horror from the Deep quest. Here’s what you need:

• Quest Start: Speak to Larrissa outside the Lighthouse to begin the quest. She’ll direct you to retrieve the Lighthouse key from Gunnjorn in the Barbarian Outpost agility arena.
• Skills: 35 Agility is recommended to safely jump across the basalt rocks from the Barbarian Outpost, reducing the chance of falling into the water.
• Items for Quest: If progressing through the quest, bring one of each elemental rune (Air, Earth, Fire, Water), a sword, and an arrow to unlock the strange wall in the basement.

Recommended Gear

Depending on your travel method and goals, consider the following:

• Teleport Items: Games necklace, Enchanted lyre, or fairy ring access (after partial completion of Fairy Tale II).
• Combat Gear: If heading to the dungeon, bring ranged or melee gear, as dagannoth use both ranged and melee attacks. Full metal armor is advised for protection.
• Food and Potions: The dungeon is multi-combat, so pack food and perhaps Bones to Peaches tablets for extended stays.

Fastest Teleport Methods to Reach the Lighthouse

Teleportation is the quickest way to get to the Lighthouse, especially for players with access to specific items or spells. Below are the best teleport options, ranked by convenience.

Fairy Ring (Code: ALP)

The fairy ring teleport is the fastest and most direct method, landing you right at the Lighthouse. However, it requires partial completion of the Fairy Tale II – Cure a Queen quest to unlock fairy ring access.

• Requirements: Dramen or Lunar staff, partial completion of Fairy Tale II.
• Steps: Use the fairy ring network, input the code ALP, and you’ll arrive on the Lighthouse island.
• Pros: Instant access, no risk of damage.
• Cons: Quest requirement may be a barrier for newer players.

Lighthouse Teleport Scroll

The Lighthouse Teleport scroll is a single-use item that teleports you directly in front of the Lighthouse.

• Requirements: Obtain the scroll from Treasure Trails (clue scrolls).
• Steps: Read the scroll to teleport instantly.
• Pros: No quest or skill requirements.
• Cons: Scrolls are tradeable but costly and consumed upon use.

Other Teleport Options

If you lack fairy ring access or scrolls, these alternatives get you close to the Lighthouse:

Method	Requirements	Destination	Notes
Games Necklace	None	Barbarian Outpost	Cheap and accessible; requires jumping across basalt rocks.
Barbarian Teleport (Lunar Spellbook)	75 Magic, Lunar Diplomacy	Barbarian Outpost	Uses runes (2 Law, 3 Fire, 6 Astral).
Enchanted Lyre	The Fremennik Trials	Rellekka	Walk west to the Lighthouse; lyre charges needed.
House Teleport (Rellekka)	Player-owned house in Rellekka	Rellekka	Requires Construction level or Rellekka tablet (post-Love Story).

Walking Route from Barbarian Outpost

For players without teleport options or those looking to save resources, walking from the Barbarian Outpost is a viable method, though it involves some risk.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Reach the Barbarian Outpost: Use a Games necklace or walk from Seers’ Village.
2. Head North: Move north along the coast until you see columnar basalt rocks protruding from the sea.
3. Jump Across Rocks: Click each rock to jump across. An Agility level above 35 reduces the chance of slipping, which can cause up to 10 damage and sweep you back to shore.
4. Arrive at the Island: Once across, head north to the Lighthouse.

Tips for Safe Crossing

• Boost Agility: Use an Agility potion or Summer pie if your level is below 35.
• Bring Food: Falling into the water deals damage, so pack a few pieces of food.
• Practice Timing: Take your time to avoid misclicks, as rushing increases the risk of slipping.

Accessing the Lighthouse During Horror from the Deep

If you’re visiting the Lighthouse as part of the Horror from the Deep quest, additional steps are required to enter the building and progress.

Obtaining the Lighthouse Key

To unlock the Lighthouse door, you need the Lighthouse key:

• Start the Quest: Speak to Larrissa outside the Lighthouse. She’ll mention her missing boyfriend, Jossik, and ask you to retrieve a key.
• Visit Gunnjorn: Travel to the Barbarian Outpost agility arena to get the key from Gunnjorn. You don’t need Agility levels to enter the arena.
• Unlock the Door: Return to the Lighthouse and use the key on the door. After unlocking it once, the key is no longer needed.

Navigating the Basement

During the quest, you’ll need to access the Lighthouse basement to rescue Jossik and fight the Dagannoth Mother.

• Strange Wall: In the basement, interact with the strange wall by using one Air, Earth, Fire, and Water rune, a sword, and an arrow. These items are consumed but only needed once.
• Combat Preparation: The Dagannoth Mother uses multiple attack styles, so bring a variety of weapons (melee, ranged, magic) and prayer potions.
• Post-Quest Access: After completing the quest, the basement becomes a Slayer hotspot with level 74 and 92 dagannoth.

Reaching the Lighthouse in Old School RuneScape is a straightforward task once you know your options. Whether you opt for the instant fairy ring teleport, a Lighthouse Teleport scroll, or the scenic basalt rock route, each method caters to different player levels and resources. For those embarking on the Horror from the Deep quest, securing the Lighthouse key and preparing for the basement challenges are crucial steps. With this guide, you’re equipped to make the journey efficiently and dive into the adventures awaiting at this iconic OSRS location. Safe travels, and may your Slayer tasks be fruitful!
